Ch. 986..990: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 986-990

Chapter 986

Harvey and Ike ran to the second level.

After alerting the staff, he felt they could not leave Nicole behind, so they found some steel rods and ran back toward Nicole.

By the time they came back to the scene, the assassins had been knocked to the ground.

Nicole looked back at Harvey and Ike, tossed the steel rod in her hand, and walked over to them.

"Why are you guys back again?"

The two of them had not yet come out of their startlement, so Nicole waved her hand in front of their eyes.

"We were worried about you.But it looks like it is over."

Harvey looked at the men on the floor behind Nicole.

At this point, a staff member rushed over and was shocked to see the unknown man injured on the floor.

"Who are they?"

"Just leave them to the police." Nicole looked at the staff and explained.

"Let's go."

She then brought Harvey and Ike out of The Octopus Experience Center.

On the way back, Harvey had a lot of questions in his mind.He had known Nicole for so long, yet he did not know that she could fight so well.It was apparent that those people were after Nicole.He could not resist asking, Who are those people? It looks like they are all after you."

"I don't know.Maybe it is the terrorists in the area, which is said to be not very safe." Nicole prevaricated.

"Yeah, I've also heard that there are some extremists here that cause trouble from time to time." Ike managed to digress.

"Is that so? I didn't know that."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

Harvey did not press Nicole any further.

Nicole looked out the window.She did not expect Franco to find out where she was so quick.But she also wondered how Franco knew since no one knew her information.

Nicole did not speak until she got out of the car.Ike had thought of taking them out to experience something fun but almost got them hurt.

"I'm very sorry for today, Miss Riddle, Mr.Ellison.I didn't expect this to happen, either." Ike looked at them with an apologetic face.

"It's okay.I can't blame you for that.Instead, I want to thank you."

Nicole did not have the slightest intention of blaming Ike.

After all, he was also a victim and was kind enough to take them out fora break.

"Don't take it to heart, Ike.Aren't we standing here unscathed?"

Harvey tried to make Ike feel better with a joke.

"Okay, bye," Ike said goodbye and drove off.

Nicole headed inside the hotel, and Harvey followed her outside her room.

"Do you think what happened today could be a coincidence?" Harvey glanced at Nicole with a meaningful look on his face.

"What do you mean?" Nicole frowned at Harvey.

"Can we get in and talk?" Harvey glanced around the hallway.

"Okay."

Nicole did not refuse his request this time.Harvey sat down once he was inside.

"Something to drink?" Nicole asked.

"Got any red wine?"

Harvey wanted some red wine to jazz up the atmosphere.Nicole gave him alook.

'We have just come back, and he wants to drink? What's the matter with him?'

Chapter 987

"Yeah."

Nicole took out an unopened bottle of red wine and handed it to him.Harvey got up and poured himself a glass, then looked over at Nicole.

"You want some?"

"Drink yourself."

Harvey took a sip of the wine.

"What did you mean just now?"

Nicole looked at him with a serious face, figuring that Harvey must have discovered something.

Otherwise, he would not have asked like that.

"Did it not bother you that Ike approached you unsolicited at the seminar?" Harvey asked.

"Why should I be bothered? Wasn't everyone talking to each other there?"

Nicole detected nothing suspicious or unnatural about Ike at the time.

"Maybe you were really looking at the scenery outside and did not notice those people in the venue."

"I had noticed Ike for a long time.He didn't talk to anyone but you.Why do you think that is?"

Harvey looked meaningfully at Nicole? "He was neatly dressed, with not a bit of dust on his leather shoes, so he could be mysophobic, and not talking with others is also part of his mysophobia, no?"

She really didn't pay attention to the people inside the venue because she was just not interested.So she ignored Ike when he came over, and it was only after he tried to strike up a conversation that she spared him a glance.

"You really think he is mysophobic? I'm speechless.Don't little girls like you have any resistance when facing a handsome man?"

Harvey could not help but get a little irate.

"I'm not at all attracted to handsome men, okay? It is just not what you think.Cut the cackle and get to business," Nicole said.

"I think it's part of his plan to first strike up a conversation with you to get to know each other before he might have the opportunity to invite you to the experience center, and then only next to carry out the subsequent plan, which is to send extremists to kill you."

"You must have too much imagination to make this kind of thing up." Nicole thought what Harvey said was exaggerated.

"It is indeed my speculation, but one thing is for sure: when we both ran out of the third level to call for help, and I was going to return to find you, he stopped me.Then I insisted, and only did he go back with me."Harvey told the details to Nicole.She looked into Harvey's eyes, and he did not look like he was lying.

"Could he have stopped you because he was worried about you and that you would be in danger if you went back?"

"I don't think so.After all, we have only known each other for less than a day.If you had stopped me, you might have been worried about my safety.But Ike could never be."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHarvey said with confidence.

Through Harvey's description, Nicole gradually pondered about it.

