Therefore, it’s more likely that the security booth contained robot guards, constrained by their line of sight and thus remaining unobserved.
It seed the security level was quite strict, and it would not be easy for outsiders to infiltrate.
Jiang Shu made this assessnt in his mind.
So what would Gary do?
Go unmatched?
Without finding the president and Hughes, he’d be arrested right away.
Descend from the sky?
Jiang Shu glanced at the sky through the car window.
It was already 9 a.m., and the weather was good today, almost cloudless. The challenge of silently dropping into the Seges Building from the air remained.
The business van turned right, passed a long slope, and then entered into an underground parking garage.
The garage was not pitch black; bright white lights were on, which appeared to be kept on always to allow caras to monitor every corner of the garage without blind spots.
The garage was large, and there weren’t many cars parked there, occupying perhaps around one-tenth of the available spaces, but each car was expensive.
Even Jiang Shu could tell that these cars were in the luxury range.
Many luxury cars, Jiang Shu could understand, but all cars being luxury ones...
Could it be that this underground garage only housed vehicles belonging to company executives and clients?
This thought surfaced in his mind.
Perhaps.
Jiang Shu didn’t ponder on this for too long because their car had already stopped in the parking space arranged by the Sages Group.
He quickly got out of the car and then went around to the other side to open the door for his family’s young master, Wolf.
There were caras here, and since they had to put on an act, it had to be done thoroughly.
And Wolf, exiting the vehicle, stood up straight next to the car, nodding at Jiang Shu with an expressionless face: "Mm."
Then he began to straighten out his attire. Though he hardly did anything, rely touching the collar, smoothing out the tie, and securing the family crest so it wouldn’t fall off, these motions still exuded an air of superiority.
After a simple disguise, their facial features hadn’t changed much, but it would still be hard to recognize them at a glance.
Unless one was very familiar with them, it would be nearly impossible to detect their true identities.
At this mont, a woman dressed as a professional erged from sowhere within the garage, approaching with a smile: "Are you Mr. Jason Diggs and Mr. Tang Jiu? Hello, I am the Sages Group liaison for your case. My surna is Han, you can call Ms. Han."
"Hello," Jiang Shu replied with a smile and shook her hand, while Wolf next to him shook her hand silently.
"Please follow ," Ms. Han gestured and led the two n toward a corridor on one side of the underground parking garage.
"We at Sages Group have already read through your cooperation proposal, and your visit this ti is mainly concerning the ’Ho Security Plan,’" Ms. Han continued as she guided them and briefed them about the company. "Sages Group has always been a leader in the security system industry. According to your requirents, we have devised three corresponding options. Next, we will head to the eting room. There we can discuss the cooperation plans in detail."
"Mm, that will be fine, thank you for your efforts, Ms. Han," Jiang Shu responded as the spokesperson, picking up where Ms. Han left off.
Sages Group’s business mainly focused on various security systems. According to Tang Hexun, the Iris Family in the Fourth District ran a decor company, and with their noble background, they had a keen understanding of high-end decor. Their primary business was catered to luxury ho decor.
Their current visit was an attempt to collaborate to combine "ho decor" with "security systems" and include the installation of security systems as part of the Iris Family’s services after decor.
In plain terms, the Iris Family would provide the decor plans and clientele, while the actual construction of the security systems would require the workforce of the Sages Group.
Given the Iris Family’s position in the high-end decor market of the Fourth District, this collaboration, if successful, could open up new market opportunities in the Fourth District for Sages Group, yielding substantial profits. Hence, the group was quite attentive to this partnership.
The three of them exited the underground garage and entered a corridor.
The entire corridor was sumptuous, leading straight to the elevators, while a branch of it led off in a different direction.
At a conspicuous spot on that path was a sign: Employee Access.
Ms. Han arrived at the elevator and pressed the button, then waited there with Wolf and Jiang Shu.
"Miss Han, that direction is..." Jiang Shu pointed towards the "Employee Passage" and looked over, noticing the pitch-dark corridor.
"Oh, that’s the employee pathway. Here we are on the second underground level of the parking garage, and the third underground level has an underground passage that runs directly from the nearby subway station into our Seges Building. Most of our company’s employees co to work by taking the subway and then going through this underground passage." Miss Han glanced in that direction, finding it sowhat odd that this Tang Jiu would ask such a question unrelated to the tour, but she still answered truthfully without hesitation.
"Oh." Jiang Shu’s expression revealed nothing, but his mind had already begun to ponder.
So the underground passage also leads to the Seges Building?
If he were Gary, he would almost certainly choose this route without fail.
And now that it’s work ti, does that an Gary might have already infiltrated the building?
Just how did he manage to bring in that set of high-tech prosthetic armor?
These doubts surfaced in Jiang Shu’s mind.
"Ding—" The elevator ca to a stop on the second underground level, and the three of them stepped inside.
The elevator swiftly ascended, and upon reaching ground level, the entire interior of the elevator suddenly transford into transparent glass. Since the elevator was situated in the center of this pentagonal cluster of buildings, one could see the entire interior of the Seges Building from inside.
Through those windows, Wolf and Jiang Shu could clearly see the employees diligently working in various offices.
A naless sense of achievent and conquest arose spontaneously.
As superiors, the designers of this building evidently understood quite well this feeling of having the entire structure beneath their feet.
Jiang Shu silently noted this point in his heart.
"Ding—" The elevator stopped at the seventeenth floor, a slight sensation of weightlessness ca over them, but there was no noticeable swaying inside, it remained steadily smooth in its ascent.
"Please follow , the project manager is already waiting for you two in the eting room. Our president is also very interested in this collaboration and will join the discussion after dealing with his current tasks," Miss Han said to Wolf and the others.
President.
Upon hearing this title, Jiang Shu’s heart skipped a beat.
This man was the key figure in their mission.
It was clear that Gary’s objective for entering the Seges Building had to be him.
Though Gary had once said he would take the victim Hughes and the perpetrator president together, it was evident that the president was the key figure.
The task of capturing the president was more difficult; if they could kidnap the president, then taking Hughes after work or during a commotion would be feasible.
So, should they make contact with the president as soon as possible?
From the perspective of the police departnt, this was a natural thought for Jiang Shu.
At this mont, Wolf finally spoke his first words, "For the upcoming eting, I need your president to be present. I’ve co from thousands of miles away in Thirteen District, and we’ve presented the full sincerity of the Iris Family. As such, I don’t want to negotiate with a project manager."
Wolf’s intention was straightforward; he wanted to et the president.
He wasn’t foolish; of course, he knew that the president was key to their mission here. If they let the president continue to be busy, they might not even be present when Gary abducted him.
Then, the whole plan would be pointless.
Moreover, in these words, he also exuded the pride of the old aristocracy.
This attitude was very much in keeping with the air of nobility from the older districts.
Even if the family had fallen on hard tis, the innate pride would still remain deep in their bones.
"This..." Clearly, this was not a decision Miss Han could make, so she hesitated.
"Then just take to your president, that will do. I wouldn’t mind taking a tour around this building as well. Our family also has its assessnt of your group, and this assessnt isn’t just about contract conditions," Wolf continued.
Hearing this, Jiang Shu imdiately realized the implication.
This guy wanted to check the situation near Hughes as well.
Wolf was much smarter than he had anticipated.
