Ch. 3291..3295: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 3291-3295

Chapter 3291

"Can't believe he thought of that. Such a cunning person, yet he has his foolish moments," Doretta said through gritted teeth. "But Nicole would never agree to it." "Or maybe he has a way to make Nicole agree," Patricia said with a grave expression.

She was sure that if Lawrence had such plans, he must have prepared well. Fortunately, his plan to abduct Nolan and Lana failed, so he must be more cautious now.

"Mr. Johnston, could Ms. Riddle be in danger?" Patricia asked worriedly.

Jared's gaze darkened as he replied, "Not for the time being," though how long this would hold was uncertain.

He knew Lawrence's focus was likely on monitoring his movements, planning how to deal with him, and might not pay attention to Nicole for the moment. As long as Nicole acts quickly and successfully finds the secret passage, they could act at anytime.

"So, we need to buy time now," Patricia said, biting her lip slightly. "When are we planning to act?" "We're waiting for a message from Nicole," Doretta reassured Patricia." You should rest for now. I think we'll have a result in the next few days." "Okay,’ Patricia agreed.

"I'll continue to arrange for people to scout around the base," Charlie said with a solemn expression.

Disturbing Lawrence's focus was still necessary.

i’ll check with Zane to see if there's any reply from Carl and how things are being arranged," Doretta added.

After speaking, the three of them turned their eyes toward Jared, as if waiting for his orders.

Jared nodded slightly in approval, and the trio turned and left.

Jared's eyes narrowed slightly as he shifted his gaze toward the window, wondering, 'How is Nicole doing now?'

****

At this moment, in the base, Lawrence was indeed preoccupied with guarding against a potential attack from Jared, thanks to the diversion created by Charlie and Doretta's people. This lapse in surveillance allowed Nicole more freedom to move.

Noticing the absence of guards outside, Nicole quietly left her room.

She was aware of the commotion Charlie and Doretta were causing outside and understood they were drawing Lawrence's attention to assist her.

Now was her opportunity to act while unnoticed.

She thought that if she could successfully find the exit, they could close the net on Lawrence.

As she walked, Nicole suddenly noticed two people acting cautiously, as if scanning their surroundings. Convinced they were unobserved, they relaxed slightly and approached a stone wall.

"What are those two doing?’ Nicole murmured to herself, quietly following them.

She saw the two facing the wall, searching for something. After finding what they were looking for, they each took out an object resembling a token and inserted them into two recesses in the wall.

A crack appeared in the wall, which then slowly slid open.

'Could this be the secret passage?' Nicole guessed, holding her breath so as not to alert the two men.

After the men entered and the light inside turned on, they reemerged after a moment, carrying something round and bulky.

Chapter 3292

Nicole's curiosity piqued. 'If it's not an exit, then what are they doing?' The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed. In a moment of decision right before the two men were about to close the door, she suddenly appeared and knocked them unconscious.

She had a hunch that even if this wasn't the secret passage, it must be hiding some secret, so she had to find out.

Glancing at the two men lying on the ground, Nicole quickly entered through the stone wall door.

What's all this?" Nicole asked, amazed at what she saw.

Before her, about a dozen round, heavy objects had been carried out by two men. These objects were made of steel, with no fancy details, leaving Nicole puzzled about what they could be for.

She went up to one, touching it, hoping to find a switch or button that might show what it did.

But after trying everything she could think of and nothing happening, Nicole looked puzzled and said, "What are these? They can't just be big chunks of metal."

As she looked more closely, Nicole noticed a small symbol. This symbol was hard to see unless you were looking right at it.

The design of the symbol caught her eye because it looked both new and familiar.

"This symbol looks like it's from the 'Brave' robots, but not quite the same," Nicole observed, running her fingers over the symbol.

Suddenly, the object beeped and turned on.

A screen popped up where the symbol was, showing different commands.

Nicole was shocked.

These were combat robots. The symbol, similar to that of the Brave robots, suggested they were newer versions based on the Brave design, which was why the symbol was changed.

Nicole had no idea Lawrence could have something like this.

She wondered, 'How did Lawrence get these robots? And how could he make them?' "You shouldn't be here," Lawrence suddenly said, startling Nicole.

As Nicole turned to face him, she looked calm but her mind was full of thoughts.

She hadn't found the secret passage and knew Lawrence wouldn't let her look for it now. She also realized she needed to tell Jared and the others about these robots right away.

"I know you've been secretly talking to Doretta. Give it to me," Lawrence's voice got colder.

