Jensen smiled and said, "Dr. Clarke, I've already told you, I am just here to ask you about Jodie. You are the one beating around the bush, not me."
Aaron was a little shocked. He looked sharply at Jensen. "I have told you everything. Who are you to come here and question me? I don' t think I owe you an explanation about me and her, right?"
"You’ re right, you don't owe me an explanation." Jensen's anger was beginning to rise, but he kept his smile on his face. "Technically, it's true that you don’t have any obligations to talk about you two."
"So you'd better go back." Aaron took the opportunity to ask him to leave.
"But you told my girlfriend so much." Jensen paused, having no intention to leave. "And you voluntarily provide that information."
Aaron frowned as he retorted, "So what? I have such freedom to do so, don't I?"
"There’s no need to be so sensitive. I just wanted to say that typically, people do things with a motive. You have your reasons."
"Then you came to me with an underlying motive too?" Aaron asked in reply.
He stared at the USB flash drive in Jensen's hand.
"Yes." Jensen nodded and shook the flash disk in his hand. "You recognise this."
Aaron nodded. "I know that this belongs to Jodie. I have seen her with it."
"Where?"
"In Alsburg."
"Do you want to see the contents of it?" Jensen asked him with the USB flash drive in his hand.
Aaron chuckled and replied, "No, curiosity kills the cat. I'm not curious."
"There are two reasons one may not be curious. Firstly, you know that it will bring you trouble, so you'd rather not know anything at all in order to avoid it."
"Second, you already know what's on the USB flash drive, so you don't need to watch it anymore." Jensen looked at Aaron and smiled gently. "Dr. Clarke, which one are you?"
"I don't belong to either of them," Aaron replied coldly. "Ever since she suddenly be alive, Jodie and I no longer have anything to do with each other. I have moved on. Therefore, I don't want to know the contents of the USB flash drive." "Well, since you don't want to see it, then don't." Jensen chuckled; he did not take it to heart.
With a smile in his eyes, Aaron said, "If there's nothing else, you can leave."
"Yes, I was just about to." Jensen stood up and looked around again. He saw that the door of the study was open and the computer was on. He must have been looking at something.
Jensen slightly smiled, nodded and stepped away.
After the door was closed.
Aaron's eyes darkened as he headed to the study.
After Jensen came out, he entered the elevator.
Soon, he saw Alex downstairs.
Jensen immediately instructed, "Cut off the electricity at Aaron's house."
"Cut off the electricity?" Alex was stunned.
Jensen nodded and continued, "Find a way to steal the computer from his room."
"Steal?" Alex repeated in astonishment.
"Hurry up! I'll leave this task to you."
"Yes!" Alex quickly arranged for someone to tamper with Aaron's electricity.
In the study.
Aaron had just sat down and typed a few words, but then a blackout happened. His laptop happened to have no backup battery, so the power got cut off immediately.
He frowned slightly and waited for a while, but the electricity did not come back on.
Aaron got up and left.
He came out to check the meter box, but the switch hadn’t flipped, so it should not be a problem on his end.