If it was really like Harvey said, then Ike could be a master of covert operations.I have got to be careful when dealing with him next time"

"Don't tell anyone about this because we still don't know who Ike is, and we can't jump to conclusions.Isn't there a dinner tonight? We will make contact with him then."

Nicole instructed Harvey that she did not want to spook Ike if he was really up to something.

"Okay.Don't worry about it." Harvey looked at her seriously.

"You go back and rest.We will go to dinner together tonight."

Nicole wanted to be left alone to think, so she asked Harvey to leave.

"Okay, then I will leave and get ready.You get some rest.After all, you just went through something so dangerous."

Harvey knew that what happened at the experience center had caused a great deal of surprise to Nicole.

"Take the wine away with you." Nicole needed to stay alert now.

"Okay."

Harvey took the wine and left Nicole's room.Nicole took out her cell phone to make a call.

"Carl, have you heard of this guy Ike?"

"Ike? Never heard of it.What's wrong?" Carl asked back.

"Nothing.Just someone I met at the seminar today.If you have time, help me check this person's background.So far, I only know his name is Ike.Maybe even the name isn't his real name."

Nicole now knew very little about Ike.

 

Chapter 988

"Okay, I will find out and let you know.I will hang up now if there's nothing else."

Carl was taking care of things at the moment.

"Okay."

Nicole hung up the phone, her eyes deep in concentration as she looked at the couch where Harvey had just sat.Since coming abroad, she had not spoken with Jared on the phone.So he picked up her cell phone and called him.

The phone was picked up after a few rings.

"Did the serninar go well?" Jared's voice came over the phone.

"It went pretty well.The meeting also passed a manned flying car project, and I guess Mr.Harmon will hold the press conference soon."

"Are you okay back home?" Nicole asked.

"Not so good."

Jared sounded dispirited as if someone was sick.Nicole thought he was in trouble.

"Did something happen?"

"I'm no good without you."

Jared sensed she was caring for him before he uttered the second half of the sentence.

"Bummer, you made me nervous for a second." Nicole snapped.

"Since you're suffering so much from longing for me, I can video- call you for a while." Nicole missed him, too.

Soon, Jared video-called her, and she picked it up.

The two of them could finally see each other and were relieved from the pain of longing.

"How many more days will it take to get back on your end?" Jared asked.

"I should be able to go back tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, I will pick you up."

Had he not had something on his hands that he needed to take care of, he would have flown to her side right away.

"No need.There's Harvey; we are going back together."

"Harvey? He's going too?"

Jared was upset to hear Harvey's name.He did not know Harvey was also going, or he would have accompanied Nicole.

"Yeah, he is representing Ellison Group."

Nicole then realized what she had said and tried to cover it up.

"Next time something like this happens, make sure you tell me."

Jared was not worried about Nicole, just that Harvey would harass her.

The two were talking when suddenly the doorbell rang on Nicole's side.She knew it must be Harvey picking her up for dinner.

"It should be the driver picking me up for dinner, so I have got to hang up now.I have to go."

Nicole did not dare mention Harvey again.When she opened the door, it was indeed Harvey.

"The driver is already waiting downstairs.Let's go."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Harvey looked at her.

"Why is the car here so early?" Nicole looked at the time.

"It is probably the distance."' Harvey was not sure.

"Just give me a minute while I change." Nicole closed the door back.

Soon, the door opened again, and Nicole came out in her gown.

Harvey was stunned for a moment, as this was the second time he had seen her in a gown, and she was as beautiful as a fairy.He could not take his eyes off her.

"Let's go." Nicole glanced at Harvey.

"Okay." Harvey snapped back and walked with Nicole downstairs.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a clubhouse, and Nicole and Harvey got out and walked inside.

 

Chapter 989

"Is it Miss Riddle and Mr.Ellison?" The receptionist asked.

"Yes"

"This way, please."

The receptionist guided them to the dinner venue.

Unlike the daytime seminar, there were some unfamiliar faces at the dinner.

As Nicole and Harvey made their way inside, those who knew them greeted them.

"Here we meet again, Miss Riddle." Scott came up to her.

"I'm seeing a lot of unfamiliar faces, Mr.Harmon."

Nicole looked over at the surrounding people.

"These are the local prestige families who have some business dealings with me.But you can just relax and talk to them.It is good for Riddle Corporation's future," Scott said.

Nicole smiled.

"I was impressed by your speech at the seminar during the day, and I have gained a lot of confidence.The manned flying car project is not a simple experiment.It must take someone with conviction and determination to lead the team.I was planning to lead the team myself, but something more important came up.I need to take care of it.By observing you during the day, I know you are equipped with leadership skills and have a firm belief in manned flying cars, so—"

"Mr.Harmon, are you telling me to lead the R&D team, are you?" Nicole interrupted him.

"That's right.I couldn't find a more suitable candidate other than you."

"Mr.Harmon, as you said, a manned flying car is not a simple experiment.I know nothing about R&D and really can't handle it.Thank you for your invitation."

