Chapter 221: You Haven't Been Peeped On, Right? (Part 1)
Early the next morning, Old Yi called Zhang Yang and asked how to deal with Cao Decai.
Zhang Yang thought for a moment, didn't answer directly, and instead asked, "Did the person who instructed him call him yet?"
"Not yet!"
Hearing that, Zhang Yang frowned. As expected, the people the other side placed at this construction site might not only be Cao Decai. So last night's commotion was somewhat miscalculated. Most likely, the other side already knew that Cao Decai had been caught.
After thinking briefly, he replied, "Didn't Cao Decai say that the other party usually contacts him in the morning? It might also be at other times. Keep an eye on him for a few days. If the other party contacts him, tell me immediately."
"Alright!" Old Yi paused for a moment, then asked, "If not, should we…"
Old Yi hesitated and slowly said, "Should we take care of the guy?"
Zhang Yang froze for a second, thought for a while, and sighed. "Forget it, he's just greedy for a little money. He might not even know what the other party's real purpose is. He doesn't deserve to die. Even if we kill him, it won't help. If no one contacts him after a while, let him go, but he can't stay on the construction site."
"Also, keep people watching him. Maybe someone else will come looking for him."
"Hehe, boss, your words sound exactly like Miss Xu's." Old Yi chuckled over the phone.
Zhang Yang was stunned and asked, "You asked Lulu about it?"
"Yeah, but Miss Xu said after that, everything should still follow your lead, and that I should ask you for instructions."
Hearing that, Zhang Yang gave a bitter smile, though he didn't think much of it. He'd already said before that they could go to Xu Danlu first for any issue. Xu Danlu's words were as good as his.
His bitter smile came because Lulu had basically voiced what he himself thought. She knew him too well. But there was one thing she didn't understand—she cared too much about him, too much about his face. She could've made that decision herself instead of having Old Yi report to him again.
That girl probably cares about him even more than he cares about her. Poor thing.
"Alright, since she and I agree, do as she said. From now on, let her handle this kind of thing entirely. No need to ask me again. Also, tell Brother Xiong."
"Got it."
Cao Decai's matter was temporarily settled. But this was just the beginning. The enemy had already made a move and extended their reach right under his nose. Now it was his turn to strike back.
Honestly, there wasn't much need to analyze. The ones who wanted him dead the most right now were the Du family, the Cai family, and the Bai and Peng families. The Bai family was basically finished. That left the Du, Peng, and Cai families.
Zhang Yang didn't have enough power to wipe out those powerful families, but he could still snap off the fingers they stretched toward him one by one.
The first step was finding the mole. Nuwa Company had over three hundred employees now. Although the workers at the construction site weren't directly under Nuwa Company, there were nearly a thousand of them, and they were the closest to the villa. Last time, Cai Yu had done the same thing—sent a dozen people trying to break in. If it hadn't been for Lulu's precautions, all his hard work would've gone to waste.
He called Zhou Lunfa and Chen Tianxiong over.
"Within three days, investigate every worker's background. Pay special attention to new faces."
"The security department will start overseeing construction quality. No detail can be overlooked. If the other side tries to tamper with the building, the losses won't be something money alone can fix."
Zhang Yang believed that these two actions might not completely eliminate spies or moles, but at least they would serve as a deterrent.
I've seen your moves.
After sending the two away, Zhang Yang brought his beautiful sister-in-law Xu Danying to the fifth floor again to continue working on the surveillance system. The results last night had been outstanding, so the daytime performance should be even better.
After testing it, he found that the daytime results were indeed far better than at night. After a round of adjustments, he still noticed a few minor issues.
The first was the number of cameras. There were currently eighteen installed, but the surveillance range only covered within two hundred meters of the villa. The system's intelligent analysis had an effective range of just fifty meters. Zhang Yang decided to add about twelve more cameras in blind spots.
Another issue was the risk alert system. It automatically categorized threats based on what it detected and classified them according to the level of threat to the villa.
There were six threat levels.
Level 1 was the highest, Level 6 the lowest.
Generally, the first three levels meant that the system predicted or detected an imminent or active attack on the villa.
Levels 4 to 6 meant that the target was observing the villa or engaging in activities unfavorable to it.
For example, last night's Cao Decai triggered a Level 5 alert. The system detected that he had been observing the villa for a long time using optical tools, and based on his facial expressions and micro-movements, it determined that he posed a potential threat.
Level 6 alerts were triggered by voyeuristic behavior toward the villa. Although not directly harmful, Zhang Yang found it extremely annoying. If those perverts got to peep at the beautiful women in the villa—imagine them changing clothes or showering, especially someone as carefree as Gao Qi, who often forgot to close the windows while bathing or changing—
If someone caught a glimpse of her big, white, luscious boobs, wouldn't that be a huge loss? Just thinking about it made him irritated.
