Urban Martial Saint

This cold and glamorous woman was none other than Mu Qingrong, the general manager and owner of the small company Ye Qing had bravely applied to work for today.

Seeing Ye Qing, Mu Qingrong was also taken aback. At today’s job fair, her company had only one applicant, and that was the unprepared Ye Qing.

Mu Qingrong had a poor impression of Ye Qing. For starters, the fact that Ye Qing had applied for the job so hastily made her feel that he was not serious about things. Furthermore, with regards to Ye Qing’s educational background, she believed a salesperson should learn to boast, but there should be a limit to it.

Overdoing it was not good, and Mu Qingrong felt that Ye Qing had exaggerated by claiming he was a graduate of Northern University!

Mu Qingrong never expected the man she had such a poor impression of to suddenly appear in her own home.

Ye Qing was even more surprised. The general manager and owner lived here? What kind of boss was this, without their own house?

”You know Ms. Mu?” Fang Tingyun asked curiously.

Ye replied, ”I’ve met her once.”

Fang Tingyun looked at Mu Qingrong, who simply nodded indifferently before turning to the other women and asking, ”What were you discussing just now? What happened?”

”Big boss, you’ve come back at just the right time!” Huo Pingping walked over and said, ”We’re being spied on. Hurry up and open the door, let this Soldier Brother check if there are cameras installed in your room!”

”Install what?” Mu Qingrong questioned, suspecting she had heard wrong.

”Cameras, spy cameras!” Huo Pingping held up the camera she had and said, ”The kind that can capture the whole process of you changing clothes!”

The faces of the other three women turned red, while Mu Qingrong’s brows furrowed slightly as she asked, ”How could there be such things?”

”Who knows, stop wasting time and hurry up to open the door and take a look,” commanded Huo Pingping.

Mu Qingrong didn’t move to open the door but instead asked, ”How do you know about these devices?”

Huo Pingping replied, ”This Soldier Brother found them. If it weren’t for him uncovering these cameras, we’d probably still be in the dark!”

Mu Qingrong looked at Ye Qing with a hint of suspicion in her eyes. Her poor impression of him caused her to distrust the things he did.

”You can find spy cameras?” Mu Qingrong asked in a grave tone, ”Such tiny things, unless the person who installed them comes to search, who could find them so easily?”

”Ms. Mu, don’t say that. Ye Qing is a good person!” Fang Tingyun interjected.

Chen Keai looked at Ye Qing with a hint of suspicion, and Huo Pingping’s gaze was even more hostile.

Ye Qing’s expression remained calm, and he said, ”During missions in the army, we often encounter such situations. We have received specialized training to find these devices as quickly as possible to prevent the enemy from getting a clear picture of our situation!”

”Is that even something you can train for?” Chen Keai asked, intrigued.

”Anything has its traces,” Ye Qing said softly. ”For spy cameras like these, the installer has to not only be discreet but also consider signal and visibility issues. So, in a room, there are not many places where they can be installed. Just search carefully at these specific locations and it’s not hard to find the devices!”

”Really? What you’re saying sounds too incredible!” Huo Pingping sneered, ”I’ve seen Hong Kong movies, and finding these things usually requires an expert who takes a long time. If it’s as you say, wouldn’t those experts be useless?”

Ye Qing responded, ”Movies are movies, reality is reality; they’re not the same. On the battlefield, a one-second mistake can lead to the failure of an operation; there’s no room for error!”

”That explanation seems a bit far-fetched,” Huo Pingping still had her doubts.

Mu Qingrong frowned and suggested, ”For something like this, it might be better to call the police.”

”Yes, yes, yes, calling the police is best!” Chen Keai nodded vigorously.

Fang Tingyun said nothing, as she trusted Ye Qing more.

”It’s best not to call the police!” Ye Qing said quietly.

”Why?” Huo Pingping immediately looked at him, demanding, ”Are you afraid? Do you have something to hide?”

The other women also looked at Ye Qing with suspicion, and even Fang Tingyun was somewhat astonished, unsure of what Ye Qing meant.

Ye Qing explained, ”The police take too long to handle cases, and if the police come here, that person will definitely know. Not to mention ’disturbing the grass and startling the snake,’ if they really decide to go for a ’do-or-die’ and spread something around, the consequences could be even more troublesome!”

The women realized the gravity of the situation all at once. Chen Keai anxiously said, ”That makes sense, but what should we do then? We can’t just dismantle these devices and be done with it, can we? I think that person must have photos or something of us!”

