The brain–machine interface chip was a crucial project for his company, with all information stored in the underground safe.
The chance of stealing this confidential information was nearly nonexistent. However, the goal was to use it to uncover clues about the person’s identity now!
Rowan’s eyes widened in shock,/”Mr. De Marco, are you letting the opposing party have the crucial technical data? This is the most vital among all the confidential documents! Even if a part of the data is uploaded, It’s more than sufficient for them to analyze!”
“I understand his target, whether it’s my life or the document!” Noah stated.
Rowan was horrified. “Are you talking about the shooting incident shortly after you left the airport?”
Reuben reassured, “Don’t worry, sir. We’ve already connected with the best security company in Muricia.
They will help you resolve any danger, Mr. De Marco.”
Noah instructed, “Report to me immediately if you find any suspicious individuals.”
“Yes, sir.”
Reuben and Julian exited the office.
The office returned to quiet, and River came to Noah’s mind.
Noah pondered, ‘River hasn’t replied to my message. Could it be that she doesn’t want to talk to me?
It’s 1:30 p.m. in Muricia, so it should be morning there. Is River not awake yet?‘
Unable to resist, Noah grabbed his phone and called River.
However, Neil was currently holding River’s phone.
He pulled out the phone and checked the screen when it rang. After a brief moment of contemplation, he answered Noah’s call.
“River…” Noah’s hoarse voice echoed.
Neil’s expression turned cold. “It’s me.”
Noah was slightly startled. “Why do you have River’s phone?”
Neil made up a poor excuse. “River left her phone at the banquet hall last night, and I just got it from the police station.”
Noah’s tone turned slightly calmer. “How is River feeling?”
Neil couldn’t help losing his temper. “How do you have the nerve to ask that question? She wouldn’t be so distracted that she left her phone if not because of you.
“Noah, have you forgotten your promise to us? It’s only been a few days, and you left River alone at her engagement party?”
“That wasn’t my intention! Don’t you understand the significance of a company’s confidential information?
“Even if that’s the case, you should explain things clearly before leaving! What do you call your current behavior?”
Neil asked.
Noah explained, “I didn’t have the time to explain due to the unexpected situation. However, I’ve already made a public announcement, and I will make it up to River at the engagement.”
“Let’s talk about it when the day comes!” Neil hung up angrily.
Noah frowned deeply after the call ended. ‘What does “let’s talk about it when the day comes” mean? Is River ending the relationship?‘
He was contemplating when Rowan entered and said, “You may head to the meeting room, Mr. De Marco.”
Noah dismissed the thought and headed to the meeting room. The employees of the IT department lowered their heads and stopped speaking when they saw Noah enter.
Noah darted a look at them before taking a seat. “I’m going to upload a portion of the company’s most important confidential data next, and I need you to implant a destructive virus in the document.”
Noah furrowed his brow. “Is there a risk of the company’s information being exposed once the other party becomes aware of the situation?”
The deputy head replied, “Yes, but it will be very difficult to notice under such circumstances.”
“Do it then,” Noah commanded.
Elon asked, “Mr. De Marco, aren’t you worried about a significant theft of files and technologies if they notice it?”
Noah smirked. “Has the opposing party ever breached our firewall?”
Elon assured, “If they breach it, Mr. De Marco, we can fix the firewall right away. It will take less than half a minute, so we won’t lose much data. However, we won’t be able to do anything during the two–minute gap.
“Give it a try! There are always risks in everything. Can you guarantee that every decision you make will definitely bring you benefits?”
Elon acknowledged, “I understand, sir. We shall go ahead with the plan with your support.”
“Hmm.”
Yuliana observed the Aglaitian woman returning to the address after staking out the location for two days.
The woman exited the car, scanned the surroundings, and walked to a house.
Yuliana quickly gave her cheek a pinch to refresh herself after noting the situation. Then, she retrieved a location tracking device and planted it on the woman’s car chassis.
Subsequently, she placed a listening device on the door and tuned in.
The woman’s voice soon echoed. Alan, will you stop being so lazy? If our boss finds out that you’ve been slacking off, he will be angry!”
Yuliana’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing that woman’s voice.
