The Villain's Redemption - Chapter 328 - The Culprit

Chapter 328 – The Culprit

Scarlette made sure that Amanda and Grant won’t meet. However, the current circ.u.mstances were clearly against her wishes.

Who would have thought that Sienna Rouse would actually want to hire someone from C University? Scarlette never heard anything about Sienna in the past life so she had no clue what this woman was capable of. All she knew is that she wanted to recruit some talents from the C University.

At this point in time, Scarlette isn’t aware that Grant came with Sienna at C University.

“Is there any way for me to get inside without your help?” she asked after a few minutes of mulling over the issue. For some reason, her instincts is telling her that something is going to happen today.

“I don’t know seduce the guard? Or other student.”

“You— ”

“I already told you about that event.” Nicholas said. “The CEO of Rouse Tech is here. It’s the Rouse Tech! ROUSE TECH? Have you heard of them? They are all over the news lately. I’ve been wondering what the CEO looked like in person. It turns out that she is a real pretty woman. Skinny but hot.”

“Can you stop talking like that?”

“Jealous?”

“Screw you. Can you just tell me a way to get inside? I will pay you!” At the mention of money, Nicholas’ face lit up.

“Now we’re talkin…”

…..

“What are you doing?”

“I thought your search is too broad.” Grant started typing in Amanda’s laptop. The tapping sound seemed to drown the small s.p.a.ce at the back stage was located.

“Huh?”

“Think about it. The person who did this should be a student. In this school.”

“I know. Isn’t that why I searched the whole school?” In her reasoning, the only people that could easily get close to the back stage and ruin the wires would be someone in this school. Because of this, she had searched all the staff and everyone that the school employed as well as the students. “What do you mean by it’s not broad enough?”

“You didn’t search the ones in your cla.s.s.”

“Why would the people who wanted to find jobs do that?”

Grant shrugged in response. “How did you know?”

That made her speechless. Actually, she didn’t know the answer to that question. She didn’t know if everyone in her cla.s.s wanted a job. But she a.s.sumed that… “Why would they want to ruin all the job hiring events in the school?” This didn’t only happen in their department but in all departments. She easily a.s.sumed that it was some angry staff. Perhaps a silent janitor who had been bullied by some students or something similar. She never once thought that the culprit would be in her cla.s.s.

“This program is good. It recorded the height, body type, weight and possible sickness of the person just basing on how they walked. How did you do this?”

“You would know once you buy it,” Amanda said. “And you already said you will buy it and give me a check.”

“I’m not buying it.”

“Excuse me?”

“I said… I am not buying it… unless you agree to modify it with me.”

Amanda stared at him. “You want me to work for you?”

He nodded. Again, it was another decision that he made out of impulse. However, the woman before him was very talented. He would do everything to have her help him modify this program and create something that could easily help the police in identifying criminals.

“You said that he should be about our age, about five foot ten and his gait suggests that he had problems in his kidneys?”

Amanda nodded. “The program is old and outdated. I could— ”

“No need. I found this man. Third year … your friend?” Grant said when he saw her reaction. “He was the only one with kidney problems. He was arrested for theft when he was sixteen. And he is friends with a few important people in the black market.” Grant continued typing. Honestly, he wanted to show her what he was capable of. And yes, he was just doing this to make her work for him. Nothing more.

“His phone number… ah… he is at the cafe outside of the…” He immediately accessed the CCTV of the cafe and slowly, his eyes widened. Recognition apparent in his gaze. He couldn’t help but wonder why Scarlette was there, talking to Nicholas.

“I didn’t know Nick had a girlfriend.” Amanda murmured.

“You like him?” he asked before he could think. Irritation flashed in his eyes. Why was he so irritated?

Luckily, it looked like Amanda missed his reaction. She snorted and said, “What? Of course, not! I just never thought that he would settle.” Nicholas was known for his tendency to decline a woman’s confession. The man wasn’t particularly smart but he was athletic. He is a member of the swimming team and a lot of women follow her around. In fact, the man had a fan club inside the university.

The only reason why she was friends with him is because he helped her fix a couple of lights at the school swimming pool. And he also taught her how to swim.

“Are you sure about this?” she asked.

“I just used the data that you provided. I didn’t do anything else.”

Amanda pursed her lips. “But why would he ruin all those wires and literally all the opportunities for their friends?”

“You notice something weird about him?”

“No. He was a funny guy.” Nicholas was really curious, fun and blunt. He would say whatever it was that he wanted to say. He liked to joke a lot and eat— something that she liked to do to. In fact, the two of them also bonded over different types of food.

“Want me to get more evidence? I can create a program that would compare his schedule and his whereabouts around the time that this person ruin the wires.”

“No need.” Amanda squinted. “I will deal with him on my own.”

“Then… can I watch?” Grant asked.
