Chapter 416 A Plot “I would like to apologize to you, on behalf of the strategic department, for the trouble we have brought to your company.”

After explaining, Koga saluted Darcy.

Darcy said, “No need to apologize. It’s our duty to cooperate with the drill. The prevention exercise is beneficial to the citizens.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Quint. We might perform more drills in this office building in the future, so we hope to get your permission to build a helicopter landing on the rooftop.

“I hope you can have your employees keep the drill a secret as well.”

Koga covered his bases.

That way, they would respond right away whenever Darcy met with trouble.

Today was a false alarm.

Still, considering Kaze’s identity, no one could guarantee Darcy’s safety.

Not finding it an issue, Darcy agreed to Koga’s proposal.

“Please carry on working and keep what happened to yourselves.

“The company will invite experts to conduct a lecture on the matter. I hope you will take this seriously. Leaking important secrets of national security is a serious crime.”

Once Koga was gone with his men, Darcy told her employees once more.

“Who is Ms. Quint’s husband? He arrived hanging off the helicopter.”

“Shh. Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t. Didn’t you hear Ms. Quint warning us? We can be arrested for endangering national security if we talk about Mr. Lee. You and your family will be ruined.”

“Oh, my god!”

As Darcy had gone to her office, she did not catch what her employees talked about.

Kaze took a call from Snow outside.

“Mr. Chairman, we traced a hacker who assessed Ms. Quint’s phone to send the text message.”

Furrowing his brows, Kaze said, “Have you located the hacker?”

“Yes. We pinpointed the location at a junior high in a remote area. The culprit is a minor.

“He said that he was following the instructions of someone online, and in return, he would receive skin for his League of Legends character. The cyber police’s pursuit of the IP address hit a brick wall because it was a spoof.”

In other words, they reached a dead end.

Kaze ended the call and frowned. He did not believe that the text message was a prank.

Who could be behind the plot?

The investigation had led him nowhere so far. Kaze had no idea what the party was after.

“Something’s off about you today, Kaze. You look like you have. something on your mind. Did something happen?”

Darcy drew close.

“I was worried you might be in trouble. I still feel unsettled, but I’m fine.”

Kaže smiled.

Darcy took another look at Kaze before uttering, “Come on. We should head to the Lily Garden Hotel. My mom is rushing us.”

Agnes said yesterday that Agatha’s family would be in the city today.

“Mr. Lee, Ms. Quint.”

Simon, the manager of Lily Garden Hotel, personally welcomed Kaze and Darcy to the hotel.

Darcy was used to Simon’s constant graciousness as she had been to the hotel several times lately. She said with a smile.

“Don’t let us take up your time, Simon. We know our way to the private lounge.”

With Kaze giving the nod, Simon excused himself.

Hector, Agnes, and Sky were present in the private lounge.

Agatha was there with her husband, Nelson; her son, Landon; and her daughter, Rose.

The two families were not the only ones around. A tall and fine young man in casual wear was in attendance too.

Kaze and Darcy could hear the laughter inside before entering the private lounge.

“There you are, Kaze and Darcy.”

Sky opened the door for them.

The swelling on his battered face had gone down after he applied. Kaze’s medicine.

“Kaze? When did you get yourself a boyfriend, Darcy?”

Agatha frowned to see Darcy with another man.

The family, including the young man, turned to Kaze.

The young man looked at Kaze chillingly.
