The guard froze for a moment.

“Uhh, well, we just had the staff check, and it turns out the surveince system was damagedb. /bNothing

came up.”

Rachel and Yale both exhaled in unison, relief flooding through them. They were nearly bout /bbof /btheir wits.

Tyler mmed his palm on the desk with a heavy crack, his voice a low, furious snarl.

“Impossible! Ourpany’s security system is the best there is. And byou’re /btelling me it’s been

sabotaged, and you can’t even find out who did it?”

The sheer force behind his anger made the guard stumble back two steps. Head lowered, shoulders

trembling, he stammered, “M–Mr. Hunt, we’ve already sent people to investigate. But it may take some

time before we get results.”

Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, the guard quickly added, “Mr. Hunt, what about Mr. Yale? If we leave this matter to him, I’m sure he’ll get to the bottom of it immediately.b” /b

He shouldn’t have said that. The moment Yale’s name came up, Tyler’s fury deepened. His voice was ice-

cold.

“Then find out where Yale is right now.”

The guard was dumbstruck. Had Yale vanished, too?

Tyler’s gazended on him, still standing there like a fool, and his anger spiked.

“What are you waiting for? Do you need me to send you off myself?”

“S–Sorryb! /bI’ll get right on it!”

The guard bolted out. As the office door shut behind him, he pressed a hand to his pounding chest, finally letting out a shaky sigh.

‘What’s up with Mr. Hunt today? He’s acting like he’s ready to explode, or maybe it’s just because of thepany’s situation?‘

Stillb, /bfor someone to break through thispany’s security system was unbelievable. In all these byears/b, no one had ever pulled it off. Whoever did it was a true master.

While Tyler waited for the investigation results, Yale and Rachel exchanged a nce. They both bknew /bthe timing was critical. Any longer, and Tyler’s suspicions would be confirmed.

Rachel whipped out her phone and fired off a few WhatsApp messages to him.

[Tyler, there’s a problem with Cecilia. We can’t handle it. Can youe over?]

Almost instantly, Tyler called back. But Rachel didn’t answer. Instead, she declined the call.

[I can’t talk right nowi. /iJust head to the address I’m sending you.]

She quickly forwarded the location Cecilia had given her earlier.

Tyler read the message, and without hesitation, picked up his car keys from the desk and walked out.

Rachel and Yale scrambled out from under the desk. Rachel urged, “Hurry, there’s no time. We have to beat Tyler there, or everything falls apart!”

“Got bit/b!”

They slipped out through the back door, Rachel dialing Jerry as they moved.

“Jerry, we’re heading out the back. You need to wipe every camera along the way. Tyler can’t find even the slightest trace.”

“I know, but Tyler already has people repairing the system. I don’t know if I can keep it covered.”

Jerry didn’t sound sure of himself. The truth was, Tyler’spany’s security system was miles ahead of anything else out there. He had poured his entire career’s worth of expertise into trying to crack it.

But Rachel didn’t have the luxury to worry.

*Jerry, I believe in you. You have to do this. We can’t let everything go to waste.”

She hung up, and she and Yale slipped into the parking garage, only steps behind Tyler.

Thankfully, Yale was prepared. He borrowed a friend’s car.

Even so, Tyler simply drove too fast. No matter how hard Yale stepped on the pedal, he couldn’t keep up.

Yale was anxious.

“This isn’t working. At this rate, we’ll never catch him!”

If Tyler got there first, they would be exposed.

Rachel had seen enough.

“Pull over. Stop the car,” she ordered.
