Back at Fennel’s private manor, Steven and the rest had been waiting for a while.
“Strategist, when will the boss return? Does favonovel.com need our help? I say we should just rush over!”
Hans was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. The Strategist stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were unfathomable. He looked at Georgina who was sitting on the sofa fiddling with the computer and asked, “Have you hacked your way in?”
Georgina said solemnly, “It’s a little difficult. The core firewall of the Lovelace family is built by three computer experts and isn’t something that can be cracked in a short time. However, I’ve already cracked the firewall of their laboratory. The research materials about Miss Johnston will be sorted out immediately.”
After Georgina finished speaking, several guards rushed in from the door and said with a bow, “Strategist, the four bases of the Lovelace family are all empty as if they knew we would go over. Moreover, they were full of mine traps. If not for our quick reflexes, I’m afraid our squads would have been wiped out.”
Hearing this, the Strategist frowned and paced back and forth in the hall.
No one was there?
How could that be?
Was there a leak?
Could there be a traitor in the Hall of the Sun?
The Strategist’s cold eyes swept over everyone present before they fell on Steven. Without the need to speak, Hans rushed over, grabbed Steven by the collar, and shouted coldly, “Damn you, did you leak the information? Good for you, Steven! I already knew you were up to no good! It’s too bad that the boss still trusts you, damn it!”
With that said, Hans pulled out a gun from his waist and placed it between Steven’s brows.
Steven got a fright and explained, “No, I’m not a traitor! I didn’t leak the information! I was the one who told you the information in the first place! You’ve misunderstood!”
“Bullsh*t! All Westerners are liars! I’m not going to believe you!”
Hans roared in anger. Seeing that favonovel.com was about to make a move, the Strategist said grimly, “Hans, that’s enough. Let go of Viscount Steven!”
“But Strategist, he…”
Hans wanted to explain, but the Strategist glared at favonovel.com coldly.
Hans let go in a huff and pushed Steven away.
The Strategist smiled and said, “Viscount Steven, I hope you don’t mind. Hans has a violent temper. We aren’t doubting you, but I just want to know who gave you this information in the first place.”
Steven tugged at his collar and said with a frown, “My informant told me.”
The Strategist nodded and said, “Please contact this informant now, Viscount Steven.”
Steven was stunned and said, “Do you suspect him?”
Before favonovel.com finished speaking, Steven quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, but the call went unanswered.
“F*ck!” Steven was not an idiot and instantly understood. He smashed his phone angrily.
The Strategist did not say anything. Nothing could be done about this matter now.
At this time, Georgina exclaimed, “Strategist, I found three copies of Miss Johnston’s memory chip!”
Coincidentally, Philip and Fennel walked in from the door at this moment.
“Three copies?” Philip asked aloud.
Georgina nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. Clarke. Following the clue you provided, I hacked into the server of the Lovelace family’s research institute and discovered that they are keeping three copies of Miss Johnston’s memory chip. If two copies have been destroyed as you mentioned, there should be one more copy!”
“Where is it?” Philip asked.
Georgina looked at the data and said, “In the Lovelace family! The real one!”