Nicole politely refused, as she had more important things to do.

Besides, those dark forces were watching her from the dark.

With all sorts of complications that she was facing, it was a potential threat to the R&D team.Since Nicole refused, Scott could only ask her to agree in a tactful way.

"I know you don't understand R&D.In fact, you don't have to do anything.Just come over from time to time and give the team members a shot in the arm.The assistants will handle the rest for you."

"Mr.Harmon—"

Nicole was about to say something else when Harvey nudged her on the side.

"Mr.Harmon, Nicole might need a little time to think about it, since this is no small matter,"Harvey spoke up to smooth things over.

"Right.Maybe I'm too desperate.Hope you don't mind, Miss Riddle.There's no rush to reply to me.You go back and think about it.I will leave you guys to it."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

Scott excused himself, not giving Nicole another chance to refuse.

"Harvey, what are you doing?"

Nicole looked at him with displeasure.

"Don't rush to refuse requests from such a prominent figure like Mr.Harmon.Agree to his request first and then roll with the punches."

Harvey had been in the business world for a long enough time to know the rules.

"Let's not talk about other things.If you take part in the development of the manned flying car, there will be more opportunities for business between Riddle Corporation and Aegis Corporation.I'm sure not only Aegis Corporation but also many other companies will seek cooperation with Riddle Corporation next in the future."

Harvey seemed to have seen the bright future of Riddle Corporation.

After listening to Harvey's analysis, Nicole suddenly felt that there was really no harm in it for Riddle Corporation.

"Well, let's leave it at that."

As Mr.Harmon had already walked off to chat with others, she could only make considerations.

"Harvey, have you seen Ike?" Nicole asked, suddenly remembering what had happened during the day.

"Not yet.If I were him, I'm sure I wouldn't be here either," Harvey said.

Nicole sighed.

If it was as Harvey had said during the day, it would not be easy to find Ike again.

The two scanned the venue without finding Ike, so they came to the lounge and sat down, watching the bigwigs at the dinner talk to each other.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Why are you two sitting here?"

Ike came late because he was tied up with something earlier.

Looking toward the voice, Harvey exclaimed, "Ike?"

"Are you glad to see me?" Ike greeted Harvey warmly.

After what happened in the experience center, he felt like they were comrades in arms who had gone to war together.

Chapter 990

"Y-Yeah." Harvey glanced hesitantly at Nicole.

"Why did you arrive here so late?" Nicole acted quite naturally and greeted Ike normally.

"I got caught up in some things, so I came a little late. Luckily the party isn't over yet." Ike joked.

"It is okay.The dinner party just started not long ago, too."

Harvey finally regained his composure.

"Ike, where are you from?" Nicole asked.

"I was born in Fattoria, went to school here, and came to this company right after graduation to do product development all the time."

Ike described something about himself.

Nicole gave Harvey a look, meaning that Ike was not like what he thought, that he was a serious university graduate who worked for Mr.Harmon.

Harvey looked at Nicole in confusion.He was only guessing before this, so he thought he could not be blamed for it all.

"What do you think about the manned flying car project?" Nicole wanted to hear Ike's opinion.

"A manned flying car is a great idea.There's a good chance it will be one of the most important vehicles in the future."

This was Ike's own opinion.

"You're right.The problem of traffic jams is getting worse on the roads in many countries now.We have to come up with a good solution, or else sooner or later, the roads will be like parking lots, overflowing with cars."

The reason Nicole had an approved view of manned flying cars was based on the current situation of traffic jams around the world.

"Indeed.In fact, my team and I have been researching manned flying cars for some time.In our R&D lab, we have already come up with a prototype, which can travel a short distance, but it is not perfect.There are many things that need to be perfected."

When Ike talked about the manned flying car, his beaming face suddenly turned gloomy.

"You have already made it? Can you show it to us?"

Harvey looked at Ike with amazement.

"Of course.You two are my friends."

Harvey glanced at Nicole.

"It is a little boring here.Can you show us around now if it is convenient? We are leaving tomorrow."

Ike thought for a second and looked at Nicole.

'Sure.Let's go."

After Nicole said goodbye to Scott, she went with them to Ike's R& Dcenter.

Carl was on a stakeout when he suddenly received a message from zane.

[Come back to base immediately.]

[Copied.]

After Carl received the order, he left before he could say goodbye to Nicole.

Back at the base, Zane had already assembled his team.

"Zane, what's going on?"

Carl asked as he came to Zane's side.

"One of Curley Corporation's production plants will soon be under the control of The Raven.We must take over the production plant before The Raven takes control."

Zane's eyes were full of determination; he was determined to win.

"Aye."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

"Everyone move and board the plane."

Zane gave the order, and his men ran toward the cargo plane in a nervous but orderly manner.

"Did you see Nicole in Lanningbourg?" Zane asked Carl on the plane.

"Yeah.She's fine." It was promised that he could see her again, but now he was on a plane to another place.
