Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 1564

In another room, Ian was fumbling his way into an air duct entrance.

He had been searching around and no matter how hard he looked, there only seemed to be three hatches.

The woman had been watching him all day, so he couldn't get into the ducts in the daylight. Now, threading his way through each section again, Ian finally located Walter.

Beneath his feet was Walter's room, who seemingly had blended in with the ground-level staff.

The ground-level staff was the easiest to impersonate, all wrapped up in their bulky protective gear.

Walter had already shed his suit. Ian knocked from above. There were no exits here, just a few cracks for ventilation, but Walter could hear him.

Walter looked up, his eyes pinpointing the sound's origin.

Ian asked, "Where's Dylan?"

Had Walter's heart not been sturdy, he might've thought he was seeing ghosts. He had scouted the area while posing as one of the staff, finding no chance to slip away.

Getting exposed would be dangerous; the tactics employed here against people were numerous. But Ian appearing here, how did he manage that?

"No clue. We were shipped to different places. Wait, how did you get up there? Are you hacking the system or something?"

Ian committed Walter's room location to memory and warned him.

"Don't blow your cover."

Walter raised an eyebrow. He obviously knew not to reveal himself; a hundred lives wouldn't suffice if he did.

"I'll come to pass messages. You can't access this duct, but I'll coordinate with everyone."
