Pursuing Her Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Who Are You Really

Sophie did not need to do self-studying sessions on Saturday night, so she went to Monarch Malland bought a gift. Just as she was about to head home, she encountered Eustace and theothers.Eustace looked like he was in the middle of an angry outburst, and the few technicians besidehim barely dared to take a breath.”Captain Sheppard, isn’t that Ms. Tanner? Maybe we should askher for help.” Although Danny was embarrassed about failing the pursuit despite being aprofessional technician, he knew that Sophie was rather brilliant. Maybe she'll be able to help usout.”Ms. Tanner?” Eustace looked in the direction Danny was staring in and saw Sophie, who had herhead lowered as she used her phone.The young woman was wearing a set of ordinary clothes thatshe bought off Amazon. Her hair hung loosely over her shoulders, and she looked plain. Despite so,many people were still looking at her.After all, she was pretty, and pretty people would always catchthe attention of others easily."Yes."Eustace and Danny then walked over.Noticing a sudden shadowlooming over her, Sophie raised her head only to see Eustace.”Anything I can help you with?"“Ms.Tanner, can you do us a favor?” It was quite an urgent matter, and if they messed it up, everyone inMonarch Mall would die.In response, Sophie took out a piece of chewing gum to put in her mouthbefore she asked, "What is it?"Eustace pulled Sophie to the side.”A desperado has run into MonarchMall and is now hiding in here. It's Saturday today, and there are lots of people in MonarchMall."“Can't you just go in and arrest him?” I'm not a police officer. I cant help with that, can 17"Well,the thing is, he has a bomb on him."If not for the bomb, I wouldn't have called him adesperado.”We'll only give him too much pressure if so many of us enter. And a cornered beast willdefinitely do something wild and unpredictable. That's why we need to pinpoint where he is. Thisman is an intelligent criminal. Our people can't figure out where he is exactly, and the longer thisdrags on, the more danger the people inside will be in."They were in Jipsdale, and this was theMonarch Mall. If anything were to happen here, Chanaea would become the laughingstock of thewhole world.Most importantly, there were plenty of patrons in Monarch Mall, and they were allgoing to die.After Sophie heard what was going on, she bobbed her head."Okay, I'll help youout."Hearing that, Eustace led Sophie to a black car where a technician was still trying to trace thecriminal’s whereabouts.Sadly, he could not even replace a single clue. He had never encounteredsomeone as brilliant as the criminal. It was as if someone else was covering the criminal’s tracks forhim.Danny asked the technician before the machine to stand up and invited Sophie to sit down.Stillchewing on the gum, Sophie's slender fingers danced elegantly across the keyboard Eustacewatched her work from behind her, hoping that she could speed up even more.“Someone’s helpinghim."Sophie frowned. She knew then the criminal case was getting complicated.There’s more thanone man, and they had entered Monarch Mall with ulterior motives.”Do you have any way to trackhim down?"“Yes."Lines and lines of code appeared on the screen as Sophie fought against thehacker behind the criminals.Five minutes later, the screen of the other party's computer turnedblack, and he could not turn it on anymore.”What the f*ck? What kind of person did Eustace replacewho can actually hack my computer?”Now that no one could help the criminal hide anymore, allSophie needed was a minute before she found him.A red dot appeared on the screen."You'reamazing, Ms. Tanner!” Danny could not help but cry out."You can go apprehend him now.” Thankyou. I'll transfer you the monetary reward for this."“Okay,” was all Sophie said.Eustace then hurriedaway to arrest the criminal. As the criminal had a bomb on him, he also brought men from thebomb squad.”Ms. Tanner, you're fantastic! Can I ask you some questions?"“Sorry, but I have somematters to attend to.”With that, Sophie stood up to leave."Danny, who is she? She looksyoung!““Yeah, she’s only eighteen. Don't feel jealous, though. Some are just born a prodigy.” Somepeople were gifted individuals who could do anything with ease. On the other hand, some couldnever become geniuses no matter how hard they tried. Nevertheless, all one needed to do was todo their best.Just as Sophie stepped out of the black car, Tristan called.”Where are you? I'm comingto pick you up.”She doesn't listen to anyone at all. I told her to rest at home because she’s sick, butshe’s running everywhere!“I'm at Monarch Mall,” Sophie replied.After the call ended, she stayed inher spot and waited for him.However, no one expected the criminal to jump off the building.Manypeople were entering and leaving Monarch Mall at that time, so when they saw a man falling to hisdeath from the building, they screamed.Eustace immediately asked his men to seal off theplace.”Hurry up! He still has a bomb on him that hasn't been defused!"The men from the bombsquad rushed over. However, it was their first time seeing such a complicated bomb design, and fora moment, they had no idea what to do.”Evacuate the people,” Eustace promptly ordered.He thenwalked over to Sophie.”Ms. Tanner, please leave quickly. The bomb will go off at any time."Theyhaven't dismantled the bomb even after such a long time?“Captain Sheppard, seems like your menaren't efficient at alll"They can't track down the guy, and they don't even know how to defuse thebomb. The government's wasting their money on them by giving them such high pay!“The otherparty's a Ph.D. student of the prestigious Athene University. He's very smart.”“I never thought thatthe famous Captain Sheppard would be scrambling for excuses.”At that, Sophie handed him the bagin her hands.”Hold this for me. This costs ten million, so don't lose it."That was all she said beforewalking toward the bomb, about to defuse it.Eustace grabbed her.”"What are you doing? Don't youknow how dangerous this is?"Sophie pulled her hand away from his.”"Don’t worry. I won't haunt youif I die."At that, Eustace handed the bag to his subordinate before entering the scene withSophie.“Captain Sheppard, leave now! There's only a minute left!"The men from the bomb squadhad decided to retreat from the scene. After all, the people had all been evacuated, and what theyprioritized most was the safety of the people.”Move aside.”Young lady, this is too dangerous! Youneed to run, now!"Sophie did not want to waste any more breath on him, so she shoved him asideand crouched down to take a glance at the bomb. Then, she took the equipment from theside.”Captain Sheppard, this is a real bomb!"This isn't a game! Is this girl not afraid of dying?”Bothof you should evacuate now,” Eustace said to the two bomb squad technicians.”Captain Sheppard...”was all the two technicians could say before they realized that there was no time left.Thus, theybegan running away from the scene.”Get down,” Sophie ordered.Eustace had always been the oneto order others around, but a young woman was now the one giving orders. Nevertheless, he stilldid as she said.After Sophie cut the green line, she then cut the red one.Everyone on the specialpolice force was sprawled on the floor. Even the men from the bomb squad could not defuse thebomb, so all of them were sure that it would go off. However, ten seconds passed. Then, twenty.Thirty. A minute.Sophie stood up and began walking away.When she saw Eustace still sprawled onthe ground, her lips curled.Her smile was what greeted Eustace when he lifted his head.It was ablinding grin.“Who are you really?” he asked, staring at the young woman in front of him inconfoundment.
