Ch. 1436..1440: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1436-1440
Chapter 1436
A few days later, Nicole was having breakfast downstairs. She unintentionally lifted her head and saw a group of men dressed in black walking toward the restaurant.
She immediately dropped her hat lower and walked toward the kitchen at the back.
"Hello there, May I be of assistance? This is the kitchen, and the oil and fumes are quite heavy,” a waiter looked at Nicole while saying.
"I want to go to the supermarket behind here to buy something. I'm in a rush, so can I leave from this side?” Nicole acted like a girl with special conditions. The waiter, who was also a female, understood it very well. So she immediately brought her out.
The moment Nicole's front foot stepped out the backdoor, the men in black stepped into the restaurant. They coldly surveyed the place and did not find Nicole's presence.
"Gentlemen, are you here for a meal or something else?” The foreign waiter had seen everything, so a few men dressed in black leather coats were not very scary.
"Have you seen this person?" The men in black had managed to obtain Nicole's picture from the previous hotel she was in.
"It's a little familiar. Let me think carefully," The waiter looked at the picture and felt she had seen this person somewhere.
Suddenly, she remembered, ‘Isn't this the girl who left from the back door just now?’
"This person just left from the back door," The server said to the black- clothed man.
"Just now?’ They were a step behind again, but it's better than having a broken lead.
"Track her!” A few men in black immediately rushed toward the backdoor to chase her. At the same time, they sent the location to the man with the crew cut.
The crew-cut man received it and quickly rushed the others. Nicole hailed a cab to escape farther away. The dark-clothed men saw Nicole get in a taxi and swiftly drove their vehicles to pursue her.
Nicole sat in the car and looked back constantly. The men in black had already caught up.
"Young lady, where do you want to go?" The cab driver asked.
"I want to go to the outskirts. But could you drive a little faster?” Nicole said with a slightly anxious tone.
"Okay, but the price to the outskirts is very high!" The driver reminded her in good faith.
"No problem. As long as you drive a little faster,” Nicole said.
"That's fine. You sit tight!” The driver's foot hit the gas pedal, and the vehicle suddenly lurched forward.
Nicole suddenly leaned into the seat and felt like another colossal hand was dragging the car and running swiftly forward. The men in black also did not hesitate. When they saw the vehicle Nicole sat in sped up, they also stepped harder on the gas pedal to pursue her. Just like that, the cab was chased by the dark-clothed men through the city without the knowledge of the cab driver.
The road in the cities was complicated. The driver zoomed through the streets and alleys. His driving skills were proficient. On the other hand, due to the unfamiliarity of the terrain, the men in black had a close encounter with a person with a wheelbarrow on the opposite side of the road when they were turning at an intersection. The men in the car were also injured.
Nicole snickered when she saw this. The driver heard her laughter, looked at her through the rear-view mirror, and asked, ' What are you laughing about?”
“Nothing,” She certainly could not tell the driver someone was pursuing her from behind.
However, the driver saw the cars following from behind through the rearview mirror. His years of driving experience told him the few cars behind were pursuing her.
Due to overseas countries being seldom safe, a cab being robbed was normal. Hence, cab drivers were trained to have fantastic driving skills. He blew a puff of smoke in disdain, then nonchalantly shifted gears and swerved into another alley.
Nicole sat in the car, watching the foreign buildings. She did not know where the driver had brought her. But as long as she was in the city, she could not make a move.
Chapter 1437
“Mister, where are we going now?’ Nicole looked at the driver and asked.
“This scenery is unique, so I’m bringing you here for a spin. Relax, I won’t charge for this stretch of road. I can bring you for a ride for free,” Instead, the driver was looking for an excuse to ditch the people chasing them.
Nicole heard and immediately explained, “Mister, I have urgent business to attend to. Well see the scenery next time.”
“Alright,” The driver promised, but his car still drove into the narrow alleyway. The men in black pursued them into the alley and stopped to check.
“Why did you stop?” The crew-cut man asked.
