Ch. 1426..1430: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1426-1430

Chapter 1426

I’ll think of something. You’ve got to hold out for a while longer. After I’ve gotten the authorization, I will send The Braves over to stand in for you.”

“Okay.” The group said, and went off to execute Carl’s order at once.

From outside of the control room, Olaf rushed over, barging through the door, and went up to Carl’s side.

“How did it go?” Carl looked at him and asked.

‘They’ve agreed. The higher ups have given US the authorization. All of the units in the base are now under your command,” Olaf handed the authorization code to Carl.

As soon as he had acquired the authorization, Carl immediately ordered The Braves to take position at each gate and launched a counteroffensive against The Raven once. Almost instantly, the tide of the battle turned as Carl marched The Braves to the gates. The men cooperated with the Braves as they emptied the magazines on the Ravens.

The battle transpired over the night, with both sides engaging each other fiercely. The Raven, who had always relied on their heavy artillery, were easily defeated after Carl had gotten authorization over the Braves.

Carl ascended to the rooftop and called Nicole following their successful victory in defending the base.

“Hey, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?” Carl asked sharply when he saw that Nicole was taking longer to answer the phone.

“I was busy moments ago. How’s everything on your end? Have you received the Beacons I’ve sent to you?” Nicole’s tone was filled with concern.

“Everything’s fine on my side. We’ve just succeeded in defending the base against The Raven.” Carl said, reporting the good news to her, as he did not wish to make her anxious.

“I’ve yet to receive the shipment. Perhaps it’s on the way. Well, even if it has arrived, it won’t be easy for US to get it, as members of The Raven are just right outside.”

“How many Beacons do you have left? Is it enough?” Nicole asked, worried.

“Yeah, there is enough to go around,” he replied. “Don’t worry.”

Carl had previously counted the quantity of Beacons before heading up to the rooftop. ’Half of our entire stock had been used up, the new shipment isn’t coming in, and things are getting worse, as our defense efforts are getting more challenging.’

“That’s great. I’ll come over to help you out after I’m done with my work here,” she said.

Nicole’s words were like a beacon of bright light in the darkness, giving Carl the hope he never thought he needed. Although Carl would like it if Nicole fought side by side with him, he had to decline the offer.

“Oh, it’s fine,” he said. “You can rest easy, knowing that nothing will go wrong here. The Raven isn’t that big of an issue. You should focus on your job back at home.”

‘Well, you’re the best!” Nicole said. “Be vigilant, and don’t ever let your guard down.”

Nicole knew Carl’s character all too well, which was why she did not argue with him, opting instead to give her words of encouragement.

“Don’t worry. I’ll see you after the missions are over,” Carl said over the phone.

“Sure, you should hurry up now,” Nicole urged.

“Of course,” he said. “Anyway, I have to go now.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Carl returned to the main control room and continued to deploy his defenses all over base. Meanwhile, Nicole was busy cracking the last key for Zeke.

Nicole heaved a long sigh of relief as she had finally found the last secret key. She had lived up to Zeke’s expectation, owing to her ability to decipher the encryption for the task.

Chapter 1427

‘I don’t know where he is and how he’s doing now.’ Nicole thought.

She was planning to contact Zeke, but was then met with an unexpected pop-up alert on her computer.

‘There is a delayed alarm that has always been hidden,’ she surmised.’ Once the codes have been deciphered, it’ll still be triggered regardless if the mission was a success or not. My location has been locked into as soon as I’ve cracked it.’

Nicole immediately recognized the seriousness of the matter and called Martin.

‘Martin, I have something urgent that I need to tend to, and I have to leave for the time being. As for Jared…I’ll leave him to you.” Nicole shot Jared a glance while talking to Martin on the phone.

“What happened?” Martin asked, confused by Nicole’s sudden phone call, as well as her odd request.

’I don’t have time to explain to you now. I’ll explain everything once I get back. I have to leave right away, so can you get here before I leave?” Nicole asked, her tone brimming with impatience.

