You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

In order not to attract attention, Xu Yi kept a low profile.

When walking, try to keep your head down and look at the road, and don't look around for fear of meeting someone else's eyes.

As he approached his destination, he finally slowed down.

Then I found a park bench and sat down on the spot.

A piece of newspaper spread out could cover Xu Yi's entire face, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered by passers-by.

The remaining four members of the Jiangye Operation Team are equipped with wireless headsets to facilitate communication and contact at any time. But Xu Yi didn't wear one, because the Augustan he played didn't know how to wear a headset. If he wore one for the convenience of communication, he would most likely be discovered.

So Xu Yi didn't know the situation of the other four people.

However, Liu Ruyan and Lu Xu, who were squatting at the gate, could see Xu Yi and pay attention to Xu Yi's every move.

Chen Ziang was still doing things in Monte Park, while Lu Yuan went to lay some simple traps. After noon, the two of them would return to their pre-arranged positions and be responsible for guarding the manor.

"It's so hard. This newspaper, which is all in French, is too ugly."

Xu Yi pretended to read the newspaper, but he didn't read a word in his heart. He was keenly observing everything around him with the corner of his eyes. He arrived a little too early. There was still an afternoon before Augustan left the manor, and this time was not easy to pass.

He simply leaned on the park bench and closed his eyes slightly to rest.

The sun is good.

The weather in early autumn in September is a good day with clear skies and crisp air.

Xu Yi accidentally fell asleep when he squinted. When a gust of wind blew the newspaper off his face, Xu Yi woke up with a start. The sky had begun to get dark, and it was almost evening!
Xu Yi quickly picked up the newspaper to regain his consciousness.

Not long after, he saw Augustan walking out of the gate of the manor, with three bodyguards still following behind him. Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, the real test was coming!
At this time, it was extremely quiet inside and outside the manor.

Needless to say, all unrest outside the manor were eliminated by members of the night action team.

The purpose was to provide a safe environment for Xu Yi to enter the manor.

Xu Yi was thinking that he would completely assume his role as Augustan within these ten minutes. Although he had prepared for this all night and all day, these ten minutes were the most critical.

Call ~
Time soon came to the point scheduled by Xu Yi, Augustan left the manor, and ten minutes passed.

Xu Yi stood up.

He dusted off some dust on his body, and then walked directly towards the gate of the manor.

At the gate of the manor, there was no fingerprint recognition or retinal recognition as Xu Yi had imagined. He walked straight in without causing any alarm. This made Xu Yi's heart sink slightly. Is the security alert system offline?
If Xu Yi remembered correctly, someone broke through the gate of the manor yesterday and set off an alarm with the first step.

It's hard to move an inch.

But why...

Could it be that this security system can independently identify the owner of the manor, that is, the figure and appearance of Augustan, and has already acquiesced that I am Augustan himself? If it was just based on facial recognition, Xu Yi was confident that his disguise technique would definitely be able to look real.

Not only the face, but also the facial structure is exactly the same.

What he is most worried about is retinal recognition.

But obviously, Augustan might have thought this inspection procedure was too troublesome, so he didn't set it up.

Xu Yi entered the manor without any danger.

The front yard is a large garden. Xu Yi knew the layout of the entire manor by heart before he came in. Although it was his first time here, he was like a familiar guest. Which road leads to where? All gates are clear.

He did not linger in the garden for too long, but went directly into the manor room.

Where is the "Matador"?

According to Augustan's confidence in this security warning system, this famous painting used for fishing should be placed in a particularly conspicuous position.

There was no one in the manor, and no patrol team had been encountered yet.

Xu Yi counted the time in his mind and started searching room by room.

Although Augustan has a rich collection, Xu Yi only wanted to sneak into the manor with the purpose of "Matador". Even if the other items were priceless, he would not touch them. After all, it was bought by others for collection, and its nature is still different from that of robbing it.

"Boss, why are you back?"

Just as Xu Yi pushed open the third room, a voice came from behind.

Xu Yi turned around and saw two manor guards.