“Boss, it doesn’t seem easy to fit into this narrow alleyway,” one of them answered.
“What is there to not go in for? Did you not see that cab driven in? If you dilly dally, that person will run off again,” The crew-cut man smacked the subordinate who was driving and cursed at him.
“Catch up to them quickly!” The man with the crew cut ordered. His subordinate could only drive the car slowly into the alley.
“Over there. Quickly, catch up,” the crew-cut man saw the cab and pointed his finger. When they caught up, the taxi turned into another alley.
“Quickly! Why are you so slow!?” The crew-cut man scolded continuously on the side.
“Boss, this is too narrow. We are unfamiliar with the road conditions, and it’s not easy to drive in,” the subordinate explained in aggrievance.
“What gibberish! Bring out the skills you always boast,” the subordinate innocently suffered another crew-cut man’s slaps.
Suddenly, an intersection appeared in front of them. The car turned into it and disappeared. The man with the crew cut looked around, “Where did they disappear!?”
“Turn right. And the vehicle behind us, turn left,” the crew-cut man ordered into the walkie-talkie. So the two cars separated and drove in two different directions.
Suddenly, the crew-cut man saw the cab not far away, “Over there. Quickly drive over there.”
The cab stopped there as if waiting for them. Seeing the crew-cut man’s car getting closer, the cab driver immediately started the engine and drove into the alley next to it. The frustrated crew-cut man quickly ordered them to chase. But just as the car drove into the middle of the alley, a tire suddenly dropped from above. Once it crashed into the crew-cut man’s car, the top of the vehicle was banged.
The person on top even popped out their head to look down. Turns out they were fixing a car and accidentally let the tire run. This mechanic shop would often have these accidents occur. If the tire did not crash into anyone, then they would go down and retrieve it. However, if the tire crashes into something, they will not want it as the compensation would be more expensive than the tire.
This incident was known to everyone in the surrounding area. So anyone who would pass through it was careful every time.
Nicole saw the incident through the windshield and could not help but laugh. The driver also drew a smirk. He put his foot on the pedal and drove off.
Thankfully, the car was still drivable. It was just that the people inside were suffering too much. They needed to bend down. After driving for a while, the crew-cut man called for the vehicle to stop. He stretched his arms to open the door, but the top of the car was dented due to the crash. This caused the car door to not open.
In a rage, the crew-cut man kicked the door open and quickly left the car to rest. Only then did he feel slightly better.
“Boss, the car has driven off. Should we continue chasing it?” One of the subordinates asked.
“Chase it, of course! We need to chase it!” Crew-cut man yelled out. He immediately took out the walkie-talkie and ordered the other car to follow the cab.
Chapter 1438
Thinking that the men in black had been taken care of by the driver, Nicole felt relieved. ‘1 didn’t have to lift a finger, and someone else takes care of the matter. That’s great!’
Nicole thought she did not need to go all the way to the suburbs. She wanted to ask the driver to send her back. Just as she was about to speak, a car filled with men in black suddenly pulled up in front of the taxi and blocked their way.
‘That’s it. I guess I’ll have to go to the suburbs after all,’ Nicole said silently in her heart.
The two cars stopped at the intersection while facing each other. The driver was smoking his cigarette calmly while looking at the car in front of him.
On the other hand, the man in black fiercely stared at the taxi in front. The driver stepped onto the accelerator from time to time, making the car roar.
After staring for a while, the men in black began to feel impatient. They wanted to get down from the car and take Nicole. As they were about to push the door open, Nicole’s car sped forward, threatening to crash into them. All they wanted was to catch Nicole, not die with her. Seeing
Nicole’s car speed up, they quickly pushed their door open and jumped out of the car.
Unexpectedly, the taxi brushed past their car and drove into the alley. Once the men in black noticed that the taxi was not going to run into them, they quickly got back into the car and chased after Nicole.
From his rear-view mirror, the driver noticed that the men had followed them. Then, he began to maneuver around the alley to shake them off.
