In the end, Bai Ge was discharged. As long as he insisted on his decision, the hospital could not force him.
He felt good, as if he was not sick at all.
It was this state that made him feel that he could live for a long time. He wanted to take advantage of this good condition to earn as much money as possible.
In the past, it would have been impossible for him to earn a million yuan in a short time.
But now, after knowing that he had a terminal illness, his mind was clear and he had nothing to worry about.
Bai Ge loved his sister very much. If he were to die, he had to prepare a sum of money for his sister before he died.
For this, he could … lower his bottom line …
"President Chen, about the job you mentioned last time …" Bai Ge walked on the street and made a phone call.
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Little Bai? Didn't you reject me? "
"Yes, I've thought about it. I can take it," Bai Ge said.
"Okay, I'll transfer you 10,000 yuan now. It's the same as last time. Go to Tong Wen Street to get the equipment. Someone will take care of you." After President Chen finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Bai Ge put away his phone and touched the golden rooster pendant around his neck. Without hesitation, he rushed to Tong Wen Street.
On the way, he received a text reminder that there was an extra 10,000 yuan in his account.
He knew that he had already taken that step. Since he had received the money, he had to do it well.
Even if it was not so legal.
Bai Ge's job was, to put it nicely, a private investigator. To put it bluntly, it was a job for money.
President Chen had spent 20,000 yuan, 10,000 of which was a deposit, to plant a miniature camera and eavesdropping device in a wealthy businessman's shop. At the same time, he had to … retrieve a document. This was not so legal, but it was a quick job.
In the past, he was law-abiding, but now … he needed money!
In the past, he had only taken on some small jobs, such as stalking a wife, catching adulterers, or taking photos. Or finding a hidden person for a client, or providing some information to his employer …
The best job was, of course, to cooperate with the police and help them find criminals who had absconded. He could earn a sum of money.
But this kind of thing was hard to come by. There weren't that many major cases in small cities. Even if there were, it was an impulsive crime. The police could settle it easily. There weren't many premeditated criminals who needed help from someone other than the police.
Therefore, Bai Ge would even help people fight when there was really no work to be done. He could earn some hard-earned money.
Gradually, he went from being a private detective to being the House of Everything. He had long since stopped doing his job.
Some high school students had offered him a few hundred yuan to scare people, and he had even accepted it …
However, there were many things that Bai Ge was unwilling to do. His father was a criminal police captain, and Bai Ge himself had also studied at a police academy. Although he had dropped out of school and did not become a police officer, he tried his best not to commit crimes. At most, he would break the law a little.
Ever since his father died in the line of duty, he relied on the pension and the rent from the family's property. He also dropped out of school to earn money so that he could continue to support his sister abroad.
However, after a month of hard work, the most he could earn was twenty thousand yuan. Sometimes, it was less than ten thousand yuan. His own living expenses were not a problem, but his sister's school fees and living expenses were a problem.
Being a private detective was not a very profitable profession at all.
However, he had no other choice. He majored in criminal investigation and had the ability to catch criminals. If he could not become a police officer, what else could he do?
Fortunately, he did not have any competitors in this line of work in a third-tier city. Otherwise, he would earn even less.
Now that there was such a big black screen in his mind, Bai Ge looked calm on the surface, but in reality, he was very anxious. He desperately wanted to earn some quick money.
Breaking into private houses and secretly installing surveillance equipment were only illegal. However, taking away an important business document was a crime.
To be specific, it would be judged based on the business losses caused by his actions. If the losses were large, he would be sentenced.
Bai Ge had long been aware of this.
It was because the remuneration for this job was equivalent to his income for the past month!
He did not have that much time to slowly earn money.
…
Tongwen Street was a grocery street in Xiangfan City. There were many sundries here, and pinhole cameras were also available.
In an electronic product store, Bai Ge took a bag of equipment and left.
This store was also opened by President Chen's friend. Everything that he needed was prepared for him, and he would leave the rest to him.
Bai Ge first bought two pieces of braised pork shoulder by the roadside, then took a taxi directly to the city's Huangjia Garden.
The housing here was expensive, and the security was complete. The people who lived here were either rich or respectable. Outsiders like Bai Ge usually could not enter.
However, President Chen also lived here!
President Chen had already informed the security, so Bai Ge went in after registering.
On the surface, Bai Ge was going to look for President Chen, but in reality, when he walked past a security camera, he suddenly made a sharp turn and stepped on a flower bed. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he went straight to another villa.
He knew the range of the camera's field of view. Looking at the model and the height of the display, he knew where to go so that he could not be captured.
After being a private detective for more than half a year, it was not the first time he had come to a place like Huangjia Garden. He was very clear about the loopholes in the security cameras in the entire community.
In addition, he was also very clear about the various situations of the mission target. Although he did not intend to accept this mission at first, it did not mean that he did not investigate the target.
Sometimes, he had to take the initiative to look for work. If he secretly investigated something, he might be able to recommend himself to these rich businessmen and take the initiative to turn them into clients.
That was how President Chen was developed into a client by Bai Ge. They could be considered old employers, and they knew each other very well. It was also because of this that President Chen dared to ask Bai Ge to do this kind of thing.
At this moment, Bai Ge easily passed through the surveillance blind spots that ordinary people could not detect and arrived at the wall of a villa.
He could not go through the front door. After all, there were electronic cameras at the door.
