Chapter 389 Timer

She looked at the rapidly changing codes on the laptop screen as she tried to analyze everything. Someone had deliberately triggered the virus, which was installed in the power system beforehand. For anyone, that would be a common thing. However, when Jiang Yue checked the malware, it actually had a timer.

That only meant that it was supposed to attack the system at a certain time. However, someone had triggered it ahead of time.

But why?

Jiang Yue examined the codes and frowned once more. Why would someone trigger it ahead of time? This plan was supposed to be something that Li Qiang had carefully planned for a long time. They were not supposed to change it just like that.

On her previous analysis, Jiang Yue was able to predict that the blackout was supposed to happen a few minutes after the traffic issue. To be exact, it should have been around thirty minutes or so. So why did they trigger it ten minutes before the right time?

Did something happen?

Her senses immediately become alert as she roamed her eyes around the bunker. There was only one possible way for Li Qiang to change his plans so swiftly.

And that was...

He was watching her.

Her eyes immediately stopped on the Prime Minister and Carlisle. Do they have some sort of device that was helping Li Qiang to see everything that was happening here? She examined the two, who were sitting across Gideon.

Carlisle was looking angry, while the Prime Minister looked as if someone from his family had died. She then looked at everyone in the room. She examined the guards one by one.

There was nothing suspicious. Everyone was just observing Gideon, their expressions solemn.

For a while, Jiang Yue examined everyone's clothes with her eyes. If Li Qiang was watching them, then… He should have used something that was really easy to see, right?

After a few minutes, Jiang Yue gave up.

No matter how good her vision was, she couldn't see everything just with her eyes. With that in mind, she turned her attention towards her laptop and started checking everyone's background in this room.

Though the Prime Minister and Carlisle were the most suspicious ones in the room, Jiang Yue still wanted to be thorough. After all, she had already learned her lesson once.

None...

Jiang Yue was surprised to see that there was no information in the security system of the palace about the group of people that were guarding them. Then, she remembered that these men should be a part of some special unit. Their files were supposed to be classified and could not be easily accessed.

Jiang Yue immediately tried to access the confidential files that were only accessible to the King and other Ministers. Then, she began looking through the files of everyone, who was in the room with her.

She scanned through the mountains of information in front of her. Jiang Yue then took a deep breath as she tried to compose herself. She then sent an email to Fu Jin before she locked her laptop and walked towards Gideon who was still laying on a bed.

"How is he?" She asked the doctor.

"He should be fine. He is getting weaker and weaker. I'm afraid…"

"Make sure he survives. The crisis outside will be solved in less than five minutes. He needs to wake up and take care of the aftermath." She said before looking at the head guard. "May I know how many men do you have?"

The head guard instantly frowned before he answered. "My team has thirty men. Twenty-five of them is on standby outside."

"Prepare them, the terrorists might attack the palace after their failed cyber attack. Also, use this to call the other captains. This should be safe for everyone to use." She said as she tossed an encrypted phone towards the head guard.

The head guard caught the phone and immediately called some of his subordinates, as Jiang Yue watched the reaction of other guards. Then, she turned towards Carlisle and gave him a dashing smile.

"You've lost." She said before she walked towards the nearest guard next to her. Her fluid movements surprised everyone, as she grabbed the guard's arm and flipping him straight over her back.

In just one swift movement, Jiang Yue was able to throw away one guard. Surprising everyone inside the room.

"Miss Jiang, what…"

"Oh please, Li Qiang... Let's stop pretending." She gave a chilly smile before pointing the gun that she had removed from the guard's hip, at the head guard.

"Stay away from the King!"
