Chapter 1372

A sense of unease surged within Julian’s heart.

“I can’t leave Richburgh in any vehicle?”

He had no idea that there was someone in Richburgh with the power to restrict his travel like this!

“Sir…” Noel hesitated, lacking confidence to speak. “It’s not that your vehicles can’t leave the capital or go to Jacroaof. It’s more…”

He opened the navigation app and showed Julian the current road conditions.

“There’s a crucial section on the route from Richburgh to Jacroaof that has been under maintenance since yesterday. Even if we drive there, we won’t be able to cross. We…”

Julian chuckled, his laughter mocking.

“Noel.”

He tapped his fingers on the table, raising Noel’s unease further.

“Do you truly believe that the maintenance on that road is absolutely necessary?”

Everything was piling up. Almost every mode of Julian’s transportation was sealed tightly. The goal was clear—to keep him in Richburgh.

Don’t even think about going to Jacroaof, let alone see Diana!

“No.”

Noel shook his head. He was initially worried that Julian might become overly concerned about Diana due to these abnormal occurrences, and lose his composure. However, seeing Julian’s current calm state reassured him.

He began to share his thoughts. “There’s no necessity, but the government is leading the maintenance of that road, and it’s directly cut off. It might take a while before it’s repaired.”

As Julian’s assistant, Noel undoubtedly had his areas of expertise. Presenting Julian with a problem also meant providing corresponding solutions.

So, he continued, “But if Fulcher Inc. invests, I believe that road can be fixed within three to four days.

It’s not difficult.”

The catch was that Julian would need to stay in Richburgh for a few more days.

“It’ll be useless.” Julian’s insight went deeper and farther than Noel’s. “Even if that road is fixed, other roads will be cut off and be undergoing maintenance.”

Right now, he wasn’t worried about being unable to leave Richburgh. He was concerned about whether the person preventing him from leaving was Jim.

If it really was him, then Diana was like a helpless lamb in the tiger’s den.

Julian had no choice but to worry.

“Are you sure that with this modified wearable microcomputer you designed, you can control all the backend systems of land, sea, and air transportation computers? This will cause this person named Julian Fulcher to have ticket purchase failures?”

Sean nodded reluctantly.

If he had known that the person interrogating him was going after Julian, his own father, he would have remained silent and endured the torture.

But now, the ball had already been sent rolling. If he didn’t comply with their demands, didn’t showcase his computer skills, or reveal his relationship with Julian, these people would undoubtedly make his death even more miserable.

Sean could only focus sincerely on upgrading the small computer on his wrist. He configured it according to their requirements, setting up the program to intercept Julian’s travel plans.

This way, all modes of land, sea, and air transportation were thwarted.

On the surface, Julian appeared perfectly normal, and there were no issues with major ticketing systems. However, any attempt to purchase tickets using his identity would trigger the program Sean had set up, resulting in a ticket purchase failure.

Presumably, his father leaving Richburgh for Jacroaof wasn’t a matter of great importance. It was probably just a business trip.

Sean didn’t know that Julian was going to find Diana. After comforting himself with this thought, he quickly felt better.

He even assured confidently, “With the program I’ve set up, this person named Julian Fulcher will definitely not be able to leave Richburgh.”

Even Julian’s private jet could be controlled through the tiny electronic device in front of the interrogator. He was truly impressed.
