Chapter 67 Action 1
I heard Zhong Wanmei's curse from the embedded headphones. The man with gold-rimmed glasses, known as "Bill", couldn't help but move his head nervously, but without the boss's clear instructions, he didn't dare to move around.
The promotional video has a total of six minutes, which means that during these six minutes, almost all the guests present focused on the big screen in front of them. This period is extremely beneficial for secretly observing the target person.
Zhong Wanmei naturally would not waste these six minutes of opportunity. Her fingers moved on the touchpad and soon looked at the layout and furnishings in the grand banquet hall of Zhonghai Hotel and found that the layout of the scene today was different from usual. I don’t know if it was the organizer who intended to design it like this, to cooperate with today’s ceremony theme, or for other ulterior motives, Zhong Wanmei was a little confused.
Before, she had obtained the internal layout diagram of the Zhonghai Hotel. She thought she was confident about the action tonight, but unexpectedly, it was difficult to avoid the troubles. The venue design of the grand banquet hall became very complicated. Zhong Wanmei estimated the range of the mobile phone and found that once she hit the hall, it would be easy to cause ballistic changes, ejection, and it would be difficult to hit the target.
Moreover, the difficulty of escaping after one shot and escaping after several shots is completely different.
"Bill, keep staring at Petty Ge, don't let him out of your sight."
Zhong Wanmei adjusted the channel of the headphones, temporarily turned off contact with Bill, and then went to find several other subordinates.
Once she was bitten by a snake, she was afraid of the ropes for ten years. She had planned to kill her boss and took the lead by herself. Now Zhong Wanmei has become a superior again, and her fear of gains and losses is even worse, and it is difficult for her to build trust in anyone. Even in her actions tonight, she opened a channel for each subordinate and contacted her on a single line to avoid private collusion between them.
When Bill received the order, he immediately observed Chong Tiange not far away without any slacking off.
At the same time, Jiang Bin kept instructing the police officers at the scene to stay alert and observe.
He was very nervous, not only because Zhong Wanmei's return to China Overseas was very difficult, but also because almost all the guests present were celebrities from China Overseas. Once any accident occurred, even his superiors might not be able to keep his black hat.
However, Jiang Bin has always let the flow of these external things.
Over the years, his position has been here, neither promotion nor downward. Logically speaking, he was a front-line policeman. He was a top student in the words of his predecessors and teachers when he was in the police academy. After work, he followed up with countless major cases. If it were someone who was relatively flexible, he would have climbed higher. However, he was not keen on the favor of politics and even disliked social engagements. Although he was not a self-admiring person, most of the time, Jiang Bin was still very low-key.
If something really happened tonight, Jiang Bin thought that he might have to go back to the police academy to teach the freshmen.
Just as he was thinking, he saw that on one of the screens in front of him, the man wearing glasses raised his hand and seemed to accidentally touch the temples of the glasses. Although it was just a small action, and for the person wearing glasses, this action was very normal.
However, Jiang Bin did not miss this extremely tiny detail. He immediately pulled the camera closer, enlarged the picture, and replayed it again. Sure enough, he saw that the man's fingers pinched a small bulge on the outside of the temples.
"Ha, the equipment is good."
He recognized that this was a new type of surveillance mirror, which facilitates monitoring of short-range targets. The lens itself has various functions such as zooming in, shrinking, freezing, taking photos, screenshots, and online transmission.
However, if Jiang Bin reads it correctly, the glasses are currently unable to use their own private satellite signal transmission due to technical limitations. In other words, they can only use global shared satellites for online connection. In this way, even if Zhong Wanmei is so rich that she has her own satellite network or rents a private satellite, she can't use it and can only give up.
"Xiao Zhao, go and turn off the wireless network in the hotel immediately. Later, let the emcee come on stage to explain, and it was said that there was a temporary problem with the network in the hotel and the staff are repairing it, so it will be fine soon."
Jiang Bin quickly issued an order and someone immediately went to do it.
Sure enough, a minute later, a small commotion came from the banquet hall.
It turned out that although Guan Baobao Studio was playing a promotional video on the big screen at this moment, four out of five of the guests present were secretly playing with their mobile phones, especially female guests, who were either beautifying the photos they just took or interacting with people on Weibo and WeChat.
Anyway, everyone is actually scattering.
As soon as the wireless signal in the hotel is disconnected, many people will be disconnected without turning on the mobile phone data transmission.
