The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 540
When the restaurant owner saw several important guests come back asking to review the surveillance footage, she became very
nervous and quickly explained. “Guys, it’s not that I don’t wanna let you see the tapes, but our security system’s really got some
bugs I can’t open it and I can’t see a thing”
Balfour coolly looked up and checked out the cameras around the restaurant and the counter. Just like Theo said, the cameras
were not broken because the power lights were still flashing
So he told the owner, “We already know your security system’s messed up, so we brought our tech guy to fix it. You just need to
go along with this”
Even though the owner didn’t recognize these guests, she could tell from their outfits and demeanor that they were not ordinary
people. And the problem did happen
in her restaurant, so she didn’t refuse.
“Alight
Balfour called over his best computer engineer from the company, signaling him to check where the system had gone wrong.
The engineer, getting the boss’s orders, nodded and got the owner’s permission. He went behind the counter and started to
check why the security system wouldn’t open and kept crashing
The owner was standing nearby, mumbling about when the system might have gone wrong and if it would be hard to fix
The Howard Group’s computer engineer was very professional. He quickly found out the problem was a coding error in the
system that caused it to crash whenever it was opened and he immediately started fixing it.
In less than ten minutes, the engineer finished the job.
“Mr. Howard, it’s fixed.”
The owner was surprised, “Wow, it’s really fixed’ How did you do it so fast? You guys are amazing!”
Balfour then instructed. “Now find the surveillance footage from the private room where these four had lunch.”

“Sure thing. Mr. Howard”
After getting the instruction, the engineer turned to the owner, “Could you tell me the name of the room and the exact lunchtime?”
The owner answered truthfully.
The engineer nodded and started looking for the footage, but soon ran into a problem and said with a frown, “Mr. Howard, I can’t
find the footage. All other surveillance has been restored, except there’s no memory card in that room’s camera”
Balfour frowned and looked at the owner questioningly, “What’s going on?”
The owner looked bewildered and shook her head, “I have no idea! There should be a memory card. No one has touched those
cameras since the system went down. They’re all hung high up, where even our cleaning staff can’t reach!”
Balfour looked at the owner, feeling like she wasn’t lying, so he told his engineer, “Go check that room.”
‘On it.”
In less than a minute, the engineer came back and reported regretfully. “Mr. Howard, there is indeed no memory card in the
camera in the room. It must have been
taken!”
