Chapter 1026: I Have What You Want
He said to Nathalie Quinlan in a cultured and gentle manner, "You go out first and wait for me outside. I will have a chat with a few professors and come out immediately."
Nathalie Quinlan only said she was coming to find him, but didn’t specify what for. He thought it was related to the opening ceremony and did not think too deeply about it.
Who would have known, the girl lifted her cap’s brim slightly, didn’t leave, straightened her legs, and walked towards them, her tone arrogant and to the point: "Are you looking for an Illegal Zone access pass? I have one."
The six words "Illegal Zone access pass" were enough to bring the office into a deathly silence.
Whether it was Jackson Wafford or the several people from Tsinghua University’s research team, all were stunned in place, exchanging glances, and shock was evident in each other’s eyes.
In Beijing, only a very small part of the population is aware of the existence of the Illegal Zone.
They are all from the top circles.
They knew about this place because of their professions, but they had very little understanding of the Illegal Zone.
The girl in front of them appeared quite young, and Mr. Wafford had mentioned, she was a freshman at Tsinghua University this year.
Tsinghua University only starts in September.
How could such a freshman not only know about the Illegal Zone but even possess an access pass to it??
You must know, the access pass to the Illegal Zone is no small matter.
Apart from a few top families in Beijing, hardly anyone else has one.
Without an access pass, one would be sent back from the airport and couldn’t even take a step into the Illegal Zone.
They had tried to obtain it through countless connections but failed, yet the girl in front of them had one.
This was utterly absurd!
Jackson Wafford was the first to recover, hardly believing it, and he frowned subconsciously: "Nathalie, you say you have an access pass to the Illegal Zone, this..."
Nathalie Quinlan was quite composed, her lovely dark eyes looking up at him, one hand in her pocket, a casual and relaxed posture, yet she was very polite: "Mr. Wafford, my dad and Audrick Zachmann are in the Illegal Zone, right?"
Though her attempts to trace Audrick Zachmann’s IP were blocked, she still managed to find the last location before his signal was cut.
It was in the Illegal Zone.
"..." Jackson Wafford was completely speechless, having no idea where she had gotten her information. This matter was very covert, and not many people in the country knew about it, yet Nathalie seemed to know it clearer than he did.
"I have the access pass to the Illegal Zone, and I can take you there, but I have one condition," Nathalie Quinlan said indifferently: "I want to go along."
Based on the information revealed in their earlier conversation, this matter seemed to have some connection to the Red Alliance.
She, indeed, wanted to see what the relation to the Red Alliance was all about.
"That place is not as you imagine, it’s not very safe, you should stay in the country and wait for our news, if I have any news of Professor Zachmann, I will inform you immediately," said Mr. Wafford.
Before Mr. Wafford could finish speaking, Nathalie Quinlan interrupted him, straightened up, and said nonchalantly, "You all can think it over, I will go back and wait for your message."
Jackson Wafford: "..."

Basically, there was nothing much to consider about this matter, as Stanley Zachmann and his team had already been detained for three days, and were also cut off from external communication for three days.
Every minute and every second was critical.
In the evening, Jackson Wafford sent her a message, which included the flight schedule for the next day.
Nathalie Quinlan had just come out of the shower.
Her hair still dripping wet, she didn’t care, pulled the chair away from the desk, sat down with her legs propped up, her bare ankles swinging and dazzlingly white, she casually opened her laptop.
She retrieved the Red Alliance software from the empty desktop.
Clicked into it.
Then sent a message in the group.
[SUN: I’m making a trip to the Illegal Zone.]
