Chapter 258 - Instincts
"How did you know how to hack?" Bella squinted at the screen of Mo Li’s laptop. "You know that this is illegal, right?" Mo Li only chuckled in response, his eyes were already on Gabriel Ting. Right now, he was already sure that Lily’s mission should be the reincarnator. It had nothing to do with his own Quest. This was enough to make him smile with glee.
"I learned it because I know that one day, things like this would happen."
"Are you saying that I am someone who looked like I would hack someone’s CCTV?"
"Yes." She was someone who would record your conversation out of nowhere. He remembered how she loves to call eavesdropping, research, or information gathering. And right now, Mo Li was certain that despite forgetting, Lily’s personality would never change. She would forever remain the profiteer Lily that he knew.
"That’s insulting," Bella said but she nodded. "Yeah, you seem to really know me." She smiled and look at Gabriel whose face is already starting to show that he was bored. "How did you find him? I mean... you found him quickly. Was this because of your hacking skills?"
"You can say it like it." Obviously, Mo Li couldn’t really say that he already know the plot of this world, right? Bella might not call him crazy but judging from Lily’s nature, she would start thinking about the universe and his presence. This was something that Mo Li needed to avoid this time. He already tried informing her about him, in the last world, and in the end, he met some nasty punishment.
He was lucky, he still persevered and met her in this world. However, unlike Mo Li’s nature in the previous world, he was no longer doing things that would blatantly inform her that they already met each other in the past.
"Wow. I didn’t know the great Mr. Mo actually had this side." Bella laughed. Then she recalled how most politicians are just like this. They are really nice on the outside but had their own hidden sinister side. She continued observing Gabriel.
"Look at this, the man is called Mr. Son. He came from a fairly influential family. When you told me that Daniel might harm Gabriel because of your sister, I immediately asked my people to trace Daniel’s whereabouts and he actually met with this Mr. Son a few days ago."
"Your people are too quick," Bella uttered. This network was pretty impressive. How did they come up with such results in about an hour? Was this the power of technology?
"They are the best of the best. You know, once you are planning to enter politics, you needed your own team. However, since I am not doing much these days, they are only idling and basically just looking at articles that might be published against me. In most days, they aren’t doing anything." He explained, hoping that would be enough for Lily’s brains.
"Hmmm. I understand. Who is this woman?" Lily pointed at one of the women who seemed to be giving Gabriel extra attention.
"That should be one of their classmates in law school." Mo Li typed a few commands and a piece of information about the woman popped up on the screen. "She liked him."
Bella’s eyes widened. She was honestly impressed! While she wasn’t really that tech-savvy, she knew that technology in this world is pretty advanced. However, she didn’t know that it was actually this advanced! But then again, she also needed to consider the man behind the computer. Mo Li must be really skilled to be able to search someone’s identity just by a few commands! He even included the fact that the woman liked Gabriel! This...
This was too amazing!
Bella squinted at Mo Li’s hands on the keyboard. Hacking is a pretty useful skill however, she didn’t have the chance to be inside of a hacker yet. Should she just... copy this skill from Mo Li? Bella laughed inwardly when she remembered that her coins were actually nonexistent. Or at least compared to the price of copying a skill, her current coins are considered destitute.
"That is pretty obvious," Bella uttered after a few seconds of observing the woman’s reactions to Gabriel’s words. Even her gaze showed some signs of worship to the man. Bella sighed. "It seems that Daniel wanted him to lose his reputation. How about your people are they already inside the club?"
"Yes. They are. See that man over there and the other one next to their table? Those were the first two who got there. Another two are waiting at every exit of the club. Plus someone is also waiting in the VIP room on the second floor."
"VIP room?"
"Yes. It’s something that... that had some bed where VIP clients can have some good time with their dates once they are drunk."
For a few seconds, Bella frowned before she muttered. "Those people are truly stupid. How could they even try to have a good time with their dates in a room like that? If they are VIP clients then..." when she realized that she had voiced out her thoughts, Bella immediately pursed her lips and added. "Sorry about that." She didn’t know if this was a part of the original Bella’s personality or is if something weird is happening to her body again. All she knew is the fact that her instincts are telling her that she could trust Mo Li. Like she could say whatever she wanted and Mo Li would not judge her. "I am getting sleepy. Tonight, they might drug Gabriel and make her sleep with that woman." Bella yawned. "Please tell your men to take Gabriel out once that happens and take him somewhere safe. I needed to talk to that man tomorrow."
Without waiting for him to say anything, Bella already walked out of Mo Li’s office and went to their room. Because of this, Bella failed to see the huge smile that Mo Li had on his face.
