Chapter 304 Jeremy Was the Fox Mask Man
Amber had no idea what Jared was thinking about. She gaped. “What? You didn’t do it?”
Jared answered with a “hmm”.
Amber gripped her phone tightly.
If it wasn’t Jared, it must be done by Jeremy.
How could Jeremy be so competent? He had found out the detailed backgrounds of the marketing IDs and reporters within such a short time.
Thinking of that, Amber suddenly recalled what Jared once had told her before.
He said Jeremy wasn’t simple and asked her to be careful.
At that time, she just snorted in disdain. Now, she realized that she had been wrong.
Jeremy wasn’t so simple as she had thought.
“What’s wrong, Amber?” Jared was worried after hearing nothing from Amber for a moment.
Amber returned to her senses, pinching her nose bridge. “I’m fine. I must go now, Mr. Farrell. Bye.”
Then she put down the phone from her ear and hung up directly.
Jared frowned.
He wanted to talk to her more, but she hung up so quickly, much to his surprise.
Jared looked a bit annoyed. Raising his head unhappily, he looked at Ben. “Anything else?”
“Nothing else. Mr. Farrell, please excuse me.” Ben pushed up his glasses.
Jared waved his hand to agree.
Ben turned around, rolling his eyes.
Jared had been annoyed by Amber but vented his anger on him. Ben was so fed up with him.
If not for the sake of the company shares, he would have quit his job long ago.
At Goldstone.
Seeing that Amber tossed her cell phone to the table, Cole’s eyes twinkled. He asked hurriedly, “How did it go? Wasn’t it him?”
Amber shook her head. “No. It was Jeremy.”
Upon hearing it, Cole stood up in surprise. “You… How did you know it was Jeremy?”
Did Jared know Jeremy was a hacker?
Amber didn’t know why Cole was so excited. She threw him a weird look, “Of course, Jeremy told me himself. He said he would teach them a lesson. So did Jared. Since Jared didn’t do it, it must be Jeremy.”
“It turned out to be like this.” Cole breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.
It turned out Jeremy had told her himself.
Cole wondered if Jeremy was no longer hiding his secret from Amber.
Amber didn’t notice Cole’s weirdness. She took a sip of water and said, “Jeremy truly shocked me. How could he have done such a thing in silence? Who has taught him?”
He could dig out the dirty little secrets of anyone. Only a highly-proficient hacker was able to do this.
Moreover, Jeremy had checked so many people at once. Amber could tell he was an expert.
“Uh… How do I know?” Cole also picked up the water glass, pretending to drink the water.
Amber rubbed between her eyebrows. “I suddenly found I hadn’t known Jeremy much. What I know about him is still based on what I knew when he was fifteen. I didn’t realize he had already grown up and become unpredictable until now.”
“That’s not a big deal. Everyone has his secret. You only need to know he won’t hurt you. Don’t overthink,” Cole said casually, shrugging.
Upon hearing his words, Amber felt that it made sense indeed. She put down the water glass and answered, “You are right. As long as Jeremy doesn’t commit crimes, I don’t care if he has secrets.”
Moreover, Jeremy had done it to avenge her.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Amber tilted to check the phone. It was a call from the police station.
In a hurry, she picked it up and swiped to answer, “Hello?”
“Ms. Reed, a lot of netizens’ personal information has been exposed online. Do you know this matter?” the policeman asked.
Amber nodded and answered, “Yes, I do.”
“That’s good. You should also know the hacker has done it for you, right?” the policeman asked again.
Amber said, “Yes.”
“All right. I hope you can tell me the hacker’s information, Ms. Reed.” The policeman finally told her about the purpose of this call.
Amber looked over at Cole.
The latter instantly understood what she meant. He shook his head, hinting at her not to tell.
Amber didn’t want to tell them either. She took a deep breath to keep calm and make herself sound natural. “I’m sorry, Sir, but I have no idea who the hacker is.”
“No idea?” The policeman frowned.
Amber answered, “Right. I don’t know who he is. He has helped me twice, but I don’t know his real identity. The only thing I know is he likes wearing a fox mask.”
She had been bullied online before. At that time, a hacker helped her. Although she hadn’t met that hacker before, he left a fox symbol.
Later, Makenna was kidnapped. The man who had done it was also the hacker wearing a fox mask. Right then, Trenton suspected that Amber had asked the hacker to do so, so he even came to make trouble to her.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
At this moment, Amber was sure the fox mask man was Jeremy. Jeremy used to have a video call with Trenton. Since he dared to wear the mask in the video call, it meant he was pretty confident that others couldn’t find out who he was even through the fox mask as the clue. Hence, Amber didn’t think it would be a problem to tell the police about the fox mask.
After all, she must tell the police something. Otherwise, she would become suspicious.
“A fox mask?” The policeman instantly wrote down this clue. Then he asked, “Anything else, Ms. Reed?”
“Nothing else. I truly don’t know this hacker. You can look into my network and know I’m not lying,” Amber answered.
If Jeremy hadn’t told her himself, she would never know Jeremy was the fox mask man. This also showed how carefully Jeremy had hidden. Only a few people should know he was a skilled hacker.
Amber didn’t think the police would be able to find it out.
“All right. I got it. We will do the investigation. Ms. Reed, if you think about other clues, please inform us,” said the policeman.
Amber hummed. “Sure. I will.”
The phone conversation ended. Amber put down the phone and exhaled. Then she looked at Cole. “How was my response? Could they tell I was lying?”
“Not at all.” Cole thumbed up.
Amber smiled. “That’s good then.”
For Jeremy, she had tried her best to lie.
Fortunately, the result wasn’t bad.
“But I must tell him the police is after him,” Amber mumbled. Then she was about to call Jeremy.
After all, the government wouldn’t let such a skilled hacker be at large. They would forcibly let him work for the government.
Jeremy’s favorite job was being a model. He must be unwilling to work for the government.
“Stop it. You can’t call him.” Cole immediately pressed her phone and said solemnly, “Since you didn’t have a flaw when lying, the police wasn’t stupid either. They wouldn’t believe you so easily. Probably, they’ll contact the telecommunication company to monitor your calls.”
“Oh…” Amber inhaled upon hearing his reminder. Only then did she realize that she almost harmed Jeremy.
“Thank you so much for reminding me.” Amber looked at Cole gratefully.
The latter waved his hand with a smile. “It’s no big deal. I’ll call Jeremy and tell him through another way.”
“Okay. Thank you, Cole.” Amber nodded in agreement.
After staying longer, Cole left.
Soon, the evening came.
In Primary Medical Center, the red light above the operation room that had been on almost twenty years finally went out.
Elias went back to his office, feeling exhausted.
A nurse brought him dinner. “Dr. Lansdale, please have dinner.”
“Put it over there. Thanks,” Elias answered indifferently while closing his eyes.
The nurse put down the lunch box. When she was leaving and reached the door, she recalled something. She turned around and said, “By the way, Dr. Lansdale, I came to your office to get some documents in the morning and heard your cell phone ringing for a long time. The caller was named Angel.”