He had thought about ignoring Nicole's secret messages to catch her friends off guard. But after she found this place, he wasn't going to let her send any more messages.

As he finished speaking, someone came over to take her way to communicate.

Nicole quickly made a plan.

She hit the emergency button on her device and then tossed it to Lawrence.

She knew fighting back was useless but she had to do something quick.

Even though Jared and the team didn't know about the robots yet, if she could distract Lawrence for a bit, there might still be a chance to tell them.

After giving up her device, Nicole faced Lawrence and said, "I was just exploring. Didn't expect to find anything this interesting." "For your own good, don't go wandering around," Lawrence warned her.

Even though Nicole didn't say it, he knew she recognized the robots. Nicole was smart, especially with weapons, and since she had designed the original Brave robots, she would easily notice these were a new version.

Chapter 3293

Nicole just shrugged and said, it was just by chance."

That was all she could say casually, because admitting she was looking for a secret passage wasn't an option.

"Let's go back," Lawrence said; his expression darkened slightly.

He had been glad that Nicole had been easy to deal with up to this point, making things easier for him. But now, he suddenly felt uneasy.

Nicole walked in front with a calm face, leaving Lawrence to follow, deep in thought.

"Wake them up," he then ordered his men before he caught up to Nicole.

He wanted to make sure she got back to her room himself, as if that would help him relax a bit.

The men who had been knocked out were helped up by their teammates, looking confused. "What happened?" one of them asked.

"Just get back to work," was the reply before the helper hurried off.

The two, still a bit shaken, knew they had to get back to their tasks. They picked up one of the round robots and went to set it up for battle.

The whole place had been tense lately, like they were all waiting for something big to happen. Everyone was extra careful with what they did.

After Nicole was back in her room, Lawrence told his men, "Keep a close eye on her." "Yes," they responded, feeling the pressure of Lawrence's intense mood.

They tried to be as quiet as possible, not even daring to look up.

They only relaxed a bit after Lawrence was gone, but their faces were still serious, knowing they couldn't slip up.

Nicole had a clear view of the outside and sneered inwardly, 'Starting to take precautions now, isn't it too late?’

She was confident Doretta must have received her message by now and was probably discussing their next move.

With a slight narrowing of her eyes, Nicole sat down to calm herself, pondering over the robot situation.

Those round objects she was sure were weapon-grade robots. Despite their seemingly innocuous appearance, their lethality couldn't be underestimated. She even doubted whether 'Brave' could match up to these adversaries.

'Lawrence has really kept a card up his sleeve, a true sly fox through and through. No, I need to think this through, there might be a way to counter them...'

****

Meanwhile, after receiving the message, Doretta immediately reported to Jared.

Coincidentally, Zane had also returned. Now in the living room, Jared, Zane, Charlie, Doretta, and Patricia were gathered.

"She found the secret passage so quickly?" Zane frowned slightly.

Aware of Nicole's capabilities, he remained skeptical due to the fact that this was Lawrence's territory, wondering, 'Can she really move so freely?'

Biting her lip, Doretta said, "Actually, I just received the signal from Nicole to act. She didn't mention anything about the secret passage, and when I tried to reply, she was out of reach."

She was somewhat worried that something might have happened to

Nicole.

"How could it lose connection? Was it discovered?" Patricia's face paled slightly.

"It's uncertain, but I think we should act according to Nicole's wishes," Doretta said with determination.

Whether Nicole had found the secret passage or had been discovered and was in danger while searching for it, their only course of action now was to move immediately. This way, if Nicole was indeed in trouble, they would be in time to assist.

"Right, let's take action," Charlie agreed with Doretta.

As the conversation ended, everyone turned their gaze toward Jared, waiting for him to give the order.

 

Chapter 3294

Jared's brows furrowed slightly. They couldn't wait any longer. "Let's move, " he said, his voice full of determination.

"Yes," everyone agreed, showing they were ready to do whatever it took to get Nicole back safely today.

The team quickly split up and met again not far from the main entrance of the base.

Jared watched the gate with a sharp look.

"Mr. Johnston, we're all set," Charlie said quietly.

"Hmm,” was Jared's reply.

Charlie gave a sign to four team members, who started moving toward the base quietly.

They knew there were hidden guards around the base, but the quietness made them suspicious.

As they got closer to the gate, they suddenly heard something slicing through the air.

"Move!" shouted someone.

Without needing to see what it was, they knew it was dangerous.

