When Nancy and Joan arrived there, the entrance was not as crowded as the video clip just now, but there were still a few journalists left. Some of them were pestering the security guards while the rest were hanging around, waiting for the people from Norton Corporation to come out.
As they were about to step inside, one of the journalists recognized Joan as Larry’s wife and yelled about her presence. In an instant, all the others whipped their heads around and looked at her like a pack of hungry wolves before rushing towards her and seizing the opportunity to take all the photos they could.
Joan immediately realized the incoming trouble. She shielded her face with her arms and picked up her pace, trying her best to pass through the journalists. But whenever she took a step forward, they would block her way and refused to budge.
Unlike Joan, Nancy could no longer stand the reporters’ questions. I’m not scared of them. I’ve got a black belt in Taekwondo. She then raised her phone in the air and put on a stern face to scare them off. “Get out of our way! I’ll call the police and let you guys be arrested for being a public nuisance.”
As expected, as soon as they heard the word “police,” most of them quickly lowered their microphones and cameras. Meanwhile, when the others saw their fellow journalists had chickened out, they also gave up on interviewing the two ladies. Indeed, instead of risking their careers to get some shocking news, it was better to let the ladies through. Therefore, they glanced at each other before allowing a path for them.
Nancy let out a snort deliberately and walked into the building with Joan, leaving the annoying reporters behind.
Before they even reached the office’s door, they could hear Caspian laughing and cheering inside the room, like a kid who was given candy.
“I bet you’re happy because you know you’ve gone viral on the internet, aren’t you?” Nancy went forward and knocked Caspian on the head.
Baffled, Caspian had two questions in his mind. Why is Nancy here? And how have I gone viral? He had absolutely no clue.
Seeing right through his mind, Nancy chucked her phone to him and said, “Look at this.”
Caspian caught it fluidly and watched the video with Larry, who had leaned closer to the phone out of curiosity. After they finished viewing it, they stared at each other, dumbfounded.
Caspian’s expression immediately turned livid as if he wanted to burn the phone in front of him with the fire in his widened eyes. “Who the hell filmed this? And what on earth are these nonsense comments? Do they have a death wish? I’m more than happy to end their lives!”
Judging by Larry’s expression, he was obviously displeased with the video. However, Caspian’s reaction was so amusing that he wanted to laugh out loud. With a stern expression, he said, “How could they spew nonsense? They can be sued for libel.”
Caspian continued to grumble, “Was I wrong to defend Larry? These people are a bunch of shameless bastards who have nothing better to do in their lives!”
At that point, Larry suddenly remembered what he and Caspian had discovered just now. Turning his laptop to Joan, he said, “Hey, take a look at what Caspian and I have found regarding the IP address of S.”
Hearing his words, Joan retracted her gaze from Caspian and bent down to look at the laptop screen. “I thought you guys previously said that S sent each of the images using many different IP addresses. What have you guys found this time?”
Nancy was also curious about their findings and waited patiently for Larry’s explanation. “Do you remember the warning S sent a long time ago? I was thinking if the warning was actually a foreshadowing of Alpire Group’s intention to buy our company and if S and their company were related to each other. So, I checked the IP address of their company, and Caspian then accidentally found that out of the many IP addresses that S used, one of them was exactly the same as the IP address of Alpire Group,” Larry spoke solemnly.
