Ch. 1351..1355: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1351-1355
Chapter 1351
“What do you need me to find out?” Harvey stared at Nicole with a look of puzzlement.
“It’s about what happened at the parking lot. I’ve found the person who assaulted me,” Nicole calmly said.
“You’ve found him? Where is he? I’ll go and make him pay for what he did!” Harvey immediately stood up and asked upon hearing the news.
Nicole knew that he would display such a massive reaction, so she quickly signaled him with her eyes to sit down. “Keep it on the down low!”
Nicole scanned her surroundings. Fortunately for her, the place was quite empty that day, and as such, nobody was paying attention to them.
“I’ve met the person and it seems that someone had ordered him to attack me,” she said. “There’s no need to give him hell over it anymore.”
“Even if he was just a hired gun, you should not just let him off the hook, since he’s an accomplice too,” he fumed. “You must give him the punishment he deserves. What are you going to do if he hurts you again?”
Harvey then looked at Nicole nervously. ‘Is it inconvenient for her to do so?’
“If it’s inconvenient for you to act upon it, I can do it on your behalf,” Harvey said in a solemn tone as he looked into Nicole’s eyes.
“No, it’s just that I don’t really want to take any action against him. The most important thing now is to find out who the true perpetrator behind this incident is.’ Nicole reminded him in a stern voice.
“I’ve managed to acquire the address where the attacker met up with the instigator. I called you here today to check the place out for me,” Nicole told Harvey.
“Me?” Harvey asked in confusion.
“Yeah. I’m sure they’ll recognize me, so I can’t go there by myself. I can’t simply tell anyone about this incident too. Hence, you’re the best choice for this. On top of that, you’re the one I trust the most,” she solemnly said.
Harvey felt touched after hearing those words, for Nicole actually referred to him as someone whom she trusted the most.
“Why are you zoning out?’ Nicole asked, trying to get Harvey back into his senses, as she noticed that he was in a daze.
“Nothing. What were we talking about?’ Harvey asked Nicole as he beamed at her.
“I said, do you have time to check the place out for me?” Nicole repeated herself again.
Ì do. If it has anything to do with you, I’ll make myself available for it even if I’m busy.” Harvey looked at Nicole as if she was the most important thing in the world to him.
“Can you not suck up to me?” Nicole rolled her eyes at him.
“Anyway, this is the address of that place. You may have a look. After this, I’ll bring you there while I wait in the car,” she continued.
“What should I say when I enter?” he asked.
“You don’t have to initiate a conversation. Just act like you’re in trouble and desperate for help. Then, the owner would approach you on his own and recommend someone named Ms. Jo to you. I suspect
Ms. Jo to be the mastermind behind this whole incident,” she replied.
“Ms. Jo?” he asked.
“Yes. After you’ve spoken to Ms. Jo, get the owner to bring you to meet her. When that happens, all you have to do is take a picture of Ms. Jo and you’re done,” Nicole said, explaining his role in the entire operation to Harvey.
“It doesn’t seem to be a challenge.” Harvey saying, having initially through that it would be a challenging and dangerous task for him.
But after listening to Nicole’s explanation, he scorned.
“Although it sounds simple, there are certain risks associated with it, and that’s why you must be careful. Don’t be careless, as those sorts of people are sly. Once they notice anything, you might lose your life,” Nicole solemnly explained.
“Is it as scary as you just described? Or are you just trying to scare me?” Harvey looked at Nicole in disbelief.
“I’m not exaggerating. Just, be careful with every move that you make,” she warned.
‘Wear this so that I can track your location in real-time.” Nicole gave Harvey a tiny tracker that possesses a recording function as well.
Chapter 1352
Harvey grabbed and examined it. ’Where should I wear it?” “Wear it where it’s hidden. They might search you when you meet Ms. Jo, so you must be prepared,” Nicole advised as she looked him in the eye.
“Alright. Why do I feel like I’m in a movie?’ Harvey continued joking nonchalantly.
“Please be serious about this,” she said.
Nicole then looked at the three-piece suit that he was wearing from head to toe and said, “You need to change out of these.”
“Huh? Change my clothes? Do we have to go to that extent?” Harvey frowned upon hearing that he had to change out of his clothes.
’Since we’re acting, well have to go all out,” she replied. “Come on, I’ll bring you to the mall.”
