Chapter 141


    Arielle replied unswervingly, “I’m not messing with you. I do know some programming, so maybe I can


    be of help. Trust me.” Vinson looked deeply into her bright eyes. They were crystal clear and yet icy-


    cold. Seeing there was no way to stop her, he obliged. “Okay, you cane with me.” They exchanged


    nces and then ran up to the first floor against the crowd. The elevator was out of order during


    emergency.


    Both of them carefully avoided the gasoline on the floor until they reached the first floor. Although they


    had been very cautious, their feet were still injured to a certain extent. Ignoring his own wounds, Vinson


    noticed Arielle’s burnt ankle first. He stopped. “Your feet…” “Don’t bother, get the door to open first.”


    Arielle did not care about her injuries and continued rushing to the security room. Having left with no


    other option, Vinson followed suit. Soon, they arrived at the security door. Unfortunately, it was locked


    and bolted! “Take a step back,” Vinsonmanded and did the same himself.


    Then, he dashed to the door andnded a powerful kick on it. The door shook, but remained tightly


    shut. Right then, plumes of smoke filled the entire building, causing them to have breathing difficulty.


    Arielle started coughing. Suddenly, she recalled seeing a fire emergency kit at the corner of the


    stairwell. Her eyes lit up. “There’s an ax over there. Let me grab it!” She made a dart for the kit and


    found the ax. Without further ado, she broke the ss covering the kit and retrieved the ax. While


    reaching for the ax, she identally cut the back of her hand and blood gushed out of her wound.


    “Darn it!” cursed Arielle. She hastily wiped the blood on her blouse and hurried back to Vinson. “The


    ax… is here…” She panted. The dense smoke rampaging in the air triggered her to cough severely. As


    it grew thicker, Arielle could feel the scalding heat engulfing her surroundings. Judging from the


    dreadful situation, it would not be long until they inhale too much smoke, suffocate, and die… Anxious,


    Vinson took the ax from her and asked,


    “Are you okay? Why don’t you go down and wait for me?” Arielle insisted, “No need. Hurry up and open


    the door.” He clenched his jaw as he removed his gaze from her reluctantly and mmed the ax on the


    lock. He hit it once, twice… Finally, on the fifth time, it broke. Both of them sprinted into the security


    room and saw tenputers before them. They followed thebels in front of eachputer to locate


    the one which controlled the main entrance.

    Hovering over the keyboard, Vinson typed at lightning speed. Arielle could only catch the shadows of


    his finger movements for he was super-duper fast. In a sh, Vinson identified the problem. Pointing at


    a folder appearing on the screen, he announced, “This is where the hacker inserted a disruptive


    programming code and locked the door.”


    “Can it be deleted?” Vinson shook his head. “I’ve tried, but to no avail. I’m not an expert in this area. Let


    me call Carter and consult him.” “Okay.” Arielle nodded and waited for Vinson to make the call.


    However, he realized that the phone line was not working because the signal in the building had been


    blocked.
