Bonnie had just finished dinner when there was a knock on her door.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
The sound brought a smile to Bonnie's face. It seemed Falcon had returned with the chip. It was perfect timing since she had rested enough and could now check if her chip was still intact.
Bonnie collected her thoughts, stood up, and opened the door.
However, it was Mr. Billy who stood before her instead of Falcon.
She was momentarily stunned but quickly smiled at Mr. Billy and asked, "Mr. Billy, what brings you here? Do you need something from me?"
Mr. Billy scanned her room and asked, "Where's Falcon? Isn't he here with you?"
Bonnie furrowed her brows lightly, a hint of confusion passing through her eyes.
‘Hmm? Why did Mr. Billy come looking for Falcon here? Did Falcon not inform Mr. Billy about going to retrieve the chip?’
‘But it is strange. Someone as cautious as Mr. Billy won’t likely allow Falcon to take the chip out and hide it. Could it be that the chip Falcon left with Mr. Billy's organization was a decoy, and he had hidden the real chip elsewhere?’
Although Bonnie thought this, she didn't voice it. She looked at Mr. Billy calmly and replied, "No, Mr. Billy. Is there something important you need to discuss with Falcon?"
"It's nothing important," Mr. Billy glanced into Bonnie's room again. "Since he's not here in your room, forget it. I'll go back first. You rest well."
Mr. Billy quickly left. As Bonnie closed the door after him, there was another knock on her door.
‘Could it be Mr. Billy again, looking for Falcon?’
‘What could be so urgent that Mr. Billy personally came here repeatedly?’
