New Life : A Second Chance

Chapter 612 - Donnie Yang

Stephan trembled and pushed Donnie aside, running to his car that was parked outside.

Despite the fact that Kyle wanted to follow his spouse back right now, he knew he could not. What was more important, was to place the bugs that he needed and track this Donnie person.

Right now, Kyle was extremely relieved to know that his spouse was not involved in this at all, though now, it looks like he is going to be.

Time for a change of plans again.

He would need to work with his spouse now, to dig out the mastermind in all of this. Perhaps, this is a good thing for it would mean that he could still be involved in their lives.

It would be so weird for him to do so and he hoped that he would be able to act properly. He doubted his spouse would ever be able to accept a guy being all touchy-feely or friendly with him.

The image of himself, first being slashed and then being beaten to death, was imprinted in his mind.

He waited until Donnie and his goons entered the building.

Slipping silently to the vehicle, Kyle attached a tracker right at the undercarriage. As for Donnie … well, that is going to wait for another day.

Now that Kylie had died, Kyle was finally free to start digging more aggressively. He already had all the bugs in position, courtesy of his job as security officer here those years ago.

It had slowly been accumulating data and using the AI that Kay had developed, it basically only released information that was deemed to be important.

Useless information was discarded and the AI was continuously self-learning, based on the feedback the agents gave it as to what they were looking for, what was useless and what appeared to be of interest.

It turned out that the activity only got extremely active the day that Kylie had downloaded the sensitive information.

Kyle shook his head when he thought of that.

Little did he know the sort of bomb he had exploded by that simple act. He had even caused Donnie to come all the way from God-knows-where to deal with him.

Kyle gritted his teeth.

Donnie was not a simple goon, however.

Kyle could see that from the way he had slowly tortured Kylie. He had first used a sword to slash continuously at her, making cuts that were not too deep but enough to cause intense pain and blood loss.

When he had gone through his memories of his death, these little things had not been caught by him then. She had, after all, been more focused on the pain and had closed her eyes during the entire duration.

She had not even realised that the cuts were not deep. She had thought they were.

But Kyle knew better.

This information may be the key to the breakthrough in figuring out who the mastermind is.

It was obvious that Donnie was a ninja.

But what ninja carried the surname Yang?

None.

So, either Donnie Yang is not his real name, or he was recruited from young. The skills he showed was not something one could get from marrying into the ninja family.

Kyle was betting that it was the former. The real Donnie Yang was probably dead.

Whatever it was, Kyle had very, very special plans for this particular 'Donnie Yang'. He would need to find out for sure what was Donnie's connection to the ninja family, and whom he served.

After making sure that everything was in place, Kyle headed to the location where he had hidden the thumbdrive.

Unfortunately, it was at home.

As Kylie, she did not have much imagination so the best place that she would hide it at would be in the areas that she was most familiar with.

This was both good and bad, for there were people who had been tailing her for the thumbdrive.

If she had gone to an unfamiliar place and left it there, it would have been easy for them to break into the place and retrieve it. Thus, it was good in that sense.

As it was, Kylie never deviated from her normal routine.

Thus, they knew that the thumbdrive must be in a place that she always frequented.

That was why they had attacked her at home.

Kyle guessed that her workplace had already been thoroughly checked before they came here, which was why this was the last possible location.

That was the bad part.

By hiding it in such a familiar place, it opened up her family to danger. Kylie just never thought they had known what she had done and was observing her. Otherwise, she would never have hidden it at home.

Until now, Kyle was extremely grateful that his kids were not around when they attacked. They had gone to a friend's birthday party. He shuddered to think what Donnie would have done to his kids to make Kylie talk.

The closer he got to home, the more he had to work at being calm.

He noted the time.

He was supposed to have picked up his kids at this time, and Kylie was never late. She was either early, or on time. Never late.

He imagined them trying to call her, but never getting through.

Then, they would call their father.

Kyle's grip on the motorcycle handle became tighter and the bike flew even faster back home. He steeled his heart to face what was 'waiting' for him at home.

Stephan could not believe it.

His house really was on fire … no, had been on fire.

The firefighters had successfully managed to put the fire out, and all he had in front of him, was a blackened husk of a house. By the time the firefighters arrived, the house was already ablaze like a huge bonfire.

"My wife! Where is my wife!" he shouted desperately.