These patrols basically don't care about what's going on outside, and will only come out to maintain order when the alarm sounds. After all, the security alert system is just an alarm reminder system and does not have the function of counterattack and defense.

If there is no patrol, and thieves come in to take things when the alarm goes off, regardless of whether the alarm is alive or dead, then whose fault is it?
Therefore, it is reasonable for Augustan to arrange for ten guards to stay in the manor.

"Is this a question you should ask?" Xu Yi said calmly with Augustan's voice and tone: "Pay attention to patrols. In the past few days, more and more people have begun to use various methods to invade the manor. If that painting is stolen, you don’t have to do anything!”

The two guards immediately lowered their heads and said:

"Don't worry, boss, we will defend the manor and make sure not a single mosquito comes in!"

"Go do something!" Xu Yi didn't ask where the painting was.

Questions like this that are obviously mentally retarded and can easily reveal one's identity should not be asked unless absolutely necessary.

Of course, this was because Xu Yi didn't want to talk to the other party.

Too many words will be lost.

Especially in this situation, no one knows whether there is any special password between Augustan, a wealthy man, and these guards. If it is true, if you say a few words, the secret will most likely be revealed.

After the two guards left, Xu Yi checked the room in front of him and came out finding nothing.

I have checked three rooms in a row, but can't find the "Matador". This shows that this idea is wrong. There is a high probability that the painting will not be hidden in the room, so where will it be?
Xu Yi unfolded the layout of the entire manor in his mind.

And then speculate one by one, huh?

Could it be there? !
Xu Yi suddenly remembered a place. There was a glass house in the back garden of the manor. This sunroom was originally used to cultivate special flower species. Now that Augustan has taken this position, he will definitely display this painting in a grand manner. There is absolutely no reason to hide it!
Thinking of this, Xu Yi turned around the corridor and walked straight to the back garden.

Pushing open the back door of the manor building, what comes into view is the huge back garden. In the middle is the glass room. Judging from the area, it is about twenty square meters. The place that was originally used to plant flowers is now empty. The entire glass room can be seen at a glance.

In the glass room, there is a booth in the middle.

There is a long square box on top.

"This is it. The box must be Picasso's "Matador"! I really don't understand the game played by the rich." Xu Yi secretly muttered in his heart, if he owns such a world-famous painting, he must be doing a good job Hide it and try not to let anyone know.

But Augustan not only showed it off, but also called on experts from all walks of life to come and steal it.

This made Xu Yi sigh with emotion:

The gap between myself and the truly rich is at least a galaxy wide.

Without any further hesitation, he opened the door of the glass room, opened the box, and confirmed the target.

After confirming that it was correct, Xu Yi directly put the painting back into the box, then tied the rope and took the box out of the glass room.

Things went surprisingly smoothly.

This security alert system claims to be able to stop thieves from all over the world?

Can't?

Is it because I am very lucky?

Xu Yi really couldn't find any other reason. None of the difficulties he had imagined before appeared. He was even in a trance for a moment, thinking that he was still sitting on a park bench, where could he be dreaming?

But the facts are there.

Picasso's "Matador" is in Xu Yi's hands at the moment, this is true.

Xu Yi walked out of the glass room, looked at the night slowly gathering, and couldn't help but sigh:
"I am indeed a lucky general!"

……

Outside the manor.

Lu Xu and others were also on full alert.

So far, except for a gang in the east gate direction that intends to invade the manor, the other directions are temporarily quiet.

"Lao Lu, can you handle it?"

"It's a trivial matter. I didn't even have to take action. I just used a small trap and the other party was defeated."

"Don't be careless, we must guard it!"

"Don't worry, we are all working for ourselves, who dares to let go?"

Several people were talking through headsets, and their mentality was extremely relaxed.

Liu Ruyan did not join in the chat, and kept staring at the gate of the manor.

Lu Xu saw this and said with a smile:
"Ruyan, you don't have to be so nervous."

"Brother Xu is doing something that others don't know about. We should know it best. If it is really possible to accomplish this matter, then only Brother Xu can take action, and no one else can."

