After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520 Conspiracy (13) A Genius

Hannah felt her heart leaping but she tried hard to stay calm, and said with a smile, "Oh? But I didn't see any camera at the door."

"It's hidden." The old man smiled and said, "Oscar helped me install it. My apartment was once broken into and all my cash was taken away. I called the police but they didn't catch the thief. Then, Oscar suggested I set up a security camera at the door. He said the bad buys could see it if we put it in a visible place, which would be pointless once they knocked it down first. So, he installed an invisible one on the wall. Come over and take a look."

Saying it, he led Hannah to the door, pointed at the camera and said, "Here! Here it is! It looks like a doorplate but there's a surveillance camera in the tiny hole here."

Hannah didn't see the hole until she was told. Others couldn't notice it. So, didn't it mean that they hadn't noticed it as well?

Hannah felt her heart beating faster and faster, but she made herself calm down and said with a smile, "Oscar is so thoughtful. I bet no one else knew there was a camera here."

"Yup. Oscar is a very nice young man. He also reminded me not to tell anyone else about it and he guessed some of the neighbours might have broken into my apartment and taken the cash last time. After all, thieves are always those people we know."

"It made sense." Hannah nodded and guessed Oscar was the 'thief'. She wondered if he did that only to help the old man install a hidden camera. Thinking of it, Hannah couldn't help to admire Oscar for being such a genius.

He knew clearly that they would turn the apartment over and find it if he installed something in the room, but they wouldn't take the neighbours as a threat. They might look around habitually but wouldn't notice somewhere so secret.

She pursed her lips softly, took over the cell phone and worked on it.

"I haven't done this before. It might take some time." Hannah said.

"No rush. I've got plenty of time."

"Aren't you gonna video-chat with your granddaughter?"

"Yeah. It's at 8 pm. I just can't wait." The old man smiled with embarrassment, "Come on in, young lady. Take a seat and take the time you need."

"OK."

Then they got into the apartment. Hannah sat on the couch and looked as if she was working on it very carefully.

The old man sat next to her and watched her for while but couldn't understand it. Then he turned to Hannah and said, "Take your time. I'll make some tea for you."

"Thank you." Hannah said politely.

All she needed to do was press a button to connect the phone to the camera, and it wouldn't take long. She did so only to send him away so that she could download a video saved on his cell phone earlier. She tried to keep it from him. Anyway, the fewer people knew it, the less trouble would be caused. And she didn't want to get others involved.

Hannah kept working hard on the phone. The old man put down the tea. It was time to cook dinner, so he left for the kitchen.

It took some time for Hannah to download the video. She then sent it to her cell phone and deleted it from his.

After that, she stood up and went up to him, "It's done, sir. You can watch the surveillance videos on your phone now."

"Good. Thank you so much." He said hospitably, "Stay and have dinner. My treat."

"It's very kind of you, sir, but my husband is waiting for me at home."

"Tell him to come over and eat in my place."

"We'd like to," Hannah put on a light smile and said, "but he's invited one of his colleagues over for dinner. So, rain check."
