Chapter 663
“Not yet,” Benedict shook his head.
J wasn’t just any hacker; he didn’t take jobs lightly. And recovering camera footage was, frankly, a bit beneath his skill level.
Tammie prompted, “Did you mention the payment p>
Benedict nodded. “Good point. I’ll add it.” He picked up his phone and typed: [We’re willing to pay $10,000,000 for your services, whether you succeed or not p>
Two hours passed with no response.
Benedict thought for a moment and sent one more message: [A person’s life is on the line. Please respond p>
Lindy was already dead because of this. If they couldn’t find the truth, the false accusation would follow her forever. For Benedict, this was no longer just about a corporate crisis. If he didn’t see this through, his conscience would plague him for the rest of his life. Even though he wasn’t the one who had accused her, he was one of CL’s founders. He had a responsibility.
Less than two minutes after he sent the last message, a reply came through: [Send the camera app account and password p>
Benedict’s face lit up. He immediately sent the login details.
Another message appeared: [Has the power supply to the camera been consistent p>
[Yes, completely normal,] Benedict replied.
[Understood p>
Benedict quickly typed back: [How long will it take to recover the footage p>
[Fastest, about three days. Slowest, a week p>
Recovering footage sounded simple, but it involved sorting through a massive amount of fragmented data and piecing it back together perfectly to restore the video
[Okay, I’ll wait for your update. Thank you p>
As long as the footage could be recovered, time wasn’t an issue. He could
let The Banks Group enjoy
their short lived victory for
more days.
After ending the chat, Benedict turned to Tammie. “J said it could take up to a week p>
“Really?” Tammie was thrilled.
“Yeah,” Benedict nodded.
Tammie beamed. “That’s great news! Ann will finally be exonerated in your eyes.” He then added, “By the way when Ann gets back you can’t say a word about suspecting her. She’s already lost her mother and been through so much. She’s a sensitive girl, and I don’t want this to push her over the edge p>
Tammie might not have been a perfect person, but he was certainly a devoted cousin.
“Tammie,” Benedict said, looking him in the eye, “I hope Ann doesn’t make you regret this p>
“Don’t worry,” Tammie said with a confident smile. “I know my family.” Even if the whole world turned against him, Ann never would.
Just as he finished speaking, they heard Ann’s voice from downstairs.
“Tammie p>
“Ann, I’m upstairs!” Tammie called back.
Her voice floated up again. “Tammie, hurry down! I bought your favorite Fish Ball Noodle Soup p>
