Chapter 3089
"Adrian installed a program on my phone and also added a little gadget,” said
Luke. He spoke openly because he knew there were no bugs here.
He picked up his phone, removed the protective cover, and pointed at a small
protrusion in one corner of the phone.
Luca looked at the tiny gadget which was smaller than a grain of rice. If she had
seen it under normal circumstances, she might have thought it was a speck of
dust. She definitely would not have thought of it as a high-tech gadget.
"What is this?" "This is a surveillance detection device. As long as you open the
app in a certain location and select the inspection range, it can help check for
any surveillance or monitoring devices within that range,” explained Luke. This
little gadget was developed by Adrian.
It was proven to be very useful after numerous experiments.
Percy did not want such a useful tool to circulate on the market because once it
did, there would be methods to crack it.
If there was a way to crack it, the device would become useless.
Therefore, Percy bought it out at a high price and restricted its use among his
close friends.
Luca looked at Luke in surprise as he opened the app and selected the range
within it.
Their bedroom had no surveillance. That was why the device did not trigger any
alerts when they chose a small range.
As Luke gradually expanded the range, it eventually covered downstairs. The
device finally sounded an alarm.
Luca knew that there were quite a few surveillance devices on the first floor of
the old mansion, in the garden, and in the living room. She could not help but
exclaim, "This is kind of convenient.”
Luke nodded, turned off the device, and said, "This device is currently the most
advanced, so it's very convenient and beneficial for us to use. That's why Percy
bought out the technology of this device."
"Bought out?" Luca was surprised. However, she also knew that once this
technology hit the market, it might not be long before someone developed a
batch of surveillance monitoring devices using sound waves that could evade this
equipment.
By then, only ordinary people would be able to use this device. However, this
device looked expensive, and ordinary people might not be able to afford it
anyway. It was good that Percy bought it out at once.
At least they could temporarily avoid the quick appearance of surveillance
devices that could evade this device.
Luca knew that technology would continue to advance, and there would soon be
more advanced surveillance devices. However, this device was useful enough at
the moment.
"Well, it wasn't just Percy who paid for it. He and Adrian signed the contract, and
Jim and I also contributed.” Luke put the protective cover back onto the phone
after that.
He did not like using phone covers because he could always get a new one once
the phone broke.
However, in order to protect this small device, he had to use a protective cover
for his phone.
Luca nodded in understanding and let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there was no surveillance here. Otherwise, if Abel knew she had
already confessed her identity to Luke, Nyla’s life would be in danger.
Luca was scared, but she also felt fortunate that Luke had gone to great lengths
to protect the two of them.
"Let's go to bed," suggested Luke. He lifted the blanket and lay down.
Luca lay down on the bed too.
She leaned close against Luke and asked in a soft voice, "Luke, are you sure
everything will be okay?"
"Everything will be fine. I've arranged everything," reassured Luke as he held her
close. "All we need to do now is to go to bed. Otherwise, we might not have a
chance to rest later.”
"Okay," replied Luca. She tried to calm her racing heart and close her eyes.
Even though her heart was racing, Luke always had a calming effect on her.
Perhaps she was tired or perhaps her anxiety was gradually being soothed, but
Luca gradually closed her eyes. She soon drifted off to sleep.
As Luke listened to Luca's steady breathing, he knew she had fallen asleep. He
then turned on a small night light.
He did not get up or attend to any work.
Tonight, the most important thing for him was to stay here with Luca without
going anywhere. Leaving the night light on was to keep unwelcome visitors away.
After all, with the light on, they would not dare to make any reckless moves.
Half an hour had passed.
The garden was silent.
The old mansion was situated near other attractions. Hence, there were no
visitors around when night fell. It was quiet in the old mansion.
Luke closed his eyes and went to bed with Luca. At the same time, something
was happening in the garden of the old mansion.
A few people crossed over the wall and managed to climb in smoothly.
"Boss, aren't there supposed to be infrared alarms here? I think I touched
something just now, but the alarm didn't go off," said a man.
Gale frowned when he heard the man’s words. He picked up a small stone from
the ground and threw it outside.
He deliberately threw it low, almost scraping against the outer wall.
Indeed, the alarm did not go off.
"The infrared alarm has been turned off." Gale shot a glance at his careless
subordinate. "I've trained you better than this. Why have you become so
clumsy?"
"But it didn't go off..." The man awkwardly rubbed the back of his head, knowing
that he had not performed well.
He was never like this during training. It was just an accident today.
"If it did, how would we carry out the boss’ mission?" Gale asked in a low voice.
The man chuckled and did not argue.

"Got it." Several people headed toward the parking lot of the old mansion.

Luke already told them that the items
were in the trunk of the car. They
needed to take away the herbs
without giving the enemy any chance
to notice. The content is on

Gale easily found Luke's car and used a spare key to open the trunk. He took out
the bags of herbs.
Then, they retraced their steps, with two men carrying the herbs while the others
began to lay in wait.
After Gale was done with everything, he sent a message to Luke.
Since Luke's phone was not on silent mode, the vibrations sounded abrupt in the
bedroom.
Luke was a light sleeper. The moment his phone vibrated, he opened his eyes.
Luke picked up his phone and glanced at it. Gale had reported all the basic
details.

They had successfully moved away
the herbs and completed the setup in
the yard. Gale also reported that the
infrared alarm had been deactivated.

A steely gleam flashed across Luke's eyes. Indeed, Otto was one of them.
For the sake of surveilling him, they actually stationed a housekeeper at this old
mansion.
This was X City, a place Luke seldom visited. Yet, Abel had gone to such lengths
to arrange for a butler here.
Otto would keep a close watch on him at all times whenever he came...
Abel really was a crafty beast, setting up defenses everywhere.
