Before he could finish, Aaron asked, “Do you remember someone named Marcus?”
Solo paused for a while before he suddenly realized who he was talking about. “Yeah, I remember him. Isn’t he a hacker? He even provoked me and said that he was a better hacker than me…”
After saying that, Solo asked, “But what does it have to do with him?”
Aaron lowered his eyes. “He was my and Captain Brenda’s partner!”
Solo was taken aback.
Aaron continued to speak. “Marcus, Captain Brenda, and I—the three of us were close friends and we always worked together whenever we handled cases. Marcus was in love with Captain Brenda, so he always worked hard to coordinate with her during operations. Marcus was very capable. The higher-ups once talked to him about having him lead a team but Marcus never agreed. Instead, he willingly worked under Captain Brenda-not because he admired her abilities, but because he wanted to protect her!”
Aaron clenched his fists, his whole body shaking. There was hatred and resentment in his eyes as he stared at Solo.
His appearance caused a foreboding feeling to suddenly arise in Solo. “W-where is he?”
Aaron lowered his eyes. “He’s dead!”
Solo’s heart sank. “B-but I wasn’t the one who caused his death. What does it have to do with me? I—”
Before he could finish, Aaron suddenly looked at him. “He was not convinced of your hacking skills, so he once publicly clamored that he wanted to pit his skills against yours, right?”
Solo nodded. “Yes, but I ignored him.”
Aaron sneered and lowered his head.
He suddenly asked, “Three months ago, did you take a commission to hack into someone’s cell phone?”
Solo nodded. “Yeah, how did you know?”
Solo had always been taking private commissions from others but he had never done anything terrible like murder. Additionally, the people commissioning him were required to inform him of what they intended to do post-commission.
He didn’t allow them to make use of him to do bad things.
When he thought of that, he suddenly looked at Aaron. “That phone… Was Marcus’?”.
Aaron lowered his eyes. “No, it was Captain Brenda’s.”
His reply made Solo’s eyes widen abruptly. He suddenly thought back to three months ago when someone had sent him an email, saying that his girlfriend had betrayed him. She had cheated on him with many people at the same time and was a scumbag. Therefore, he’d offered Solo $3,000 to pinpoint the girl’s GPS location.
ame $3,000 was just peanuts to him, but he hated such women the most, so he’d accepted the simple commission.
He checked the cell phone number given by the other party, whereupon he found that the girl was indeed an unfaithful woman and a player–because the cell phone’s GPS location was often in places like nightclubs.
After Solo sent the GPS coordinates to his client, his client had replied, “She’s too much! How dare she be a town bike! She cuckolded me for so many years but I didn’t even realize! Man, I’m pissed!”
With the mentality of someone watching a show, Solo had replied, “Just break up. She’s not worth it.”
But his client then sent a message begging him for help. “Can you help me hack into my girlfriend’s cell phone for ten minutes? I want to lock her in the toilet and scare her a little as punishment.”
For Solo, a small request like that was not even worth mentioning.
He agreed immediately. In fact, he’d even felt that he was punishing evil and promoting good.
But he didn’t understand how could she have been Brenda?
While he was in a daze, Aaron sneered and spoke again. “That day, after much difficulty, Captain Brenda, Marcus, and I finally managed to get hold of Barbarian’s whereabouts. In order not to alert the enemy, Captain Brenda went in to scout the place first. We agreed that she would give us a signal in five minutes but we suddenly lost contact with her! Marcus was worried about Captain Brenda, so he rushed in at once… He thought that the signal source he had set up was inadequate, causing Captain Brenda to be unable to send us the signal… But we had never thought that the reason why she hadn’t come out was just because of a hacker’s little prank!! Marcus, in order to save Captain Brenda, was brutally killed by Barbarian.”
At this point, Aaron suddenly raised his fist and slammed it in Solo’s face!
Nora didn’t do anything. Instead, she watched the two fixedly.
Solo didn’t duck either. It seemed like he had never imagined that things could have turned out like that…
He’d only hacked into someone’s phone for ten minutes and prevented them from using it. How did it involve someone’s death?
On top of that, out of everyone it could have been, that person was Brenda!
He even remembered that he had had a few conversations with the owner of the cell phone back then.
Using an unknown number, he had sent the other party text messages and scolded her, saying that she should repent and that her boyfriend was still waiting for her.
The girl had replied: ‘Are you nuts?’
At that time, he’d harassed the girl by sending her a ton of text messages because he wanted her to change her mind and return to her boyfriend.
In fact…
After hacking her cell phone for ten minutes, when he returned control of the phone to the girl, he had even left a message on the screen: ‘Hahaha! You must have been scared silly, right? You deserved it!’
Solo staggered a couple of steps backward.
He thought of how those big mocking words would have suddenly appeared on the phone as Brenda came out dragging the body of her comrade who had died tragically. When he thought of how he was the one who had sent that message to her…
Solo suddenly clutched his chest.
No wonder… no wonder Brenda had said that there was no misunderstanding between them.
Yeah, there certainly wasn’t any misunderstanding.
There was only hatred and a feud between them!
That was why Interpol, who had always ignored him, had started to come after him when the charges were not even serious. Even if he was caught, he would only serve two or three months in prison.
Solo’s nose was broken, warm liquid slowly trickled down.
He suddenly didn’t know what to do anymore.
Aaron pointed to the outside. “Leave! We investigated after the incident and found out that it was just a hacker’s prank and that you indeed don’t have anything to do with Barbarian…
“Yes, you are innocent and you were deceived, but no matter how many excuses I make up for you, it can’t erase the fact that you caused Marcus’ death! So, you get it now, right? Captain Brenda will never forgive youbecause the moment she sees you, she thinks of the text message, those short ten minutes, and Marcus’ tragic death! Get lost! I’m not interested in detaining you. Stay away from us in the future!”
Aaron really wanted to beat up Solo and kill him, but of all people, Captain Brenda had fallen in love with him.
Marcus’ only wish when he had been alive was for Captain Brenda to find someone she loved… Now that she had, Aaron couldn’t really kill Solo to avenge him.
Solo, however, remained where he was. He murmured to himself, “W-what can I do to make up for it?”
“Make up for it?” Aaron sneered, “Only if you can bring Marcus back to life!”
How could the dead possibly come back to life, though?
Solo remained where he was, stunned to the spot.
He didn’t know how he should explain himself, let alone what he should do… All of this was thanks to his stupidity and self-righteousness!
Regardless, he couldn’t reconcile himself with it. He still wanted to grasp something, so he asked, “What can I do now?”
Aaron lowered his eyes. “The only thing you can do now is to leave Captain Brenda. When Marcus died, she was out of it for whole 6 months. It’s also for the sake of taking revenge for Marcus that we are so focused on arresting Barbarian now, but your existence will only keep reminding Captain Brenda how tragic Marcus’ death was! You being with her will only bring her pain!”
After saying that, Aaron looked down and checked the time. Then, he walked past him and said, “I won’t arrest you—because you don’t deserve to go to prison for reformation.”
With that, Aaron left, leaving behind only Nora and Solo.
Nora looked at Solo. For a while there, she didn’t quite know how she should comfort him.
She suddenly understood Brenda’s feelings very well. From her perspective, Solo might not be the murderer-in fact, he had even been deceived—but how could Brenda possibly bring herself to face him with peace of mind?
During the past few months, Brenda probably didn’t just hate Barbarian, but also the person who had hacked her cell phone, right?
If Solo hadn’t hacked her phone at that time, they wouldn’t have lost contact and Marcus wouldn’t have rushed in to save her…