He turned on his phone to silent mode and checked the time. It was 5: 20 pm.
"If Hu Hanlong is not at home, he usually comes back after 10 pm, and his wife usually comes home at 6 pm. I still have 40 minutes."
Bai Ge looked around, then suddenly jumped and flipped over the wall in a few moves.
The wall of the villa was just for show. Ordinary people could easily flip over it, but Bai Ge's movements were even more straightforward. There were no footprints on the wall.
He had already put on his gloves. As soon as he entered the courtyard of the villa, he looked at a kennel.
Next to the garage, there was a large kennel with a dark dog lying in it.
Its strong body, half the height of a man, suddenly jumped up. When it heard Bai Ge's intrusion, it immediately rushed over.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
There was a wild barking sound. The dog was extremely fierce. It looked like a Tibetan mastiff. Although it was not a purebred, it did not hesitate to pounce. An ordinary person would have been scared to death.
Bai Ge had already expected this. He calmly took out the braised pork shoulder that he had bought earlier and threw it over.
After all, it was domesticated. Hu Hanlong, a rich businessman, did not deliberately train the dog to be wild. When Bai Ge threw the meat, the dog stopped barking. It sniffed the pork shoulder, picked it up, and drilled into the kennel with saliva dripping from its mouth.
"Haha."
Bai Ge did not care about the dog. He bypassed the front surveillance camera and climbed up to the second-floor window from the side.
The windows of the entire villa were basically open, so there was no need to sneak in and pick the lock.
Bai Ge's timing was perfect. He avoided the sight of a group of patrolling security guards and entered the villa.
In this high-end residential area, coupled with the fact that there was a dog in the courtyard, the residents would not be meticulously vigilant. What's more, there were actually people in the house.
The weather was excellent today, so it was common to open the windows for ventilation. Bai Ge did not have to show much of his skills before he went straight in.
He looked at the living room. A servant was watching TV and lying on the sofa like the master of the house.
Bai Ge smiled and did not disturb her.
Just now, when the dog was barking outside, the servant did not even look at it. Obviously, she was not a responsible person.
Next, he was familiar with the installation of equipment. He secretly installed cameras in all the bedrooms, plus the study, and even the bathroom.
In less than 20 minutes, he finished installing a total of 40 cameras and 12 eavesdropping devices in the villa.
It was extremely secretive. Bai Ge believed that as long as he did not do a thorough cleaning, the average person would not be able to discover it.
During the whole process, Bai Ge did not make a sound. The servant in the living room on the first floor did not notice that a stranger was walking around the house and installing cameras everywhere.
Even the sofa where she was lying was silently hidden by a bug.
"The documents should be in the safe in the study."
Bai Ge rummaged in the study and found a safe. It required the password and the key to be matched at the same time.
However, Bai Ge did not have to go through so much trouble. He directly took the safe out of the corner of the table. He did not want to break it open by force. This was not an ordinary safe. It was unrealistic to break it open.
He took out a box from his satchel. Inside was the thermite that he had asked the shop owner on Tongwen Street to prepare.
Thermite could reach a high temperature of about 3,000 degrees in an instant. The back of the safe was just a cold-rolled steel plate. In front of the thermite, it was no different from paper. It would directly melt into molten iron.
Bai Ge had done many experiments. He knew exactly how much was needed to melt the safe without burning through the steel plate and destroying the contents inside.
He put a very small amount of thermite on the back of the safe, then spread cotton to place an oxidizing agent. Finally, he pushed the magnesium bar up. With a crisp sound, molten iron suddenly appeared on the steel plate. Sparks flew everywhere. The intense reaction made the visual effect extremely strong.
Bai Ge had already taken precautions. He was unscathed.
When the reaction was over, the steel plate did not melt because the dosage was too small. However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Ge took out a chisel and stabbed it hard. The back of the safe was pierced, revealing a small hole.
Bai Ge tried to expand the hole as much as possible. When he looked inside, he was stunned.
"So much money …"
Bai Ge smiled bitterly. His initial estimate was that there was at least 300,000 yuan in this safe alone.
However, he calmed himself down and focused his attention on a piece of paper wrapped in a plastic bag.
Today, even if he wanted money so much, his bottom line was still to 'earn', not steal.
Although it was theft if he took the agreement now, he could still convince himself that this was a 'mission' and that he was being paid to do it.
"If I wanted to take this money, I would just be a thief. Why would I be hired …" Bai Ge thought to himself. However, he also knew that there was no difference in the law. It was just his hypocritical self-comfort.
With a solemn expression, he rolled up the agreement with a bamboo stick and took it out of the back hole.
When he saw the contents of the agreement, Bai Ge broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew that this was an escrow agreement, but he didn't know that it was worth so much.
"40% of the shares of the Shanhe Group is worth at least tens of millions. He just left it at home?" Bai Ge didn't quite understand the meaning of the escrow agreement, but according to the criminal law, if he was caught causing such a huge loss to others, he would be sentenced to seven years in prison.
It seemed that it was quite stupid to steal something worth tens of millions and give it to others for 20,000 yuan, risking going to prison.
However, Bai Ge knew that he couldn't be greedy for this thing. That would be courting death. He wouldn't do that either. That would be an insult to his profession.
"Ha … I'm going to die anyway …"
"However, I have to save enough money for my sister's safety."