When they passed by an alley, no one was blocking in front, but the driver honked and drove into it.
When the men in black drove past them, a bag of flour fell from the sky and covered their car instantly. The windshield was covered with a layer of flour, causing them to lose sight of the road.
The men in black sprayed some water on the windshield, thinking it would help him see the road ahead. However, when he turned on the wiper, the whole windshield was covered with flour paste. That made it even more troublesome, and it would have been easier if they got down and wiped it off.
In desperation, they stopped the car to clean off the water and flour on their windshield.
The taxi driver stopped the car not far from them and looked behind. After that, he drove out of the alley.
Since no cars were tailing them from behind anymore, the driver drove to the suburbs. Nicole also knew that the men in black did not have any vehicles to use, so they would not be able to find her anytime soon. She spoke to the driver, “Sir, I don’t feel like going to the suburbs anymore.Please send me to Mason Lane.”
“Miss, I’d advise you not to go to Mason Lane. Rumor has it that the area has been quite dangerous recently,” the driver kindly reminded her.
“I know. Just drop me off there,” Nicole replied expressionlessly.
“Alright,” the driver replied without concern. Then, he drove the car and headed toward Mason Lane.
The journey to Mason Lane was quite long. So, Nicole whipped out her phone to check on Jared’s situation whenever she felt bored in the car.
The surroundings looked exactly like how it was when she left. Jared was quietly lying there and in a deep sleep. She zoomed into his lashes and noticed that they were still. Nicole sighed. “When are you going to wake up?
At the hospital, Martin noticed that the surveillance camera was moving. He smiled at the camera and waved. When Nicole saw him waving, she moved the camera to greet him.
“Nicole, can you hear me?” Martin looked at the camera and asked. He wanted to know if that thing worked and make sure it was not a useless product.
Nicole moved the camera again to signal that she could hear him.
“Nicole, you should be able to speak too, right?”
Nicole checked the application and adjusted the setting. Then, she said, “Is everything fine on your side?’
“I can hear you now. Everything is fine here.” Martin replied to Nicole.
Nicole felt that it was interesting that she could use the camera to communicate with Martin. Then, she chatted with Martin for a while.
While they talked, the driver had brought them to Mason Lane.
He parked the car and turned to Nicole. “We’re here.”
Nicole looked out and saw that the streets were quite empty. It was almost like a dead town.
Chapter 1439
After paying the taxi fee, Nicole got down from the car.
“Martin, I’ll talk to you later. Bye.” Nicole quit the surveillance application and walked forward.
It was still bright outside, but no one was on the road, and the shops on both sides of the street were mostly closed.
Nicole pushed a door to one restaurant and walked in, “Hello?”
Hearing someone’s voice, the owner quickly came out from the back of the shop. When he saw that it was a woman, he said, “How may I help you?”
“Do you have noodles here?”
“Yes.”
“I’d like to have one.”
“Alright, please have a seat.” As soon as the owner finished speaking, he went to the back kitchen.
Nicole pulled a chair and sat down. She scanned the whole place and looked outside.
After a while, the owner brought a hot bowl of noodles to Nicole. ’Here are your noodles.”
“Alright. Thank you.”
Just as Nicole was about to dig in, two men in black uniforms suddenly emerged from the opposite shop. Then, another man chased after them and talked to them. It seemed like those two men did not pay for their items.
The next second, the man who was chasing the two men was beaten to the ground by them. One of them even wanted to take something out of his pocket, but he was stopped by his partner. Cursing, the two men left.
Nicole and the shop owner witnessed the whole incident from the window. Then, Nicole asked the owner, “Who are those two men? Why did they beat him up?”
The owner looked at Nicole and asked, “You must be new here?”
Nicole nodded.
“The situation here is quite complicated. A few days back, a group of people dominated this place. No one knows where they’re from, either. They’ve been messing with the atmosphere and the lives of the people here at Mason Lane. No one dares to step out of their houses now. Even the shops rarely open for business. As you’ve seen, Mason Lane is like a living hell right now. Anyone who bumps into them would be in trouble!” After the owner had finished explaining, he let out a long sigh.
