My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557

“Boss, things have gone wrong,” Janus, his right-hand man abroad, whispered over the phone.

“We are unlikely to supply the next batch of goods.” With that, Janus, who was on the other end of the phone, turned the camera around so that Jared could see what was going on at the scene.

Jared’s face darkened as he saw the deep explosion crater.

“Fortunately, none of our men were injured. They all evacuated in time, but the entire mine collapsed. Our months of hard work have gone down the drain,” Janus said.

Jared looked at the scene on the screen, squinting, his eyes icy as a glacier. ‘Once I find out which bastard did this, I will not spare him!’

Looking at the smoke and dust shown on the screen, Jared said in an icy voice, “Who did it?”

Janus frowned and repeated the name of the suspect. “I suspect that they have been planning this for a long time. They only launched the attack after being sure that you are indeed no longer in Mecrounia. It was done covertly; I could find no evidence.” Jared sneered. “They’ve indeed planned for this a long time ago. Come back to see me right away.” He pressed a button to end the call. Max looked at Jared’s grave expression, thought of what he had said just now, and frowned. “Boss, do you want us to go with you?” Jared shook his head, his fingers gently tapping on the table as he said slowly, “Castor is coming back; you stay here and keep an eye on him; ask Claus to monitor Michael, and report to me immediately if something happens.” Max nodded, knowing that Castor Johnston, Jared’s elder brother, was not a nice sort; Jared really needed to be prepared in advance.

Jared got out of the car and walked through the gate of the Johnston Mansion. Unbeknownst to Jared, Gary was sitting in his café, seemingly in a daze. This time, he had brought a laptop with him, constantly analyzing the slightest signal he had intercepted in the school’s security room. He watched his computer keep changing from blue to white screens with an anxious look in his eyes.

Claus was bored and playing with a cup at the bar counter. When he saw Gary’s expression, he approached him with curiosity. ‘Why is his laptop screen flashing so weirdly? Could it be broken?’ Claus thought to himself and glanced at Gary.

“If your laptop is broken, you can ask Nicole to fix it for you, but I’m not sure if she is willing to help.” Gary had been very impatient with Claus, hating this waiter whom he deemed to be talking too much. But upon hearing the second half of his sentence, Gary’s hand holding the mouse froze. “What did you say?” he asked.
