Chapter 89: Chapter 89

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Avery said seriously. "Investigating such a big case is not a joke. Be serious."

"Okay," Daniel immediately restrained his excited expression and stood with his hands by his side like a primary school student. "I will definitely correct my attitude."

Avery then gave a few instructions to Rufus and asked him to send someone to drive her back. On the way back, Avery sent a message to Alexander and told him what had happened that night, but she did not mention that she was Lockwood.

Alexander: [You are awesome.]

Avery pursed her lips and smiled. She replied, [You’re great too.] Then, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh. Even she herself did not understand. It was just a few simple sentences. Why was she so happy?

Alexander: [Please have a good rest, Miss Carter. Don’t tire yourself out from investigating cases.]

Avery: [I will be careful. Also, I will investigate if Zoe spread the news that your sister is seriously ill. If so, I will give you a result.]

Investigating a case was a very serious matter. It was taboo to have preconceived notions and decide the case without any evidence. No matter how much she suspected Zoe, she would not conclude without evidence. Otherwise, she might mislead the real culprit.

Alexander: [I’m already investigating this matter. I should be able to find something soon. Your time is so precious. There’s no need to waste time on this matter for the time being. I’ll let you know as soon as I have a result.]

Avery sent him a smile emoji and replied, [Okay, then I’ll go and investigate the case from five years ago.]

Alexander: [Thank you for your hard work, Miss Carter. Goodnight.]

At this moment, Alexander was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window on the 67th floor. Facing the prosperity and flowing light of a supercity, he repeatedly read his conversation with Avery. The gentleness in his eyes and the smile on his lips did not disappear.

He did not even notice that Louis had come to his side. Louis coughed lightly to remind him. Alexander came back to his senses, put away his phone, and glanced at him indifferently.

Louis said, "The people sent to Aeloria found the hacker who anonymously sent the photos to Archie and the others. The hacker confessed everything, but he only knows that the person who bribed him came from Osceston. He doesn’t know the other party’s background. Moreover, the other party has already canceled the email address they used. In addition, the hacker went to the designated location to get the cash. We can’t trace the source of the money online. The people I sent brought this hacker’s computer back, along with his detailed statement."

Louis placed the laptop and a statement on the desktop and continued, "Now it’s up to you."

Alexander didn’t say anything. He went to the computer, turned it on, and quickly operated it. After a moment, he found a few USB drives in the drawer and repeatedly inserted them into the laptop. He used his program to search for what had been destroyed. His operation was fast and complicated. Louis could not understand it, but he felt that it was impressive.

An hour later, the computer screen flashed, and a live broadcast appeared. On the screen, a girl with a facial mask was sitting in front of the camera. She seemed to be staring at the computer screen.

Louis looked at it carefully and was surprised. "This is... Zoe? You hacked into her computer and took control of the computer’s camera?"

Alexander said calmly, "To be precise, I found the mastermind behind the bribery of the hackers."

"What the hell?" Louis was surprised. "Who gave her so much courage to make trouble with you?"

Alexander exited the computer and said expressionlessly, "What does the Murray family do?"

Louis said, "They mainly run shopping malls and plastic surgery hospitals. They also like to invest and manage their finances. West End’s most famous local shopping mall is run by the Murray family. It has a total of five shops in the province. It’s very popular. The famous chain of plastic surgery hospitals in Oscelton, Charming Beauty, is also opened by the Murray family. Almost all major cities have branches, and the number of them is more than 20. Their business runs very well. More than half of the proceeds come from plastic surgery hospitals."

Alexander said calmly, "I want the Murray family’s plastic surgery hospitals to shut down within a week."

Louis’s reaction was equally mild and replied, "Okay."

The Murray family is truly wealthy in Rosemont City, but compared to our Moran Group, it is still fragile. Moreover, Lucy is Mr. Moran’s reverse scale! How ignorant is Zoe to take the initiative to offend Lucy and Mr. Moran? he thought.

Avery did not know that Alexander would attack Zoe so quickly. After sending messages to Alexander, she thought for a moment and went online to search for Alexander. Immediately, a message popped up. It read, [Alexander Moran’s gossip girlfriend visits Lucy late at night. May become his true girlfriend.]

The content was roughly like this: After Alexander and Richard’s press conference ended, a long-haired woman wearing a mask drove into the Moran Hotel. She stopped at Lucy’s residence and stayed in the house the whole night. It was not until 5:30 the next morning that Alexander left with the woman in a car and sent her back home before heading to the company.

The article was accompanied by two photos. One was a photo of the long-haired woman preparing to walk into the building late at night. The other was a picture of Alexander opening the car door for the long-haired woman in front of the same building in the morning. The woman’s clothes and attire did not change.

The comments section was very lively. The netizens were discussing this woman’s identity, background, appearance, and so on. They were analyzing if she had a chance to become Alexander’s true girlfriend or even get married. Of course, most netizens were envious, jealous, and hated this woman.

Regarding this, Avery remained calm. She was certain that the woman who left the hotel with Alexander the next morning was Lucy, and the so-called "gossip girlfriend" had replaced Lucy in the building to attract attention and protect Lucy from being disturbed by the outside world. This kind of news must have been deliberately released by Alexander. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the news to survive a night on the Internet.

After reading it, Avery checked if there was any other news from Alexander and Lucy. Nothing else.

Avery went home. She entered the studio, opened her beloved quantum computer, and typed in a few keywords. Immediately, a few large display screens displayed images of drones that met the requirements. Avery looked through them carefully, picked out some of them, and sent them to Rufus.

[I want these drones, the sooner the better], she ordered.

Then, she took a shower and went to bed. When she woke up in the morning, she sent the arrangements for today’s investigation to Rufus and Daniel.
