Subsequently, Gisele took out the U-disk-like device from her handbag and tossed it to Cameron, who had a full beard.
Cameron took the U-disk without a word, simply walking towards two laptops in the room.
He opened the U-disk's connector, plugged it into another adapter, and then inserted that adapter into the computer.
When Cameron walked inside, Johnny followed Gisele.
He saw a pop-up window appear on the screen after the U-disk was inserted. Cameron manipulated the mouse to click on the pop-up, and another window appeared.
A progress bar in the window indicated that it was reading data from the device.
When the progress bar reached one hundred percent, it entered another interface.
It was then that Johnny realized the U-disk-like device was actually a miniature scanner, and a very powerful one at that.
It had completely scanned all three floors—the 36th, 37th, and 38th—and the data import and model formation were based on the route he and Gisele had taken.
It took nearly 10 minutes for the computer to compile the data into a complete 3D model.
At this moment, Johnny had a completely new understanding of Gisele's team; it was a high-tech team.
"How about it, surprised?" Gisele whispered close to Johnny's ear, making his ear tingle slightly.
"Not bad."
Although he said that, Johnny was actually dying of envy. He also wanted to have such a team, but he was willing in spirit but lacked the strength.
Ever since the big heist in Rio, Johnny had wanted to form his own team, but he had been dragging his feet and still had no clue how to proceed.
As Cameron continuously entered commands on the keyboard, the 3D scan gradually became more realistic.
"The difficulty is very high."
After carefully reviewing the 3D scan, Cameron stated his conclusion.
"Besides these cameras, these display cases also have hidden complexities. If my judgment isn't wrong, this display case likely employs a triple security system: temperature, air vibration, and weight sensors."
Cameron pointed to the display case holding the star of africa and said, "Moreover, we'll need an item with the exact same weight as the star of africa to replace it."
There was one more thing he didn't explicitly say, which was that their hand speed needed to be quick.
However, everyone present understood his meaning.
Thompson returned to his computer, typing away, and soon announced, "The hotel's internal security system has been dealt with, but the 38th floor's defense system is independent and cannot be controlled."
Hearing his two companions, Gisele's expression became a little disheartened. Was she just going to let the star of africa slip away right under her nose?
The difficulty involved was simply the highest of all the jobs they had ever done.
Seeing that Gisele was still a bit reluctant to give up, Cameron earnestly said, "The security facilities here are too comprehensive, with multiple layers of security intersecting. Not to mention anything else, just the cameras here are very difficult for us to avoid, and the facilities inside that safe are probably far beyond our imagination."
Gisele wasn't unaware of what Cameron was saying, but the star of africa was right in front of her, within reach. Missing it like this would be too unwilling.
After an intense internal struggle, Gisele firmly said, "We must take it."
Seeing Gisele's persistence, Cameron simply nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll go make some arrangements and also research how to bypass these surveillance and security facilities."
Thompson said nothing, merely continuously typing on the keyboard, taking control of all controllable clues and equipment.
"Their surveillance network is independent and offline. To control the surveillance network, someone must create an opening in their main surveillance host."
As their "fitness coach," Charlie was unfamiliar with this area, so he didn't interject, just sat quietly to the side.
Johnny, however, looked at Thompson and asked, "If their host terminal needs to connect to WiFi, do you have a way to control it?"
Hearing Johnny's words, Thompson suddenly smiled, "As long as it can connect to the internet, I have a way to control it."
Johnny nodded, "Then it's simple."
At first, Thompson didn't react, but then he understood what Johnny meant, and a grin spread across his face, "You are an interesting person."
In fact, the risk factor for this operation was extremely high, and neither Thompson nor Cameron really wanted to continue. Of course, Charlie, the big guy, didn't think that much. Although he was bold and meticulous, he had no say in this matter.
However, since their boss was determined to have the star of africa, they could only risk their lives for her.
Johnny went out for a while and returned shortly, holding two different WiFi receivers in his hands.
"These are the two different WiFi receivers I could find in the shortest amount of time. I hope you can make good use of them."
Johnny said to Thompson after tearing open the packaging and weighing the two WiFi receivers in his hand.
Thompson made an 'no problem' expression, then smiled and said, "If I can't even handle this, I don't deserve to be a hacker."
Thompson then took the two receivers to modify their internal code.
Gisele looked at Johnny with a very subtle gaze. Johnny's willingness to help voluntarily was a pleasant surprise to her, regardless of his motives.
Subsequently, Johnny walked out with the two WiFi receivers. Gisele reached out to stop him, "Where are you going?"
After all, earlier he went out to buy things; this time, it probably wasn't that simple.
Johnny shook the WiFi receivers in his hand, "Of course, I'm going to do some preparatory work for a certain beautiful woman who wants a diamond. Otherwise, how could she be content?"
Then, Johnny lightly poked Gisele's nose with his finger, smiled, opened the door, and left.
In that instant, Gisele even felt her heart skip a beat.
At this moment, Cameron and Thompson were huddled together, looking at Gisele by the door, "I'll bet 10 usd that the boss is definitely smitten!"
Faced with Cameron's wager, Thompson looked helpless, "Smitten is smitten, why drag me into it? Siba!"
"I'll bet 20 usd that she'll definitely take down that guy named Night Owl tonight."
Charlie, who rarely spoke, also chimed in, generously betting 20 usd. Cameron looked at him in surprise, then smilingly accepted the money.
And so, a small bet centered around Gisele began. When Gisele felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, she turned her head, only to find the three of them nonchalantly working on their tasks.
Charlie even started doing handstand push-ups; everything seemed so strange, yet so normal at the same time.
If she were to walk over at that moment, she would surely see the corner of a usd bill peeking out of Cameron's shirt pocket.