After speaking, Nicole stood up and walked out of the restaurant. Seeing this, Harvey quickly followed her.
In the mall, Nicole brought Harvey to the front of a shop. After taking a single glance, she walked in.
‘Sir, please give him a set of clothes in this style that would fit him.” Nicole turned to the owner and pointed to Harvey who was behind her.
The owner studied Harvey’s figure and size, gave Nicole a prompt reply, and went off to search for clothes. Not long after, he came back with a set of clothes in hand.
“What do you think about this?” The owner passed it to Nicole.
Nicole took a good look and examined Harvey’s figure, after which she said, “It’s quite fitting. Let him try it on.”
“Nicole, isn’t this too casual?” Harvey looked at that set of clothes and felt that it was too different from what he was wearing.
Surely, Nicole was not trying to trick him, right?
‘Casual is what we’re going for. The more casual it is, the better,” she replied.
In fact, Nicole was exceedingly satisfied with that set of clothes.
“Go and try it on. Let’s not waste any more time.” Nicole rushed him.
Harvey took the clothes from the owner and slowly walked into the fitting room as he was reluctant to do so.
Soon after, Harvey put those clothes and walked out. Even though the clothes looked quite simple and casual, he still looked handsome in them.
Nicole approached him and began to size him up. She shook her head in disapproval, “Now, the clothes look casual enough but there’s still a hint of ruggedness in you. You still need a bit of a makeover.”
After clearing the check, Nicole dragged Harvey to a cosmetics store.
“Have a seat,” Nicole said, making Harvey sit in front of a mirror.
Then, she picked a makeup removal pad up to wipe the skincare products off Harvey’s face.
Seeing this, Harvey brought his hands up at once and stopped her. “Nicole, what are you doing?”
“I’m just wiping off the products on your skin and giving you a simple makeover. Don’t worry, I won’t make you hideous.” Nicole looked at Harvey through the mirror and explained.
It was only then that Harvey lowered his hands and allowed Nicole to do as she pleased.
In her left hand was a hair spray that she had picked up, while in her right was a blower which she then used to work on his hair. After a few minutes had passed, a new Harvey appeared before her eyes. She admired her masterpiece and smiled. That was the look she wanted.
“Have a look.”
After Nicole had moved to the side, Harvey stared at himself in the mirror. He could hardly recognize himself, for he seemed like a completely different person, as if the former Harvey Ellison had died. Indeed, the present Harvey Ellison looked like an average Joe.
Chapter 1353
The beauty adviser noticed that Nicole was abusing the samples, but just as she was about to say something, Nicole whipped out some cash and placed it in front of the mirror. Then, she brought Harvey out of the store.
Meanwhile, the beauty adviser watched as the two of them left the store, and thought that they were very strange.
Nicole then ignited engine and drove Harvey to the restaurant. After covering a considerable distance, Nicole stopped at a junction near the establishment.
‘You should get down here. After you walk past the junction in front, turn right and you’ll see that restaurant.” Nicole instructed.
‘Where will you be waiting for me? Do you have any weapons I could use to defend myself?” Harvey looked at Nicole nervously.
“I’ll leave the car here, but I’ll keep an eye on the situation from a small shop across the restaurant,” she replied.
‘Don’t panic if you’re in danger. If possible, try to protect yourself and cough three times. That way, I’d know you’re in trouble and I’ll come to get you right away.” Nicole continued instructing as she looked him in the eye.
“Alright, understood,” he said.
‘I’ll go now.” Harvey took a hard look at Nicole’s eyes and got out of the car.
Then, he made a beeline for the restaurant.
Nicole wore the cap and scarf she had just bought at the mall moments ago. After making sure that she had disguised herself, Nicole got down from the car and made her way to the small shop across the restaurant.
Concurrently, Jared’s phone began to ring.
“Sir, we’ve noticed a guy walking into the restaurant. He looks like Mr. Ellison,” Jared’s men who were camping outside of the restaurant reported to Jared.
“Are you talking about Harvey Ellison?” Jared asked.
‘The guy looks like him, but we aren’t sure if it is.”
“Keep a close eye and report to me immediately if anything happens.” Jared ordered them coldly.
“Understood,” they said.
Jared began to ponder after he had hung up. ‘Why would Harvey go to such a place? They must have been mistaken.1
Then, he continued working.
Nicole entered the shop, ordered a drink, and sat at a corner by the window. Then, she began to observe the restaurant directly across from where she was.