Nicole’s eyes gradually darkened. ‘These people must be from a gangster organization. There wouldn’t be any other group who could turn Mason Lane upside down.’
“Didn’t the local authorities step in to solve this matter?” Nicole asked the owner.
“They’ve stepped in many times. But this group of people is unstoppable. The authorities are at their wit’s end and have already decided to give up.”
“I see.”
“Enjoy your meal. You better leave here as soon as possible after you’ve finished eating,” the owner kindly reminded her.
Nicole smiled at him politely and picked up her utensils to eat.
After she had finished her food, Nicole settled the bill and walked out of the noodle shop. In order to not attract any attention from the gangsters, Nicole purposely covered herself up tightly.
However, there was no one on the streets. No matter how tight she tried to cover herself, the gangster could easily spot her.
Sure enough, a few moments after Nicole walked out of the shop, the two men who had just beaten someone up blocked her way.
Chapter 1440
The bearded man noticed Nicole’s beautiful eyes and moved closer to her. “Hey, pretty lady, do you want us to send you home?”
Nicole glanced at the two of them and recognized that they were the two men who had just beaten up the shop owner.
Nicole had an idea and replied, “Sure, but my house is a little far.”
”That’s fine. My house is just nearby. Why don’t you come to my house and play for a while?” The bearded man raised his eyebrows and asked Nicole.
“Sure, but I’m not sure if there’s anything interesting at your house.” Nicole’s eyes seemed to have a deeper meaning behind her words.
“I have all kinds of interesting things at my house. We’ll bring you there now. ” As he was speaking, the two men brought Nicole into their car. One on the left and the other on the right.
One of the men in the car could not hold back and wanted to touch Nicole. Before his hands could reach Nicole, she immediately clamped his wrists.” Your hands seem to be naughty.”
“You have such strong hands, gorgeous.” After he said this, the man stretched out another hand toward Nicole.
The man who was driving knew that his partner was an impatient man. He could not help but shake his head. His partner had always made an impatient move in the car, and today was no exception.
Nicole grabbed the man’s hands and locked them, making him immovable.
“Is this comfortable enough?” Nicole asked. The man driving did not expect the girl to be so cooperative this time. Surprise flashed through his face.
“I didn’t expect you to be so good at this.” The man began to struggle and threw himself onto Nicole’s body.
Nicole leaned back, lifted her legs, and kicked the man out of the window. The man slammed to the ground heavily, spitting out blood.
The driver could feel that there was a huge commotion in the backseat. But he did not bother about it and continued driving.
All of a sudden, Nicole leaned toward him, surprising him.
“That was fast! I guess Andy’s stamina is getting worse by the day.” The driver jokingly mocked his partner, who had been kicked out of the window by Nicole.
“What about your stamina?” Nicole said in a low voice.
“My stamina is a lot better than his, of course,” the man said proudly.
“Really? Let me try.” Nicole stretched out her hand and pressed on his head. With a bit of pressure, she had caused pain to shoot through his head.
“Stop it! That really hurts!” he shouted.
Nicole did not stop. Instead, she put on more pressure. “Where is your boss?”
The man quickly came to his senses and asked, “Who are you?”
“Answer me!” Nicole continued to add pressure to her hand.
The man cried out in pain. “I don’t know!”
“What a stubborn mouth.” Then, she yanked one of his arms from the steering wheel, and the car began to sway from side to side.
The man had to try and stabilize the car while enduring the pain.
“No one has been able to endure my interrogation yet. Do you want to test that?” Nicole’s cold words filled his mind.
“Who the hell are you?” the man asked.
“You don’t have to know who I am. Tell me. Where is your boss?” Nicole repeated.
“I really don’t know! Even if you kill me, I don’t have the answer to your question.”
“Alright then. I’ll let you have a taste of death.” As Nicole spoke, she immediately removed his second arm and jumped out of the car.
