Chapter 1090 - 1098: Heart-to-Heart Communication (3)
Chapter 1090: Chapter 1098: Heart-to-Heart Communication (3) At that moment, Qi Jingren’s phone rang. It rang for about ten seconds, and she had no intention of answering it until Qin Shaobai reminded her. Only then did she lazily fish out her phone from her pocket, swipe the answer button without even opening her eyes, and put it to her ear. "Hello."
She didn’t know what the other party said; she just replied indifferently, "I know. I’ll be back soon," and hung up.
After she put her phone away, Qin Shaobai asked her, "Heading back?"
"Yeah." Qi Jingren propped herself up with her hand to sit up, turned her head to glance at him, and said, "Next time you plant a tracker in my phone, make sure it’s a more advanced one, or else I have ways to counter-track you."
Qin Shaobai smiled at her, "So you found out."
In fact, Qi Jingren didn’t know when he had installed a tracker on her phone. She discovered it when she was returning to the President’s Mansion for a routine phone inspection. To prevent anyone from stealing secrets, everyone must pass through three checkpoints when entering or exiting the President’s Mansion.
These three checkpoints involve first, verifying the person’s identity, second, checking for any weapons, and third, inspecting electronic devices for surveillance, eavesdropping, or other issues.
Even though Qi Jingren was a Princess, she didn’t have any special privileges when entering or exiting the President’s Mansion, because no one could guarantee that she wouldn’t be targeted when she went out, leading to tampering.
Qi Jingren never thought she’d find a tracker on her phone, so she ordered people to counter-track in the most thorough way possible, and only then discovered it was Qin Shaobai.
According to the rules, a tracker found on her phone should be removed, but Qi Jingren firmly refused, and spread the word that anyone who dared to remove the tracker from her phone would prompt her immediate departure.
Everyone in the President’s Mansion knew about Qi Jingren leaving in a huff because of Mo Jin, and also knew that Mo Jin worried for a long time over her departure, so they didn’t dare act rashly.
Later, someone consulted Mo Jin’s opinion; initially, Mo Jin disagreed because there had been many similar incidents in recent years, where secrets were stolen due to lax security at the President’s Mansion. So he couldn’t be careless.
He instructed Qi Jingren to hand over her phone to specialists for handling. They were not to remove the tracker for the time being but had to block the signal. Qi Jingren agreed because, in her view, her father had already compromised, so she stepped back as well.
That night, Mo Jin personally returned the phone to Qi Jingren and told her that the tracker had not been removed. He also reminded her to be cautious and not to become complacent.
Qi Jingren continued to carry the phone with her, even when she broke into the General Mansion.
What Qin Shaobai didn’t know was that on the night he followed Qi Jingren to the General Mansion, she had already noticed him. She also noticed him hiding in the shadows watching her when she came out of the Bei Family.
At that time, after driving away for more than ten minutes, she returned the same way and instructed the driver to park the car in an inconspicuous spot, watching as Qin Shaobai drove away.
Qin Shaobai remained unaware of this; though usually perceptive, he miscalculated in front of Qi Jingren, not realizing that while he was the mantis, Qi Jingren was the yellow sparrow behind him.
