Chapter: 1293
Quintin was stunned. He sat up straight. Rachel's words sent a chill down his spine.
"Boss, don't get me wrong! I'm busy.. I'm really busy!
It's just that I'm worried about you and Joe." Quintin tried to explain himself to Rachel. If he could just swear he was telling her the truth, he would.
"You're worried about me and Joe?"
Quintin took a deep breath and then said a serious tone, "That incident is quite odd. It's obvious that someone deliberately made the situation worse. And then, Joe was kidnapped so I thought I'd look into it and try to find the person behind it."
A construction worker was seriously injured and went into a coma. The person in charge committed suicide.
The more Quintin thought about it, the more he became convinced that someone was pushing this matter so that it would turn public opinion against them. It was like the person wanted the people to take the incident more seriously.
"I was wondering who could hit the nail on the head. It is very evident in the project progress of the Sullivan Group. If it was a competitor, he may not be so efficient. Besides, once problems were found in an infrastructure project, the investigation team would definitely look into other projects. They would probe into these competitors’ projects and they might tighten the policy," Quintin pondered aloud.
"So even if competitors could get first-hand information about the project of the Sullivan Group, they would never dare to be so arrogant notwithstanding how they acquired the information and the trouble this might cause. After all, there is a high probability that they sow the wind and reap the whirlwind in the end. So, it seems that the person behind all these could be Odin."
Rachel lowered her head and didn't say anything.
“Boss," Quintin said tentatively after a while.
“Go on, I'm listening."
Quintin heaved a sigh before he spoke again.
“Boss, why don't you and Joe come back as soon as possible?"
Rachel picked the towel on the chair and folded it. She then stood up and walked back to the bathroom to put the towel away. As she thought about what Quintin had said, her expression changed momentarily. It happened too fast that it wouldn't be noticed by anyone.
“Why?"
“Odin is back. Victor has been injured. The Baltimore project is the talk of the town. It's obvious that the situation in Apiliaria is going to change. I'm worried that you and Joe will be involved in the fight between Odin and Victor."
Rachel furrowed her brows, thinking that Quintin's worries seemed justifiable.
“Boss, my job is done. Maybe I should fly to Apliaria and bring you two back. If Victor dares to stop you, I'll fight him to death. But
I don't believe that he'd dare to be an enemy of the Red Hackers.
Boss, this is not four years ago. You are not the same person as you were then. You are now the president of the Red Hackers. I don't think Victor has the power to stop you."
Rachel mulled over Quintin's words before she said, "Okay. The bandage on Joe's arm will be removed in two weeks. When it's done,
I'll go back to the Red Hackers with him."
"I'L pick you up then." Quintin sighed in relief when he heard that
Rachel had finally agreed to return.
