hear what latthew and the others were saving.
le knew his plan had failed, and it was likely he would never have another chance to target Matthew again.

le climbed down from the large rock, squeezed through the bashes, and quickly got into his car, speeding back
to the city.

looking good. m leaving the country. You guys should get out quickly tool loth of them responded with the same
thing: What about the money?
Mindless Thrill glanced ahead and saw a residential complex nearby. At the entrance of Starlight Complex on
Cedar Road,

le had gathered a lot of cash and
a lot of cash and gold bars over the past five years by taking out money from the bank and buying gold. He :ept
them in his car so he could leave quickly if he needed to After parking the car, he put on a mask, stored two
bags of cash and gold bars in separate lockers, and then sent the locker numbers and passwords to his
accomplices.
Finally, he bid f farewell. [Gover, never to to meet again.] The other two also replied. [Never to to meet
again.]
After saying that, Mindless Thrill began to deactivate his account.
But the But deactivation process was fraught with difficulties-full of glitches and crashes Frustrated, he kept
slamming his phone against the car seat and shouted, "D****n it, I'm already down on my luck, and now this
c**py gis trying to mess with me. Do you believe I'll go complain to the Ministry of of Industry and
Information Technology about you?"
After struggling for for over ten minutes, he finally managed to deactivate his account.
He let out a long sigh of relief.
Even though Matthew was a genius with substantial funds and connections, it was unlikely he could find him in
such a short time
Next,
he encountered something that infuriated him even more
He cursed inwardly, 'Is it already this crowded on the streets so early in the morning?"
He lived in a bustling area, and during the morning rush hour, what would normally be a half-hour drive into the
city turned into over an hour.
While stuck in traffic, he called his company to request leave, claiming that his grandfather was cemically ill and
he seede to take a few days off urgently
The leave request went smoothly, and his boss did not raise any auspicions.

studded brooches, platinum rings, jade bracelets, and a lucky charm pendant.
He packed everything into a single suitcase.
He then shut the doors and windows, turned off the electricity and water, left his residence, and drove to the
airport.
He wasn't sure if he was overreacting, but he couldn't afford to take the risk.
Upon arriving at the airport, he booked a short-term room at the airport hotel. Nor daring to go outside, he

He grabbed his suitcase, went downstairs, completed the check-out process at the front desk, and walked out of
the hotel. ready to check in for his flight.
The next moment, the dashing Louis, accompanied by two men in suits, appeared before him. With polite
courtesy, he said. "Mr. Lewis, Mr. Gral nquests your presence."
Mindless Thrill opened his mouth. trying to feign calm, and asked, "Who is Mr. Graham? What does he want with
me
However,
before
he could say anything further, his legs went weak from panic and he fell to the ground.
Louis looked down at him with a smile. "Help Mr. Lewis into the
car"
Mindless Thrill always believed he had excellent psychological resilience. He had often imagined how he would
remain calm and composed if one day he were to be found by Matthew, and then escape, just like a secret agent
in the movies. However, when that when that moment finally arrived, he realized it was nothing like he had
imagined,
After being dragged into the car, he felt like a fish out of water, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably with
fear, nearly gasping for breath. "How how did you find me..." he stammered
Louis sat beside him, adjusted his glasses, and said slowly, Tl tell you only two things."
He cleared her throat. ‘First, Lockwood did not detect any DNA on the cigarette butts or beverage wrappers left
by the killer. After all, five years have passed, and the physical evidence has mostly deteriorated. Second, after
Lockwood learned about Mindless Thrill from the thugs, he used his advanced hacking skills to infiltrate the
game's backend. He found Mindless Thrill's registration information and even monitored your conversations with
your accomplices. Right now, Mr. Graham's people are stationed near the package lockers at Complex, waiting f

Mindless Thrill's body was already trembling, but upon hearing this, his face turned ashen, his shakingceased,
and his eyes lost all their light
He had fallen into the trap.
From the moment he saw Lockwood trending, he began to panic and lost his composure...
In the hotel's presidential suite, Matthew said to Athena, who was eating, "Miss Donovan, Louis has caught
Mindless ThrillR
Athena, who had slept from noon until evening and was now quite hungry, asked while eating. "What's the
situation with the killer?"
Matthew said, "He is a senior engineer at one of the chemical companies under the Graham Group. It's likely that
he either manufactured or acquired the explosives. Athena nodded and asked, "What about his accomplices?
Matthew replied, "My prople are stationed near the package lockers. They should be able to catch the
accomplices soon" Chapter 123

Athena patted her small belly contentedly and said, "Oh, since the killer has been caught, | should head back
now?
"Alright." Matthew said, not insisting she stay. "You've had a long day, so you shouldn't drive. I'll send someone
to take you home.
It wasn't that he didn't want Athena to stay, but he still had a lot of things to do next. In addition, he didn't want
the Graham family's people to notice her presence.
It was better for Athena to head back early.
Athena reminded Matthew. "Be sure to letknow once you have clarified all the details of the case."
Matthew smiled and replied, "This case owes a lot to you, Miss Donovan. You have the right to know all the
details,"
Athena nodded, put on her mask, and stood up. "Well then, I'll be leaving
Matthew looked apologetic and said,
