Chapter 3208
Nicole and Jared had arrived at the Riddle Corporation.
Zane was already there when they entered the office, and Lulu, upon noticing
Nicole's arrival, promptly excused herself.
“You came in person!"
Nicole expressed her surprise.
“Don't worry, I just happened to be passing through San Joto, so I stopped by,"
Zane replied with a gentle tone in his eyes.
Guessing that Zane was on another mission, Nicole didn't press further and
directly inquired, “Any news about Charlie?"
“They've checked already.There's nothing unusual around the parking lot, but
they found a night security guard knocked out in the control room," Zane
explained.
Nicole nodded, already suspecting that the absence of security last night was
due to an assault.
“Can we confirm if Aquila was involved?"
Nicole continued her questioning.
Their primary concern was whether Aquila had appeared, as his presence could
imply that Everett might have escaped rather than being captured.
“It's still unclear, but it seems likely someone helped Everett, "
Zane stated, his expression turning grave.
“What did you find?"
Nicole prodded, sensing they must have stumbled upon a clue for Zane to make
such a remark.
Zane sighed and replied, “According to the investigation, there's a portion of the
surveillance footage missing from the route leading from Ellar's company.It
appears to have been deliberately erased.”
Regrettably, they were too late to recover that particular segment of the footage.
Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly as she slowly uttered a name, "Jerry."
Jerry, a master hacker, was always at Everett's side and certainly had the skills to
accomplish this.
“Have Preston try to restore it,"
Jared's deep voice interjected.
"He alone might not be able to find much significance in it anymore,” Zane said
softly.
Nicole insisted, "No, he's not alone, maybe they can give it a try."
She dialed Preston's number and got straight to the point, "I need your guys’ help
with something."
"Go ahead."
Even though Nicole hadn't specified, Preston knew whom she had referred to.
After Nicole explained the situation, she said, "I'll have the surveillance data sent
to you shortly.See if you can restore it, and the sooner, the better."
"Got it," Preston agreed promptly.
“I'll wait for your response," Nicole concluded before hanging up.
Zane, choosing not to probe further, suggested, “Since that's the case, I'll go
check on them too, to see if there are any other clues.”
“Alright,” Nicole nodded.
"Let's keep each other updated.”
Zane stood up, hesitated, and then cautiously broached, "In case something
happened to Charlie..."
“No, we can't think about “in case’ scenarios,"
Nicole firmly interjected.
Zane paused, taken aback, then silently left.
He understood Nicole's feelings; after all, they had both experienced the loss of
important allies before.
Jared, holding Nicole tenderly, whispered soothing words, "Relax, we need to
stay calm at this time."
Despite the worry, they couldn't afford to show any weakness.