“Okay. I’ll come over right away,” he agreed.

It was Martin’s first-time hearing Nicole being so impatient.

After hanging up, Nicole quickly packed her laptop and her belongings, ready to leave at any given moment. She then walked over to Jared’s hospital bed before leaning over to kiss him on the forehead.

“Jared, I may have to leave for a bit. You have to wake up as soon as possible, and when I come back, I hope to see the old you again.”

The door of the ward was suddenly thrown open by Martin, who walked in quickly and went up to her to ask, ’ Nicole, what is it that you’re in such a hurry for? You have not completed your recovery yet. It’s not advisable for you to go out.” Martin looked at Nicole with concern, as he did not want things to turn out the way they did, like last time.

“Don’t worry about me, I’m fine. While I’m away, I’ll leave Jared to you. Please, take good care of him for me!” Nicole looked at Martin earnestly, for she trusted him the most.

“Don’t you worry, I’ll take good care of him. Where are you heading? You should at least give me for a heads-up, right?” Martin asked, feeling that Nicole was behaving a little too strangely.

‘Why is it that she suddenly has to leave on a business trip?’ he thought. ‘To top it all, all of this sounds very suspicious.’

‘The less people know about this, the better. I’m not telling you for your own sake.” Nicole glanced at the time. ‘I have to leave, I can’t stay here.’

Martin’s lowered his gaze. ‘Is it possible that she’s going out there to do something risky?’

“Nicole, you can’t go about doing stuff that’ll get you killed!”

“There’s nothing dangerous about it,” she said. “It’s just a business trip abroad. What are you so nervous about? Things just came up, and when they did, I just have to go.”

“Okay, I have to leave now. I’ll call you when I have the time.” Nicole gave Jared one last glance after she had spoken, whereupon she left in a hurry.

Martin watched as Nicole left. He wanted to follow to see what was going on, but with Jared’s life entrusted to him, he could not leave the latter alone in the ward without anyone to tend to him.

Martin took his phone out and called Harvey, Mr. Ellison, Nicole just…”

“Okay, I got it. I’ll head to the airport right away.” Harvey hung up and drove to the airport at once.

Nicole sat in a taxi while inquiring about the latest flight. ‘I have to go somewhere safe before I get myself exposed.’

Then, at the airport, while Nicole was going through security checks, Harvey rushed in, looking around for Nicole at the seating area.

Soon, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and that was when he loudly shouted, ’Nicole!”

Nicole heard a familiar voice calling out to her and looked up to see that it was Harvey. ‘What is he doing here!?’

She quickly ducked down, before she grabbed her belongings and boarded the plane.

Chapter 1428

Harvey noticed that Nicole had no intention of waiting for him, and so, he rushed toward the security checkpoint, trying to catch up to her, but was stopped.

’Excuse me sir, but you cant venture past this point without a ticket,” the terminal guard said.

“My friend is over there. I just want to talk to her for a minute,” Harvey anxiously explained as he glanced over at the direction that Nicole was at.

“I’m sorry, but you can’t enter.”

Seeing that the security personnel refused would never let him pass, he was left with no choice but to make a run for the counter and purchase a ticket. Unfortunately, he was told that the ticket sales had stopped.

Harvey clenched his fists angrily, wishing to argue with the agent, but he knew that they were just doing their jobs and following the policies laid out by the company.

Harvey then suppressed his anger and asked, ‘In that case, could you help me find out where that plane is going?”

“Okay, just a moment sir/ the agent said, before returning a moment later. ’ Excuse me sir, the plane is headed to Lanningbourg.”

’Lanningbourg…?’ Harvey frowned while thinking about it.

“What time is the next flight to Lanningbourg?” Harvey asked.

“The next flight to Lanningbourg is an hour from now.”

“Okay, thanks.”

Harvey then left the ticket counter and went to an empty place to call Martin.

“How’s it going? Did you manage to catch up to her?” Martin asked in an inquiring tone of voice.

