Chapter 1073


    That caused the lead guard to bow his head even lower. “She escaped in a van after we chased her


    out of the jewelry market. We could only watch her slip away as we weren’t able to keep up on foot.”


    “I don’t think it’d be reasonable to me them for not being able to outrun a vehicle.” Natalie exhaled.


    As disappointed as she was by the oue, she remained sympathetic and found no justification for


    being upset with them.


    “In which direction was Jacquelinest headed? Do you still remember the license te?” Shane asked


    as he regarded the man.


    “Toward the university town. I still remember the license te,” he affirmed.


    “Good.” Shane nodded before he turned to Natalie. “Go get Connor down here.”


    Natalie grunted. She understood that he intended to have Connor locate Jacqueline using the direction


    of her escape and the van’s license te and thus went up to bring her son downstairs.


    Shortly after, Natalie returned with both of her children, and the boy Connor had a handy littleptop in


    his clutches.


    It was one that Shane had custom-built for him. With superior battery life and high-end specifications, it


    was a machine capable of handling borate calctions.


    After Connor learned what his father needed of him, he switched on theputer with his diminutive


    fingers and started to tap away on the keyboard in a flurry.


    Sally’s and Lina’s jaws were agape as they observed at the side.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Hey, do you understand what’s going on here?” whispered Lina as she nudged at Sally with an elbow.


    Sally gulped. “You may not know this, but Connor’s a hacker and a very good one at that.”


    “What? This little kid? A hacker?” Lina eximed.


    Sally nodded. “Yeah. There was once I thought he was ying video games when I saw him fiddling


    with theputer. But when I went over, the entire screen was just covered with shing codes that


    were moving so fast that they had my eyes in a blur. It was only after talking to Nat afterward that I got


    to know about what Connor does.”


    “Goodness me. This five-year-old boy’s so massively talented. I’m really impressed.” Lina’s eyes were


    aglow as she looked at Connor in admiration.


    Connor sensed that someone was staring but paid no attention to it. He focused his attention on sifting


    through all the security footage within the university town.


    After some time, he pointed to a vehicle and said, “Found it.”


    That prompted Shane and Natalie to bring themselves closer to theptop.


    “Where is it? Have you located where Jacqueline and Sean are hiding?” Natalie asked anxiously.


    Shane shook his head. “No, what Connor meant to say is that he has determined Jacqueline’s route of


    escape.”


    “Yes. Jacqueline’s vehicle did enter the university town. But after it went inside, the security footage in


    the vicinity was all destroyed. Which is to say that we only know that she went inside the university


    compound, but cannot determine whether she stayed, or abandoned the vehicle and left, because the


    spy cameras did not show whether that van exited,” a glum-looking Connor exined.


    Natalie furrowed her brows. “Does that mean we’ve lost track of her for a second time?”


    “Yeah.” Connor nodded. “But I have an idea how we might be able to find her, and that’s by hacking


    into the satellite surveince system and using it to locate her.”


    “No!” a solemn Shane resolutely rejected that proposal. “You’re not to hack into the satellite systems


    regardless of wherever you may be. Is that clear, Connor?”


    He regarded his son with an earnestness that got Natalie looking quite serious as well. “Yes. Listen to


    your daddy, Connor.”


    As they were overseas, should the government of such a country discover their systems being hacked


    and find their way to Connor, they would not likely allow the boy to return to his own country. With the


    immense ability demonstrated at his tender age, Connor might even be forcibly detained in view of


    being nurtured into bing one of their own. That meant that the boy might never be able to go back


    home again.


    It would be the same for the authorities in their home country who would simrly not allow Connor to


    continue staying with the Thompson family and likewise take him away.


    Hence, Shane and herself would rather employ the least efficient methods to try to track down


    Jacqueline than allow their own son to hack into the satellite, even though that might be the quickest


    way for them to pinpoint their targets.
