Nora didn’t hang up but asked, “Who is she?” Ian kept quiet for a while. “I can’t say it over the phone.”

This was because he feared that someone could be monitoring their cell phones. Even if Nora was Q, the top hacker in the world, there was no guarantee that no one would be monitoring them. Moreover, even if Nora could guarantee that her cell phone wouldn’t be hacked, could they guarantee the same for Ian?

Not only was she in another country, but the phone call was also an international long-distance one. Could she guarantee that the international communications signal would not be hacked?

Nora could only nod and say, “Alright, I’ll pick you up in eight hours.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Nora sank into contemplation for a long while.

At this point, Queenie came down the stairs drunkenly and asked, “How are things with Barbarian?”

Brenda had wholly taken over the task of arresting Barbarian. The Queen was still unable to accept the fact that he was a murderer, so she had chosen to remain silent on the matter.

Nora sighed. “Barbarian indeed lives up to his name of being the embodiment of the human limits. Despite the intensive attempts to catch him, he still managed to escape… He’s nowhere to be found now.”

Queenie nodded. Suddenly, she asked, “Was that Ian Smith calling just now?”

Nora nodded, surprised by her perceptivity. In order to avoid people eavesdropping on her phone calls, her cell phone’s volume was set very low. Even so, she’d still heard them?

Seemingly noticing her puzzled look, Queenie smiled and said, “You called him ‘Dad’.”
