Chapter 1845
"But you've said it yourself that the boss is just like a front desk and that there’s still someone else he
has to answer to,” Lily said.
"That's right, but I'm sure he also has important information and secrets on his hands." After pondering
for a long time, Mike believed the boss should have something to keep himself safe, even if he was
technically working for someone else.
Although he was a madman, he also had his own beliefs: this so-called plan and research. Before they
completed it, Mike was sure the boss would not allow himself to be in danger.
"So, what you're trying to say is..." A moment of silence later, Lily raised her brow and looked at Mike.
"We should work hand-in-hand and find the secrets together."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMike knew Lily was not here to serve the boss solely. She was just like him. He had been trying to free
himself from their control and leave the organization for the longest time. However, he needed to stay
to find Nick, but he still had no idea where Nick was until now.
Now that Lily was here, he considered her an extra help to him. Although risks were associated with
that, it made no difference because he believed he would also be at risk even if he were not doing
anything.
He could not care so much anymore and needed to save his son.
"What's your plan?" Lily inquired.
"I know he usually takes a break from work and rests in the afternoon, from about 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
every day, when the sun would be the brightest. I spied on him and learned he appeared weakest in
those two hours. He had never met anyone in that period, but he did for all the other hours.”
Sometimes, the boss would even summon his people at night and give them his orders.
Mike carefully counted and concluded that the boss had never met anyone from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. He
never did.
That meant he needed to be entirely alone for rest during those two hours. No matter what he would
do, or that he did not want to meet anyone at that time, or if it was because of other reasons, Mike
found that the two hours was the best and safest time to strike.
’Then?” Lily continued to ask.
She knew Mike must have had his rough plan, perhaps even a complete one, for him to tell her all this.
Otherwise, he would not say anything to her just yet.
"We'll split up. You'll head to the office to find information while I keep watch for you to prevent others
from finding out what we’re doing." Mike went straight to the point.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLily chuckled. "Why can’t you be the one to find information while I keep watch, then?"
'That works too." She did not expect Mike to agree to her suggestion so quickly without hesitation.
"I think it'll be more effective if we collaborate. It doesn't matter who goes into the boss's office or who
keeps watch outside. The most important thing we must remember is that we're running out of time."
Mike had been saying they were running out of time, and upon hearing it once more, Lily narrowed her
eyes at him. "What time are you talking about? It seems that this experiment has been on countdown
the entire time."
'Why is it on a countdown, and what is it for? Or rather, who was it for?'
Mike just pursed his lips and said nothing. He seemed hesitant, which was interesting to Lily. He would
tell her everything she asked before this, and it appeared that he hid nothing from her.
After all, there was no point hiding things from her now that she was here. However, Mike had always
been hesitant regarding time.
"It's fine if you can't tell me," Lily said, noticing his hesitation.