Once Harvey had entered the restaurant, he glanced around, chose a seat and asked for food. Then, he began putting up an act.
Just as Nicole had anticipated, his acting successfully captured the owner’s attention; the owner first served him a few side dishes. Then, he brought a few bottles of beer over and began to engage Harvey in a conversation.
As the previous mission was unsuccessful, the owner had gotten an earful from his employer. This time, he wished to acquire someone smarter than Hugh, so that the mission would be a successful one. That way, he could regain his reputation and standing in the eyes of his boss.
As the owner was sizing Harvey up, he could feel that the latter was much more intelligent than Hugh. That was the reason he had approached Harvey and tested him anyway. Hugh had already been exposed once, and therefore, he could not be of any use in the mission anymore. Such was the reason as to why the owner had to procure the next person for the job.
“Brother, you seem to be a little younger than me. If you’re facing any problems, you can take me for a friend and tell me all about it. You’d feel better after letting it all out.” The owner looked at Harvey and said in an attempt to test him.
Harvey looked at him and knew that the owner had taken the bait.
Therefore, Harvey took it to the next stage and began to concoct a tragic life story. His acting skills were so superb that he managed deceived the owner completely.
Seeing that Harvey was so young, and yet had to endure such a tragic life, the owner chatted with and tested him for a while longer.
After that, he let his guard down and asked, “Brother, since your family is in a difficult position, have you ever thought of doing something to turn your life around and live better?”
As the owner had already suggested it, Harvey mustered a pitiful reply, “Of course I’ve thought about it. It’s just that I don’t have the skills and qualifications required. How am I supposed to change my life?”
Seeing that there was no one around them, the owner recommended someone to Harvey secretly. Harvey’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard it. The person which the owner had recommended was just as Nicole had said; it was Ms. Jo.
Chapter 1354
Hearing that, Harvey gave the owner an obvious look of disbelief. “How could there be something so good in this world? And I could earn this much money? That’s unbelievable!”
The owner could tell that Harvey did not believe him. He began to feel annoyed, ’Why is he not buying what I’d said yet?*
’It’s true! Just a few days ago, someone had already received the money. I’m not lying to you!” the owner said to Harvey in utmost seriousness.
Harvey continued to act as though he was in disbelief, and pretended to think fora moment.
Then, he said, “If what you said is true, let me meet Ms. Jo.
“Otherwise, I won’t be able to buy that. Why would money fall from the sky and land directly on my palms?” Harvey muttered.
The owner stared at Harvey while looking troubled. It seemed that Harvey had really given him a run for his money.
’You’ll take the job as soon as you meet Ms. Jo?” the owner asked as he looked at Harvey sternly.
‘Yes. As long as I get to meet Ms. Jo and see her in person, I’ll be at ease. Otherwise, it’ll feel like I’m doing something illegal!” Harvey whimpered, deliberately giving the owner a look of fear.
The owner took a deep breath and stared at Harvey for a long time. Then, he said, “Fine, since we’ve discussed it to such lengths, I’ll try my best to let you see her.
“But I must tell you this, Ms. Jo would never agree to meet you. The only thing I can do is to bring you to her. After you’ve taken a single glance of her, you must leave with me immediately. I won’t allow you to get me into hot soup,” the owner asserted sternly.
‘If you agree to do the job, I’ll take you to her immediately. If not, you may forget about it,” he added.
“Fine.” Harvey chugged his beer down and agreed.
‘Follow me.’ The owner took his apron off and brought Harvey to the car outside.
The second Harvey walked out, he casually looked around and got into the owner’s car. Once the engine had been ignited, they drove off into the distance.
Once Nicole noticed that Harvey was being brought away in a car by someone, she exited the shop at once and hurried to her car. Then, she proceeded to tail the car from behind.
Concurrently, Jared was in the midst of a meeting when he received a text message from one of his men. [The restaurant owner had left with the guy.]
[Get some of our men to follow them. Be sure to keep an eye on the restaurant too.]
[Understood.]
“My little brother, remember that I’m the one who initiated this meeting between you and Ms. Jo. Don’t you ever tell anyone about this, or else, I won’t let go of you,” the owner warned Harvey as he was driving.
