Chapter 192
Harriet was about to head upstairs to rest when her phone rang.
Upon hearing the news, she asked Joe if a hacker organization could be behind this and urged him to investigate.
Joe had a friend who was the head of an international hacker organization, so the investigation shouldn’t be too difficult.
By noon, Delbert still hadn’t returned, and Harriet was anxiously awaiting Joe’s call.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before he called back.
“Miss Harriet, I’ve discovered that the breach into King’s system wasn’t the work of a hacker organization, but rather a hacker known as ‘Summer’,” Joe reported.
“Three years ago, he infiltrated the system of the hacker organization where Q was based. At that time, Q had a face-off with him. This hacker is incredibly skilled; even Q barely managed to fend him off and protect their core data.”
“Is it possible for Q to step in and help intercept this hacker’s intrusion?” Harriet asked urgently.
“My contact mentioned that although we can’t pinpoint this hacker’s exact IP address, some indicators suggest he’s currently in Wisteria. Perhaps the network of systems in that region could intercept him.”
From Joe’s tone, it was clear that he was taking the situation seriously. It seemed that Summer was a formidable foe.
“How did we end up crossing paths with such a heavy hitter?” Harriet

King’s transactions had always been straightforward, with willing buyers and sellers.
They didn’t typically offend anyone.
“I’ll look into the specifics,” Joe promised, hanging up the phone.
As time ticked by, Harriet paced in front of the sofa, wondering when King might have upset someone.
Not long after, Joe called again.
Harriet had hoped it was news that the crisis had been resolved, but instead, what Joe reported left her stunned.
“Miss Harriet, our headquarters just informed us that due to a data leak, our recent order to deliver a vial of A-type serum to a tribal chief in Ysabel was intercepted before it could cross the border. If we fail to deliver the serum on time, King will be liable for double the compensation,” said Joe.
“The market price of the A-type serum is 80 million dollars, so the double compensation would amount to 160 million,” said Harriet, calculating the potential loss.
They could cover it, but her main concern was something else. “Do you know who intercepted our serum?”
was convinced that the group who intercepted the serum and the e who breached the system were on the same side.
The border authorities reported that the serum was seized by a mercenary group. They were merely hired hands, and we can’t trace the mastermind behind the operation,” said Joe.
Every time King made a delivery, they deployed a professional team. Yet the opposition was able to mobilize mercenaries willing to risk

‘Who are we dealing with?’ Harriet pondered.
Joe seemed to receive some good news, as his voice took on an excited tone.
“Miss Harriet, turn on your computer. I’m sending you a video of Q’s confrontation with the hacker,” he said.
Harriet immediately went to Delbert’s study, grabbed a laptop, and followed Joe’s instructions to power up the computer, install the software, and connect to his system. A video soon popped up on the
screen.
Meanwhile, Delbert was in his top-floor office at Carlson Group,
fingers dancing on the keyboard. On his screen, a user with the code name ‘Q’ was warding off a data breach.
Summer and Q clashed, one erecting a firewall while the other dismantling it.
As Harriet watched the video of their confrontation, she glanced at the clock. It was already seven o’clock in the evening, but Delbert hadn’t returned yet.
If he were to suddenly bump into this scene, how would she explain it?
Harriet quickly dialed Delbert’s number.
She wanted to get an idea of when he would be back so she could mentally prepare herself.
After a few rings, Delbert finally picked up.
Through the phone, Harriet thought she heard him typing.
DUIU.
