Brenda narrowed her eyes. “Don’t ask anymore, Nora. I just can’t be with him. Solo found his way here
because you gave him the address, right? Don’t do that again.”
After she said that in a low voice, she raised her head again and went back to her usual calm and lazy
self. “After all, with him around, I won’t be able to go to other handsome guys anymore! Right?” Seeing
how Brenda looked like she didn’t want to say anything, Nora knew that she had probably done
something wrong this time.
Perhaps she shouldn’t have told Solo where Brenda was but she had always felt that a lot of issues
between people were only caused by misunderstandings.
It was just like Tanya and Joel back then. There had been so many misunderstandings between the two
of them. If they didn’t meet or contact each other, how were they ever going to resolve the
misunderstandings between them?
That was why she wanted to let Solo and Brenda meet and talk things out.
But judging from Brenda’s behavior just now, it seemed that she had no intentions of explaining anything
at all?
Nora paused for a moment before she slowly said, “Brenda, I think it’d be best if there aren’t any
misunderstandings between you two. Those corny TV dramas and novels are too exaggerated. We’re all
adults here. Moreover, times are moving so fast these days. If there really is some kind of
misunderstanding, then it would do everyone good to explain everything clearly.”
Brenda lowered her eyes. “There is no misunderstanding between him and I. Nora, I know very well what
I am doing.”
Seeing that she was still unwilling to reveal more, Nora nodded. “Okay, I won’t interfere with you guys.”
“Thanks.”
Brenda and Nora were both straightforward people. After the two talked it out, Brenda said, “I just want to
catch Barbarian now. As for Solo, I’ll leave him to you.”
“Yeah, okay.”
Brenda left after saying that.
Nora remained where she was and looked at her from the back.
Brenda was very professional. After she went into the distance, she picked up the walkie-talkie and
started to contact the people stationed in every direction. They were required to report every ten minutes
to prevent Barbarian from breaking through from any direction.
As for Nora, she went back where she came from and turned the corner to see Solo standing there
blankly.
When Nora first met Solo, he had been seriously injured. His lungs had been punctured and he looked
like he wouldn’t survive. The guy had only survived because Nora had operated on him.
was
Even when he was seriously injured, the man was never serious. After owing her a favor, every time he
had to do something for her, he had always done so very reluctantly.
This was the first time Nora had ever seen him look so lost and dejected.
She walked over and asked, “Are you going back?”
“No.” Solo shook his head. “I don’t believe she would do something like this. I want to stay and find out
why she’s doing this. It wasn’t easy for me to finally fall for a woman after all this time. I can’t just give up
like that!”
Nora kept quiet for a moment but did not dissuade him.
Solo then looked at her again. “So, can you find me a place to stay?”
Nora: “?”
Was he gonna cling to her now?
She replied, “It’s not like you don’t have any money. Go and get a hotel room for yourself.”
“I can’t stay at a hotel.” Solo followed behind her and said pitifully, “Didn’t I tell you? I broke the law.”
Nora’s lip corners spasmed a little. When she recalled how Solo had told her upon his arrival in America
that Interpol was after him in Switzerland. She asked, “What did you do?”
Solo scratched his head. “It’s actually nothing serious. All I did was compete with a white hat and hack
into his computer. After that, those petty guys started to come after me.” A white hat referred to a hacker
who served the government.
Solo had always been flamboyant in his way of doing things, so Nora didn’t find it strange that he would
do something like that. The corners of her lips spasmed a little and she sighed. “Fine.”

Nora took him to a hotel, booked a room for Solo with her fake ID, and paid for a five-day stay.
“Five days later, if you still haven’t gotten everything settled, you’ll have to find someplace to stay by
yourself,” said a heartless Nora.
Solo: “…”
Seeing that Nora was leaving, Solo grabbed her. “What kind of mission is Brenny on here? Isn’t she just
a nobody policewoman? Why did she come to Switzerland?”
“… To arrest a serial killer.”
Solo’s expression changed. “Isn’t that very dangerous?”

Solo had been studying computers all this time, so he was cooped up indoors all year round. Although
he was pretty tall, he was skinny and barely had any flesh on him. Nora glanced at his body disdainfully,
not sure why Brenda had fallen in love with him.
He wouldn’t even last a punch from her or Brenda.
Solo said anxiously, “Then I’m going to protect her tonight!”
Nora curled her lips disdainfully. “You? Forget about it. If you go, she’ll be in even more danger.”
Because she would have to protect him!
Solo: “…”
Solo’s lip corners spasmed and he said nothing
Nora didn’t bother with Solo anymore and left the hotel. He was already nearly thirty years old, surely he
could take care of himself, right?
Nora kept walking around the campus.
To be honest, she could also just charge into the archives and look for File No. 004. However, with
Barbarian nearby, she shouldn’t do that. If she did, then she would be outright telling him that the V16
was in the archives.
She couldn’t beat Barbarian in a fight, so she mustn’t let him take the lead.
She could only outsmart him and use a reasonable excuse to check out File No. 004. It seemed that she
could only approach it using Wayne’s project.
When she thought of this, Nora started walking towards the laboratory building.
As soon as she entered, she heard quarreling coming from ahead.
Originally, she wasn’t intending to pay attention to it, but in the midst of the quarrel, she heard Brenda’s
voice. She turned around and walked over only to find Epson and Brenda arguing.
Brenda was dressed in professional attire and looked very smart. She had one hand on her hip and the
other raised as she checked the time. “You must leave this place by five o’clock at the latest.”
Epson replied angrily, “I’m not going to leave! My experimental project is about to be completed! You
must be doing this because of Anti, right? You don’t want me to finish my experiments quickly, for fear
that it’ll slap her in the face? Heh, Officer Hunt, you are just a police officer! We have all the permissions
to work on our experiments here! You have no right to interfere with my freedom!”
