The hundred or so meters to the restaurant were an enormous torment for Jiang Yuan.
His mind was frantically thinking of countermeasures.
Call them directly and tell them to run?
Inappropriate, completely inappropriate.
From the moment the infiltrator mission began, unless absolutely necessary, infiltrators absolutely must not contact others easily.
Never underestimate these fanatics.
And never underestimate Seekers!
Finding infiltrators was a Seeker's specialty. Never challenge their specialty.
You never knew where they might discover your flaws. Once discovered, all previous efforts would be wasted.
So Jiang Yuan definitely couldn't use his own phone to notify them. Even sending messages in this area might be dangerous.
Who knew if Jiang Yue telling him these things just now was actually testing him?
What if it was a test?
Then using technological devices to monitor his communications?
It was even possible that the entire area he was in was under surveillance!
Calm, he must be calm!
Jiang Yuan forced himself to calm down, slowly walking into the restaurant.
Regardless of whether it was a test, the message must be transmitted. Better safe than sorry!
So how to transmit this message while minimizing the chance of suspicion falling on him depended on how he could operate next.
Entering the restaurant, Jiang Yuan used the corner of his eye to scan the entire area, locking onto the positions and angles of two cameras.
After sitting down, he began ordering food under the waiter's service, his smile remaining, showing no sign on the surface of the burning urgency in his heart right now.
After ordering, while no one around was paying attention to him, Jiang Yuan got up, pretending to go to the restaurant's cooler to get a drink.
Actually, on the way to the cooler, there was a surveillance blind spot.
And while passing through this blind spot, Jiang Yuan's hand flipped, and two fingernail-sized black square objects appeared in his hand. With a flick of his fingers, they accurately hit the sides of the cameras.
These two objects had magnetic properties, directly adhering to them.
These were ultra-mini signal jammers.
Small items Jiang Yuan had gotten from Lu Zhongyou.
Besides these signal jammers, there were many other small items—usually useless, but extremely useful at critical moments.
The jammer's function wasn't to directly blur the camera footage, but to interfere with the camera's memory and chips through virtual signals, making the camera replay content from an hour ago.
He casually grabbed a carbonated drink from the cooler and returned to sit down, seemingly waiting for his food, but actually observing the surrounding diners.
It was lunchtime now; there were quite a few diners, chatting or playing with their phones.
Jiang Yuan focused mainly on those playing with their phones.
He observed for several minutes.
Suddenly, a girl who had been chatting perhaps got tired, casually picking up her phone from the table.
But her phone might be rather poor; after several failed facial recognition attempts, a password input interface popped up.
The other party seemed used to all this, just very annoyed as she pressed a six-digit password.
The distance was slightly far; he couldn't clearly see the specific numbers she pressed.
But Jiang Yuan could judge the password numbers and sequence based on the angle of her finger presses.
Memorizing the girl's phone password, Jiang Yuan continued observing.
Before long, the food arrived too. Jiang Yuan ate very calmly.
But the corner of his eye had been paying attention to that girl the whole time.
Right at this moment!
The girl said something to her companion, took her phone, and walked toward the restroom.
Jiang Yuan immediately put down his chopsticks, pulled a few napkins, wiped his mouth while walking unhurriedly toward the restroom direction as well.
Jiang Yuan deliberately quickened his pace, then "accidentally" bumped into the girl.
The girl instantly became furious, turning back to angrily say: "You f***ing walk without eyes... Little brother, are you okay? Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have been walking in the middle just now. Are you okay?"
The girl performed a master-level Sichuan opera face-changing.
When she turned back, she had an angry expression; after seeing Jiang Yuan's face, she immediately revealed what she thought was her sweetest smile, hurriedly asking with concern.
"Sorry, Miss, I accidentally bumped into you. I'm in a bit of a hurry."
Jiang Yuan's face was full of apology.
