Lost Me Gained Regret

"Wow, talk about a coincidence."

Christine and Dailey exchanged glances, Dailey inquired, "And if some top-notch hacker can't fix it?"

The surveillance room staff was oblivious to Dailey's true status, merely observing their boss nodding and bowing at him, guessing he must be some high-flyer. Not daring to offend, the staff member honestly said, "Even the person who designed this surveillance system wouldn't be able to recover it."

"It's not just a matter of deleting a file that a talented programmer or hacker could recover."

"It's a fail-safe, or rather, a self-destruct mechanism. Once the data's wiped, it's gone for good."

Dailey's eyes flashed coldly as he asked, "Where's the hard drive?"

The staff member handed over the water-damaged hard drive to Dailey.

Dailey examined it and then turned to the hotel owner, "Your computer, cloud accounts, everything, hand them over."

"I've got a buddy in surveillance, I'll get you set up with a new system."

The hotel owner didn't dare object, leading Dailey to his office to collect the computer, adding Dailey on social media, and sending over all account details he could. He didn't dare withhold anything.

Dailey arranged for someone to attempt data recovery, then took Christine out for a meal.