All the women’s faces were red, but only Mu Qingrong furrowed her brows, staring at Ye Qing from the beginning to the end, as if trying to spot a flaw on Ye Qing’s face.

”You said that if the police came, it would alert the snake by hitting the grass, but by dismantling these cameras, wouldn’t you do the same?” Mu Qingrong asked.

Ye Qing: ”When I dismantled them, I turned the cameras off first. So, that person will only think the camera is broken, he definitely won’t think too much!”

Mu Qingrong said, ”All said and done, it’s just you talking. We’re not professionals, we don’t know what the problem is here. I just want to know now, how should this matter be handled? Are we really going to suffer this loss without any recourse?”

Chen Keai said anxiously, ”Yes, yes, we have to find that person and get those photos back, right?”

”Don’t rush!” Ye Qing waved his hand, ”First, we need to find that person.”

”How to find him?” the women asked in unison.

”Wait a moment, let’s talk about it after dark,” Ye Qing said, ”All of you work during the day and only rest at home at night. So, if I’m not mistaken, these cameras only start to send and receive signals at night. In the evening, when he starts to transmit signals, we can locate him based on the source of the signals!”

Huo Pingping said, ”Really? Don’t just fool around, talking about tracking the signal source—can it be that simple?”

”It’s not difficult,” Ye Qing said, ”His camera transmits a single signal, on the same frequency as his receiver. All you need is a simple signal scanner, tuned to the same frequency, and you can find him!”

The women listened with their eyes wide and mouths agape, completely unfamiliar with what Ye Qing was talking about.

Mu Qingrong said, ”Can you explain it simply, or just tell us what we need to find this person?”

Ye Qing was silent for a moment, then said, ”A mobile phone, or a pager will do!”

”If you had said so earlier, I thought it would require complex equipment!” Huo Pingping took out her phone and placed it on the table, ”Can we really find him with just this thing?”

Ye Qing said, ”Any mobile phone is a signal receiver and also has location tracking capabilities. It’s just that, ordinary people don’t need these functions. However, on the battlefield, these things are incredibly important. If there is no mobile phone, one often has to make a signal source themselves.”

”Wow, from what you’re saying, one can learn quite a bit from a stint in the army,” Huo Pingping exclaimed.

Fang Tingyun had been watching Ye Qing all along, her gaze very gentle and full of admiration.

”On the battlefield, every skill adds to the guarantee of survival. So, to stay alive, you must learn as many skills as possible!” Ye Qing replied. In fact, he hadn’t gone into detail about why.

He had dabbled in this area while studying at Northern University, and having served five years in the Special Forces unit, he had used them multiple times in actual combat, so he was well-versed in these matters.

”In this era, where are there any wars left!” Mu Qingrong said gravely, ”Where is the battlefield you’re talking about?”

Ye Qing did not answer, as the question involved the military’s secrets. It was best for these people not to know about the affairs on the border lines of the Golden Triangle.

Huo Pingping said, ”Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore; we’ll deal with finding that person tonight!”

”Then let’s go dismantle the pinhole camera in Ms. Mu’s room first!” Chen Keai said.

”Can’t dismantle it,” Ye Qing shook his head, ”Tonight, we need that camera to receive the signal to find that person.”

”Then you guys go ahead, I need to get to work,” Chen Keai said, ”Right, you must take care of my photos tonight. If there are any, help me destroy them all!”

Huo Pingping laughed, ”Don’t worry, hurry off to work, and be careful, or you might miss your White Horse Prince!”

”What White Horse Prince!” Chen Keai stamped her foot, gave Huo Pingping a glaring look, and left for work with her bag.

Once Chen Keai left, the room grew somewhat silent. Mu Qingrong was still eyeing Ye Qing; she still harbored doubts about him.

”When do you think we’ll be able to detect the signal?” Huo Pingping asked.

Ye Qing: ”After eight o’clock, I guess.”

Huo Pingping rolled up her sleeves and said, ”Then it’s not long now; Xiao Fangfang, hurry and prepare some dinner, tonight we’re going to catch the pervert!”

Mu Qingrong gave her a look, wanting to say more but stopping herself. She was still skeptical about Ye Qing, so she was somewhat opposed to Huo Pingping’s readiness to have Ye Qing stay for dinner.

Fang Tingyun, however, was very pleased, and hastily said, ”Alright, Ye, you sit here for a while, I’ll go make dinner!”
