Codename:phoenix - Chapter 189 215
After numerous unsuccessful attempts of hacking his target website, Hanzo finally made a break through. Actually, he forced himself to exhaust all his hacking and penetration tools to get past the walls and lines of defense of the website. He was on the process of downloading the files from the database when the door burst opened again and Gianna stepped inside unannounced.
“Not yet done messing up your task?” Gianna rolled her eyes in mock and she chuckled.
“Sorry to burst your bubble but I already reached my objective.” Hanzo said before he took a bite of the last slice of pizza he ordered.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
Infuriated, Gianna’s glare went from the box of pizza on the floor and the scattered cigarette butts on the table to the eating Hanzo.
“OUT!” Gianna yelled at the top of her lungs as she snatched the pizza from Hanzo’s hand. She was about to throw the pizza on the floor but Hanzo was quick enough to snatch the food back.
“Easy! That was my last piece of pizza. There is still another box in the kitchen though!”
“Tsk! Did you think you can bribe me with food? I am not that cheap!” Hissed Gianna as her glare at Hanzo became fiercer. However seconds later, her stomach protested against her words– it let out a loud rumbling sound.
“Hahaha! Still want to act tough, Gianna?” Hanzo laughed as he rose in his feet and walked towards the kitchen leaving an embarrassed Gianna behind.
“You should eat first so you’ll have energy to kick me out of your place later.” Hanzo was already back from the kitchen carrying a box of pizza in his left hand and a platter of cacio e pepe in his right.
“I figured that you will take time to cook a decent meal and I know that you hate wasting time.” Hanzo said as he carefully placed the food on the table in the living area. He then begun cleaning by picking up the remains of the cigarettes and emptying the ashtray.
Gianna suddenly lost the interest to bother herself with Hanzo anymore. She realized that no matter how rude she treated him, he never once retaliated.
“Yeah, right. Smother me with your kindness.” Gianna said as she slammed her body down the couch and crossed her legs.
“After cleaning your unit, I will take my leave.” Hanzo just ignored Gianna’s taunting and continued to pick the trash up around them.
“Hmp! Stop ramming guilt into me. I just think that it is not appropriate for an unmarried man and woman to live under one roof.” Gianna slightly blushed as she tried to defend her stand.
“Whoa! I never thought that the cold Gianna is the conservative type. But, we are not romantically involve so there is nothing for you to worry about. You are safe with me.” Hanzo said as he carefully placed his trash inside the garbage bin in the kitchen.
“I’m still not buying it. Anyway, I would like you to check something for me.” Gianna then took out the SD card from her pants’ pocket and placed it on the table for Hanzo to see.
“What’s that?” Hanzo asked as he washed his hands under the running water from the faucet.
“See it for yourself.” Gianna replied as she opened the box of pizza, ready to take a slice.
Hanzo was still drying his hands with paper towel when he went back to the living area. He then picked the SD card up and looked at Gianna.
“An evidence against your new boss?” Hanzo asked jokingly as he mounted the SD card in one the slots of his laptop.
“Nah. The SD card contains a CCTV footage. I want you to reproduce a clearer copy of it as well as find out the identity of the four men wearing black leather jackets.” Gianna leaned closer to the table as she meticulously pulled a slice of pizza.
“Hmm? Is this of personal interest?”
Gianna took a bite from the slice of pizza and thoroughly chewed it before she answered: “Mmm.. How should I say this… I suggest you watch the footage then I will narrate the events as the video plays.”
“Seemed okay to me.” Hanzo agreed to watch the footage while Gianna speak in the background.
“As you can see, I was alone inside the elevator until four suspicious looking men went in and took a ride with me in the elevator.” Gianna started narrating the series of events.
“While inside the elevator, I can’t help but hear their conversation about a certain man. But I barely paid attention since I was not interested at them at all.” Gianna paused for short while to take another bite from the pizza before she continued.
“When the elevator descended, the four men rushed out and one of them bumped into an old lady. I quarreled with him and things were about to turn for the worse. Luckily, the security personnel arrived sooner.”
“Mmm…mmm…” Hanzo nodded, patiently waiting for Gianna to finish her narration and to make her point.
“Here comes the climax.” Gianna then put her pizza down to fast forward the video to the part where the guy dropped Wang Yuvin’s photo, however Hanzo quickly stopped her attempt.
“Oi, oi… Keep your greasy fingers off my baby.” Hanzo said, calling his laptop baby.
“Tsk! So fussy!”
“Just tell me when to stop skipping the video.” Hanzo started dragging the bar of the video to skip some scenes.
“There, pause the video at 10:22 mark.” Gianna ordered as she picked her pizza up and took another bite.
“The guy dropped something on the floor and you were quick to get it.”
“I just wanted to annoy that disrespectful person so I decided to pick up the photo he dropped. So I was really taken aback when I saw who was in the photo.”
“Was it me in the photo?” Hanzo asked, seemingly teasing Gianna.
“How I wish you were the person in the photo so you can just go ahead and die ASAP!”
“You really look cute when you get angry.” Hanzo chuckled as he winked at Gianna.
“Gross!” Gianna yelled as she threw the pizza crust straight to Hanzo’s annoying face.
“Hahaha! Sorry, I am just kidding.” Hanzo then ate the pizza crust much to Gianna’s shock. She then shoot a deadly glare at Hanzo.
“What? If you hate wasting time, I hate wasting money.” Hanzo asked, seemingly immune to Gianna’s hostility.
“Okay! Let’s just end this chitchat so we can continue with our tasks! To make the story short, the person in the photo was Master Wang Yuvin!”
“Now I am wondering… Boss asked me to investigate about Yuvin’s future enemies. It seems to me that the group of men you encountered are connected with the people I checked the background.” Hanzo started checking the files he downloaded.
“I see, so they also started to make their move just like us. It is only a matter of time until both sides catch up with each other.” Gianna stared sternly at the screen of Hanzo’s laptop.
“Okay, let me work on the footage. I will also track those guys down while I am on it. Can you please reach out to boss? They need to know this.” Hanzo replied, his countenance became serious.
“Alright. I will call big sis now.” Gianna then took her phone out and dialled Wang Reiji’s number. However, Wang Reiji was not answering her call. Gianna then decided to call another person instead.translates to cheese and pepper
