The tightly closed door opened, and He Ao walked into the house carrying his sleeping granddaughter.
The moment he entered the living room, a pop-up appeared on He Ao's wristband.
This was the wristband connecting to the home's security system.
Cito had purchased the security system for the house back when he was the deputy director.
Nearly twenty years had passed since this system was first installed.
Most parts of the system were outdated and damaged, patched up haphazardly with second-hand parts Cito had scavenged from the market.
"Eve, take over the security system of this house," He Ao instructed as he hooked the door with his foot and gently closed it.
"Okay, connecting," Eve's voice sounded in He Ao's ear, "Connection successful."
Immediately after, the screeching sound of the door locking echoed behind He Ao, "Alert mode activated; doors and windows are all closed; all sensor devices are functioning well; no signs of damage or intrusion detected."
