Nicole nodded.
Since Lulu said that they were expensive, at least worth $5,000, and that was an amount high enough for
filing a case with the police.
She then turned to June.
“The Security Department will not agree to let us see the surveillance recordings.
I have two ways: first, call the police, but it will be very slow; second, I will use my own ways to help you
get things back.”
June barely thought about it and chose the second option.
Nicole seemed to have known that June would choose this option.
She took out her laptop and turned it on without hesitation.
Both June and Lulu looked at her, unsure of what Nicole was going to do with such a heavy and clumsy-
looking laptop.
“Nicole, what are you doing with the computer?” Lulu asked in a soft voice.
June also could not help but look at Nicole in puzzlement.
She had chosen to let Nicole help her, but it did not mean that she fully believed Nicole.
It was just that the bracelet was important to her, and she wanted to get it back quickly.
Nicole did not answer, her eyes focusing on the computer screen.
The Royal Creek Institute’s security system was comprehensive, but to Nicole, it made no difference.
Quickly, Nicole had hacked into the surveillance system of the Security Department.
She rapidly typed on the keyboard and compiled a line of codes, and started searching.
It did not take long before she called up last night’s surveillance footage of the corridor.
The entire process lasted only five minutes.
She copied the surveillance footage to local storage and then withdrew, erasing every history of her visit
seamlessly without leaving a trace.
Lulu and June watched on with their mouths agape.
They could not understand a thing about the numbers and alphabets that rapidly popped out on the
screen, but they could see the school surveillance footage clearly.
They marveled at Nicole’s ability to hack the school’s surveillance system by just using an old computer.
The two of them could not say a word.
They just waited quietly on one side. Nicole opened the video file saved on the computer and beckoned
to the two girls, who were looking at her adoringly.
“Let’s watch it together.” June could not wait but rushed over, followed by Lulu.
All three of whom had their eyes on the surveillance video that Nicole had already begun to play. As the
time passed by, minute by minute, a few sneaky figures appeared in the video.
They were wearing pajamas, sneaking up in front of Nicole’s room.
The leading girl took a key to Nicole’s bedroom from her pocket, opened the door, peered in first, and
then waved her hand, and the three of them entered tandem.
Ten minutes later, they were seen coming out in a hurry, almost running as soon as they left the room,
leaving the door open.
Nicole continued to play the surveillance video until she confirmed which dorm the girls lived in.
They glanced at each other as they recognized these three girls.
The trio were the third-year students who had come to check on the dormitory earlier.
Nicole’s face looked frosty.
She did not expect that Mr.
Ellison’s warnings did not deter the three girls.
Instead, they had broken into her dorm room. The school’s surveillance was cleared every day and a
half, after which it would be difficult for Nicole to find the perpetrators again. Seeing this, Lulu said
indignantly, “No wonder they could enter our dormitory.
The third-year students live in Building B next door, which is corinected to Building A, where we live by a
staircase.
It is too easy for anyone to come in.
Besides, they have the key, as they are responsible for checking the dormitory.
This created a wonderful opportunity for them.” June also nodded gently in agreement.
Seeing that it was the third-year students and knowing they were nasty to mess with, she looked at
Nicole with some concern.
“What should we do next? They have stolen from us, but they are third-year students.
Should we just give up and not offend them?” Nicole looked at June, whose brows were knitted together.
She could tell that the bracelet was indeed important to June, but June did not want Nicole to get into
trouble because of her. “Yeah, Nicole.
I have a lot of necklaces and hairpins.
Sh-Should we just let it be?” Lulu screwed up her face when speaking about it.
But the things that were stolen were her most favorite necklace and hairpin.
She would be lying if she said she was not emotionally distressed.
Nicole looked at the two of them and let out a strange smile.
She then picked up the phone on the table.
“Come with me.” Lulu and June glanced at each other, knowing that Nicole was going to help them
retrieve the lost property.
Looking at each other again, the two gritted their teeth and quickly followed.
Since Nicole was not afraid to offend the third-year students for their sake, they had no reason to back
away. Nicole did not say a word along the way.
Lulu and June, on the other hand, acted as if they were warriors going to war.
Their expressions were grave.
They were nervous, like they were going to do something big.
Arriving at those girls’ dormitory, Nicole raised an eyebrow when she listened to the annoying laughter
coming from inside.
Just as Lulu was cautiously trying to knock on the door, Nicole raised her leg, kicked open the door with
force, and strode in.
Lulu and June were stunned for a second before quickly following Nicole to get in.
A death-like silence fell in the room as the talking and frolicking voices just suddenly stopped.
Those girls looked at Nicole as if they had seen a ghost.
The fat girl who was the leader tried to gather herself.
“Why are you all so ill-mannered?” Nicole was not in the mood to listen to her nonsense.
She glanced at the fat girl with knifelike eyes, and silence fell in the room instantly again.
