Just as Guan Tong began copying the data, the screen suddenly went pitch black. A large, red exclamation point appeared in the center, pulsing nonstop.
"BEEP BEEP! WARNING! UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS DETECTED!"
"BEEP BEEP! WARNING! UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS DETECTED!"
The alarm blared, its ear-piercing sound echoing throughout the entire surveillance room.
At the same time, a loud CLANK came from the door lock. Built-in steel bolts shot out from the mechanism, sealing the door tight.
Meanwhile, Valery, who was drinking and carousing with company in a private room on the second floor, felt his phone vibrate violently in his pocket.
He pulled it out and looked, and his expression changed instantly.
"The surveillance room!"
'Looks like these devices are rigged to lock down the instant someone tries to transfer any electronic data from them...'
Guan Tong wasn't a tech-savvy hacker, so it was no surprise he hadn't noticed the trap.
Listening to the blaring alarm, he didn't panic.