’Don’t worry. If you really have introduced me to such a good opportunity to earn some money and turn my life around, I’d be more nothing but grateful to you. Once I get the money, don’t forget to send me
your account number. I’ll transfer some of it to you,” Harvey said, trying to build a relationship with the owner.
The owner beamed upon hearing those words, and with a wide grin, he said, “I can tell we’ll have a good relationship brother. You really are a smart guy.”
Both of them proceeded to chat and laugh throughout the journey, and before they knew it, they had already arrived at the location where the McCarthy family were performing their ceremony.
“Brother, we’re here. Let’s go,’ the owner said as he looked at Harvey.
Little did he know that Nicole had also followed them to the ceremonial venue from afar.
Upon arrival, she recognized the place immediately. ‘This is exactly where the McCarthy family is performing their ceremony today.’
Nicole then parked her car at a secluded spot and waited for them quietly.
Chapter 1355
Little did Nicole know that Jared’s men had been hiding behind the scenes, keeping an eye on the entire situation.
Harvey, on the other hand, saw the line of cars parked in front of him and recalled the live broadcast he saw at the restaurant earlier.
‘Are there other families holding their ceremony here in addition to the McCarthys?’ Harvey questioned in his mind.
The owner was already several feet away by then. Once he turned around, he found Harvey standing still right next to his car.
“Brother, why are you standing there? Follow me,” he called out, thinking that Harvey was intimidated by the sheer grandness of the ceremony.
The further they went, the more men in suits they spotted. The owner was trying really hard to coalesce into the crowd while bringing Harvey along with him. After an interminable period of attempting to push their way in, Harvey was on the verge of giving up, because his feet were repeatedly threaded on by the people around him.
Yet, he could only endure the pain quietly and squeeze through the crowd with the owner.
Suddenly, the owner halted, with Harvey trying his best to squeeze his way to the owner’s side.
Then, he whispered into the owner’s ears, “Which one of them is Ms. Jo?”
As there were too many people, the owner only managed to spot Ms. Jo on the right side after a moment of searching.
Not daring to point at her, he could only whisper back to Harvey, “Look to your right, the second lady in front is Ms. Jo.”
Harvey followed the owner’s direction, his eyes ranging to the second person on the right, and when he did look over, his gaze was locked on the aforementioned person at once. ‘Isn’t that Joyce?’
Initially, he was ready to take a quick snapshot of her, but it seemed to him that there was no need for that. After he had identified who Ms. Jo was, he
immediately lowered his head in fear of being recognized by Joyce.
When the owner noticed Harvey looking down, he asked, “Why are you looking down? Have you seen her?”
Harvey turned to the owner and nodded. The owner understood him and quietly brought him back to the car.
Meanwhile, Nicole had been waiting in the car for hours, and yet Harvey had not reappeared. She had not received any emergency signals from him either. Therefore, she did not dare to get down from the car to find him. All she could do was sit and wait for him patiently
After a long while, two men made their way down from the hill and approached the car. Nicole fixed her eyes on them, and saw that they were Harvey and the owner.
Seeing that they left as soon as they had entered their vehicle, Nicole started her engine as well, and tailed them from afar, with Jared’s men following them at the very end of the convoy.
In the car, the owner went on to explain all the duties and responsibilities to Harvey. He also promised him that once the job was done, Ms. Jo would definitely transfer the money over to him on time. In response, Harvey expressed his trust in the owner.
When they had reached the city, Harvey requested the owner to pull over and drop him at the side of the road. Then, he made his way into a mall.
Once the owner saw that Harvey had disappeared into the mall, he drove off. Noticing the owner, Nicole did not get down from her car in a rush to find Harvey. Instead, she sent him a text.
[He might still be watching you near the mall, so I can’t come and get you now. However, you’re not in any danger. We’ll meet at the Golden Coast Building.]
[Alright.] Harvey quickly sent her a short reply as soon as he had read the message.
Then, he pretended to act as if all was normal, and proceeded to make a few rounds in the mall before leaving.
Jared’s men, on the other hand, had followed the owner back to the restaurant. They had also reported the whole situation to Jared.
Concurrently, Nicole had returned to her office in the Golden Coast Building, and was already waiting for Harvey to meet her.
After about ten minutes, Harvey appeared outside the office building.
He was worried that the owner had followed him there, so he had not changed into his old clothes and had instead entered the building immediately. After making sure that the owner was not there, Harvey strode into the elevator and reached Nicole’s office in short order.