“I almost caught up to her! She saw me, and that was when she turned around and left. If it was not for the security getting in my way, I would have stopped her,” Harvey said in defeat.

“Oh…” Martin uttered, feeling a little disappointed as well.

“However, I was told that Nicole’s flight is bound for Lanningbourg. There’s another flight in an hour. I’ll take this flight to find her/ Harvey divulged, explained his plan to Martin.

“Since she didn’t want you around her, I don’t think it’ll be necessary for you to follow her there. She must have her reasons. If you follow her there, you might ruin her plans,” Martin replied.

Harvey hesitated after hearing Martin’s comprehensive consideration of the current situation.

Harvey then sat down, and carefully, he began to recall the scene when he saw Nicole earlier. ‘Nicole had taken me to Lanningbourg before. Earlier, she pretended as though she did not know me. Why did she do that? Was someone tailing her? Was she afraid that she’ll get me into trouble?’

After some careful consideration, he decided not to follow Nicole to Lanningbourg. ‘If Nicole needed my help, she would definitely have contacted me. What Martin said was right. If I rush over to find her, I might cause her unexpected trouble.’

After his impulsive thoughts had tapered off, Harvey regained his composure and watched as the plane took off.

‘Although I don’t know what you are going to do. I hope you come back safely, Nicole,’ Harvey said in his heart before walking out the airport in big strides.

Then, he returned to his office.

On the plane, Nicole was relieved to see that Harvey had not managed to catch up to her, or else, it would be troublesome for her to take care of him. She lowered her hat a little, after which she took her phone out and sent a text to Zeke.

Where are you?

After a while, Nicole received a message from Zeke.

I’m hiding in Honveher. There’s a lot of people hunting for me, which is why

I haven’t been contacting you.

I’m in Lanningbourg. Hide well, so that you don’t get discovered. I’ll go and pick you up when I’ve managed to lose the person who is tailing me.

Cool. I’ll wait for you.

Chapter 1429

[Don't worry. I'll come and get you. I still need to hand you the Reby Family Crest]

[The Reby Family Crest? You've acquired it?]

Zeke was over the moon as soon as he heard the news. ‘This is the best news I've heard in days!"

[Yes. You've got to hang in there. The badge is very cool.]

[Can you send me a photo of it?] Zeke asked.

[Okay, I'll send you a picture after I've settled down_]

[Alright then. I think it's time for US to go offline now. We can't linger any longer, or the risk of US being caught increases. ]

[Ok.]

One after another, the two of them went offline.

Nicole placed her hat on her face, after which she closed her eyes and fell asleep. ‘There's no danger on the plane.’

Hours passed, and upon feeling a shake, Nicole was jolted awake.

Then, she looked out of the window to notice that the plane had landed. She took her backpack, got off the plane and left the airport.

Nicole was aware that Carl was in this country as well, but her first priority was to hide and find out who the person who had been tailing her was. She hailed a cab and went to the hotel she had just booked.

Arriving at the hotel shortly after, she scanned the surroundings outside of the building before walking in.

Nicole approached the front desk, whereupon she checked herself in. A staff member then guided her to her reserved room.

"This is the room you've booked. Have a good rest and call the front desk if you need anything," the staff said to her warmly.

"Okay, thank you.”

After the staff had left, Nicole opened the door and walked in. She immediately locked the door after entering. Then, she began to check the security of the room, inspecting every nook and cranny to ensure that it was safe before placing her backpack down.

After that, she pulled the curtains aside and looked down, the view clear and wide. ‘If anything happens, I'll be able to see it clearly.’

Nicole poured herself a glass of water before taking her laptop out to check on the task and surely enough, her hunches were confirmed.

‘The alarm was triggered, and someone was already on my tail,’ she reflected. ‘Thankfully, I left the hospital in the nick of time, or else, Jared would be involved. Leaving him there was the best option to keep him safe. Judging by how quickly I have left the country, it would take a while for them to find me.’

‘Now I just have to get the badge I've promised Zeke.’ Nicole thought, as she had told Zeke that she had already acquired the badge in order to give him some hope and motivation.

