When he dragged Lin Yaru over, Lin Yaru also realized at this moment.
He had already known that this incident was undoubtedly related to him.
But he had not expected that because of his issue, it would cause them to delay their itinerary and be unable to leave from here.
"Speak, what's the matter?"
Lin Yaru said these words, looked up at Ye Chen, and took a deep breath.
Regardless of whether the matter they were investigating was true or false, since it had happened, it signified that the truth might very well exist.
And during the years she had lived in this city, it seemed she had always been under surveillance, a reality she had always been reluctant to face.
"All of this was actually discovered by Anying. I originally intended to be aware of all this, but I found nothing. Meanwhile, Anying found the hidden items through a plaque above the neighborhood, that is, the position where the name of your community is placed."
"Items hidden in the community's name? I don't understand, what do you mean by that?"
"Of course, for an outsider, these things are completely unfathomable, and they can never understand what exactly is being done."
Because at the beginning, Ye Chen himself did not know how they had found out all this information.
"Let me put it this way, at first, I didn't understand either. There are some professional surveillance devices and communication equipment hidden inside that large character. Specifically, you don't need to worry too much about it. I am just telling you that such devices indeed exist."
"But how can you be sure that this device is used to monitor me and not for some other purpose?"
"That's why we need to ascertain their purpose. Afterwards, we'll see who might have left such an item here. Anyway, such devices wouldn't be left here without reason, so we suspect it might be related to you, but we can't be one hundred percent certain right now."
"So you mean to say, over the next few days, Anying will be able to follow this clue and find out everything, right?"
"Exactly. That should be the case. But as for how to operate specifically, I am not sure because it's Anying who will handle it. We are just here to provide support temporarily. Additionally, during the investigation, for safety reasons, none of us, especially you and Anying, should leave this room. I will deal with all matters personally."
"How long will it take?"
"I'm not clear on that. It depends on what Anying's situation is like. Anying, why don't you tell her?"
When it comes to professional matters, naturally, Ye Chen could not explain too much and simply passed the question to Anying nearby.
"With communication equipment like this, they operate at certain transmission powers, and it is likely to be unmanned. So, it is an unattended device. An unattended device will have its own operational patterns when transmitting frequencies. It will not transmit constantly. It might focus on a specific time to process data. So, I need to figure out its pattern to deduce all the content, including its approximate location."
"That means the timing isn't guaranteed to be absolute, right?"
"Correct, because we still need to determine it based on its transmission frequency. Usually, within 24 hours, they will definitely send out a data report, but we don't know how long they set it to be. It could also be 48 hours or 72 hours, but it certainly wouldn't be too long, because the messages are dated and can't be kept there indefinitely."
"He only placed a set of communication equipment there; how could he receive information or signals? I don't understand that. I just pass there every day, even so, what could he possibly discern?"
"Perhaps it is your daily routine. Besides, are there any other hidden communication devices in the neighborhood? I'm not sure about that. Maybe that one is just the main service hub, and within it, there could be some smaller devices hidden somewhere in the neighborhood."
"Are you including my room in that?"
Upon saying this, Lin Yaru suddenly tensed up.
It felt as if countless eyes were constantly watching her, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
"Don't worry. Even if there is surveillance, it wouldn't be placed directly in this room. And I have professional detection equipment, so I can instantly tell if there are such devices here. Rest assured, this place is absolutely safe."
After hearing Anying's explanation, Lin Yaru finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I really didn't expect that having lived here for so many years, I was always under surveillance. I don't understand what these people really want to do."
"If we're talking specifics, it's just as the old man said before, they suspect that this might be manipulated by a large consortium. But as to what direction they're taking, what their purpose is with us, we have to verify step by step."
After listening, Lin Yaru didn't speak. She just nodded gently. In fact, she was well aware of this information and also knew that some things, once confronted, might not be easy to face.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you then, especially you Anying, who might have to monitor the signals for the next few days. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help."
"At the current stage, the two of you can't do anything, only I can operate. So, I need an absolutely quiet environment."
"An absolutely quiet environment could only mean a room. My house is only this big. The living room is busy with people coming and going, so you'd better go to that room. Without your permission, we generally won't disturb you in there."
