After Huo Yao entered the exhibition hall, she strolled around leisurely. Of course, due to the exhibition hall's rules, all the treasures were placed on special counters and sealed with special glass covers. Visitors could only stand one meter away from the display.
The exhibition hall had two floors. The first floor displayed famous antiques from the Qin dynasty to the late Qing dynasty. They were priceless.
Huo Yao walked around the first floor but did not find anything she wanted to see, so she headed up to the second floor.
The items on display on the second floor were even more valuable. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as world-class treasures. Since they were more valuable, the surveillance on the second floor was tighter than the first floor.
Huo Yao stood at the top of the stairs and pretended to pull the brim of her cap casually. Then she walked to the corner on her left and pulled out an ordinary pair of transparent glasses from her pocket.
In an instant, the treasures were surrounded by dense infrared lights. Touching them would set off an alarm, and some of them could even kill a person.
Hence, the special passageway one meter away from the display was the safest place.
Huo Yao pursed her lips and casually pulled the brim of her cap a little. She raised her eyes slightly and scanned the entire exhibition hall on the second floor. However, a minute later, she took off her glasses and put them away.
At the very center of the exhibition hall, in the glass display cabinet that was covered with the most cutting-edge technology, a piece of jade with dragon and phoenix inscriptions was quietly displayed inside. The lights of the exhibition hall shone on it, perfectly displaying the entire piece of jade.
The white jade wall was crystal clear and almost flawless. The lifelike carvings reflected the craftsmanship of that era. Huo Yao's eyes lit up and she clicked her tongue in wonder.
It was indeed a jade wall from the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was beautiful.
Apart from Huo Yao, there was another group of people looking at the jade wall on the second floor. Two foreigners were among them. They stood there with their arms crossed and chatted while looking at the jade wall.
They were speaking in English.
Yang Yi came out of the surveillance room backstage and entered the exhibition hall on the first floor. His sharp eyes scanned the visitors and did not notice anything unusual. Then he slowly walked up to the second floor.
His shiny leather shoes made no sound on the stairs. He was dressed in a black suit and exuded an unconcealable murderous aura. Before long, he reached the last step and stood still at the top of the stairs on the second floor.
Yang Yi's subordinate reported through his earpiece that there was nothing unusual going on. His eyes swept over the jade wall in the middle of the exhibition hall before he turned to look at the people admiring the jade wall.
Huo Yao raised her hand to look at the watch on her wrist. Then she put it down and prepared to go to the bathroom.
However, she had only taken two steps when she clearly felt a sharp gaze sweeping over, and there was a voice from downstairs saying that they needed to verify the entry card.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and continued walking as though nothing had happened. The man glanced at her before looking away. She pursed her lips.
However, before she could reach the passage leading to the bathroom, the lights in the hall, which were as bright as day, suddenly went out. She could see nothing but darkness in front of her.
At this time, there were panicked screams coming from the exhibition hall, rising and falling one after another. It was a mess in an instant.
Huo Yao's lips curved into a smile in the dark. She did not move from her spot. Instead, she took out her night vision goggles and put them on. After the darkness cleared, her eyes landed precisely on the counter in the middle of the room where the Western Zhou jade was kept.
