Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 404

How long would it take to produce this chip?” Susan asked softly.

Ben estimated. The core data is ready, but we don’t have the machinery to manufacture the chip here. We’d need to get It produced in Romland and shipped here. At the earliest, it would take three days.”

Three days… Susan pondered for a moment.

But the number on the note had already changed to 1.

“Is something troubling you, Susan?” Ben, sensing something amiss, inquired.

Susan quietly explained the situation with the note.

Ben’s brows furrowed deeply.

He had been so engrossed in his work these past few days that he hadn’t noticed such a crucial development.

Thinking of the person who delivered the note…

Ben’s eyes turned ice cold.

Timothy, what a character!

First, he kidnapped Susan, and now he was resorting to such despicable tactics. If only Ben had known -earlier, he would have eradicated him at the outset!

“Ben, once the chip is produced, this organization will eventually be destroyed, but… we might not have enough time now,” Susan said, her brow furrowed.

Just three days short.

And during these three days, none of them dared to gamble..

If something happened to Alexander, cutting off his last chance of survival, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Ben knew Susan’s character well.

Not to mention that Alexander was her close relative, knowing that Timothy’s shadow lurked behind these events, she probably blamed herself partly for Alexander’s plight.

This time.

Timothy was targeting Susan specifically. If Ben simply stopped her, she would never find peace in this lifetime.

After a moment of silence, Ben gently touched Susan’s head.

“Ben, L… Susan’s lips trembled slightly.

Chapter 404

Hen smiled, a sudden chill flashing in his eyes. “Some scores need to be settled once and for all.”

He hadn’t settled the score with Timothy for kidnapping Susan before. Now that Timothy had willingly walked into their hands.

It was time to settle both new and old grudges.

Susan looked at Ben, somewhat bewildered.

Ben gently ruffled her hair, speaking calmly, Timothy wants you to go, right? Fine, I’ll go with you.”

Susan was taken aback, instinctively wanting to object.

There were many reasons.

For instance, this time, there would certainly be many dangers.

And Ben had more important things to do.

However.

A million reasons turned into a simple, soft okay at the final gaze of Ben’s eyes.

That night, Susan and Ben didn’t sleep at all.

Since they had decided to confront Timothy, they couldn’t go unprepared.

Unable to wait for the complete version of the chip. Ben worked overnight with the available equipment to create a simplified version.

The simplified chip could only detect, not interfere or destroy.

But for now, it was sufficient.

Busy until dawn, they finally got a chip.

Susan, holding the chip, was discussing with Ben how to conceal it.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.

Susan clutched her chest, feeling disoriented, a very bad premonition creeping over her.

“I need to go to the hospital. Susan suddenly stood up.

Today was the last day.

Alexander… couldn’t have met with an accident already, could he?

Ben nodded without hesitation and accompanied Susan to the hospital.

They had just arrived at the hospital.

Chapter 404

Susan’s uncase intensified.

Alexander’s room was empty. After a frantic search, Susan and Ben found Judith and Eason at the entrance of the emergency room.

Mom, what happened to Dad?” Susan’s voice trembled.

Judith wiped away her tears. “Susan, someone called me after four this morning, saying today was the last day I thought it was some kind of prank at first. But something in my heart kept bothering me, so I decided to return to the ward. Not long after I arrived… your father’s condition…”

Judith’s eyes reddened. “Your father’s condition suddenly worsened. He struggled to breathe, as if he might

convulse at any moment. Thankfully, Thomas and his team were there, and they immediately took your father for emergency treatment.”

“Damn it. Eason couldn’t help but punch the wall.

He couldn’t understand how his father had been targeted!

Knowing that these people had hypnotic powers, but surely, they couldn’t hypnotize everyone in an instant, could they? If only one or two were affected, under his arrangements, the others should have reacted immediately.

He had arranged perfect protection, so why….

“Did Thomas leave any message about the specifics?” Ben asked calmly.

Eason shook his head. “It was an emergency. Thomas didn’t have time to say anything.”

“Your father will get through this. Judith wiped her tears, her eyes showing a glimmer of determination as she looked at the closed doors of the emergency room.

At that moment, a hospital worker, looking dazed, walked straight towards Susan.

That expression….

It was all too familiar.

Aside from the oblivious Judith, both Ben and Eason instinctively positioned themselves in front of Susan.

The hospital worker, seemingly with no intention to do anything harmful, numbly handed over a note and then fainted straight away.

Eason instinctively tried to grab the note.

But Ben was quicker and took it first.

“Ben…” Eason’s lips trembled.

Ben lifted his gaze and said, “I know.”

His expression was eerily calm, and Eason realized something, glancing at Susan.

Chapter 404

Susan also came over and looked at the note.

It contained an address, written In blood–red ink, along with a time limit.

This time, they had one hour.

The location wasn’t far from the hospital, just a five–minute drive.

Ben and Susan exchanged a glance.

“What’s going on with you all? Acting all secretive,” Judith said, somewhat bewildered.

Ben discreetly put away the note. “Nothing important, just some unpleasant words. You don’t need to see it, Mom.”

Judith immediately got angry. “These people are utterly lawless!”

“Indeed. I’ll handle this matter now and see what’s going on with this hospital worker, Ben said.

“I’m coming too,” Susan said.

Eason looked from one to the other, finally gritting his teeth. I’m coming as well.”

Soon, only Judith was left at the entrance of the emergency room.
