Alan glanced at his phone and answered the incoming call.
“Mr. Hendrix! Last night, I successfully breached the opposing party’s firewall and stumbled upon a confidential document!” Alan declared in Ylesirese.
Hector’s expression darkened as he retorted, “How dare you take matters into your own hands without my orders?!”
Alan hesitated for a moment before responding. “Mr. Hendrix, I just want to help.”
Seating himself on the sofa, Hector asked, “What kind of confidential document is it?”
“It’s about brain–machine interface technology! Worried about potential tracking, I withdrew after a brief examination,” Alan explained.
“Brain–machine interface? Have you seen this document before?” Hector asked.
“No, this is the first time! I checked, and obtaining a patent for it is highly challenging, Mr. Hendrix. MK is the sole company working on this technology! Acquiring it would be highly beneficial for you!” Alan exclaimed.
Hector acknowledged, “Indeed.”
As the echoes of his voice faded, the sound of a clacking keyboard filled the air.
Excitedly, Alan stated, “I’ll retrieve the confidential document for you, sir! Please reward me once I succeed!”
Hector frowned instantly, cautioning, “Don’t do it!”
“Why not, Mr. Hendrix?” Alan questioned, undeterred as he continued typing.
Alan’s inner thoughts revealed his determination. ‘The possession of this item will ensure a carefree life for me! I won’t let such a good opportunity go to waste just because he told me, right?‘
“They’ve just uploaded it. It’s clearly a trap,” Hector explained.
“No, Mr. Hendrix! I’m sure they’re trying to disperse it! Besides, their technology is subpar. Trust me. I can retrieve it easily!” Alan insisted.
Noticing Alan’s ignorance, Hector angrily ordered, “I’m ordering you to stop!”
The last keyboard clack resonated as Alan triumphantly said, “Mr. Hendrix, I’ve successfully stolen it! I’m 1/2
Alan stopped mid–sentence.
“How is it destroyed?!” Alan anxiously questioned.
He began typing frantically. “It can’t possibly be destroyed! They… Fuck! My computer!”
Hector’s expression turned cold. “Alan!”
“Mr. Hendrix! My computer is malfunctioning! There are codes I can’t modify!” Alan panicked.
Hector’s solemn presence filled the room gradually. “Perhaps it’s time to think about how you wish to die, Alan!”
Hector hung up abruptly and dialed another number.
Axel fixated on the man’s photo and the accompanying information. “Alan Jay?”
“Who’s this? Is he the mastermind?” Tyler shared Axel’s bewilderment.
“Is the foreigner the mastermind? I doubt it,” Axel expressed skepticism.
Tyler instructed Axel, “Call him and check if he knows Alan Jay while I continue going through the files.”
Axel understood who Tyler was referring to and swiftly dialed Noah’s number.
Meanwhile, Noah had just arrived at the company.
Rowan informed him that they had successfully traced the opposing party’s location.
As he entered the IT department, Noah’s phone rang. He hesitated for a moment before picking up Axel’s call.
“Axel,” Noah said while walking into the department.
Axel asked, “Daddy, do you know someone by the name of Alan Jay?”
“Mr. De Marco!”
A man called out to Noah just as Axel’s voice faded.
Noah’s attention shifted to Rowan. “What’s the situation?”
“We’ve located the precise spot. We planned to extract information from his computer, but it’s empty. Something’s off. We expected him to make a move, but there’s nothing,” Rowan reported.
Noah frowned. “There’s nothing on the computer? What’s going on?”
Upon hearing this, Axel cleared his throat. “Daddy, we extracted all the information on the computer.”
Tyler explained, “We breached his firewall while he was stealing your confidential data and hacked into his computer.”
Noah was impressed by his sons‘ capabilities.
Unaware of the situation, Rowan looked at Noah in a daze. After receiving a look from Noah, he took a seat.
Noah asked Tyler, “Is there any usable lead?”
Tyler replied, “We can confirm that this person, Alan Jay, orchestrated attacks on your company. Do you know who that is?”
Noah pondered. “Alan Jay? No,”
“Why is this person targeting you then?” Tyler expressed confusion.
Meanwhile, Tyler meticulously sifted through all the documents.
Suddenly, Axel called out to him, “Hold on, Ty!”
Tyler looked at him in confusion.
Axel pointed at the words on the computer. “Receiver: Mr. Hendrix.”
Upon hearing Yuliana’s remark, Noah immediately instructed Rowan, “Get Reuben to find this person!”
Rowan promptly replied, “Yes, sir!”
Yuliana said, “There’s something else. Elvira is acquainted with Scott! I’ve confirmed that Elvira was the woman leaving Scott’s place. They were speaking Spanish, and I couldn’t understand their conversation.”
She then added, “She addressed Scott as ‘boss‘.”
Yuliana murmured in realization, “Does that mean Scott is likely to be Mr. Hendrix?”
Anxiously, she continued, “Hold on, I can see Elvira!”
The crowd held their breaths.
Tyler asked, “Where are you?”
Yuliana lowered her voice. “I’m in an old apartment opposite Alan’s residence.”
Tyler reacted with a twitch of his lips, asking, “How did you get in there?”
Peeking out from behind the curtain, Yuliana explained, “I’ll tell you next time. Elvira is not bringing any food this time…”
Noah instructed, “Wait there, and I’ll get Reuben to send someone over immediately. You may leave when the people are captured.”
Yuliana agreed, “Sure, but I’m rather safe now. I’m curious if Scott is the so–called Mr. Hendrix-“
Suddenly, an agonizing scream pierced the air.
The crowd fell into stunned silence.
“Aunt Yuliana?” Axel called out.
“I’m here,” Yuliana replied, her heart racing.
Looking at the window of the opposite house, she saw Alan and swallowed her saliva in shock.
It was Alan’s scream!
Yuliana hastily left the window after seeing the figure on the opposite window leave the room.
Noah asked, “What was that?”
Yuliana explained, “Noah, if I’m not mistaken, that was Alan’s scream.”
She recounted what she saw.
Tyler cautioned, “Be careful, Aunt Yulia. I feel that Elvira is more complicated than she appears!”
Yuliana reassured him, patting her chest, “I know, don’t worry!”
In less than a minute, Elvira walked out of the house, stuffing a blood–stained dagger into her sleeve. Her gaze fixed on a window with its curtains shut, swaying in the wind.
Noah and the two children stood in shock upon hearing the voice.
Yuliana, in an old woman’s voice, exclaimed, “Fine then! Why are you still messing around with women at your age? How did those women seduce you?”
Switching to an old man’s voice, she continued. “Stop slandering me when you don’t even have the evidence!”
“Don’t think that I haven’t seen it! People are talking about it, and I hear it!”
“You’re impossible!”
“How dare you still flirt around at your age, you old geezer! I’m telling your so- daughter!”
Elvira stopped outside after hearing the quarrel. She pondered for a moment and grabbed her phone to check the resident’s information. After reading it, she felt relieved–the apartment belonged to an old married couple indeed.
She turned and walked downstairs, convinced that everything was fine.
Yuliana was relieved that Elvira was leaving.
Yuliana breathed out in relief. “All is well, she’s gone. I met the family before, or else I would have exposed myself.”
The two children were dumbstruck.
Tyler remarked, “Aunt Yulia, it’s a waste that you didn’t pursue a career as a voice actor.”
Axel added, “I… admire that very much…”
Proudly, Yuliana said, “That’s not important.”
Fifteen minutes later.
Axel and Tyler kept Yuliana company on the phone until Noah’s bodyguards arrived.
Yuliana stood next to the window and watched the bodyguards kick the door down and enter the old house.
