Chapter 156
Jules was the honorary dean of the College of Medicine at Maple Grove University, the most outstanding neurology expert both domestically and internationally. Any surgery became feasible with him on board.
However, he was quite the enigma, elusive, and capricious, making it difficult to secure his services.
“We’ve managed to stabilize Miss Aisha’s condition with medication, but if she doesn’t undergo cranial surgery within 48 hours, she could be in danger.”
Jules, ever the phantom, could vanish for months on end for his medical research. Finding him within 48 hours and convincing him to treat Aisha was going to be a Herculean task.
But they had to try!
“Is there a computer available?” Connor stood up, asking.
Though the doctor didn’t understand what Connor needed it for, he promptly replied, “Yes, of course.”
The doctor led Connor to his workstation, where Connor sat down and began typing rapidly on the keyboard. Lines of code flashed across the screen in a blur.
Ray knew Connor was tracking Jules‘ whereabouts and didn’t interrupt, waiting quietly by the side.
Flora peeked over, seeing the almost flawless code on the screen, and smiled. This was her man, breaking through her second–to–last security bamer.
But finding Jules this way would be difficult.
Ten minutes later, Connor stopped, his gaze fixed on a large red exclamation mark on the screen, his expression grim.
“What’s wrong?” Ray was sweating bullets.
“It’s untraceable.”
“How can that be!”
Connor was among the best hackers out there. It didn’t make sense that he couldn’t find it.
“It’s Night Veil.” Connor spoke gravely, “It seems Jules is a part of Club 257”
Every member of Club 257 had their identity concealed. And the one covering their tracks was Night Veil.
Ray’s expression stiffened. If it was Night Veil, then it wasn’t surprising. No one in the country could match Night Veil’s hacking skills.
Unbeknownst to them, Flora had quietly slipped out.
When she returned, she cleared her throat and said, “Connor, don’t lose hope. Give it another try. How could Night Veil be better than you? Maybe this time, you’ll break through.”
Connor was well aware that his hacking skills were no match for Night Veil’s, but they had to save Aisha. He began to reexamine the code on the screen. His slender fingers flew across the keyboard.
No one dared disturb him.
Connor, engrossed in the screen, suddenly spotted a loophole. His expression hardened.
Two minutes later, he successfully breached the last defense. A set of coordinates appeared on the screen.
“Did you find it?!” Ray was overjoyed.
Connor nodded, then called Moss to get the person at those coordinates. As long as they found where Jules was, they could make him come, even if it meant capturing him.
Still, Connor stared at the screen, lost in thought. The first time he tried to decode it, there was no loophole. And then suddenly, there
It’s as if someone intentionally left it for him to find Jules.
“Flora.” Connor suddenly turned to her.
Flora tried to appear calm, “What is it?”

“You’re very skilled in perfumery, rivaling a certain someone” Connor said, with a m
Flora was taken aback. What was Connor implying?
