Chapter 697 The Cartridge Case

The news of Ciaran being taken away was blocked by the university. But one person down in the laboratory raised a storm of conjecture. Let alone Ciaran was the most popular one in the lab.

People inquired privately, and gossip always found its way to people. The news was leaked, more or less. However, the university had already ordered that discussions on this matter be strictly prohibited. No one dared to mention this accident in public. To avoid this situation, the school collaborated with the Procuratorate to conduct a detailed investigation into the family situation of the laboratory members and students enrolled. Not only did they investigate the backgrounds of the members, students themselves, and their parents, but they even investigated their grandparents to eradicate the occurrence of this situation.

When Catherine arrived at the laboratory, most of the members of their group were present. Seeing Catherine walking towards her seat calmly, a nosy senior immediately approached. Afraid of punishment, he could only ask Catherine about the situation in a low voice, “Catherine, could they have the wrong person? How could Ciaran be a snitch?”

Catherine turned her head to look at him and spoke calmly, “Let’s leave this to the professor and focus on experiments.” With that, Catherine sat down in her cube without looking back and started working. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Others would scold anyone in the lab who said so, but not Catherine. They all know Catherine very well, and nothing was more important to her than experiments. Even when things happened to her, she remained calm and focused entirely on her work. She only answered the question because they were in the same group. What more could they ask for? The senior, who got nothing from Catherine, could only sigh helplessly and leave.

Catherine was about to start the experiment. She took out her phone to turn it off when Zobber called. Catherine turned off her computer and left the lab to answer the phone.

“Catherine, thank god you answered the phone. I thought you had shut down your phone in the lab,” said Zobber on the phone.

“Almost,” answered Catherine.

“What?” Zobber was confused. But then she realized what Catherine meant.

She said, “That means we have a strong connection. I called just in time!”

Hearing the silence on the phone, Zobber dared not hesitate and quickly stated the purpose of the call. ” Catherine, I have something to tell you. Let’s meet somewhere!”

Catherine took a look at her watch and answered, “Meet me at Styre University in half an hour.”

“No problem!” Zobber agreed.

After half an hour, they met at the student center in Styre University. This was the busiest place in this area on weekdays, but now it was class time, so it seemed a bit lonely. Catherine found the coffee shop mentioned by Zobber and walked in.

“Catherine, here!” Zobber kept waving at Catherine from the second floor. Catherine nodded and walked up the stairs. She pulled a chair and sat across Zobber.

“Catherine, the Hacker Alliance recently took on a mission to find someone,” said Zobber.

Hearing what Zobber said, Catherine lifted her eyes and squinted at her. Catherine never intervened in their missions as long as the other party played under the rules of the Hacker Alliance.

Catherine’s stare gave Zobber goosebumps and made her tremble with coldness. “Catherine, this situation is complicated. The other party offered a high enough price and followed our rules, so we naturally had no reason to push them away, right? However, it was difficult to find the person with so few clues they provided.

Since Catherine rejected the exorbitantly-priced task placed by the Duncans, there had been many voices within the Alliance. If she did not take on the order now, the discussion would become uncontrollable, and it would not benefit anyone.

Zobber took out a photo and placed it in front of Catherine. “The picture is the only clue they provided.”

This photo was highly blurry. Obviously, it was taken secretly from a distance. The photo was taken from the side, and the woman’s face was covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of eyes.

“Do you know where the photo was taken?” asked Catherine.

“I found out about the location, but this is a photo taken ten years ago, and it’s difficult to find her,” answered Zobber. They had no choice but to come to Catherine.

Catherine ordered, “Carefully investigate. If you fail, give the customer a double refund.”

This was the rule of the Hacker Alliance. The customer would receive a double refund if the request was not fulfilled. However, this never happened even since the Hacker Alliance was established.

Catherine finished speaking expressionlessly, ready to get up and leave. If she was free, she might take the order and help find the woman in the photo. But she hadn’t been available recently, and the laboratory project was already quite promising. She planned to continue until the experiment was successfully done. In addition, with Shane’s eyes on her side, she had to pay constant attention. She had no plans to assign tasks to herself at the moment, let alone leave Loxton.

Seeing Catherine was about to leave, Zobber quickly stopped her, saying, ” Catherine, wait a minute, I haven’t finished speaking yet.”

Catherine turned to look at Zobber and said, “Speak up!”

Zobber took out a cartridge case from her pocket and handed it to Catherine. ” The person who posted the task also gave this to me. That was the person who saved us when we encountered an ambush in the central region.”

Catherine naturally recognized that special bullet. A few years ago, she sent Zobber and the others to complete a mission in the war-torn central region. Unexpectedly, the buyer suddenly backed out, causing them to be ambushed. Catherine was unable to participate in this mission for some unexpected reasons. To rescue Zobber and the others, Catherine used her power to connect with the leader of the local armed organization, asking them to find a way to save them.

But they could not rescue them in the military’s name. So, the leader hired a group of mercenaries to help Zobber and the others. Zobber specially made this bullet. Catherine asked her to hand it over to the mercenaries, considered a favor owed.

After that, she rushed to the central region and taught the buyers a lesson, ensuring they were scared to death every time they heard of Hacker Alliance.

She didn’t expect to see this cartridge case here today. Catherine was originally going to refuse but immediately changed her mind. She picked up the photo from the table and stuffed it into her pocket. “I’ll take on the task. You can go back now.”

Hearing this, Zobber breathed a sigh of relief and cheered loudly, “Hooray!”