So when developing the system, he specifically told Danying to include voyeur detection.
But after adding it, from last night until now, there had been sixty-four Level 6 alerts… Damn, that's just… way too many perverts.
Zhang Yang began wondering if he should raise the fence higher.
But the alarms went off so frequently that he had to disable the Level 6 alerts. Then Danying checked the source code and found a problem in the program.
The system had been classifying anyone who stared at the villa with a lewd expression for more than ten seconds as a voyeur. After fixing it and turning the Level 6 alerts back on, there were still six guys peeping. According to the records—
Around six in the morning, the system even caught one weirdo masturbating in a corner while peeping.
Zhang Yang was speechless. Damn, it was dawn! Which girl in the villa would even be up that early? Could he have seen someone bathing or changing?
Zhang Yang calculated the viewing angle using the system, and found that the direction the guy was peeping toward was the fourth floor.
And if he was right, it had to be either Room 401 or 402. 401 was Xu Dantong's, 402 was Gao Qi's.
Damn.
If it was those two, it was easy to guess—it must've been the big boobs, right?
Zhang Yang's face darkened. Big Boobs was always so open; she probably didn't close the window while bathing.
Damn, what a loss.
Without hesitation, Zhang Yang rushed downstairs to find Gao Qi. He knocked for a while but got no response. Then he remembered she'd gone to work.
Thinking for a moment, he took a picture of the peeping pervert and sent it to Old Yi, telling him to catch the guy.
Then he called Gao Qi. She was on her lunch break and sounded annoyed when she heard Zhang Yang's voice. "You ruined my wet dream, what the hell do you want?"
Uh, wet dream? Zhang Yang was speechless. After a pause, he asked, "What time did you get up this morning?"
"What time? Why are you asking that?"
"Just curious."
"Hehe, you perv, are you asking so you can come fuck me first thing every morning for exercise?"
Zhang Yang was left speechless again. "I'm being serious. Did you take a shower this morning?"
"Damn it, Zhang Yang, are you nuts? Why would I shower in the morning? I always bathe at eight at night. You've showered with me plenty of times. You even know how many hairs I have down there, and you still dare ask me?"
Zhang Yang clutched his chest to prevent a heart attack and muttered angrily, "You dumbass, can you not shout that loud? So you didn't shower, fine. Did you change clothes with the window open?"
"Huh? What's with you today? Are you afraid someone peeked at me?" Gao Qi's voice suddenly softened. "Don't worry, you bastard. I'm careful these days—even when I wear a miniskirt, I'm cautious. This perfect, fair, tender body is for you alone to enjoy."
"Uh… so you're saying you close the curtains when changing now?"
"Obviously. There's construction outside. Even though the glass is one-way, I can still see them, and it feels uncomfortable. I keep the curtains tightly closed even when I sleep. No one's seeing anything."
Hearing that, Zhang Yang let out a breath of relief. Gao Qi might be carefree, but she was honest. She wouldn't lie about this.
So if it wasn't her… then was it Xu Dantong?
Damn! The more Zhang Yang thought about it, the angrier he got. That bastard—he'd just caught Cao Decai last night, and now someone dared to peep early in the morning? Balls of steel.
Not long after, Old Yi called to say they'd found the guy. He was a night-shift worker, but had already gone home.
"I've sent people to his place to grab him, but he lives a bit far, so it'll take some time."
"Alright, don't let him get away. I'll make him an example."
Peeping at his beautiful sister-in-law? Even an uncle wouldn't tolerate that shit.
After hanging up, Zhang Yang looked toward Xu Dantong's room. The system showed she was inside. He was wondering if he should ask her about it when the door suddenly opened, revealing Xu Dantong's pretty face.
"Brother-in-law, you're outside? Were you looking for me?"
Zhang Yang glanced at her. She was wearing a blue-and-white striped cotton short jumpsuit with a black vest, her bangs cut straight across her forehead, her big round eyes blinking up at him.
In this villa, aside from Yang Fei, only Qiao Xier's looks could rival hers. She was a top-tier beauty. The Xu sisters all had great figures, and her round-neck outfit emphasized her ample chest, the deep white cleavage making Zhang Yang recall that one early morning when he'd accidentally brushed against those soft mounds.
Thinking about that incident made him connect it to this morning. His sister-in-law was an early riser—so if he wasn't mistaken, that pervert must've seen Xu Dantong.
Damn it, either way, he had to warn her.
Thinking that, he said, "Yeah, I was looking for you."
