Chapter 307: Chapter 171: Every Step Fraught with Danger

Would Thomas ever ask Kenneth Osborne for something that he wouldn’t give?

Or does Thomas not believe he would hand over everything he asked for?

That’s a bit much.

Joyce Shaw felt that working with such a person was truly exhausting.

She thought for a while, then went straight to the computer lab, randomly picking a machine.

This was also a place she frequently stayed, so no one would find it odd.

Even if Thomas walked in now and saw her in the computer lab, he wouldn’t suspect the real reason behind it at all.

Without a trace, Joyce started working on one of the computers in the lab while quietly activating her search program.

Soon enough, she locked onto a computer in the lab that Thomas had used on Sunday to remotely monitor her office computer.

It didn’t look particularly special.

Joyce accessed the lab’s internal network and directly logged into that computer.

That computer wasn’t in use by anyone, its hard drive and memory were both quite empty.

Checking the logs, Joyce found traces of Thomas’s activities.

More importantly, she discovered numerous hacking and surveillance programs!

There was also a hidden camera in this computer lab!

Joyce knew about the visible cameras, but not about the hidden one.

She quickly searched that computer, found the program controlling the hidden camera, and swiftly downloaded all the contents from the hidden camera to her cloud account.

Curiously, she opened the hacker program and discovered it to be incredibly powerful.

Not only were all the computers in the computer lab under its surveillance, but even hers, and Thomas’s personal computer were too.

With this program open, their phones, Thomas’s computer, and even some computers at their head office were like rooms with keys in her hands.

All she had to do was push the door and see what was inside those computers.

Joyce’s heart raced, and she immediately backed out.

Sensitive information like this was not something she should know.

She carefully erased the login traces from Thomas’s ”dedicated” hacker computer, then thought for a moment, before nonchalantly standing up and returning to her office.

In her office, Joyce closed the door, connected her phone to her cloud account, and began to play the footage from the hidden camera.

Most cameras don’t record audio, so Joyce was startled when sound started playing from her phone.

This hidden camera was quite advanced, capable of synchronous audio recording.

She quickly put on her headphones to both watch the video and listen to the sound.

The hidden camera was aimed right at Thomas’s position.

Joyce saw Thomas surfing the internet for a while, checking Joyce’s computer, before picking up his phone and starting a call with someone.

She couldn’t hear the other person’s voice or know whom he was calling, only Thomas’s voice was audible.

She heard Thomas say, ”Carrie, don’t worry, this time I got the data from an insider, absolutely authentic.”

”...You want to know who the insider is? Carrie, that’s impossible, it’s not within our contract scope, I can’t provide you with a list.”

”But rest assured, these are the most original first-hand materials, enough to help you achieve your goal.”

Thomas said these few lines and then hung up.

After that, there was no further action.

He checked Joyce’s computer and then left the lab.

Joyce watched, completely baffled.

It didn’t seem anything special.

She pondered for a moment, realizing that her program had finally finished running, and all the images were restored.

Using her own indexing program, she arranged the massive video data chronologically and logically to view the complete picture of these videos.

Joyce was also quite excited.

This was the first large project she completed independently, though arduous, she learned a great deal.

The computer host hummed loudly, evidently utilizing all its CPU power.

Three hours later, the videos were fully sorted chronologically and logically.

They could now be played like a movie.

Joyce beamed with eyes curved, viewing them from a robotic perspective.

As she continued to watch, the smile on her face vanished, her complexion paling, heart racing, she was nearly dumbstruck.

What did she see?

The first thing that appeared on the computer screen was a sign with the five big characters ”Optimal Studio” and two smaller ones ”Secret”.

This name... seemed somewhat familiar.

Then she saw an extremely sophisticated and spacious dust-free studio.

The large instruments filled all four walls of the room, with countless red and green lights flashing, and several large screens displaying real-time scenes from various regions.

In the middle of the studio, seven or eight robots, round-headed like barrels, moved back and forth.

It was apparent that each of their steps was meticulously planned, controlled by artificial intelligence.

The walls of this studio bore numerous precautionary notices, and the space here was nearly a vacuum, not allowing any static electricity.

Even the slightest static spark from a speck of dust could trigger an immeasurable disaster!

Where was this?!

This wasn’t the small company Thomas mentioned they were acquiring!

This was the internal studio of the State Grid!

Kenneth Osborne had once told her about the numerous studios the State Grid had, resembling operating workshops, where AI-controlled robots carried out all necessary operations.

Due to the high risk and strict operational requirements of these studios, they stopped using human staff to minimize errors, and instead these robots were used.

Thomas had clearly said the original data was just from that small company’s robotic vision system, but what robotics company could penetrate into the State Grid’s secret studio?!
