Jessica came to the window of the dining room, pulling open the curtain a little bit and observing the outside of the building through its narrow gap.
She kept her body still for about 3 minutes.
After that, she sat down, opened her traveling case, and took out a laptop and a pint-sized portable briefcase.
Unfolding the briefcase, a machine with a screen could be seen. Jessica took out a set of earphones and plugged it into the briefcase while putting the earphones in her ear and starting to rotate some buttons.
Not long after, Jessica sat leaning against the sofa with her eyes shut. She fetched a recording pen and put it near her lips.
Of course she didn’t speak that weird-accent Mandarin; instead, she spoke fluent British English.
Luo Qiu walked around the apartment unscrupulously while listening to Jessica’s British English. He realized it was a lie when she said she came from America.
