Surprise flickered in the depths of Qiao Jing's eyes.
These people hadn't taken her phone away?
However, she didn't think they were careless enough to allow her to communicate with the outside world by leaving her the phone. Either they had tampered with the device, or they had disabled it in some other way to prevent her from sending messages.
As soon as Qiao Jing powered on her phone, she saw the no-signal icon at the top-right corner of the screen.
A sly smile slowly curved her lips as she let out a cold chuckle.
"Hmph."
Just as she had suspected, they had jammed the signals in the area. But this trick was useless against her.
Qiao Jing entered a few codes at random, and her phone quickly connected to a unique signal channel she had created out of boredom in the past.
She immediately accessed real-time surveillance of the entire research institute and saw that two guards were stationed outside the door of her lab, one on each side.
