Chapter 403 - That's My Girl

Elizabeth and Jo quickly pack their things as soon as she was able to get out of bed. No matter how hard she tried to recall what happened earlier to her, she couldn't. This worries Jo a lot leading him to conclude that someone from the society has found them.

"Hey, girlie are you fine?" Jo rushes inside the girl's room with all his things all packed and ready.

"Yeah, I think I'm fine, I don't know why but my head is hurting a lot," Elizabeth answered as she took a moment to breathe some air as she felt suffocated for no reason.

"Hey, girlie, can you really not remember what happened to you earlier?" Jo worriedly asked noticing something odd with her complexion.

"I told you I can't, I swear, every time I think about what happened my head would hurt as if my…"

Jo could already figure out why the girl suddenly paled. "Someone removed your memory?"

"Do you think?" She wonders doubtfully about the thought she was thought of.

"Impossible, if the professor was her and he met you, why would he abandon you now?" Jo suggested as he analyses the situation, "I mean, he has been missing for a long time, our location was just posted in the black market a few hours ago, so how would he know your exact location all the time?"

Elizabeth ponders on the words Jo spoke of, she wonders if it really possible for them to locate their current whereabouts all the time. As she thought hard about it, a sudden idea flashes into her mind…

"Dad."

"Huh?"

"My dad would probably have a way to locate our ever move, I mean, I don't know how to explain it…" Elizabeth couldn't find an explanation for her idea as she contemplates on the idea more.

"What are you the president?" Jo sarcastically comments which brought both of them to silence. He was dumbfounded by the idea he thought about but could see the possibility of it being true. The girl is one of the world's richest daughters and is a member of the royal family. What worse, her family is one of the mysterious families in the underground society who has a strong connection with one of the elite clans.

"Girlie, do you have like a tracker implanted on you or something?" He asked.

"What are you talking about, if a chip was implanted on me I'm sure we wouldn't be able to pass the security of the airport earlier." She rebuked in great annoyance that what Jo suggested could be possible.

"I mean, think about it, those men who followed us at the airport doesn't seem to be your father's men. It seems you father is acting shadow and watching you from behind…" Jo explained as he circled around Elizabeth who was seated on the couch. He contemplated hard on his idea before explaining them to the girl. He wanted to make sure that the girl would realize what he's spouting about it not a total nonsense at all. "I haven't seen Akita nor any of Master Shou ladies tracking us, when Master Shou is known to have the best people when it comes to tracking down people. Also, doesn't a secret agent work for dad as well, I mean, they have access to everything I'm sure he created a system for your dad to track you down without you even noticing it."

Elizabeth was fully aware of her father's subordinate's ability. She knew each of them very well and though what Jo spoke of this time actually made sense. "So, you really think there is a tracking device implanted on me?"

"That I don't know of, but since you state earlier the airport security system didn't detect it meaning maybe you don't have one." He smiles that his thought finally got through as he went down for a seat.

"Then, you're saying a satellite is tracking me down?" She suggested which she thought was unlikely to be true.

"Well, the only way to find out is if you can access your family system. I mean, doesn't your family have its own satellite and those kinds of stuff?"

"I don't know; I haven't really been involved with any of our family matters. My father has allowed access for me at the company but in regards to the things you're saying I have no idea about that." She said.

"Then, the only way to find out is to for you to dig in yourself."

Elizabeth thought Jo's idea was somehow stupid, but she had no choice seeing they needed some answer as to how people were able to locate them so easily.

"Fine."

Jo went to his things and grab a laptop out. He brought it to Elizabeth hoping the girl knows what to do. "Have you done this before?"

"Don't underestimate me…" Elizabeth confidently states as she looked disgusted at Jo for thinking so low of her.

"Hey, I was just asking." Jo shockingly responded surprised how badly the girl was looking at him. "How would I know you know how to do those crazy sh*t."

"Who do you think I am?" Elizabeth turned her attention back to Jo as she raised her brow in the air question him back.

"Alright, I'm sorry, it's not that I doubt your skills or anything, it's just I don't expect girls like you would know such tricky stuff. I mean, normally male heirs of elite family would know this sort of stuff but you…"

"Don't compare my family with those crazy lots." She responded as she worked her way through accessing the back end of the software.

Jo went closer to Elizabeth surprised that the girl was about to access the back end of the software without any problem. Not less than a minute she was able to gather all the information necessary for her to bypass the security system. Since the girl stated earlier her father allowed her to access the family business, soon she was able to find its vulnerability and make her way into the network.

"Girlie, are you really a girl?" Jo stated without thinking causing Elizabeth to stare coldly at him for a moment until she went back on what she was doing. He was so impressed with what she was doing that she continued to praise her, "Man, your even more skill than most of the men in our clan."  

Jo sat back and relax, as his thought wanders with what was unfolding before him, he suddenly started giggling…

Elizabeth was startled when Jo started chuckling beside her, she was taken aback as to what could be so funny. "What's wrong?"

"Girlie, I really can see now why most people back in the society hate you. I mean, you so skilled at everything I can see you have so many enemies. I beat most of the heiress of each clan are your enemies and most of the heirs are your suitors" Jo explained as he continues to laugh out loud.

"Whatever, stop laughing already and check this out…" Elizabeth said with such a serious expression on her face. "Seems you were right."

Jo's slip automatically sealed when he heard the girl state: you were right. He quickly straightened himself and went closer to her. "Bingo."

"I never expected our family could be this scary."

Elizabeth's remark about her family caused Jo to chuckle once more. She ignored him and work her way through the network once again.

"What are you doing now?" He forces himself to stop laughing seeing how serious the girl turned.

"Just watch and learn…" Elizabeth had this meaningful smile on her face which brought such an eerie feeling bringing chills to Jo.

"Girlie, can you please not smile like that, you're freaking me out." He shakily moves away from the girl worried about what she plans to do.

"What are you talking about?" She continues to have the same smile on her face.

"That smile, you look like your about to kill someone." He stated.

"I am, I'm about to kill this system and make sure my father won't be able to track us down for a while until I find another way to completely crash it." She responded.

"Seriously?" Jo was dumbfounded and couldn't respond as he watches the girl do her thing.

…..

Meanwhile, Lord Knightley was having some tea with his parents and wife when Winston bolted in on them.

"Winston, what's wrong?" Elder Lady Knightley asked.

"Winston, why do you look so pale?" Elder Lord Knightley added.

Lord Knightley looked at Winston and smiled proudly as he already suspected what the man has to report. "That's my girl."