Liu Ruyan had no objection to this, but she was still a little worried and said:

"I understand everything."

"It's just that no one knows what's going on in the manor."

Everyone can get the layout of the estate because it's not a secret. However, the various later designs in the manor, whether there are mechanisms, traps, etc., are not on the layout plan, which is why Liu Ruyan is worried.

However, Lu Xu said carelessly:

"What else could it be?"

"This manor is where Augustan lives. Who would set up a trap in their own home?"

"As long as Brother Xu goes in, 80% of the matter will be completed."

I have to say that Lu Xu's optimism is very reasonable.

However, before he could continue to enlighten Liu Ruyan, he saw Liu Ruyan's expression changed drastically.

Lu Xu frowned and quickly looked at the gate of the manor, but saw nothing. He quickly asked: "Ruyan, what's wrong?"

The panic look on Liu Ruyan's face could not be concealed at all, and she said in an almost trembling voice:

"Oh, Augustan is back!"

Lu Xu: "What?!"

These few words were like a bolt from the blue.

He immediately turned his head and looked to the left of the manor. Augustan was slowly approaching the manor with leisurely steps.

It’s all over!

Lu Xu immediately informed the other two companions through the headset:
"Emergency! Emergency!"

"The real owner Augustan suddenly returns, Brother Xu is in danger!"

Chen Ziang's voice came from the headset: "Brother Lu, stop joking. Every time Augustan goes out, he doesn't come back for at least two hours. How could he come back so soon? Did you see it wrong?"

Lu Xu had no intention of joking at all and said directly:

"Everyone wants to think of a way, how to hold the other side down?"

Seeing Lu Xu's hurried tone and a hint of panic, Chen Ziang and Lu Yuan immediately understood that this was no joke.

The real owner is really back!
Lu Yuan immediately said: "Why don't Lao Chen and I rush to the gate?"

"No need for now." It was Liu Ruyan who spoke. She forced herself to calm down very quickly, and then said: "If the four of us want to forcefully stop Augustan, the three bodyguards behind him will definitely take action. To By then, Augustan will know that we are delaying the plan, and he will speed up his return to the manor."

Chen Ziang: "What should we do?"

"Yeah, what should I do?"

Lu Xu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at the moment.

It's really a thousand calculations, and God's calculations are not as good as those of people.

If I had known better, I should have followed Augustan at the beginning, caused some trouble, and left Augustan outside.

It's too late to say anything now.

Lu Xu continued: "We can't inform Brother Xu now. He doesn't know what's going on inside. Once he confronts the real Augustan, the mission will be a complete failure."

"How about I go in directly?" Lu Yuan suggested.

This issue was jointly rejected by Lu Xu, Chen Ziang, Liu Ruyan and others.

Invading the manor at this time will directly accelerate the progress of the matter. By then, even if Xu Yi has a chance to escape, there will be no chance.

Lu Xu thought for a while and said:
"time does not wait."

"Augustan is less than 100 meters away from the manor. According to his slow pace, it will only take a few minutes to arrive. I will talk to Boss Zheng first and ask him what his opinion is. If it doesn't work, I can only do it this time. Accept your defeat and come up with a plan B next time!”

After speaking, Lu Xu contacted Zheng Yun directly.

Zheng Yun did not attend this occasion.

After all, he was a wealthy businessman with status. He personally went to steal something from another wealthy businessman's estate and lost his status.

Zheng Yun may be the supporter behind the scenes, but he must not be the one who leads the charge.

After receiving Lu Xu's call, Zheng Yun pressed the connect button in the first second:

"Brother Lu Xu, how are things... going?"

He originally wanted to ask if things were done, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it shouldn't be possible in such a short time. So instead, I ask, how are things going?

Lu Xu didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"Boss Zheng, Brother Xu has entered the manor."

"Everything originally went according to plan, and the security alert system in the manor did not sound the alarm."

"But... just now..."

"Augustin himself suddenly returned to the manor. He is now less than a hundred meters away from the manor. What should we do?" (End of Chapter)
