Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
Thinking that he was badly frightened, Nora pressed her lips together at the sight. To be honest, this was indeed her fault.
After she sent the mail to Trueman as Q, she’d originally thought that he would text her and demand an explanation. However, the other party had instead gone silent.
After thinking about it for a while, when Louis went out, she suddenly realized that Trueman might have misunderstood something.
She had then immediately contacted Morris. She also went after Louis, but before she could catch up to him, he had been kidnapped.
As a result, she hadn’t been able to talk to him about this in advance.
At the bottom of it all, she was the one who had implicated Louis.
Nora was about to comfort him when Louis asked, “Why couldn’t you have come a little later instead?”
This way, he would have received the 15 million dollars!
Nora: “??”
After Louis said that, he turned to where Trueman had been speaking just now.
When Nora followed his gaze and looked over, she spotted a monitor and a surveillance camera. They had likely been in the midst of a video call just now. The other party’s screen had blacked out by now, so Nora couldn’t see the other party’s appearance. However, the audio was obviously still connected.
Nora hesitated for a moment and slowly said, “Trueman?”
Trueman’s voice was a man’s, and it sounded a little shrill. “Heh! So it really is you! Did you think I would put myself in such a dangerous situation?”
Nora also sneered, “Of course, I didn’t think that I would catch you all at once, either. But getting rid of a few of your subordinates and making you lose four bodyguards also sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?”
Her words angered Trueman. “Shit!”
It was only when she heard his response that she truly became sure that he was indeed Trueman.
But after that, she heard Trueman laugh. “However, you only managed to capture four of my bodyguards despite using Q as bait, whereas I have reached a consensus with Q during this period of time!” Nora: “?”
A little surprised, she subconsciously asked, “What consensus?”
“Heh,” Trueman said, “I have reached an agreement with Q just now. I’m buying him out with 75 million dollars to provide me service. Also, I have paid him a 15 million dollar deposit just now. After that, I will have him hack the Smith Corporation at an appropriate time!”
Nora: “??!”
She was stunned. “What?”
Trueman became even smugger. “Yes, that’s the deal between the two of us! I’ve already transferred a 15 million dollar deposit to his bank account. Q, once you succeed, I will transfer the remaining 60 million dollars to you! I hope you won’t let me down! Haha-“
Nora looked at Louis.
Louis had been freed by then. When he heard what Trueman said, he took out his cell phone at once, upon which he saw the notification from the bank informing him that he had received a fund transfer of 15 million dollars in his bank account.
Even Louis himself was dumbfounded. “He really transferred it to me?”
After speaking, he suddenly realized something. He swallowed and hurriedly looked at Nora. “Nora, I was just joking with him… and stalling for time!”
His words made Trueman laugh even harder. “Not bad, Q! By answering them that way, you should be able to win the Smith Corporation’s trust and recognition!”
Then, he looked at Nora and said, “It is true that he was just stalling for time, but can you guarantee that he hasn’t become partial towards me? Hahaha- He has already told me all about his hardships just now!”
A puzzled Nora repeated, “His hardships?”
“That’s right!” Trueman said, “The Smith Corporation has groomed such an excellent hacker, but Q has never accepted any external gigs all these years, so he doesn’t have any income! On top of that, the Smith Corporation only gives him a monthly salary of $15,000! To think you people are oppressing and letting a top-class hacker like him go to such waste! I’m sure Q must already be full of resentment towards you!” Nora looked at Louis. “Resentment?”
Louis hurriedly waved. “No, I promise I don’t harbor any resentment towards Joel at all!”
Trueman, however, laughed. “Uh-huh, no resentment at all! But Nora, would the Smith Corporation still dare to use Q, who has already taken a 15-million-dollar deposit from me? Can you really rest assured knowing that? And Q, what about you? Are you willing to live knowing that other people will forever be suspicious of you?”
His way of driving a wedge between the two of them…
Had Louis really been Q, Trueman would really have succeeded.
But unfortunately…
Nora suddenly smiled. “Who told you that Louis is Q?”
Trueman was stunned to hear that. “What do you mean?”
Nora looked at the camera and slowly curled her lips into a smile. “It means that…”
“Thank you for the 15 million dollars! I’ll just take it as compensation for our little Louis!”
As soon as Nora said that, on the other end of the call, Trueman seemed to realize something. He immediately exclaimed, “Is he really not Q?”
Nora did not answer him.
Nevertheless, it seemed like Trueman had understood. He immediately cursed in a low voice, “Shit! You—”.
But before he could finish, the call was cut off!
Nora frowned.
Wasn’t Trueman the little master? Who would dare to disconnect his call when he was still speaking?
In the midst of her hesitation, Louis stood and looked at Nora cautiously. Then, he blinked and asked, “Um, Nora, those 15 million dollars… are you really giving it to me as compensation to help me get over the shock?”
This was the biggest amount of money that Louis, whose monthly living expenses had been withheld from him by Joel ever since he was a child, had ever seen in his life. He had seen a million dollars at Chester’s house before, but this was the first time he was seeing funds that amounted to more than ten million dollars!
He had counted on his cell phone just nowthere were several zeros between the sum and his savings!
Little Louis would like to express just how dumbfounded he was at suddenly becoming a millionaire like that!
Upon hearing what he said, Nora was puzzled. “You don’t want it?”
“No! No! I want it very much!” Louis immediately stuffed the bank card into his pocket and covered his pocket with both hands. The way he looked was as if he would fight to the death anyone who dared to take the bank card from him!
The corners of Nora’s lips spasmed. She simply couldn’t bear to watch him anymore.
Brenda couldn’t help but whisper to Nora, “Nora, are the Smiths about to go bankrupt?”
Look at how desperate they had forced little Louis to be!
It was just 15 million dollars, yet he was close to regarding it as his family heirloom.
Nora: “…”
She suddenly found Louis a little embarrassing.
Nevertheless, she looked at Morris.
Louis had received 15 million dollars from the battle between the special department and the mysterious organization. Although he had tricked the other party into giving it to him through his own abilities, should Morris request that he submit it, Louis would have to do so.
In the end, Morris behaved as if he hadn’t heard them at all. He turned to the bodyguards on the floor and said, “Tell me, where is your master?”
Alright, it seemed that he wasn’t going to bother doing anything about it
In that case, Nora didn’t pursue the matter about Louis any further. Instead, she turned and left.
Even after the four bodyguards were arrested, the other party hadn’t become anxious. This showed that Trueman was very sure that the four of them would not betray him.
In that case, there was probably not much use even if they interrogated them.
She decided to take Louis out of the room.
On the way out, she asked Louis, “What did Trueman say to you?” Louis’s eyes were constantly fixed on his pocket. His fingers were also still pressed against it. He was behaving even more neurotically than when he had been kidnapped. “Nora, do you think anyone will steal my money?”
