Chapter 216
Astrid frowned, her face unchanging. “No problem, I got this.”
Seeing Astrid so calm, Lamont asked nervously, “Astrid, are you sure you’re okay? Do you want me to use our connections to look into this? We’re not even sure if there’s been a car accident!”
“I’ll look into it. You guys stay alert and keep people away from my floor.” With that, Astrid shut the door.
Lamont’s worries grew. He wasn’t scared when they were bidding against other organizations because those transactions were anonymous on the dark web.
But if their info got leaked, things would turn nasty.
They had plenty of enemies. Peaceful days might soon be a thing of the past.
After arranging his team, Lamont texted Chad, “Chad, we’ve got a situation. Our contact info has been leaked. Someone called and said, Quincy had been in a car accident!”
Chad was at a barbecue stand when he saw the message.
He put down his chicken leg, wiped his mouth, and quickly replied, “Is this info legit?”
Lamont replied. “Still checking.”
“Keep Chief safe. If anything happens to her, you’re responsible.”
“Got it. Don’t worry.”
As he put down his phone, Chad lost his appetite for the barbecue.
He looked at Hank, who was sitting across from him, “Hank, Chief might be in trouble.”
“What? Who dares to mess with our Chief?” Hank smashed his beer bottle on the table and started furiously tapping on his phone.
Chad was perplexed, “What are you doing?”
“Booking a flight so we can go protect our Chief!!” Hank stood up and said to the barbecue stand owner, “Boss, check please!”
