Chapter 380 The The Quintets’ Hacking
Edward uttered, “There’s not much we could do, then. Our people couldn’t find out anything, and Ss
isn’t dumb enough to let us convince him to do a DNA test.”
Lara requested, “Grandpa might know something, since he investigated this. Perhaps you could pick
up some clues from him.” Edward replied, “Yeah, I know what to do. Don’t you worry.” He joined her in
bed and held her in his arms. Lara let out a sigh. “Ben can’t do anything right. At first, he ruined his
chances with the Smith Family, and now the Jones. I guess we’ll have to count on our Aleena now.”
Edward said, “Be patient. Aleena’s still young. Why don’t we talk about this in two years?” Lara
squinted her eyes. “It doesn’t matter that she’s young. I keep getting this feeling that Ss is hiding
something. He’s got this different air around him now. We all know how far his influence stems. With
that negligible power of his, he doesn’t stand a chance against us. Could he be getting support from
somewhere else? Why am I feeling that we are losing more and more of our grip over him now?”
Edward exined, “Thepany has been growing rapidly for the past two years. He does seem to be
getting out of our control. Or you could be right-he might be busy getting chummy with Brian to join
forces with him.” Lara blurted, “Your sons areing back to bite you, the one that fed them. This was
all because you decided to let Ss stay back then. And here we are. Not only did we fail to hold any
shares in thepany, he also took the throne from us, with Grandpa backing him. If we find our
heads on his chopping board one day, do you think he would show us any mercy?” Edward took a
deep breath and admitted, “Yes, it’s all my fault for causing this mess.” Lara leaned in on him. “I
shouldn’t me you. Had Ie into your life earlier, all these wouldn’t have happened. I actually have
nothing against your son, but it’d be fair to at least be on equal standing with him. This is what I call
‘insurance’. I just don’t want to be defenceless when they trample over us.” The next day.
Ss called Brian the first thing in the morning to check on him.
Brian sounded exhausted; he merely replied, “I’m fine.” Ss raised his brow and asked, “What’s going
on?”
Slightly agitated, Brian answered, “Nothing.” Ss pursued, “Did you feel any headache after you wokeN?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
up?” Brian replied, ‘Woke up? I didn’t even sleep at all.” Ss was surprised. “You didn’t sleep? What
did you do, then?” Perhaps due to Ss’s incessant volley of questions, Brian went on to exin,”Our
company’s server system went down. The IT department was trying to get it up the whole night, but it
was useless. Damn it! The Quintets’ gang must have gotten someone to hack ourputer systems.
Once I’m done with this, I’m going to beat them up in their territory!” Ss thought to himself, The
Quintet’s gang members are probably good at fighting and robbing. Tech-savvy tactics, such as
hacking, don’t seem like their style. “Are you sure it was The Quintets gang?” Brian replied, “We fought
them back two nights ago, and the server went downst night. Who else could it be?” Ss asked, “So
what’s the status now? Can it be fixed?” Brian was agitated. “I have no idea. I’ve been keeping watch
here for the entire night. The IT team said two hours at first, and then they said they needed more time,
at least till tonight. I can’t tell you when it will be fixed. Why did I even recruit this group of useless
idiots?” Ss reassured, “Don’t fret. I’ll find someone to help you on that.” Brian asked, “Who?” He
paused. “Hello?” He looked at the cellphone. Did he just hang up on me? He decided not to think
further. Whoever was being sent over might not be able to solve the problem anyway. Every member of
his IT team was well paid and highly capable, and they were recruited precisely to prevent such
breakdowns from happening.
