They went back to their meeting spot and in no time there were movement from the money. From the transmitter they had heard the CEO make a phone call to the designer and asked him to come and see him.
They waited till the two finished their discussion and then the designer left the office and left the building, unfortunately for him CEO Du had given him part of the money so they could trace the man where ever he was going.
They trailed him to his house and in no time they surrounded him.
"who are you? what do you want?" the man asked frightenly when he saw a group of people walk into his study room,
"Designer Wen you have an information that we need" a ladylike voice emitted from one of the group.
" me? that's not possible, I don't know any information, I'm just a mere arms designer, please you got the wrong perso_" before he could finish his words, he was jacked up from his chair and slammed on the wooden work table in the room.
"shhhh" he hissed in pain
unfortunately for him a copy of the faked blueprint machine was lying vacantly on the table, Lu yao yin picked it up and waved it in from of the man's eyes "this, designer where did you get it from?"
"I drew it" the man answered
"I know you drew it but where did you get the idea from, you must have seen the blueprint right?" she asked languidly.
the man shook his head " I didn't see any blueprint, I don't know any blueprint, I drew it from_" his remaining words were swallowed into his mouth when a bullet flew past his cheek leaving a thin cut behind.
"try lying once more then the injury would be more than a scratch" Her Cold voice rang into his ear.
fear gripped the man to his core that he immediately began spewing out everything he knew "it's true I saw a piece of a blueprint, it was shown to me by Fredrick Boyle, he said the blueprint was a family inheritance, my job was just to replicate it and complete it, after which I was to sell the manufactured guns and remit 40% of the profit to him, I swear I didn't know where it was from"
" where can I find this Fredrick?"
"he's the nephew to General Boyle, you can find him in the General's house"
using the nuzzle of the gun she patted the man's cheek gently, "good boy, you should been like this from the beginning"
" please don't hurt me, I have told you everything I know, please don't kill me" the man begged.
" definitely I won't kill you but, if by any chance I hear you told someone about tonight, I'll be back to say hello"
before the man could even say yes, the people were gone the way they came. like a puff of smoke.
When they got back to their meeting point, they quickly ran a check on the guy Fredrick Boyle. The found out truly that he was the nephew to General Boyle, actually he was an illegitimate child of Boyle's late brother but the family didn't ostracize him because of that. The young man was extravagant, unruly, unscrupulous and always found himself in trouble, it was either money problems or women problem, few months ago he had owed a large sum of money to a group of loan shark and they had threatened to cause problems for him and his uncle, it seems the young man had gone to ask help from his uncle but the General had vehemently refused and left the boy to his fate.
Then all of a sudden the Loan sharks redrew their statement as said he wasn't the one they were looking for. He might have given them their money and also requested that they keep their mouth shut. But where did he get the money? if not from selling the picture of the blueprint to Designer Wen.
Coincidentally General Boyle was throwing his retirement party this night and it was a perfect opportunity for Lu yao yin and her group to blend in and steal the blueprint from his safe keep.
Unfortunately for General Boyle he had chosen to throw the party at his house cause he wanted to put all of his awards he had received during his military service on display this night, if only he knew he would lose his most valid keep sake tonight he would have thrown the party somewhere else.
The night came and the party began, the gigantic Boyle's residence was filled with dignitaries and socialist, fifty percent of the guest were military men like the General so the area was crawling with armed people, one wrong move and you are a goner.
Even with the tight security, the notorious Kun feng still attended with her group, they blended well into the crowd it was hard to notice anything odd about them.
"this should be a clean op, no mistake got it?" Lu yao yin whispered into her comms distributed by the IT geek Guan Lin.
"yes boss" the others chorused silently Then each moved to their positions.
"let toast to 30 years of military service and to healthy retirement years" Fredrick Boyle took a toast for his uncle and everyone else complied, his old uncle to was handed a glass of wine by a waiter, this was part of their plan, in fact Lu yao yin was the one that indirectly suggested it to Fredrick Boyle.
The glass handed to the General had a scanning function that scanned his palm print, from their Intel the door that leads to where the blueprints where kept needed the old man's fingerprints to open.
After collecting his fingerprints, Lu yao yin seductively made Fredrick lead her into the upper rooms, there were soldiers at the entrance of the stairs and also on the staircase so it was better if she used Fredrick as a shield instead of causing unnecessary commotion by trying to fight her way through.
When she got into Fredrick's room she knocked him out and used her phone to play sexual sounds so that the soldier at the door would think the people inside were having a nice time, then from his window she climbed out and stealthily found her way to the General study room.
Using the window again she climbed into the office, the switch to the secret door was right under his table, she had to punch in a certain code before the door could open. She didn't need to think crack it or anything cause she had already gotten the code from Fredrick.
/Flashback begin/
"you're uncle doesn't look like a secretive man" she said immediately they walked into Fredrick's room.
"you think so?" he scoffed
"yes" she smiled mischievously "say let's assume your uncle has a secret room in this mansion what do you think the password would be?" her smile look so enchanting that he had blurted out the truth.
"19267 it's his wife birthday"
her smile grew bigger "see you know his password so it means he really isn't secretive"
he replied her while puffing his shoulders proudly "who told you? my uncle is very secretive, it's only because I'm smart that I was able to find out"
"oh really?" she wrapped her hand round his shoulder, using the opportunity to prick him with the needle soaked in sleeping drugs
"mmhmm" he nodded and in the next second slumped on the bed.
/Flashback ends/
The secret door opened and a small room came into light, she first used an infrared pen to cross check if there were lasers in the room and when she confirmed there was none she then walked in.
She walked to a little safe on the door, the blueprint was in the safe and this was where General Boyle's fingerprints came in handy.
Lu yao yin brought out from a small black packet from her cleavage, from the back it looked like a makeup kit but after she opened it, it turned out to be a fingerprints printer. She picked up the skin like rubber glove which General Boyle's fingerprints had been printed on then carefully wore it making sure she didn't touch and essentially part.
After wearing it she placed her palm on the fingerprint scanner of the safe. The safe took some minutes reading the five fingers then finally opened with a clank sound.
It wasn't there!
The blueprint wasn't in the safe!
