Chapter 192

Harriet was about to head upstairs to rest when her phone rang.

Upon hearing the news, she asked Joe if a hacker organization could be behind this and urged him to investigate.

Joe had a friend who was the head of an international hacker organization, so the investigation shouldn’t be too difficult.

By noon, Delbert still hadn’t returned, and Harriet was anxiously awaiting Joe’s call.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before he called back.

“Miss Harriet, I’ve discovered that the breach into King’s system wasn’t the work of a hacker organization, but rather a hacker known as ‘Summer’,” Joe reported.

“Three years ago, he infiltrated the system of the hacker organization where Q was based. At that time, Q had a face-off with him. This hacker is incredibly skilled; even Q barely managed to fend him off and protect their core data.”

“Is it possible for Q to step in and help intercept this hacker’s intrusion?” Harriet asked urgently.

“My contact mentioned that although we can’t pinpoint this hacker’s exact IP address, some indicators suggest he’s currently in Wisteria. Perhaps the network of systems in that region could intercept him.”

From Joe’s tone, it was clear that he was taking the situation seriously. It seemed that Summer was a formidable foe.

King’s transactions had always been straightforward, with willing buyers and sellers.

They didn’t typically offend anyone.

“I’ll look into the specifics,” Joe promised, hanging up the phone.

As time ticked by, Harriet paced in front of the sofa, wondering when King might have upset someone.

Not long after, Joe called again.

Harriet had hoped it was news that the crisis had been resolved, but instead, what Joe reported left her stunned.
