Chapter 1503


    Besides a few spam emails, there was an email from a name Lily had not seen for a long time—


    Benedict Tanner.


    Lily was stunned when she saw the name.


    Not because she needed time to recall the person''s name but because she did not expect him to reply


    to her email.


    She had sent Benedict an email when she felt something was amiss with the institute.


    At that time, she had destroyed all the research data, although Austin recovered itter.


    Austin’s words reminded her of something when they were at Dominic’s ce.


    If a hacker could recover the data, they could hack it again.


    There was an encrypted database that Lily could not hack or ess.


    The only person who had ess to the database was Professor Thompson.


    When she asked him about it, he said it involved some internal confidential information and was not for


    everyone to view.


    As it was a highly confidential database, he could not grant Lily ess and hoped she would


    understand him.


    However, he offered to retrieve all the information she needed from the database.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    She just needed to let him know about it.


    All the incidents that happenedter made her grow doubtful, and she remembered the encrypted


    database at the time.


    ‘If a top hacker could hack into the database, they can’t see what was inside, right?’ Lily thought it was


    simple to do that, but finding a trustworthy and credible hacker was challenging.


    Not only did she need the hacker to be skilled enough to hack into the database, but she also needed


    to trust the hacker not to leak anything about the institute.


    After some thought, she remembered Benedict.


    He was not a skilled top hacker but was indeed friends with one.


    Benedict met the hacker when he was traveling, looking for all those precious wood, saving the


    hacker’s life by chance.


    Benedict casually brought this matter up during their conversation, but Lily remembered it.


    Hence, when she wanted to find a hacker she could trust, she remembered what Benedict had told her.


    As for Benedict, Lily considered him a friend she could trust.


    Ever since he took over the Tanner Corporation, he had been working hard, and Lily heard that the


    However, he was forced to put his hobbies aside for now.


    That was life.


    One had to make choices and sacrifices to gain something.


    Lily clicked on the mouse and opened the email.


    The content was short and straightforward.


    Benedict mentioned that his friend had epted the job and would inform Lily once he had any


    updates about it.


    "Thanks!"


    Lily replied to the email, but her eyes dimmed.


    The thought of the institute reminded her of Professor Thompson, who had just passed away not long


    ago, and Austin, who had gone missing.


    Lily had a feeling where he was—with Rhea.


    It was just that Lily had no idea where he was locked up.


    Judging from Mike''s words, Austin was safe, but no one knew how long that wouldst.


    ‘Where are they keeping Ausing, and what is Mike’s role in all this? What does he want? Lily’s


    headache only worsened at the thought of all this.


    Fortunately, Alexander was back in Kingnd.


    Although he had gotten infected by the gue, he was back, and she could settle all her problems.


    His presence had always managed to ease her anxiety.


    Lily just hoped that tomorrow woulde faster so she could meet him.


    There were so many things she wanted to say to him and so many matters she needed to discuss.
