That woman has already used a sentry machine gun to attack members of the internal investigation team. How could she still surrender?

Even so, this step cannot be omitted.

When working for a large company, the process is very important. Sometimes, the process is even a hundred times more important than the thing itself, because it involves whether it is politically correct.

Clearing his throat, Hippocrates began to shout.

What he said was nothing more than platitudes. He asked Meredith to give up her illusions, come out obediently, and actively cooperate with the company's investigation.

"Hippocrates! Give me some time to think about it!"

Contrary to Hippocrates' expectations, as soon as his shouting ended, the people inside responded immediately.

The speaker of the security system must have been turned on, so now not only Hippocrates heard Meredith's answer, but also the others who came to bear witness.

In this case, even though he was very reluctant, Hippocrates could not take action immediately.

Considering that his people still needed some time to unblock Meredith's computer firewall, Hippocrates readily agreed.

"Even if it's just a delay, Meredith, you're dead."

After inspecting the encirclement again, Hippocrates felt relieved.

He sets a five-minute countdown, and that's the last bit of decency he gives Meredith.

"Amber? Amber, my good daughter, come quickly!"

Taking advantage of this moment, Meredith had already gone upstairs and hugged her daughter.

"Amber, let me introduce you to an uncle. His name is Peacock. He is my mother's good friend.

Peacock, this is my daughter Amber."

When Meredith brought the girl with the big eyes to Peacock, she introduced Peacock in a softer tone than Peacock had ever heard.

"Hi, you are Amber, I heard your mother mentioned it. How are you?"

Looking at the timid little girl, Peacock's heart suddenly melted.

He smiled and knelt down, winking at Amber.

"Mom, I have met this uncle. He came to our house last time."

Glancing at the peacock in front of her, Amber raised her face and looked at her mother again.

"Yes, Amber, you have a really good memory. Uncle Peacock came to our house last time, so you and he know each other now."

Gently patting her daughter's little head, Meredith's eyes were full of doting.

If she could, she really wanted to stay with her daughter like this. But time waited for no one, so she could only speak her mind.

"Amber, mom just received a call from the company. They have very important matters waiting for mom to deal with.

So tonight I want you to stay with Uncle Peacock, and he will take you to a fun place.

You are not allowed to cry or make trouble, and you must listen to Uncle Peacock in everything."

"Mom, when will you pick me up?"

"I will come to you tomorrow. The earliest will be in the morning, and the latest will not be after noon.

Amber, will you listen to mother?"

Looking at her mother beside her and then at the peacock opposite, Amber grinned.

When Peacock thought she would cry, the little girl nodded aggrievedly.

"Mom, you have to go to work, so I will definitely support you. But you have to pick me up early, preferably as soon as dawn tomorrow."

Holding her mother's hand, Amber solemnly told Meredith.

When she said this, her eyes were shining, but she could still control herself and didn't let herself cry.

"Amber, be good, I know you listen to your mother the most. Mom will definitely come to pick up Amber as quickly as possible, I promise!"

Meredith hugged Amber in front of her and held her tightly in her arms.

Reason told her that she should let go, because Amber in her arms was a little overwhelmed.

But Meredith still allowed herself to be bold. She hugged him for two more seconds, and then let go.

When Meredith stood up again, the weakness she had just shown was gone.

Now she has turned into a tigress gnashing her teeth and wanting to protect her cubs.

Pulling open the compartment under the gun cabinet, Meredith took out a small school bag.

In front of the peacock, she opened it and showed the contents to the peacock.

In addition to drinking water and food for one person, there was also a pack of colorful paper boxes in the bag.

"Peacock, Amber's health is not good, she needs Nefiniti injection every 7 days.

There are now 96 hours until her next injection, and these Nefinitis are in reserve.

Just in case, I mean just in case, you must remember to inject her on time."

When saying this, Meredith seemed to use all her strength, and this was the first time Peacock saw her so excited.

Meredith certainly had reason to be so excited. In order for her daughter to escape safely, she was going to give the amber to a stranger, but she had to stay and hold on as long as possible.

This is a trust as heavy as Mount Tai, so the peacock has become extremely serious.

"Don't worry, Meredith, I will never forget my oath.

As for these medicines, I think there is no need for me to inject Amber. I am just keeping them for you now and will return them to you tomorrow."

After receiving Peacock's assurance again, Meredith nodded and put the things back into her small school bag.

Without her having to say anything, Amber turned around obediently and asked her mother to put the small schoolbag on her back.

Seeing how skillfully they cooperated, Peacock guessed that Meredith and Amber often did this kind of drill.

After putting Amber away, Meredith reached out and grabbed the sconce lamp on the wall.

As she twisted hard, Peacock felt a slight vibration on the ground.

Five seconds later, the floor in front of him separated to the left and right, revealing the secret passage below.

"Now, go ahead. Peacock, we'll see you tomorrow at the Wall of Sighs.

Amber, remember to be obedient."

While saying this, Meredith put her daughter's little hand into Peacock's hand.

Because it was her mother who did this, the little girl did not dodge.

Holding that little hand, Peacock has never felt such a heavy responsibility as now.

He didn't talk nonsense, he just nodded again, and then walked into the passage with Amber in his arms.

When the two of them were about to disappear into the darkness, Peacock and Amber stopped at the same time and looked back at Meredith again.

"go Go!"

Seeing Meredith who was obviously reluctant to leave but still trying to force a smile, Peacock patted the little girl gently and then let her lie on his back.

"Meredith, you must keep your promise and never die."

Because of Amber's presence, Peacock did not say these words. He could only sigh secretly in his heart, and then quickly rushed into the passage in front of him.

Seeing Peacock and Amber leave, the last smile on Meredith's face disappeared.

Because she had to go in later, Meredith just pulled the carpet and hastily covered the entrance, and then she quickly rushed to the door.

At this time, she could no longer use her home defense system to check what was going on outside. Just when she was sending her daughter away, the hackers finally broke through her home's firewall.

All surveillance cameras are now disabled, and the sentry machine guns outside have either been destroyed or have been controlled by hackers.

Although it got off to a bad start, Meredith didn't care.

After arranging Amber, she no longer had any worries, so she was going to do something big.

Peacock had already reached the end of the tunnel when he heard the faint sound of firefighting behind him.

Meredith's secret passage can only accommodate an adult walking. It extends almost straight forward, with a total length of more than 50 meters.

Even so, this is already quite a huge project. I don't know how much effort that woman Meredith put in to create such a passage.

Peacock was mentally prepared for the gunfire behind him.

In a sense, the more intense the gunfire from behind, the safer he and Little Amber will be.

The more intense the gunfire, the more enemies the mother attracted to them.

Now Peacock's chance of escape was bought by someone else's life, so he didn't dare to waste a minute, which is why he had to carry Amber on his back.

As soon as he entered the secret passage, he started running wildly, so he quickly saw the end.

"Amber, where does this lead to? Have you been here before?"

After rushing to the end in one breath, Peacock didn't have time to catch his breath, so he put the little girl down from his back.

At this moment, there was a trap door in front of him, but he did not dare to act rashly.
