Roy Lewis had been on a business trip for six days already.
He had only video called Richelle Dunn and her children in real-time on the day Maggie Mitchell came home. After that, they communicated through delayed video messages every day.
As Richelle herself was occasionally required to go off the radar for work, she understood that video communication, even with a delay, was a luxury.
Undoubtedly, it must have taken quite some connections for Roy to send the videos back.
However, after watching the video from the sixth day, Richelle couldn’t help but feel a growing unease in her heart.
Roy had said before departing that he would be back in a week if everything went smoothly.
If things didn’t go well, his return date would be uncertain.
But there was no mention of his return date in the video from the sixth day.
Obviously, it seemed that there had been some complications with his mission. Though Richelle couldn’t be sure of the specifics of Roy’s mission, she surmised it likely had a high danger level based on the intelligence they had provided to their client.
She wiped some cold sweat in secret and had a restless sleep on the night of the sixth day.
As it turned out, her premonition seemed to become a reality.
On the seventh day, Nathan Caroule hadn’t sent any video messages from Roy by that night.
Unable to contain her anxiety, Richelle took the initiative to ask Nathan about the situation.
Nathan hesitated, saying there was a poor signal on Roy’s end.
Richelle felt even more uneasy.
After the children had gone to sleep, she hacked into the local classified information archives to check if there were any top-secret incidents happening.
Apart from the usual crisis issues, there were no other significant events recorded.
Richelle let out a silent sigh of relief.
However, she then remembered that Roy and his team might not necessarily be working alongside the local government for this mission.
It was possible that it was a joint operation involving several neighboring countries.
As a result, she hacked into the classified archives of the nearby countries. Soon, she discovered that a week ago, a joint operation coded A099 had been launched in several neighboring countries.
Based on the intelligence she provided to their client, Richelle had a reasonable suspicion that Roy was the chief commander of this A099 operation.
Apparently, the operation was at a temporary standoff, but there should be no significant issues with the individual’s safety.
Richelle exhaled a sigh of relief in secret.
Furthermore, she remembered the intelligence their client had previously requested. She combined it with the new information obtained by hacking into various archives and sorted it out, creating a new set of intelligence material. After sending it to their client, she left a message for him.
“Let this intelligence be a small gift in appreciation for the generosity that the client has shown throughout our cooperation.”
After sending the message, Richelle waited for half an hour. When there was no reply, she shut down her computer and went to bed.
The situation on Roy’s end was indeed as Richelle had predicted – stuck in a deadlock.
Initially, the operation had been progressing smoothly, but on the fifth day, it was time to wrap it up.
The plan was to gather the troops from neighboring countries and converge them in the central region, then jointly encircle and annihilate the forces of the Thompsons lurking around the borders.
However, on the fifth day, one group of the Thompsons’ forces suddenly pulled off a miraculous counter-attack, breaking through the blockade of one neighboring country and launching a successful sneak attack on another. They then joined forces with the central groups and broke through the defense line of another country.
As a result, Roy lost the assistance of two countries, and the encirclement circle now had two gaps.
Obviously, the original plan needed to be adjusted accordingly for the operation to continue effectively.
Due to the time difference, the time at Roy’s current location was several hours ahead of Kindur. When it was midnight in Kindur, it was already morning there. Roy received Margareth’s “small gift” of intelligence nearly at noon because of the intermittent internet connection. When he opened it, all the information was related to his current Ao 9 9 operation.
Upon reviewing the intelligence, which included some new and specific information as well as seemingly fragmented, useless pieces, Roy quickly pieced together the complete version as someone currently involved in the mission.
Roy gazed at the intelligence, which was tailored for this operation and couldn’t help but think:
He was exposed!
It seemed that Margareth, who was on the other end of the computer, knew that he, Roy Lewis, was the client.
Sure enough, it was the woman he loved!
Despite the precarious situation, Roy couldn’t help but smile warmly as he looked at the screen.
“Thankyou for resolving the imminent crisis! Also, the client is fine!”
After sending the message, Roy quickly logged off.
Benefiting from the newly received intelligence, he swiftly convened the various personnel in charge and began a new round of planning.
Due to the worry for Roy’s safety, Richelle got up early in the morning, turned on her computer, and logged into the system even before brushing her teeth. Upon seeing the additional sentence from the client’s reply, Richelle couldn’t help but smile.
Obviously, the client knew that he was exposed.
The additional sentence at the end was Roy’s way of letting Richelle know he was safe.
It wasn’t the client informing the contracting party that he was fine.
