The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 116

"Tell me what you know," Nicole said.

Avery came to the hospital early in the morning to inform Nicole about what she had found out, but she did not expect that she had not yet recovered.

Nicole was excited. Except for Jay's matter, this was her biggest concern.

"The Ning Group had cooperated with the Gu Group before, but rumor has it that the Gu Group withdrew capital at the last signature.

No agreement has been reached, but your father had put a lot of effort on it. With the withdrawal of the Gu Group, all the previous preparations of the Ning Group ended up in vain.

It's just a rumor, which we have no way of confirming. Now that you and Kerr are together, maybe you could ask him. Maybe he knows the whole story."

As soon as her suggestion came out, Avery regretted it. Nicole and Kerr had just fallen in love.

If the Gu Group really bankrupted the Ning Group and Kerr knew about it, Nicole would be caught in a dilemma.

"Nicole... Maybe it's all just a rumor."

Nicole's heart sank. She fell silent for a long time.

"After I leave here, I will check it out myself. Don't tell anyone about this. Thank you, Avery."

Rumors were not enough for Nicole to resent Kerr. Until she found out the truth, she would give him the benefit of the doubt.

She wanted evidence.

"Don't mention it."

Avery smiled at Nicole.

Outside the ward, Ken was talking to Kerr.

"You see, all the reports that the media was going to release were wiped out. Apparently, somebody hacked their website and blocked the for-release content. It happened last night."

Ken handed Kerr his laptop. He still could not get over what just happened.

He had planned to block the stories from being released, but someone beat him to it.

"It wasn't you? Whoever did this was good," Harley commented.

He may not be as good with computers as Ken, but he was skilled enough to tell that whoever hacked the entertainment website did a professional-grade job.

"Mr. Gu, you have a new email, but it's password protected."

Jared handed the computer to Kerr, his eyes fixed on the screen.

"I'll crack it," Ken said.

It had been a long time since Ken met such a formidable computer wizard. He figured he would spar with him.

A minute later, Ken deciphered the password and opened the email. There was only one sentence on it.

"This is your reward."

Kerr, Ken, Harley, and Jared stared at the message.

"Who could've done this? Did you get another expert?" Ken asked Kerr.

He did not know that Kerr hid such gifted technical support in his payroll, someone who had just helped him delete almost an entire entertainment website.

"I don't know, and no, I didn't get another expert."

Kerr thought of the person who once messed with the Gu Group's protective system and inexplicably felt that the same person did this.

Although Kerr did not know who that person was, his intuition told him that he or she was more of a friend than an enemy.

"Let me check the IP address."

Ken searched but came up empty.

"This guy's too smart to leave his IP address lying around for you to find, Ken," Harley laughed.
