Chapter 84: You Again?
" You again? " Alessia questioned as she looked at Zhi Ruo through the rear-view mirror.
Zhi Ruo stayed silent and didn't say anything.
Leon, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to his sister, turned and inquired, " You guys know each other? "
" No. " Zhi Ruo calmly answered.
Alessia explained, " We briefly met at a hotel yesterday morning. I gave her a tip about Jessica. "
Wang Yong finally started to catch on and asked Zhi Ruo in a gloomy voice, " Is she the woman that tried to slap you? "
" ... " Zhi Ruo awkwardly stared at Wang Yong as she knew that if she said yes, he would be mad, " I don't remember. "
' Hating is really tiring, I should spare him the trouble...Also, he shouldn't be wasting emotions on another woman eitherway...（（●´∧｀●））' Zhi Ruo thought, not knowing that her possessive side was coming out on something very weird.
" Yeah, it's her. " Alessia replied for Zhi Ruo.
Hearing her answer, Wang Yong frowned and silently made a mental note. He then turned to Zhi Ruo, ' Little kitten learned to lie and hide things from me? '
Zhi Ruo stared guiltily at her boyfriend and tried to coax him. Her delicate fingers reached out to his forehead and gently smoothed out the wrinkles, " I really forgot, she was so insignificant that I didn't bother remembering her and didn't I already told you that I handled it well? "
Wang Yong grabbed the little hand that was massaging his forehead and interlocked it with his finger and sighed, " I didn't say anything. "
' Your face scolded me though. ' Zhi Ruo said in her heart but immediately snuggled next to him and smiled, ' Dodged another bullet! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)'
Alessia and Leon: ...dude...we are getting chased by the police and you still have time to flirt?
" So how exactly did we get exposed? " Leon finally turned back his intention on their situation.
" The police intercepted one of our coded messages and installed a camera at the meeting point where the exchange happened to record evidence. " Alessia told.
" Damn! They have evidence? " Leon cursed under his breath.
They were in the mafia, of course, he had a certain hold of the police but if they have video evidence, it might be more difficult.
" What were you exchanging? " Zhi Ruo finally spoke up.
" Illegal weapons and a weapon prototype. " Alessia responded, still in total control of the wheel and finessing her way through the cars.
" So basically, if they had no video evidence of the exchange, they can't arrest you? " Zhi Ruo questioned in a calm voice.
" I have connections at the police department but they won't be able to help me if there is video evidence and they probably already made a few backups of the video. If there wasn't any video, we wouldn't need to be on the run right now. " Leon quickly responded.
" Arms trafficking? " Zhi Ruo asked one final question.
Alessia nodded, " We don't harm civilians. "
Zhi Ruo sighed and pondered, her values were a bit conflicted right now. Even though they didn't directly harm people, they were still providing other people with a way to harm others. However, if they get arrested, they wouldn't be able to help Wang Yong.
Zhi Ruo turned around and looked at the approaching police cars and looked back at Wang Yong.
' Sigh...who told her to be a selfish being helplessly in love... '
" Do you have a computer? " Zhi Ruo asked them.
" Under my seat. " Alessia brutally swerved the car as beads of sweat started appearing on her forehead.
They couldn't hold out for long, not long after this, more police cars from all directions will surround them.
" How long can you escape them for? " Zhi Ruo hurriedly asked as she pulled out the mallet from the seat in front of her.
" Not long, a maximum of 30 minutes. By the end of that time, I predict all the police cars would have surrounded us. " Leon gulped down as he answered and fished out his phone to call one of his subordinates to see if there was still anything they could do.
" Drive as long as you can. I don't think I will have time to breach all the backup data just yet but I can erase the one from the main headquarters. After that, if you buy us more time I can maybe erase the independent ones. I'll make sure to delete the data about the intercepted messages. " Zhi Ruo said that with a bit of hesitation.
She did work with government security and did manage to get a look at their security system. China's cybersecurity is clearly above the United States so she was quite confident she could easily breach their systems as she knew the main loopholes of security systems from the government but independent computers needed pen-testing (penetration testing) and she had to locate them all.
Alessia and Leon incredulously looked at Zhi Ruo.
" Can we trust you? " Leon raised his brow while looking at her.
" No. " Zhi Ruo replied bluntly without looking up from the computer, " Try to find another plan just in case but I assure you I will try my best. "
Wang Yong silently stared at his girlfriend as her fingers flew across the keyboard at such an incredible speed that he could faintly see after images, ' How did she learn to do that while managing a company? '
