"If you want to go, that's fine," Bonnie said. "But first, I need to ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, I'll let you go."
Upon hearing that Bonnie would quiz him, Collin straightened his back immediately. "Go ahead!"
"When you get there, Billy will definitely test your technical knowledge to assess your abilities. I won't ask you anything too difficult, just a few simple questions." As she spoke, Bonnie quickly listed a few questions. "Alright, answer these. Let’s see if you can."
After hearing the questions, Collin's eyes widened, and his mouth dropped open in shock. He was silent for a moment before he closed his mouth. "Are you sure these are simple questions?"
Collin had learned quite a bit about chip technology by following Bonnie closely, but now he couldn't answer any of her questions. He couldn't even grasp what she was asking.
Bonnie shrugged. "Yes, these are the simplest questions. How will you pass Billy's assessment if you can't understand these? Infiltrating them in this state would be a hundred, even a thousand times more dangerous than if I went."
Collin was silent, though he reluctantly admitted she had a point. He scratched his head vigorously, feeling useless for the first time, unable to help alleviate Bonnie's burdens.
"Chief, is there no other way besides you going personally? Maybe we can develop a better idea if we think harder."
"There are other ways, but me going personally is the most secure." Bonnie’s calm voice carried a wisdom and steadiness that were hard to dispute. "Yasmine’s hypnosis of Billy already alerted them. Now, it’s a rare opportunity to have Falcon transferred into their organization.
“Sending someone else poses a high risk of failure, and it’s dangerous. If I go, I can at least guarantee my safety and escape if things go wrong. Can anyone else guarantee that? Not even you. So, it has to be me."
Collin scratched his head even harder, almost breaking the skin. "You’re right, but Falcon knows you. What if he recognizes you while you’re solving Billy’s tests? That’s what worries me the most."
"You don't need to worry about that. I have a plan to handle it."
Seeing that Collin still wanted to persuade her, Bonnie quickly raised her hand to stop him. "Alright, I've made up my mind. I won't change my decision no matter what you say."
Collin frowned, knowing it was pointless to argue further. "Then, how about I go with you? If something happens, we can look out for each other."
