Chapter 479: Chapter 475: Is that hacker an insider?

Translator: 549690339

Roy Lewis had been in the hospital for a week, and was finally permitted to move around in a wheelchair.

Just in time, Kennedy Green had squeezed out some time to visit him. Kennedy was pushing Roy in his wheelchair, suggesting they go out for some sunshine.

Richelle Dunn knew that these two were about to discuss confidential matters, and tactfully chose to stay within the hospital room.

In the open grassland, Kennedy pushed Roy slowly in his wheelchair.

“Denny Thompson is awake, and he has confessed to everything.”

Roy had previously heard from Nathan Caroule about Denny’s unconsciousness. Now that he heard that Denny had awakened, he responded.

“He probably just wishes to die outright.”

Kennedy replied, “Yes. After waking up, he tried to remove his tubes several times, but luckily there were people watching him.”

From his actions at the time, it indeed seemed that he harbored the intention to die alongside Roy.

Otherwise, it was well known that anyone who dared to harm Roy would wish they were dead instead.

“Did he mention his motives?”

Kennedy lowered his gaze to the nephew sitting in the wheelchair, his head wrapped in bandages and his leg in a cast.

“He said it was due to the large-scale crackdown in the middle region, which had completely cut off his finances.”

This motive was consistent with what Roy had conjectured.

Kennedy then began to ponder before speaking up.

“Roy, I’m about to say something you might not want to hear.”

Roy vaguely guessed what he was going to say.

“The fact that you were the commander of this operation was a secret. In theory, your exposure risk was very low. But given that Denny managed to precisely pin down your whereabouts and intelligence, I suspect that there’s a mole amongst us!”

Roy ummed, “So, do you suspect someone?”

Kennedy locked his gaze onto him, “Yes, most people suspect the hacker who was providing you with the information.”

Roy had anticipated their suspicion but hearing his uncle verbalize it made him laugh out loud.

His laughter baffled Kennedy, “Roy, I know you’re protecting this hacker, but your life is at stake. I believe it would be better to reveal what you know about them. If you can’t investigate it, perhaps I could find another way to look into this.”

With a chuckle, Roy asked Kennedy, “Uncle, if there’s anyone in this world who would protect me even at the cost of their own life, who do you think it would be?”

Kennedy didn’t fully comprehend the correlation between the two matters. Still, honestly answering the nephew, he said.

“Your grandfather and I; your kids are too young to protect you. Apart from us, it could only be Richelle.”

Roy responded, “So, even you think she can’t do it, why would you suspect her?”

Kennedy still hadn’t grasped the connection for a while, “What does the hacker have to do with your grandfather, me, and Richelle?”

The moment he finished his question, it suddenly dawned upon him.

Then, after what seemed like an indefinite period of astonishment, he uncertainly asked.

“Roy, are you suggesting that Richelle is the…”

Roy interrupted him, “Yes! She found it out too. Remember when we were stuck in a tough battle on the sixth or seventh day of the operation? It was because of crucial supplementary information that she passed time and again, that we were able to fine-tune our subsequent plans and achieve final victory. I will provide this proof once I’m better, to clear her name!”

Kennedy seemed yet to recover from the shock, “Roy, are you sure it’s Richelle?”

Roy chuckled lightly, “Of course, am I stupid? I discovered the truth by following the breadcrumbs. She’s my bedside partner, do you think I can mistake her?”

Kennedy sighed, “Alright then, I initially thought that my nephew was too good for her. But as it seems, looks like my nephew doesn’t measure up to her   ”

Roy laughed, “I am indeed punching above my weight. Turns out, they’re right; our Lewis ancestors must be smoking hot in their graves!”

Kennedy patted his shoulder, “You, take good care of Richelle and the kids, or else you really will get struck by lightning.”

Kennedy knew that during the sixth or seventh day of the operation if there had been no new supplementary information, they would have transitioned from the stalemate to being on the defensive, and in the end, they might have been the ones to be surrounded instead.

During that time, the situation was indeed very critical, and Kennedy, despite pulling every string possible and using every resource at his disposal, couldn’t find a breakthrough.

It was the supplemental information that Roy later received that totally reversed their disadvantage in the entire operation.

How strategic and insightful must have one been to deliver action-turning information against such a disadvantage at that time?

To label such a person merely a hacker was absolutely underestimating her.

“Uncle, I wouldn’t dare!”

This was, of course, Roy making a joke.

But to be serious, if Richelle were ever on his opposing side, she could take his life in minutes!

Evidently, Kennedy too was pondering upon this point.

“Fortunately, she’s our ally!”

If she were on the enemy’s side, they couldn’t have thought of a way to defend her!
