Ch. 1061..1065: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1061-1065

Chapter 1061

"So, this is why he knows what sort of drug to use to sedate Mr.Johnston Sr. without killing him. He has knowledgeable when it comes to medicine. It is a pity that a single case of misdiagnosis led him down this rabbit hole." Nicole bemoaned the man's unlawful practice as much as she hated it.

She took her phone out and sent a message to Carl.

[Where are you?]

She soon received a reply.

[At Brave's production facility. You miss me?]

After ensuring that Carl was not on a mission, she called him directly. "Why do you only text when you're available? Don't you know that I'm in a rush?"

“What's the matter?" Carl became nervous all of a sudden.

Nicole laughed. "Now that's more like it. I need you to do what you did previously, and find someone for me. Here are the information and coordinates of that individual. Search for him, and I hope you'll be able to bring him back here."

"Bring him back instead erasing him this time?" иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Carl asked to confirm what he had heard.

"I need you to bring him back alive. A-l-i-v-e," Nicole said, spelling out the last word.

In truth, Carl had heard her clearly and was just teasing her on purpose. "Okay, I heard you clearly. I'll say hello to Zane first and then, I'll get it done for you."

"Okay, thanks."

"How have you and Zane been?" Nicole asked, as she had not contacted Zane in a long time.

“Things have been rather peaceful here. The Raven hasn't returned ever since we gave them a good beating. We've resumed our operations now, and we'll pull out when the fellas from Curley Corporation take over," Carl said, telling Nicole about the actual situation on his end, so she would have no reason to worry.

“None of you got hurt, right?" Nicole asked, concerned about him.

“of course not," Carl bragged. "Don't you know what I'm capable of?"

"You can't afford to be careless, even if you're skilled in melee combat. Here is what you need to know. The target is a doctor, and he knows all there is to know about sedatives. You better watch out, or you'll find yourself on the wrong end of his needle," Nicole mocked.

“Don't make me laugh. Is he as fast as I am? I would've taken him out before he could even dose me," Carl said confidently.

“I haven't seen you for a while now," Nicole mocked. "It seems that you've gotten better at running your mouth."

"You wouldn't feel good if you're not ridiculing someone for a day, huh? It is not like you've never seen what I'm capable of," Carl retorted.

“Yeah, you're a quick one, but I'm always a few steps ahead." Nicole burst out into a gale of laughter.

“You've gotten better at goading, it seems," Carl responded in kind. "Then we're the same, both you and me."

"You're learning from the best, Carl. I'll have to give you the attitude adjustment you need when I see you," Nicole threatened him.

"I will just have to see you later, then," he said.

“You dare threaten me now? Looks like someone's getting uppity these days. I'll have to fly over in a minute and beat you to a pulp, then," Nicole warned.

"Yeah, I'm scared," he said. "I'm just going to stop talking now. Someone is calling me."

"Go. Remember to capture the target and bring him to me as soon as possible. I'm just afraid he'll hole himself in a more isolated location. If that happens, it'll be even harder for us to get him," Nicole said.

"Understood. I'm hanging up."

"Bye."

"Mr. Wyance, our production line has been commissioned. We're just waiting for the materials to arrive before we begin."

 

Chapter 1062

"Thank you. I'll contact the supplier right away. If everything goes well, the raw materials should arrive by today." Martin looked at all the production equipment in the factory with relief, as he could finally begin the process of mass- producing The Beacon.

Back in his office, Martin could be seen dialing Claus's number before holding the phone to his ear. "Mr. Junkerman, I'm all set here. May I know when the materials will arrive?"

"Mr. Wyanice, they are on their way and should be delivered to you in about an hour. Get ready to receive the goods." Claus explained.

"Okay, Mr. Junkerman. I'll finalize the arrangements right away."

Martin hung up and placed the phone down with a smile on his face.

"Charles, inform the folks in the warehouse that the cargo trucks will arrive in about an hour's time," Martin said to his assistant.

“Okay, Mr. Wyance. I'm going to arrange it."

About an hour later, several supply trucks entered Martin's factory.

"Mr, Wyance, the trucks have arrived," Charles said as he strode into Martin's office.

