“But you’ve said it yourself that the boss is just like a front desk and that there’s still someone else he has to answer to,” Lily said.
“That’s right, but I’m sure he also has important information and secrets on his hands.” After pondering for a long time, Mike believed the boss should have something to keep himself safe, even if he was technically working for someone else.
Although he was a madman, he also had his own beliefs: this so-called plan and research. Before they completed it, Mike was sure the boss would not allow himself to be in danger.
“So, what you’re trying to say is…” A moment of silence later, Lily raised her brow and looked at Mike.
“We should work hand-in-hand and find the secrets together.”
Mike knew Lily was not here to serve the boss solely. She was just like him. He had been trying to free himself from their control and leave the organization for the longest time. However, he needed to stay to find Nick, but he still had no idea where Nick was until now.
Now that Lily was here, he considered her an extra help to him. Although risks were associated with that, it made no difference because he believed he would also be at risk even if he were not doing anything.
He could not care so much anymore and needed to save his son.
“What’s your plan?” Lily inquired.
“I know he usually takes a break from work and rests in the afternoon, from about 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. every day, when the sun would be the brightest. I spied on him and learned he appeared weakest in those two hours. He had never met anyone in that period, but he did for all the other hours.”
Sometimes, the boss would even summon his people at night and give them his orders.
Mike carefully counted and concluded that the boss had never met anyone from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. He never did.
