Chapter 336 Chase’s Good Intentions.
Finished
Seeing what was happening, the young man shoved Chase aside and banged on the door hard, only to be met with a fierce response from Cuatro.
Chase glanced at the two men, noting their grim expressions, and thought, Well, looks like you’ve rubbed someone the wrong way.
The three relatively influential figures were blocked by the closed door.
With things getting urgent and serious, the two men wanted to force their way in.
But once again, Chase blocked them.
Chase kindly advised. “Just wait.”
They endured the bitter wait for two hours. Both of these men were working for the country, and they had never been subjected to such treatment before.
Before the door opened, they were greeted by Joshua and Isabelle.
Thanks to Joshua’s help, the three of them were allowed in.
Isabelle lifted her gaze to the two unfamiliar faces, one middle–aged and one young, both impeccably dressed and exuding confidence.
She was lounging on the couch, sipping coffee like she didn’t have a care in the world. Finally, these two got to see her true colours.
She remained calm despite the magnitude of the situation, not only enjoying a good sleep but also leisurely drinking coffee.
Whether or not she had the ability to shut down the entire internet was anyone’s guess, but with her level of mental toughness, she was already exceptional.
The two men sized up Isabelle.
We need to talk to Isabelle about something important. Can you give us some space? Chase asked Joshua.
But before Joshua could say anything, Isabelle told him to come and join her.
This was her turf.
This move made the two guys frown‘ a bit.
Chase didn’t seem to mind much.
Chase glanced at Joshua, then let/lsabelle know who these two were.
Isabelle responded calmly, ‘Government officials? What do you want with me?”
Seeing Isabelle maintain her composure even after learning their identities, the two men couldn’t help but respect her a bit more..

I’m Vaughn, the middle–aged man said, presenting his credentials. “We’re here to gather information from you and hope for your cooperation.”
Isabelle remained silent and unfazed.
The middle–aged man persisted patiently. “The internet is still down, causing nationwide panic. Are you
aware of this?”
Isabelle replied casually, “Is this related to me?”
The middle–aged man’s expression darkened slightly, and he adopted a more official tone. “This is a serious matter. It’s drawing high attention even from abroad, and it will have a significant negative impact on our country, damaging both the interests of the nation and its people. The country cannot allow you to act recklessly. If it’s your doing, you must immediately restore the network.”
The internet being down had practically shut down offices all over the country.
Isabelle asked. “Got any proof?”
The young man stepped up. “If it’s not you, then it’s your friend, Mr. Harris, right? If that’s the case, you need to inform him immediately to stop and restore the network.”
Isabelle asked. “Do you guys need his phone number?”
Seeing Isabelle’s fearless demeanour, the middle–aged man signalled the young man to hold back, his tone shifting from firm to gentle.
We’ve already gotten a clear picture of this situation. You’re a victim, no doubt, and it’s fair that you want to clear your name. But we can’t allow it to be done this way. As a citizen, you have to follow the rules. Your move already breaks the law.
He then changed his tone, smiling.
But our visit isn’t just about this matter. The country appreciates talent and values it, so we sincerely want to invite you to join our department.
Chase was stunned to find out what the two men were up to.
Join the 509 Supervisory Bureau? That was like the toughest and most secretive department in Cheshian. Everyone in there was a symbol of status and skill. Even though Isabelle was pretty capable, considering her age
But then, thinking about how messed up the national network was right now, Chase couldn’t help but think, If Isabelle doesn’t go into the 509 Supervisory Bureau, then who will?
Even though Isabelle didn’t admit it, Chase believed she had the chops for it, even though he’d never seen her show off that side of her skills. But he remembered that Isabelle majored in computer science.
Isabelle fired back. “You guys don’t even know who’s behind this mess, and yet you’re talking about recruiting talent? Is that how your department operates?
Getting laughed at by a young girl!
Before they could say anything, Isabelle added, “Come back to me with some proof before you start talking, and I’m not interested in your department.”