Martin rose to his feet and followed Charles outside to examine the materials.

Meanwhile, one of the drivers got out of his vehicle and handed the delivery note to Martin. "Mr. Wyance, you may check the goods and place your signature here if it is okay."

"I have confidence in Mr. Johnston. Thanks a lot," Martin said politely, as this was his first time dealing with these people.

"Charles, escort the drivers to the lounge and let them relax for a bit."

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wyance, but we should hurry up and unload the cargo," the driver said. "That way, we can report back to the company as soon as possible."

“Okay. Charles, tell our men to make haste and start unloading," Martin said.

"Yes, Mr. Wyance."

“Hurry up, everyone!"

People in the factory got busy, and soon after, several tons of materials had been unloaded.

"Mr. Wyance, we're leaving," one of the truck drivers said, and climbed into his vehicle.

"Goodbye!" Martin then turned around and ordered. "Charles, let's begin right away!"

"Okay, Mr. Wyance," Charles replied.

The entire factory was in full swing. With the raw materials entering the machine, some important parts were gradually made.

"Charles, the quality of this part is not up to snuff. I need this fixed immediately," Martin said, having found some problems right from the start.

As time went by and the equipment were running, more and more problems became apparent. Martin called a halt to the production process at once and set about trying to discover what the issues were and what went wrong. Otherwise, they would be wasting more of their materials, which came at an exuberant cost.

“Joe, take the lead and get the quality control department to monitor the key processes. Find out what the fundamental issue is, and correct it to ensure that parts produced are up to standard," иσνєℓєвσσк. ¢σмMartin commanded.

“Okay, Mr. Wyance. I will get right on with it," Joe said.

Martin stood on the second floor, looking at all the equipment below. "I wonder, what went wrong?"

At that exact moment, a hand tapped him on the shoulder, and

Nicole's voice blurted out, "What are you staring at?"

"Nicole, what are you doing here?" Martin glanced at her and continued to observe the production sites downstairs.

Nicole caught sight of the sort of mood he was in, and asked, "What is with that sour look on your face?"

"Nothing," Martin replied, as he was not the best at expressing his feelings and usually kept things to himself whenever he faced an issue.

“Nothing? It is written all over your face," Nicole asserted, as she felt sorry having to see him in this state.

"Is it that obvious?" Martin turned around to face Nicole.

“Of course it is. What is going on? Is there something wrong with the product?"

Nicole had hit the nail on the head.

 

Chapter 1063

"Well, the quality of the parts being produced is substandard."Martin sighed, still racking his brains to figure out what went wrong.

"There is just no other way to put it."

"Substandard?"

Nicole eyed him with a puzzled look on her face.

"See this in my hand? This is The Beacon you've made, and it's fine.So, I don't get it.How could it be substandard?"

"When I made The Beacon of yours, it was produced in small quantities, and so, quality control was easy.Now that it is being mass produced, even a minor difference in any of the variables will lead to quality problems," Martin explained.

"I get it now," Nicole said, wanting to see what was happening on site.

"Let's head down and see what is going on."

"Come on.Let me show you." Martin walked ahead with Nicole following right behind.

When they stopped in front of one of the contraptions, Martin asked the engineer and the quality control staff members, "Hey guys, how is it going? Is it ready to function as it should?"

"Not yet.We're still examining it."

"How long will it take?" Martin stared at the engineer.

"I'm not sure.At this rate, it may take a few minutes or an absurdly long amount of time,"иσνєℓєвσσк. ¢σмthe engineer stated, as he had not identified the source of the problem just yet.Martin breathed a long sigh, anxious at whatever was going on.Nicole patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry.It'll be fixed in due time."

"Let's take a look at the other places."

He proceeded toward another production site with Nicole.

"Mr.Wyance."

"What is the situation on your end?"

Martin looked at Joe.

"We have identified the problem.According to our analysis, the temperature is not high enough.Before this, we tested the materials in smaller quantities, and it was easy to control the temperature.Now that the volume is several times larger, we need to exercise a more precise control of the temperature."

Now that they have discovered one of the issues, Martin was no longer as tensed as he was.