They quickly spread out, dodging to the ground, just in time to avoid several explosions.

That was a narrow escape. If they hadn't reacted so fast, they might have been seriously hurt. Their ears were ringing, but thankfully, they were all right.

"They were indeed prepared," the team watching from a distance gritted their teeth.

"Charlie, I'll take some people and go over," Patricia said with a grim look in her eyes.

"Stay here,” Charlie said after a glance at Patricia, then rushed forward with his team.

He understood that a swift assault was necessary, otherwise, they’d deplete their forces at the gate.

"Hey..." Doretta called out instinctively as she watched Charlie charge ahead, but there was nothing she could do but watch him go.

Gritting her teeth, Doretta also led her team to provide support. It seemed there was no alternative but to breach the base as quickly as possible.

Taking a deep breath, Patricia looked up at Jared and said, "Mr. Johnston, I'm going to help." She was here to assist, and she couldn't just stand back and watch.

Jared gave Patricia a nod before she joined the action. Then, he turned to Zane and said firmly, "Take down everyone."

Jared then ran into the crowd by himself, a fierce figure pushing through.

Anyone who crossed his path fell and couldn't stand again.

Zane knew Jared was focused on one thing: saving Nicole.

With a determined look, Zane gave the order, "Move forward."

Another team, arranged to attack from the side, started to push ahead to support the front line, leaving just a few behind to block any attempts to escape.

The fight was fierce, but thanks to Charlie and Doretta’s careful planning, they quickly took control of the gate and got inside.

Once inside, they split into three groups, each with their own targets.

But Jared was only thinking about Nicole. His main aim was to get her out safely.

He looked around the base, trying to guess where Nicole might be hidden, and decided to check a path that was strangely quiet and empty.

This path took him through a bamboo grove and led him to a hidden house.

Chapter 3295

Jared discovered the place had yet to be touched by the crossfire but was heavily guarded. He then noticed Lawrence's figure standing at the entrance of the house.

Without a second thought, he was certain Nicole was inside.

Just as he was about to proceed, Patricia's voice came from behind. "Mr.

Johnston."

Jared glanced at Patricia, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said, "Draw their attention."

Believing the chance of a successful distraction was higher with assistance, he wanted to exploit it.

"Understood," Patricia responded, signaling to her squad members. She then led a group to charge from the left, while another group attacked from the right.

The scene quickly descended into chaos. Patricia took advantage of the turmoil to launch herself at Lawrence with a flying kick.

She understood Jared's strategy: only by pinning down Lawrence and his men could Jared have the opportunity to enter the house and rescue Nicole.

Jared watched everything unfold calmly, waiting for the perfect moment.

Moments later, his pupils contracted sharply as he dodged an ambush, then kicked the attacker to the ground.

Ignoring the groaning figure, Jared sprinted past the crowd and seized the moment to reach the front of the house. Together with Patricia, they pressed Lawrence from both sides, forcing him into a retreat.

Grabbing the chance, Jared kicked the door open with a loud crash.

The noise of breaking porcelain came from inside, making Jared suddenly worried.

Inside, he saw Nicole had taken care of a guard and was safe.

Feeling a wave of relief, Jared quickly went over to Nicole and said, "We need to leave now." "Okay," Nicole replied, and they hurried out together.

Outside, the battle was still raging, but it was clear Lawrence's side was losing strength.

"We're struggling to keep up. What should we do?" Ian, looking worried, came to ask Lawrence.

Watching Jared and Nicole escape, Lawrence clenched his jaw and commanded, "Pull back." "Got it." Ian then yelled, "Everyone, retreat!"

With that order, Ian and Lawrence were the first to leave, with the rest of their team following closely.

Patricia, lowering her weapon, turned to Nicole and asked, "Ms. Riddle, are you okay?" "I'm fine," Nicole responded, a bit surprised to see Patricia there, but knew now wasn't the time for questions.

Looking serious, Nicole then told Jared, "There's a bigger problem we need to deal with." "What's going on?" Jared asked, sensing the urgency in Nicole's voice.

"Lawrence has been secretly working on weapons, like advanced combat robots similar to 'Brave,'" Nicole shared. This was a twist they hadn't planned for.

"But how did he get 'Brave's' data?" Patricia was shocked.

Nicole explained, "After we saved the 'Brave' robots and were heading home, something happened. Maybe that's when he got the data." Only Lawrence would know the full story.

"Looks like we have a tough challenge ahead," Patricia realized, going pale. Facing robots was a whole different challenge.