Yuliana thought, ‘This is the woman! I can’t be mistaken! I have the voice recording for comparison. However, she can actually speak Ylesirese?‘
“So what if I am?”
Shortly after, the man named Alan Jay retorted in Ylesirese, “Our boss has ordered me not to breach the firewall for the time being.”
“Still, you can’t be so neglectful either! You have to exercise caution so our IP location won’t be traced,”
Elvira said.
“Don’t you trust my ability?” Alan said in displeasure.
Elvira replied, “Long–lasting prudence is crucial. We shouldn’t create any trouble for our boss!”
“All you care about is Mr. Hendrix!” Alan exclaimed.
Yuliana was puzzled. ‘Who is Mr. Hendrix?‘
“It’s not that I care about Mr. Hendrix, but completing this job will allow us to enjoy a carefree life for the rest of our lives!”
“Do you believe it’s that simple? Mr. Hendrix is dealing with a formidable person, too!” Alan burst out in laughter.
Yuliana: [Okay, noted. I will send you the location whenever she stops.]
Tyler: [Be careful, Aunt Yuliana.]
Yuliana: [Don’t worry!]
As soon as Tyler put down the phone, he heard Axel heaving a sigh.
Tyler looked over and asked, “What’s going on?”
Axel lay flat on the bed. “Stop searching, Ty. It’s useless.”
Tyler was puzzled, and Liora looked at Axel curiously.
Axel stared at the ceiling in exhaustion. “The model of this bullet is widely available from various sellers.”
“In theory, there shouldn’t be too many bullets of the same model during the production of each batch,” Tyler commented.
Axel covered his eyes with his arms. “I have underestimated the carefulness of individuals on the dark web. They might intentionally distribute a shipment of goods to various sellers on purpose.”
Tyler frowned. “In other words, our effort in investigating this is futile?”
“Yes. In addition, there are buyers… It’s impossible, Ty.”
Tyler wasn’t discouraged. “It’s fine if the lead is useless, Axel. I have discovered a new issue through Aunt Yuliana’s tracking.”
Axel removed his arms and looked at Tyler. “Did Aunt Yuliana send another location?”
“Yes. The woman visited another place earlier, and we’ve identified the mentioned location before. Even though the person erased the IP location every time we tracked them, I can still remember the approximate location.”
Axel asked, “So, you think that this matter is closely connected to Scott too, right?”
Tyler pursed his lips with a tinge of disappointment in his eyes. “However, I really hope that the person is not Papa Wilson.”
“I hope not either. Papa Wilson is so kind. I can’t figure out why he would do so,” Liora said in dejection suddenly.
Axel heaved a sigh. “Appearances can be deceiving. What we can do now is find the clues to avenge 1/2
“Hmm.”
Kenny suddenly walked into the room with lunch in his hand and asked the children, “Any update?”
Axel and Tyler exchanged glances and shook their heads.
Kenny shrugged. “It’s fine if there’s none. Come and eat. I’ll take you to visit your mother from the ICU
entrance later.”
Tyler and Axel obediently sat by the table while Liora remained on the bed. She stared at Kenny’s forehead in bewilderment.
Noticing Liora’s lack of action, Kenny turned to her. “Come, Lia. Why won’t you come?”
Liora blinked and held out a finger to point at Kenny. “Uncle Kenny… You…”
Liora thought, ‘There’s a dark mass on Uncle Kenny’s forehead close to his eyes.‘
Liora sighed. “Forget it. I’m hungry and want to eat.”
The crowd didn’t pay much attention to Liora’s remark, but they were concerned about her well–being.
Kenny discussed taking Liora to see an ophthalmologist later.
Greta arrived after lunch and helped the children change into fresh clothes. She then put the dirty laundry in a bag before taking the children to the ICU with Kenny.
Neil had been sitting outside the ICU entrance the whole time. Upon noticing the children’s arrival, he stood up and asked, “Have you all had lunch?”
Liora rubbed her belly. “Yes, Uncle Neil. Have you?”
Neil nodded. “Aunt Greta brought me lunch, and I had some.”
Tyler was unable to see his mother due to his height, so he asked Kenny, “Uncle Kenny, can you carry me so I can see Mommy?”
Kenny nodded, carrying Tyler to the window.