Jiang Yuan's apologetic little expression made the girl's heart melt. Why was there such a handsome guy! Was he a celebrity? Ah ah ah, too handsome!!!
The girl shouted in her heart, but on the surface hurriedly said: "No problem, no problem, it was my fault for walking in the middle too slowly... You hurry to the restroom!"
Jiang Yuan gave the girl another apologetic smile, then quickly entered the men's room under her pink bubble-filled gaze.
He quickly entered one of the stalls in the men's room. His hand flipped, and the girl's pink phone case phone appeared in his hand.
Jiang Yuan was very glad he had properly learned theft skills from Lin Le.
Setting aside distracting thoughts, he tried inputting according to the memorized password.
Sure enough, unlocked instantly.
Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, immediately opening messages, entering Wang Rou's phone number, and beginning to edit the text.
He didn't choose to call.
If this area was really under surveillance, then if he called, his voice would definitely be captured, and he would be completely exposed.
Even sending text messages couldn't be obvious; instead, he sent a string of 4s.
This was their simplest agreed-upon code.
There were several types of numbers in total. The more numbers, the higher the danger level, with five being the highest.
1 meant he was in danger, might die, and not to come save him;
2 meant he was in danger, but could come support immediately;
3 meant they were in danger, and he should be vigilant;
4 meant they were in danger, run immediately, run, run!
There were several other numbers representing different meanings, and Jiang Yuan sent three 4s in a row, proving it was very dangerous! Very dangerous! Very dangerous!
The reason he didn't send five 4s was that Jiang Yuan couldn't be 100% certain whether Jiang Yue's target was Wang Rou and the others.
Additionally, if he sent five 4s, that would be when the situation was at its most critical—for example, already at their door, surrounding them!
The current situation was dangerous, very dangerous, but didn't reach the standard of four 4s or five 4s.
Because this code couldn't be sent casually either. Sending it casually would give teammates wrong signals.
For example, sending five 4s now—that situation was generally when escape was impossible, ten deaths and no life, survival probability extremely slim.
Then team members would very likely choose mutually assured destruction methods.
Rather die, they would pull a few with them; rather die, they wouldn't give the other side the opportunity to sacrifice them to grow stronger!
After transmitting the message to his teammates, formatting all traces, Jiang Yuan immediately put the phone back in his pocket, looking as if nothing had happened as he walked out of the restroom, even washing his hands.
Then he wiped the girl's phone clean of fingerprints and placed it on the sink counter.
Coming to the corner, sure enough, he saw the girl from earlier touching her pockets up and down while looking down searching everywhere, her face somewhat anxious and irritated.
"Hello, are you looking for your phone? I just saw a phone on the sink counter that should be yours, right?"
Jiang Yuan walked over smiling.
The girl was stunned, then nodded joyfully: "Yes, yes, I lost my phone... Aiya, I must have accidentally left it there when I washed my hands just now... Little brother, thank you. Let's exchange contact information!"
"My girlfriend checks my phone every day. To avoid her misunderstanding, sorry."
Jiang Yuan waved his hand, smiling: "Goodbye."
With that, he turned and left, leaving only that girl standing in place with a face full of regret.
When he came to the dining area, Jiang Yuan flipped his hand and somehow produced a toothpick.
Breaking the toothpick into two pieces, holding one in each hand, extremely weak Salvation power flowed into them, then with a flick of his fingers—
The two toothpicks wrapped in Salvation power shot out, accurately hitting the signal jammers on the two cameras.
Instantly shattering the already fragile jammers into pieces, scattering against the walls.
Because they were small and broken into multiple pieces, they didn't attract anyone's attention after falling.
These fragments, even if obtained by enemies, couldn't reveal any useful information.
After doing all this, Jiang Yuan didn't linger. After paying the bill, he left unhurriedly.
Whether Wang Rou and the others could escape this calamity, Jiang Yuan didn't know.
Anyway, he had done everything he could.
Everything depended on fate now!