"Good job, Joe.According to your diagnostics, all you need to do is set the heat to a temperature proportional to the amount of materials we are using.The more accurate and consistent, the better.Let's hope for the best this time."

"Okay.I will get on with the calculations right away."

With one of the chief issues taken care of, Martin appeared to be even more at ease with himself.

"Come on.Let's head over there."

Once the duo had made their way to the other side of the production site again, he asked, "Are there any problems on your side?"

"No, we are just waiting for the final assembly," one of the men said.

"Mr.Wyance, will the first batch of The Beacon be out today with no further issue?"

"To be honest, I don't know," he replied.

''There were some problems during the first two stages, but if we can have them taken care of, we can resume production today itself.Alright, you guys should conduct further examination and make sure that nothing goes wrong."

Martin was very cautious, taking a careful approach at every workstation.

"Don't worry, Mr.Wyance.We will ensure that everything goes as planned." Martin smiled.

"Right on."

"Now, it seems that there are only two sites left unchecked.I will go to the first and take a look.Why don't you stick around in the other sites and help out with the temperature adjustments?" Nicole said, feeling that the problem in the first site was more serious, and she was ready to help.

Martin looked at Nicole and nodded, hoping that she could aid him in solving the issue as soon as possible.

"Okay."

With Nicole back in the first site where the engineer was, she took a long, hard look at the equipment and asked, "Hello.Have you discovered what the problem is?"

The engineer looked up at Nicole.

"Not yet."

"Let me take a look with you." Nicole stepped forward.

The engineer glanced at Nicole, refusing to take her seriously.

"Hey kid, do you even know what you're supposed to be doing?"

Nicole recognized the engineer's disdain and said, "Yeah, a little."

"Don't get in our way, then."

The engineer ignored Nicole and went to continue the discussion with his colleagues.

"Hey crew, let's proceed."

Chapter 1064

Nicole stared at the smug engineer, intending to let him falter in his attempts and step in to aid him once he was completely out of options.She pulled a chair over and sat down to watch them as they discussed.

The engineers were putting their heads together and once the tests were conducted, they followed the procedures that they had agreed upon.

Yet, they were met with nothing but one failure after another.

"How can this be?"

The engineer asked, questioning his own abilities.

"Did you mess up on one of the steps?" another engineer chimed in.

"Yeah, that's possible," he replied.

"Quickly now! Jot the steps of each process down and run the tests again,"

After twenty minutes of rigorous testing, the output of the machine was still poor, in spite of the fact that they had exhausted all of the sequences that they had come up with.

Not able to hold herself back for another minute, Nicole said, "You've been running these tests for so long.Have you found anything yet?"

The engineer, who was unable to identify the issue, was utterly frustrated.He turned around and glared at Nicole.

"Not yet.Why are you still here?"

"You've wasted so much time and resources trying to shed a light on what иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм went wrong, and yet, you've got nothing to show for it.Are you guys really engineers?" Nicole said while eyeing them with her brows raised.

"What did you just say to me?" the engineer bellowed, his face red with embarrassment and fury.

"Who gave you the right to question us!? I'll have you know that we're the top engineers in this field! Even Mr.Wyance watches his tone when he speaks to us! So who do you think you are, talking to us like that, kid!?"

"Are you a relative of Mr.Wyance's?" he asked after a pause.

"Relative? I'm not his relative.I'm his friend—"

"I don't give a damn who you are.You can't just step in and get in the way of our work here.Scram"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмA middle-aged engineer interrupted Nicole and shooed her away.

"I've got no idea where Martin hired you stooges from," Nicole said.

"Y'all talk a good game, but when the time comes for you to get things done, you've got nothing to show for it."

"What are you on about, you little rascal?"

"I am done bickering with you guys.Step aside."

Nicole stated in a solemn tone as her black eyes glinted.

Those engineers were taken aback the instant Nicole asserted herself in a unique display of confidence.

Although they were still doubtful of her abilities and her knowledge, they relented and stepped aside anyway.

Nicole then strode over to examine the equipment under the scrutiny of the engineers.She took a long, hard look at the machinery.

Recalling the lessons the engineers had learned moments ago, she deduced that the issue did not lie with the operating procedures, but with the quality of the materials.