Jiang Bin ignored these women, but kept staring at the man with glasses on the screen.
He guessed correctly. Just as the others were making a commotion, the expression on the man with glasses suddenly changed. Soon, he looked around and looked a little panicked.
Because, he found that the network transmission on the glasses lenses was suddenly interrupted.
After all, glasses are not mobile phones. Mobile phones do not have wireless networks and can also use traffic transmission.
He was a little nervous, coughed low as a cover-up, reached out and touched his ear, trying to contact Zhong Wanmei with his headphones.
It was this series of small actions that determined that his identity was suspicious.
Jiang Bin had once again ordered a plainclothes policeman sitting behind the man with glasses to approach him carefully and not arouse suspicion from the people around him. Because they don’t know how many Zhong Wanmei’s people were in the scene, and they must not be alerted.
Seeing the abnormality of the guests around, Rong Tian immediately looked around nervously.
"Don't be afraid, there will be no trouble."
Chong Tiange comforted her quietly, with a calm look on his face.
He believed in Jiang Bin. Of course, under this situation, he could only believe in Jiang Bin and must believe in Jiang Bin. Because, for the two of them, a slightest suspicion may cause unnecessary casualties between them.
"Why do you look a little panicked..."
Rong Tian was not in the mood to play with her mobile phone, so she didn't know the situation at all.
As soon as she finished speaking, the promotional video came to an end on the screen and was played.
The applause sounded, and the lights around slowly became brighter again.
After everyone's applause ended, the emcee came on stage and explained to the guests that the network inside the hotel had temporarily malfunctioned and would soon return to normal.
Next, Guan Baobao’s speech.
She carried the long drag of her evening dress with a little nervousness and walked onto the stage. After standing still, she took a deep breath and looked at everyone below the stage.
Guan Baobao saw that Chong Tiange and Rong Tian, who were sitting at the main table, were smiling at him. Although she could not see Jiang Bin now, she knew that he must be looking at him at somewhere, focusing on him.
Thinking of this, Guan Baobao calmed down suddenly. She smiled and began to speak. First, thank everyone for coming, and then reviewed the establishment of her personal studio. Among them, she was particularly grateful to her investor Tong Tiange. At the end, Guan Baobao also expressed that she had confidence and led the studio together to create a new world.
After her speech, she cut the ribbon.
The emcee invited Chong Tiange and others to the stage. The slim etiquette lady went to the stage with a tray. Everyone held scissors and cut the red silk in their hands together to get a good lottery.
There were applause from the audience and the atmosphere was very warm.
At this point, the content of tonight has almost been completed.
A small cocktail party will be held here later, but considering that some guests may leave first, the organizer did not mandate that every guest must stay.
It was just 8:30, and it was still early, and most guests chose to stay, reminisce about the past, chat, and contact each other.
After all, most of the guests invited here today have extraordinary identities. Because of this, after the ribbon cutting, there were not many guests who took the lead. There were about 80 guests left in the banquet hall, and the scene was still lively.
Take a glass of champagne from a tray in a waiter's hand, Bill hurried to a corner. The pair of glasses on his nose were almost useless at the moment, so he had to choose to contact Zhong Wanmei with his headphones.
A moment later, Zhong Wanmei's angry voice came: "Why did the signal suddenly interrupt?"
Bill had to pretend to taste the champagne and replied in a low voice: "All the wireless signals in the hotel have disappeared, and I can't do anything. Later, I will go to meet with Robert and I will see him."
Robert is his companion, but unlike Bill, who dressed up as an insider, Robert was involved in a band that was entertaining the live performance. He sat behind the drum set, pretending to be playing the drum, but was actually observing the surroundings secretly.
"Okay, you guys act as planned."
Zhong Wanmei didn't talk nonsense and cut off the call again.
Bill put down the champagne in his hand and was about to find a place to put down the wine glass. Unexpectedly, a young man with a smile on his face strode towards him, shouting, "Old classmate, I actually saw you here!"
His tone was exaggerated and enthusiastic, and almost immediately attracted the attention of people around him. Several pairs of eyes looked here at the same time.
Bill looked around and confirmed that the person the man called was himself.
He concluded that he didn't know this man at all, but there were so many people watching him. In order not to make people suspicious, Bill had to respond awkwardly: "Ah... it's you... you actually met here..."
The man came over, shook his hand, and patted Bill on the shoulder with one hand intimately, saying, "Let's go, find a place to have a drink!"
Chapter completed!
