The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day

Chapter 145: A Desperate Gamble

He stepped forward and asked coldly, "What happened?"

The blonde man wore a troubled expression, incredulously saying, "The firewall and obstacle programs I meticulously set up were actually breached..."

"Get to the point." The man said directly, "I’m not interested in the process, just the outcome."

The blonde stammered, "The, the outcome is, they could find our location in less than two minutes."

The man’s expression grew serious.

He knew that Damian Knight always had various brilliant minds around him, some in the open and some hidden, and in the field of networking, there was one guy named Isaac Ross who was particularly skilled.

That’s why he deliberately chose the Stanton Group, blocking all signals so that Damian Knight wouldn’t be able to contact Isaac Ross.

With Isaac Ross isolated, this situation shouldn’t have occurred.

What on earth is going on...

Could it be that there’s someone around Damian Knight that he doesn’t know about?

The blonde anxiously fiddled with his fingers and said, "Duke, we need to make a decision now... Their goal is obvious—they want to regain control of the intelligent gates. If we directly hand back the control, given the intelligence from their side, they won’t have time to continue tracking our location. But if we don’t relinquish control, we’ll be exposed to Damian Knight’s sight. Then it won’t be us in the dark and them in the light. Dealing with them will become much harder..."

The man fell silent.

Once they hand back control, this plan will have been for nothing.

Just let go of that damn Damian Knight? He was unwilling!

This opportunity was a perfect convergence of time, place, and people, a trap set while Damian Knight was completely off guard. If they let him escape this time, it won’t be so easy to trap him in a building again.

The man clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his arms standing out.

The blonde man clacked away at the computer, saying anxiously, "Duke, you need to make a decision quickly! Their speed is too fast, bypassing defenses quicker than I can re-model them; I won’t hold out much longer, she’ll soon find our location!"

"Duke!" The blonde man stood up in urgency, his voice several times louder than usual.

Finally releasing his clenched teeth, the man’s voice eerie, "Give it back to her."

The blonde man’s expression eased, and he immediately set about executing operations on the computer.

...

Across the ocean, in the Crestfall Stanton Group’s security room on the second floor.

The third explosion occurred.

With a deafening "Boom—" a huge blast echoed from upstairs once again.

This time the explosion was a bit farther from the second floor, so it didn’t directly impact it.

Unfortunately, the already precarious half of the ceiling was dealt a final blow, losing its last bit of structural stability and slowly starting to collapse.

"There’s no time!" Damian Knight grabbed Summer Monroe by the wrist and said, "Let’s go! This place will collapse in ten seconds!"

Summer Monroe didn’t move; her eyes remained glued to the screen, saying, "Almost there! I’m almost in!"

"Forget it! Go!"

As soon as Damian Knight finished speaking, a massive chunk of cement and steel ceiling fell in a corner of the room.

Ironically, the window remained utterly unmoved, as firm as a rock.

Summer Monroe shoved Damian Knight away, saying, "You go first! I’ll try once more!"

She wanted to fight desperately, but she didn’t want Damian Knight to die with her.
