After saying that, Nora walked past him and out with Justin.
There was no point in staying in the lab any longer. They were going to interrogate Jude to find out who was giving him the orders so they could find the mastermind behind it all.
It was only when the two reached the entrance that Howard finally understood what Nora was referring to. His eyes widened in disbelief and he looked at Nora from behind, shocked and amazed.
When he did, he saw that, because the door was a bit narrow and two people could not pass through it at the same time, Justin unconsciously backed up half a step as Nora stepped out quietly without sensing that anything was wrong.
Howard: ââ¦â
Since when did Justin give way to others?
He had always been the leader of the family, yet now he was naturally giving way to someone else.
Besides being in love with her, it was even more because that person was worthy of him doing it!
So, she really was the Big Sister!
It was no wonder that Justin, who had always been very protective of his own, didnât say a word when he spoke ill of Nora. If that wasnât enough, he had even given her a seemingly half amused look.
At the time, he had thought it was because Justin liked Big Sister, but he was finally realizing why now!
Howard felt as if he had been slapped in the face, and he felt distressed.
He had made fun of Big Sister.
Was it too late to apologize?
With that in mind, Howard hurried after them.
Along the way, Nora kept thinking about the problem she was facing, wanting to know the details of the V16 track. After the incident just now with Jude, she couldnât wait any longer.
Her pace couldnât help but quicken. Justin followed close behind her.
When the two reached the car, Justin was about to open the car door for Nora when a figure rushed over, opened the car door and humbly said, âNora, be careful not to hit the top of the door!â
Nora: ââ¦â
Justin: ââ¦â
Howard looked at Nora with an ingratiating smile. âNora, what do you think of my martial arts, do I have any hope of getting into the Quinn School of Martial Arts and becoming your disciple?â
Nora stood thinking for a while. Suddenly, she sighed and said, âLet the old man teach you instead.â
Then she picked up her phone and called Quinn.
Quinn made a lot of noise. He yelled, âWhatâs the matter, sleepyhead?â
Nora touched her nose, not quite used to someone calling her by a nickname. She coughed and said, âI found you a disciple.â
ââ¦Youâve found me a disciple, I agree, and yet youâve taken it so lightly? If you want to take a disciple, take one for yourself!â replied Quinn.
Next to Nora, Howard felt as if his heart was in his throat when he heard Quinn.
He had met Quinn before. Back then, when he was in New York, Quinn hadnât even shown Justin any courtesy. Wasnât Nora being too rude to him?
Would Quinn kick her out in a fit of anger?
Just as he was thinking about it, he hears Nora calmly say, âIâve already told him to come to New York and get you.â
ââ¦Heâd better bring a present!â
âOkay.â
â⦠Agreed? What do you mean, âagreedâ? You useless disciple, youâ¦â
Before Quinn could finish, Nora hung up the phone and looked at Howard silently. âQuinnâs old, so heâs kind of neat. Donât mind him.â
Howard was already frozen in place like a statue.
He had never imagined Quinn was going to accept him just like that. Besides, Nora had the upper hand in her conversations with Quinn.
While he was in a daze, Nora and Justin jumped in the car, drove out of the place and headed straight for the Huntsâ family home.
Even if there were people outside following them, they would not be able to enter the residence.
Jude was taken by Morris and Brenda.
After returning to the family home, Howard asked, âNora, why didnât you bring Jude?â
Nora was puzzled. âWhat for, interrogation?â
Howard frowned and replied, âYes, didnât you catch him to find out who it was that was giving him the orders?â
â⦠Arenât Morris and the others more apt when it comes to interrogating prisoners?â.
Then why should she bring the prisoner in and do it herself instead?
If she had so much free time, sheâd better catch up on her lost sleep!
Thinking about this, Nora curved her lips in disdain.
Howard: ââ¦â
When they arrived at the familyâs house, it was already 10 oâclock at night. After entering, Nora and Justin leisurely ate dinner and headed to their room to rest.
After the two entered, a servant in the Hunt family home quietly went to an inconspicuous corner, pulled out a phone and made a call.
âIt seems they havenât found the codebook. Otherwise they would have rushed to read it.â
The person on the other end of the call said something and the servant replied, âOkay, I understand, sir.â
After saying this, he hung up the phone, calmly made up an excuse and walked over to the door of the room Justin and Nora were in. While no one else was there, he pressed his ear against the door and listened to the voices inside.
Nora said to him, âDonât get so anxiousâ¦take it easyâ¦â.
âNora, donât move. Let me do itâ¦â
Crackâ¦
âAre you satisfied?â
What followed were suggestive sounds, which even made the man listening blush.
After the man listened for a while longer, he finally turned and left. Then he pulled out his phone and sent a text message, âIâm sure they havenât found the codebook.â
Inside the room.
Nora sat quietly on the couch with the ledger, and the codebook she had found, in her hand, then read it quietly.
On the edge of the bed, Justin had placed a hand on the bed and pressed hard, making it creak.
He continued his performance.
âNora, are you feeling all right?â
âNora, do you want more?â
âNora, are we going to do it again?â
âWhat, one more time, are you really trying to squeeze your husband?â.
Nora: ââ¦â
That man was simply too brazen. Even if he was just acting, wasnât he going too far?
The corners of her lips tightened. âHave you taken any kind of medication? How many times do you plan to do it in one night?â
Justin laughed. âIâm very strong, why donât you try me?â
Nora: ââ¦â
The man was actually getting more and more explicit after the two of them were together.
She lowered her head and kept looking at the code book in her hand.
Five minutes later, the code was cracked.
As she looked at the information revealed, Nora held her forehead in surprise.
Apparently sensing her peculiar reaction, Justin finally finished his âexerciseâ alone on the bed and approached her. When he saw the Morse code translations recorded in her notebook, he frowned as well. âThatâs it?â
Nora let out a silent sigh. âI knew it, Mom must have set us up again! What should we do?â
