Chapter 422 - Tortureous minutes (1/2)
After hanging up, Xiu Mei's eyes narrowed, she was well aware that a big headache was about to enter her house, her serene villa.....
She wanted to start working on the security of the villa due to time constraints but before that, her stomach rumbled.
To start such a big project she first needs some energy, thinking she went downstairs. While walking to the Kitchen she passed by Butler Tom.
”Good Morning young miss,” Butler Tom wished.
”Hm…” She hummed without looking back.
Bewilderment took over Butler Tom.
”Good Morning little miss,” Aunt Mary wished her happily, squeezing the fresh orange juice when she saw Xiu Mei entering the kitchen.
”Morning,” Xiu Mei nodded and opened the refrigerator to see what vegetables are available.
Aunt Mary was confused and shared a glance with his husband who happens to enter just after Xiu Mei.
Butler Tom shrugged.
They were confused as this was the first time when the young miss of the house didn't wish with her usual sunshine smile. They were so used to it that it took them some time to come out of the shock.
”Did you see it?” Aunt Mary asked butler in a whispering voice and Butler Tom complained, sulking, ”At least she said morning to you… to me, it was just a small voice”
”Should we ask her?” Mary asked her husband.
”Maybe we are overreacting” Butler Tom pondered, ” Might be her mood is not good today or she's stressed out. Let's give her some space and not trouble her by asking unnecessary questions” He assured his wife and himself.
Xiu Mei wanted to eat a heavy breakfast as once she enters the lab she won't come out before completing the work.
”Miss do you need any help?” Aunt Mary asked her.
”No…mmm…. Yes….yes I need..... Prepare a full-fledged western breakfast for me, make sure it's rich in protein and healthy” Xiu Mei decided not to waste time in cooking, more like she can't cook properly, so it was better to let Mary do the task.
”Sure Miss!!! How about broccoli quiche, scrambled eggs and almond granola with fresh fruits?” Aunt Mary suggested.
”Good!” Xiu Mei nodded before heading towards the terrace.
Standing on the terrace, she scanned the premises to see what necessary changes should be made to increase the security of the villa and make it efficacious.
Her villa was built on the mountain, standing tall in an inconspicuous position. Surrounded by the dense forest from three sides, the only way to enter was by air or use the only driveway path built along the mountain.
If one tries to enter using the driveway path without her permission, either he will be crushed to death by huge rolling stones or might become a one-time meal of wild animals of the forest.
In short, the entire driveway path was constantly monitored, installed with dangerous traps that make it impossible to enter inconspicuously alive. Moreover, if someone tries to enter by air then most probably he will be burned to death by the high-frequency laser sensors installed around the boundary.
She tested the functioning of lasers by placing six drones in various directions outside the villa and then tried to enter them inside the territory.
When the drones tried to enter five of them got destroyed within a range of 400 meters but one managed to come in the close proximity and only got destroyed at a short distance of 150 meters.
Although it got destroyed, it was not completely safe so she decided to fix this loophole.
She checked the driveway path and surveillance system and noted down the necessary changes that have to be made.
An hour passed by....
Xiu Mei went back inside when the breakfast was prepared. She settled down on the table and served herself.
”Uncle Tom clean the room beside my bedroom and change the bedsheets too,” Xui Mei ordered but did not explain anything further and concentrated on her food.