With this theory in mind, Nicole proceeded by inspecting the materials.

Through the use of an instrument, she was able to determine that the raw materials were fine.

The engineer, realizing that Nicole was at a loss herself, chimed in, "I can see that you aren't able to figure it out yourself.Are you ready to eat the humble pie just yet?"

Nicole shot him another glance and continued her inspection.

' Since there are no issues with the raw materials, there must be something wrong with the hardware.But then, the machine is new.

How could it be the cause of all this?’ As she began to examine the contraption more thoroughly.

Martin sauntered over and made a beeline for the engineer.

"How is it? Is it operable now?"

The engineer shook his head and gestured at Martin to look at Nicole as she was inspecting the equipment.

"Nicole, what are you doing?"

"I'm checking it, иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм" Nicole replied without looking at him.

"No, it's fine.There are engineers here," Martin said, not wishing to burden Nicole.

"It is okay," she responded.

"Aren't you in a hurry to start the production? I've noticed that they couldn't handle it, so I've decided to give it a shot."

"Don't you dare spew that hogwash in front of Mr.Wyance!"

the engineers yelled, afraid that they would lose their jobs because of what she had said.

"You can pipe down and watch, or you can get out of here," Nicole retorted as Martin watched on.

Chapter 1065

The engineers felt that they were being humiliated, and proceeded to talk to Martin.But before they could get a word in, Martin turned to them and said, "Just listen to her."

This rendered them speechless, for they were not expecting Martin to give free rein to Nicole.

"Mr.Wyance, I don't know how close you are to this woman, she knows next to nothing about what we're doing, but she sure as hell knows how to pretend.She even insulted us.We demand an explanation from you, and you shall give us one, or I'm afraid that we can't continue working together in this," the middle-aged engineer took the lead and said.

Martin was just about to speak when the equipment began functioning as it should, with parts being churned out.

In response, the engineer swallowed his pride as he watched the machine working the way it always should have.He maintained his silence when Nicole and Martin proceeded to check the quality of the parts being made.

Examining the product, Martin said, "This one is acceptable."

Then he looked at Nicole with delight.

"Fabulous, Nicole! I knew I could count on you.Thank you so much."

"Okay, let's get everyone started," Nicole said, urging him to get to work.

"Right.Is everyone in their workstations prepared to proceed?" Martin yelled.

"Yes! "

"Let the mass production begin!"

Martin announced, after which every equipment began to run, churning out a huge quantity of parts.

"Joe, make sure the quality is controlled," иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмMartin reminded him with much concern.

"Okay," Joe said.

Nicole glanced at the so-called engineers and sauntered past them.

They hurriedly followed her, with one of them saying, "We're so sorry, Miss Riddle.It was our fault.I hope you can forgive us."

Concurrently, Martin stormed over and said, "The both of you are fired.I cannot afford to hire you any longer."

The engineers did not expect Martin to relieve them off their duties, and so, they pleaded with him.

"Mr.Wyance, we're sorry that we ran our mouths moments ago.Please forgive us."

"Have you forgotten how rude you were to Miss Riddle?" Martin glared at them.

"It is all my fault," the engineer pleaded.

"I'll own up to it."

"Don't follow me around," Martin said.

"You've got no idea who you've offended, do you?"

Hearing this, they ran up to Nicole and apologized.Nicole was annoyed, but she did not wish to make a mountain out of a molehill.

"Martin, just get these guys off my back.Let them do their jobs."

Heeding Nicole's words, Martin turned to them.

"You heard that? You know what to do next time.Now go!"

The engineers nodded to Nicole and Martin at once with sheepish smiles on their faces.

"Thank you, Miss Riddle, and thank you, Mr.Wyance."

"Nicole, let's head upstairs," Martin said and climbed the flight of stairs.

Now, on his office chair, Martin centered his gaze at Nicole.

"By the way, I haven't asked you this, but what brought you to the factory all of a sudden.Did Jared send you over to supervise us?"

"You're in the mood to have another dig at me now, aren't you?"

Nicole gave him a piercing look.

Martin flinched.

"No.I'm just happy that the production has resumed."

Then, he got up and made a beeline for the floor-to-ceiling window where he can view the busy production sites down below.
