Jennifer held the flash drive and stared at it in stunned silence for a long time. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. “But this is what you use to play music. If you give it to me, how will you listen to music next time?”
The little girl grinned. “That's okay. I have many more at home. Besides, this one can't play music.”
Jennifer was about to return the flash drive to the little girl when she saw a middle-aged woman rush over while calling out reproachfully, “Sara! What have I told you many times before? Don't run off like that!”
The girl named Sara stuck out her tongue, then turned to Jennifer and said, “Bye, then!”
The middle-aged woman kept thanking Jennifer profusely. “I can't thank you enough. Thank you for looking after my granddaughter.”
“Oh, that's quite all right. She's adorable,” Jennifer replied.
After the middle-aged woman had hurried off with Sara, Jennifer glanced at her watch. There were still two hours left before the charity gala.
Hence, she rushed back to Pollerton Estates to change her clothes.
Just as she was about to toss her clothes into the trash can, she felt the flash drive in her pocket. Without knowing why she did it, she plugged it into her laptop.
It was an encrypted flash drive, and a box popped up for her to key in the password.
The password hint was: How did you get this flash drive?
Jennifer could not help chuckling as she suddenly thought of the adorable Sara. She murmured, “Because I'm a good person.”
She typed it in without much thought, never intending to access what was stored in the flash drive. After that, she prepared to remove the flash drive.
But before she could remove it, she stared at the screen in surprise. She had managed to access the flash drive, which meant the password was correct!
A few seconds later, Jennifer froze. Her entire body trembled, and she was drenched in a cold sweat.
The flash drive contained numerous photos and several files.
The photos were gruesome as they were all of a young man committing murders. He even turned to look at the camera and grinned!
