"Qin Lang, you should go rest for a couple of days first. We'll deal with other matters after you recover from your injuries." Outside the school infirmary, Tao Ruoxiang said to Qin Lang.
"What, Teacher Tao, are you planning to act alone without me?" Qin Lang seemed to have read Tao Ruoxiang's thoughts. "Teacher Tao, my injuries are nothing serious! Besides, a minor injury doesn't stop a soldier from fighting. This is a critical moment, I can't let you act alone. If anything happens to you, I would truly regret it!"
Tao Ruoxiang didn't expect Qin Lang to see through her thoughts and explained, "Don't worry, I'll protect myself!"
"I'm not at all reassured!" Qin Lang shook his head. "You won't be able to act alone without me!"
"But you're injured!" Tao Ruoxiang said. "Moreover, if we don't investigate this matter quickly, once the other party transfers all the evidence, we'll really be out of options."
"I am injured, but I've almost recovered," Qin Lang said, rolling up his left sleeve and extending his arm to Tao Ruoxiang. "If you're not reassured, take a look at the wound from earlier."
Tao Ruoxiang was skeptical and carefully unwrapped a section of the bandage. The sight before her was incredible: Qin Lang's wound had stopped bleeding, and there were clear signs of healing!
"This... how can your wound heal so quickly!" Tao Ruoxiang exclaimed. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Qin Lang's wound could recover so quickly.
"Aunt Tao, did you forget? I'm a very skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner!" Qin Lang smiled. "Speaking of which, didn't the boil that troubled you heal very quickly back then?"
"Don't mention that!" Tao Ruoxiang scolded, a hint of embarrassment on her face. This matter indeed made her feel a bit awkward.
Qin Lang knew when to stop, to avoid overdoing it and angering Tao Ruoxiang. He then got to the point: "Aunt Tao, since my wound is fine, shall we investigate together?"
"Sure, let's continue the investigation!" Tao Ruoxiang thought for a moment. "First, let's borrow a car from your hooligan friends."
"But I don't have a driver's license."
"I'll drive!" Tao Ruoxiang seemed to have a plan. "By the way, I need to go back to the dormitory first."
Being a high-achieving graduate in criminal investigation, Qin Lang believed Tao Ruoxiang would definitely have a way to follow the trail and gather evidence against Andesheng. This was one of the reasons Qin Lang invited Tao Ruoxiang to investigate together. Under the guidance of the old poison expert, Qin Lang's mind was certainly sharp enough to deal with scheming, but when it came to investigating and deducing the case, Tao Ruoxiang was clearly more professional and rigorous.
After returning to the dormitory, Tao Ruoxiang took out a black leather suitcase from under her bed and left with Qin Lang.
When Qin Lang and Tao Ruoxiang arrived at the school gate, Ma Wei quickly provided Qin Lang with a black Santana and whispered, "Brother Qin, this car is a cloned license plate, don't use it for too long. Also, I heard you were injured, are you okay?"
"It's just a minor injury," Qin Lang nodded, taking the keys from Ma Wei.
"Where are we going?" Qin Lang asked Tao Ruoxiang after getting in the car.
"Right to the tiger's den!" Tao Ruoxiang said decisively.
Twenty minutes later, the car Qin Lang and Tao Ruoxiang were in had already entered the ring road of Sanjiang Green Island.
Even during the day, Sanjiang Green Island was bustling with people and traffic. However, Qin Lang thought it might not be the best time to investigate the Pure Beauty Bay Club, as few people would choose to visit such a place during the day.
Hearing Qin Lang's concerns, Tao Ruoxiang smiled confidently, "Your guess is right, indeed few people visit such places during the day. But during the day, their defenses are the most relaxed. By night, they definitely have their eyes and ears around. Otherwise, the Pure Beauty Bay Club wouldn't have remained unscathed."
"Brilliant!" Qin Lang couldn't help but glance at Tao Ruoxiang's ample chest, making him think that not only did eating papaya milk help with breast enhancement, but wisdom could also do the same.
"But—how do we infiltrate during the day?" Qin Lang quickly had another doubt. If it were at night, he would have been confident in sneaking in to gather evidence, but during the day, he wasn't so sure.
"Who said we need to infiltrate?" Tao Ruoxiang smiled. "Your Aunt Tao didn't study for four years for nothing."
At this point, Tao Ruoxiang parked the car under a large tree behind the Pure Beauty Bay Club, rolled up the windows, and climbed to the back seat, opening the black leather suitcase she had taken from under her bed.
"Aunt Tao, what is this—some kind of super weapon?" Qin Lang joked.
"Don't say that, but this thing is indeed a super weapon, but a super weapon for decryption. With this, we can 'infiltrate' the Pure Beauty Bay's network system from here and obtain the evidence we need!" Tao Ruoxiang opened the suitcase, which indeed contained a laptop and some auxiliary communication tools.
"Teacher Tao, are you going to hack into the Pure Beauty Bay's network system?" Qin Lang roughly guessed Tao Ruoxiang's plan. He suddenly remembered that he had mentioned to Tao Ruoxiang that in the Pure Beauty Bay Club's private rooms, the waiters gave guests a tablet to "order." This meant that the Pure Beauty Bay had set up a Wi-Fi network, and by connecting to their Wi-Fi, one could gradually find the various data stored on their computers.
Of course, this was just a guess. Even if he knew the principle, he couldn't do it.
"Did you figure it out?" Tao Ruoxiang chuckled, starting the computer and entering a strange system.
To Qin Lang, it was a strange system, as he had never seen it before. He could only marvel, "I never thought Teacher Tao was also a computer expert."
"Of course," Tao Ruoxiang said with a hint of pride. "In the hacker circle at South China United University, I was quite well-known. But a hero doesn't talk about past glories—do you remember the last time you used the computer in the biology specimen lab, and I easily knew what information you had searched for?"
Qin Lang suddenly understood, realizing that Tao Ruoxiang was indeed a computer expert. No wonder the information he had searched for in the biology specimen lab a few days ago was known to Tao Ruoxiang.
After entering the system, Tao Ruoxiang started working, taking out a small device that looked like a speaker and connecting one end to the computer: "This is a signal gain antenna, which can amplify the wireless network signal of the Pure Beauty Bay."
"No wonder... I thought this place was so far away that my phone didn't even show any Wi-Fi signal," Qin Lang nodded.
"Exactly, found it!" Tao Ruoxiang smiled, then pressed a button, "Starting to capture data packets... success! Starting to crack with a hash table..."
Qin Lang watched Tao Ruoxiang work, feeling helpless as he couldn't assist in any way.
At this moment, Qin Lang felt the distance between him and Tao Ruoxiang growing, as sometimes wisdom could also become a barrier in their relationship.
However, after a short while, Tao Ruoxiang's expression turned serious, and she heavily pressed a key: "No, the Wi-Fi password is too long! Someone must have upgraded their network security—son of a bitch!"
