The next morning at 5 o'clock, Elijah's phone screen lit up. He had received a new message. Two hours later, he woke up and opened his phone to see the message from Joey.
"Boss, according to Mike, he's a very powerful hacker."
"He's gay."
"Boss, I need to take a day off."
Looking at these three messages, Elijah frowned. How did Joey manage to find out so much critical information in just one night? Mike was not an easy person to deal with, and he wouldn't just reveal his information to a stranger for no reason.
With that in mind, Elijah called Joey.
"Joey, how did you manage to get this information from Mike?"
Joey was silent for two seconds and sounded a bit tired. "He said it when he was drunk last night."
"That's it?"
"Yeah. I was also drunk, and my head hurts. So I want to take a day off."
"Okay. Rest well at home."
...
Silverleaf Ridge.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Violette was getting ready to send her two children to school.
"Mom, did Uncle Mike not come back to sleep last night? I looked in his room, and he wasn't there!" Rita, with her backpack on, looked curious.
