?Chapter 400:


    Samuel sounded almost breathless with excitement. Tracking down TS, a legendary hacker who had remained hidden and mysterious for years, was no small feat. TS was a master at covering their tracks and concealing their identity.


    Their reputation in the circle was almost mythical. Luckily, during the recent crisis with the Adams Group’s firewall, TS’s intervention provided a crucial clue. This allowed Samuel to backtrack and finally uncover a lead.


    Even so, it had taken him an enormous amount of time and effort. Vincent tightened his grip on the phone and asked in a firm voice, “Are you certain of this?”


    The timing seemed almost too perfect. Vincent found it hard to believe that TS, the hacker he had been searching for, was currently staying in the same hotel as him.


    He nced ahead and caught sight of Katelyn’s figure in the distance.


    “TS.” He mouthed those letters quietly, still unsure of the meaning behind the mysterious alias.


    Samuel continued with a tone of certainty, “Mr. Adams, the information I have is solid. I even tracked down the private number TS once used for dealings. It might not be active anymore, but you could try reaching out.” As he finished speaking, he forwarded the number to Vincent’s phone.


    That number had always been used for transactions when TS was still working. But given how much time had passed since TS’s retirement, it was uncertain if it was still in service.


    “I see,” Vincent replied before ending the call.


    He stared at the number Samuel had sent but didn’t make the call immediately. Instead, he quickened his steps, determined to catch up with Katelyn.


    Katelyn, meanwhile, had stepped out of the elevator first to give Vincent some privacy when she heard his phone ring, and therefore, she hadn’t heard any part of his conversation with Samuel.

    However, her thoughts drifted back to what he had mentioned earlier at the castle.


    “Mr. Adams, is there a problem with thepany?” she asked, looking over her shoulder as he caught up.


    Vincent shook his head but kept his gaze fixed on Katelyn. In the next moment, he dialed the number Samuel had sent him.


    He knew that cross-border calls could often have a slight dy, so he carefully watched Katelyn’s reaction and paid close attention to her phone. Within moments, her phone began to ring.


    Vincent immediately noticed that the ringtone was different from the one he was used to hearing.


    This suggested only two possibilities: Either she had recently changed her ringtone, or she was using a second number that he didn’t know about.<fn83d0> Get full chapters from find~novel</fn83d0>


    Katelyn seemed caught off guard when she saw the unfamiliar number sh on her screen.


    She hadn’t used that number in years. It was the one she reserved for specific orders. How could someone be calling her through that number now?


    She frowned as she considered the situation for a moment. Then, without wasting any time, she declined the call.


    She needed to concentrate fully on securing the castle and handling Selina. If someone had an urgent matter, they would have to wait until she finished her current project.


    As soon as Katelyn ended the call, Vincent’s phone showed that it had been disconnected. This only added to his doubts.


    He looked up, studying Katelyn closely and noticing the brief flicker of emotion in her eyes.


    “Who was it?” he asked.


    Katelyn was caught off guard by Vincent’s unexpected question. He respected her boundaries and rarely inquired about her personal matters.


    “It was an unknown number. They probably called the wrong number.” She tried to sound casual, but his gaze remained fixed on her.


    With a direct smile, he responded, “Samuel gave me TS’s private number just now. I called it, and the call was rejected at the same moment you rejected yours.”


    Though his tone was casual, his words struck Katelyn like a jolt.


    Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly pieced together why Vincent had asked about her call earlier. He had been testing her.


    She understood the extent of Vincent’s power and influence. If he was determined to uncover the identity of TS, it was inevitable he would eventually uncover the truth. That was why she had stopped all online activities after the firewall incident.


    However, despite her precautions, Vincent’s suspicions had not faded. He was still pursuing the truth. Katelyn gave an evasive response and avoided eye contact with him.


    “It was probably just a coincidence.”


    “Was it really?” Vincent replied.
