Chapter 109
Gavin stopped suddenly at the door of the study.
After taking a moment to calm down, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
“Come in. A deep voice came from the study.
Only then did Gavin open the door and walk in.
In the study, Simon Hernandez was sitting behind his desk.
In front of him was a pile of documents.
“Mr. Hernandez, we just received news that he ran away.” Gavin looked at Simon with a hint of fear in his eyes.
“He ran away?” Simon frowned and looked up at Gavin with a burning gaze.
“Yes…” Gavin’s voice was a little shaky.
“Didn’t we already obtained that person’s location? How did he get away?” Simon’s voice was bone–chilling.
“That Quantum is as cunning as a sewer rat. When we went over, the building was empty. Quantum must have noticed our activitiesand abandoned his headquarters. Gavin explained in a low voice.
Simon’s dark black eyes narrowed. He was not satisfied with this answer.
“But we found something, Gavin quickly added.
Then, he handed over the document in his hand.
“We found this at Quantum’s home. Although most of the information has been wiped, our team have restored some of it. The data showed that the last person Quantum contacted was a fellow hacker named Chaos. Quantum must have gone to seek refuge with that person:
Chaos?
Simon couldn’t help but pause as he flipped through the documents.
Gavin said, “This Chaos is the number one hacker in the Darknet. If that person’s helping Quantum, it might be a little tricky for us to find him.”
“Do whatever you can to find this Chaos. Simon Hernandez had also heard of this nickname.
“Chaos seemed to have disappeared for many years. Why did that person reappear right now?
“Could it be that Chaos also wants the Akister Treasure?” Simon thought.
“Yes, sir!” Gavin answered.
Any news from over there?” Simon asked out of the blue.
“Huh? Gavin was confused for a second.
Simon immediately gave him a cold look.
Ohy are you talking about Miss Bailey? We’ve got news that Miss Bailey went to Winston Clarkson’s performance venue carlier. Miss Bailey went with Peter Moore,”
“Winston Clarkson?” Simon snorted when he heard the name.
Chapter 109
“That little girl is really ungrateful.
*She went to see Winston Clarkson but not me.” Simon thought.
“What happening at the Bailey family?” Simon asked again.
“We didn’t find out a lot. Rumor has it that Miss Bailey rushed back because her second brother, the second son of the Bailey family Lambert Bailey, have been injured during a mission,” Gavin Johnson replied.
“Lambert Bailey?” Simon frowned slightly when he heard the name.
“Yes, we found out that the injury was quite seriously this time. Lambert’s still in bed,” Gavin answered.
“Find out why he was injured. Was it an accident or a targeted attack, Simon said after a short
pause.
“Yes, sir!”
Marina was going home after helping Quantum settle down.
Although Lambert had survived, he still needed more treatments to get better.
After all, Marina wanted to make sure that Lambert’s legs could be back to normal.
However, halfway through Marina’s journey, her phone suddenly went off.
Marina glanced at the caller ID.
With a gentle swipe across the screen, Marina picked up the call.
“Aunt Daisy.” Marina greeted the caller.
“Marina, do you have a moment now?” On the other end, Daisy’s voice was serious.
“What happened?” Marina lowered her voice as well.
“I have a case that I might need your help with,” Daisy continued.
“Of course, I’ll head over now,” Marina said without hesitation.
Daisy was the only girl born into the Bailey family in the previous generation.
Daisy could have been pampered princess of the family but she refused all of that and chose not to be sheltered by the Bailey family.
Instead, Daisy devoted herself to the police department. She didn’t get help from the Bailey family at all and managed to become the chief of police at the Janeborough Police Department.
Marina also knew that Daisy was a high performer. If it hadn’t been for an extremely tricky case, Daisy would never have called her.
Marina immediately called the Bailey family and told the doctors to take good care of Lambert Bailey. Then, she went to meet Daisy.
Half an hour later, Marina’s car stopped in front of the Janeborough Police Station.
Daisy was already there to greet Marina when she got out of the car.
‘Aunt Daisy, why did you come out by yourself?” Marina stepped forward.
“My Marina is here. Of course I will come out to welcome you myself. What if others didn’t give you the welcome you deserve?” Daisy looked at Marina with doting eyes.

“I’m sure others would be just as welcoming. The wind is too strong outside. Aunt Daisy, be careful of your injured arm. You’ll suffer in the cold. Let’s go in now.” Marina helped Daisy inside the station without delay.
Daisy had always been on the front line as a policeman.
Once when she was out on a mission, Daisy blocked a bullet with her arm to save a child.
And Marina went missing at about the same time.
Busy with finding Marina, Daisy didn’t receive proper treatment for her arm. This was why the injury still troubled Daisy from time to time.
When the weather got cold, Daisy’s arm would be in a lot of pain.
It was also because of this incident that the Bailey family urged Daisy to step down from fieldwork.
It was either that or resignation.
Daisy had no choice but to obey and only engage in office work.
The injury used to be a painful memory for Daisy, but Marina’s words warmed her heart to no end.
Daisy complied with a smile.
“A girl is indeed much more caring.
“Marina is not like my son at all. He only knows how to cause trouble for me all day long.
“I should have stuffed him back up where he came from and let him reincarnate as a daughter.” Daisy thought.
Daisy and Marina walked in through the front door together.
Along the way, many police officers saw them together.
With great disbelief, the officers watched their chief, who was always stern in front of them, holding a little girl’s arm so amiably.
Their jaws dropped at this scene.
The Janeborough police station chatroom exploded with messages. [What’s going on? Does our chief have such a gentle side?]
[Oh my God, if it weren’t for the police uniform our chief was wearing, I would have suspected that that person is our chief’s twin sister.]
[By the way, could that young lady be our chief’s daughter–in–law?] Someone replied with a question.
