Chapter: 821

"The central control room?" Although he had already guessed where

Joey was going, Gatlin still stumbled. The cold and stern face of the director flashed through his mind.

"No, you can't go there."

“Why not?" Joey frowned.

“Even the employees that work in the lab aren't given access without permission, let alone an outsider. Why do you even want to go to the central control room in the first place?"

"I just want to visit it," the boy replied.

"And of course, I can't wait to see how terrible the program codes you designed are."

He sounded extremely arrogant. But somehow, after hearing what Joey said, Gatlin began to think that the program code was just as bad.

But soon, he came to his senses and refused to get out of the child's way.

"No, I still can't let you go."

Joey frowned. If he knew that this man would make him go through this kind of trouble, he would not have helped him.

Gatlin said in a gentle voice, "Kid, there is nothing interesting in the central control room, and you can't understand it either. How about taking you to eat something instead? Thereafter, I'LL accompany you to find your family. What do you think?"

"No, I don't want that!" Joey refused. He was very decisive with his response. This left Gatlin with no chance as regards persuading him.

As a matter of fact, the words that came to his mouth were forcefully stopped.

All of a sudden, they heard a piercing sound! It was a warning alarm.

Gatlin's face suddenly changed. He was unsettled.

"Damn, a hacker is attacking our system!"

The door to the central control room was opened. And the director's sharp and stern voice sounded again.

"What exactly are you waiting for? Get to work! Fix it as soon as possible!"

Gatlin turned around. His focus was now on the cause of the very noisy alarm.

There were more than a dozen computers in the room which gave out different sounds at the same time. Their screens constantly flashed red light too. This was in order to indicate an error. Everyone present in that given moment lowered their head and paid rapt attention to work. Each of them had a serious look on their face.

Some people rushed into the central control room while others hurried out.

Having observed the rate of activity, Gatlin frowned and pursed his lips before taking a subconscious step towards the room as well. But someone began to pull him back before he could even get in.

He followed the direction of the force, only to look down and see a small hand grabbing his shirt.

"Kid?" Gatlin stared at Joey in outright confusion.
