CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 387: THE WEXLER FAMILY’S SECRET

Marcus cheerfully turned on the TV in the living room.

"Alright, I won’t interrupt. Mommy, you go with Daddy."

Even Hugo Quinn’s face was a bit flushed now, but he was already on course and couldn’t stop. He turned his head and continued to pull Eleanor Hollis into the room.

"Hugo, mmm... mmm..."

Eleanor didn’t have a chance to say anything more before she was pressed onto the bed.

She remembered that this man had gotten the flight wrong. By now, he was probably still in a state of fear, and she held him tenderly.

When they finished, it was already three hours later.

Eleanor was too exhausted to get up, so she simply slept on the bed.

Hugo, on the other hand, went downstairs looking refreshed, only to find that Marcus had also gone for a nap.

He took out his phone, wanting to call Cole Crawford, but he couldn’t get through after waiting for a long time. Cole must have returned to that area by now, right?

"Boss, what should we do next?"

Lan Yancy’s face was all seriousness. This person had mentioned investigating the Wexler Family, but the Wexler Family’s security was so tight that sneaking in wouldn’t be easy.

"We’ll have to slip in quietly. Even the most rigorous security will have gaps. Let’s set off at night."

Hugo’s tone was full of confidence, as he had never encountered a place he couldn’t break into. The trip to the Wexler Family this time was a must-achieve mission.

In the evening, Eleanor and Marcus had already woken up. Hugo asked the kitchen to prepare food for them, while he and Lan Yancy went outside the Wexler Family’s residence.

The Wexler estate was large, with numerous guards even outside the main gate.

Surrounding it were high walls, and the Wexler Family was inside those towering walls. There was only one door to enter, and several bodyguards were guarding it. Just from their steps and posture, it was clear that each of them was top-notch.

"They change shifts every two hours. Let’s climb up the high wall during that time."

Hugo spoke calmly, not a trace of tension in his voice.

"Boss, there are cameras on the high wall. If we go up, we’ll definitely be spotted."

Lan Yancy wasn’t very optimistic. They had investigated the security outside the Wexler estate thoroughly; there were indeed cameras up there, which would definitely spot anyone who climbed up.

"Lan Yancy, don’t worry about it. Be ready to assist me from below. Just do what I say."

Hugo was experienced in these matters, and when he saw that the shift change was imminent, he quickly gave Lan Yancy a nod.

Lan Yancy’s expression immediately became serious.

The two of them stealthily approached the high wall. Hugo took out something resembling a toy gun and aimed it at a camera.

The camera instantly shifted slightly. Taking advantage of this moment, he climbed the high wall with his bare hands.

Once on top of the wall, he took a picture with a camera of where the surveillance camera was originally pointed, then stuck this photo onto the camera.

This way, whoever was monitoring would see exactly the same image as before and wouldn’t realize that the still image was actually just a photo.

Hugo smirked and swiftly leaped off the high wall, hiding behind a certain tree.

The Wexler estate’s grounds were vast, with numerous bodyguards and maids inside. He easily incapacitated one, hiding behind the tree, and then casually walked out wearing the person’s clothes.

The Wexler security was somewhat similar to the Crawford Family’s; despite the high security, careful observation would reveal a pattern to it.

Once you broke through the first line of defense, the rest were easier to handle. After all, no one would pay attention to what a insignificant bodyguard was up to.

Hugo quickly reached the second floor of the villa and tossed a rice grain-sized bug down the stairs.

This bug was tiny and looked like an ordinary grain of rice, so no one would notice its presence.

He hid himself behind a curtain, waiting for the matriarch to come down.

After about half an hour, the matriarch indeed came down with assistance from a few people, seemingly discussing a matter.

"Matriarch, they’re already putting up the money for us to research that thing in Africa."

Someone said respectfully.

The matriarch let out a few light laughs, then sat down on the sofa.

"We have to see how much they’re willing to pay. That country has a significant wealth gap; the rich are exceedingly wealthy. If they can’t show 100% sincerity, there’s no need to agree."

Researching vaccines was very easy for them because the outbreak happened because of them. They used that place as a testing field to see how their new virus worked. Unexpectedly, it succeeded and spread rapidly, likely causing international panic.

The Wexler Family might appear to be in business now, but they have always preserved their elite in medical research. Many of the medicines for difficult ailments in the country were developed by them.

The wealth of the Wexler Family was unimaginable, which is why Grace Wexler was so confident.

"Let’s wait and see. It’s likely that internationally people will be sent to the Wexler Family soon. We need to remain calm."

The matriarch said calmly, sipping tea from the table.

Hugo heard everything clearly and was now sure that the outbreak was because of these people.

"Matriarch, Miss Wexler is struggling in Serenford. Should we send someone to help her?"

The man speaking seemed worried about Grace Wexler’s situation, but the matriarch had already ordered that no one was to assist Grace.

"No need. She has already had my training and won’t be too bad. If she can’t make it, it means she lacks the capability. The Wexler Family doesn’t nurture failures. Since she’s a Wexler, she should undergo these tests."

Hugo recorded all their conversations, but he already knew about this. These two didn’t reveal any useful information.

Next, they just chatted about mundane topics, and Hugo listened with growing impatience. What he wanted was information about the person on that plane.

"Matriarch, recently they’ve started researching something new. This drug is equivalent to hypnotism, affecting the brain’s nervous system. If successful, it will undoubtedly aid the Wexler Family immensely."

The world’s most renowned hypnotists can hypnotize a person to such an extent that the person would completely obey them, even forget certain things.

Although hypnotism is currently facing much criticism, with many saying it’s nothing but trickery, true hypnosis masters indeed can completely hypnotize a mentally determined adult man.

And this time, those people are researching exactly these things.

They’re delving into hypnotism, identifying where hypnotism affects, then targeting that area with particular drugs to make a person’s mind become dazed.