Her slender fingers then darted across the keyboard as she committed herself to cracking the final key.

‘If everything goes well, I will be done in half an hour.’

Meanwhile, Martin had found himself unable to take care of Jared on a constant basis, as he had a factory that he needed to run. With Jared left in a vegetative state, and with

Max and Claus busy with the affairs of the Johnston Group, he was the only one left to manage things in the Beacon factory.

‘If I leave, who will be here to take care of Jared? Martin pondered for a long while.

When Harvey came to mind, he shook his head and said, "Harvey can't do this. He has never gotten along with Jared. Harvey will never be able to take care of him."

"Who else can I entrust...?" A beautiful face then came to mind.

"Aside from Nicole, she is the only one who has demonstrated utter sincerity to Jared."

After he had though out loud, Martin took his mobile phone out and dialed a number.

"Why are you calling me, Mr. Wyance?” Fiorella asked in surprise.

She had just returned to her office after a meeting when Martin called.

 

Chapter 1430

"Miss Fisher, there's something you may not know, so I have called you to tell you about it. It is something that you should know."

Fiorella was left confused after hearing what Martin had just said, ‘What is it that I should know, and what is it that I shouldn't? What is he talking about?’

“Listen, Mr. Wyance. I don't know what you've been reading as of recent, but I would appreciate if you don't speak in riddles. Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me directly if you have anything to say," Fiorella calmly said.

"Well, as you're no stranger to US, I'll just tell you about it right away."

"OK?"

"Mr. Johnston has been hospitalized after suffering some critical injuries," Martin explained, after which he paused, intent on hearing what Fiorella had to say.

"Critical injuries?! Fiorella leaped up from her chair the instant she heard that Jared had been hospitalized.

"What happened?! Which hospital is Jared in now?! Tell me. I'll head there right away.” Fiorella anxiously queried.

"Don't worry, Mr. Johnston is in my hospital,” Martin replied.

"Okay, I'll be there right away.” Fiorella hung up and hurried out of the office.

As soon as she had exited the room, she ran into her assistant, who said, ’ There's a contract I need you to look into, Miss Fisher."

"Put it on my desk. There's someplace I need to be."

After giving her assistant that curt reply, she hurried into the elevator, prompting her assistant to look at her with brows furrowed.

Where is she going, and why is she in such a hurry?’

Fiorella arrived at the hospital in less than ten minutes. She followed the location that Martin had sent her, and in no time, she found Jared's ward, which was situated in a private floor. However, before she could enter, one of the bodyguards stopped her at the door.

"You're not allowed in there."

"I'm Fiorella Fisher."

“I said, no one is allowed inside."

"You!"

Martin, who had heard the commotion outside, hurried over and pushed the door open.

“Let her in. I was the one who asked her to come,” Martin said to the bodyguard.

On any other day, Fiorella would have flown off the handle and taught the bodyguards a lesson for addressing her the way they did, but her grievances were secondary, as she then rushed in after Martin had opened the door for her.

Fiorella was instantly met with the sight of Jared lying on the hospital bed, surrounded by life support machines and a multitude of other medical equipment.

"Gosh, why does it look so serious?!" She stepped forward to examine Jared's condition.

"Mr. Johnston's injury has been treated. Now, he is on the road to recovery. We just have to wait for him to wake up.” Martin told Fiorella from the side.

"Well, when will he wake up?" Fiorella turned to look at Martin and asked.

"It's hard to tell. Mr. Johnston's head suffered immense blunt force trauma. He may wake up tomorrow, or maybe even longer..." Martin answered, uncertain as to when Jared

would wake up, for the rest would be dependent on Jared himself.

Fiorella issued a long sigh after hearing Martin's words. "How can this be...? w

‘l was at the reception with him last week. What is with this major and sudden change? Gosh, I don't I'll even be able to deal with this,’ she agonized.

Fiorella looked at Jared's closed eyes and could not help but blush at the sight of him.
