Chapter 2287
Although she genuinely wanted to help Lawrence by breaching the electronic badge system, she had already tried
various methods, all of which in vain. She was frustrated with the outcome, but today, Lawrence's mannerisms
gave her a strange feeling.
In the past, Lawrence would rarely ask her anything pertaining to her progress in cracking the system. Recently
however, he had already inquired about it several times in a short window of time. He did not seem to be in a hurry,
but if that was the case, it made no sense as to why he would keep urging her.
Lawrence's behavior was indeed unusual today. Previously, when Nicole reported no progress, he would just
comfort her and tell her not to rush it. But today, of all days, he had urged her to try harder.
She did not want to give him a long-winded explanation about the fact that she had not been lazy. In fact, she really

strange feeling.
She gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay, I will try again. If it really doesn't work, we can think of other ways or find
someone else to help."
Although Lawrence had said that she was the only one who could crack it because she was the most skilled hacker,
she was beginning to have doubts about whether she had completely misunderstood the system. Perhaps someone
else with a different perspective might discover other possibilities.
Lawrence's expression stiffened for a moment but the smile on his face quickly returned. "It's alright. Just give it a
try. There's no need to force it, and I don't plan on finding anyone else. The only person I trust to do this is you."
He could only turn to Nicole for help with this system. Not only was she a skilled hacker; this system was also
something that was highly confidential.
Nicole glanced at Lawrence. "You said it's just an electronic crest, didn't you?"
'He just wants to find a way to access the system and get the electronic crest. There shouldn't be any issues of trust
involved, right?' she wondered.
Lawrence unconsciously turned away, unable to look Nicole in the eye. After all, he could not reveal the truth, at
least not to her.
Nicole's eyes narrowed. She had already found Lawrence's behavior strange today, but at that moment, an
inexplicable suspicion grew within her. Why was Lawrence avoiding her gaze? What was he worried about?
However, when Nicole attempted to pry for more information out of him, a sense of normalcy returned.
Then, Lawrence looked at her gently as he explained, "Yeah, it's just an electronic crest. But it contains some
information
about my private identities, so I prefer not to have anyone else involved."

"Alright," Nicole said, deciding against pushing the envelope. "I will try again."
"Don't stress yourself out," he reminded her as he knew Nicole's tendency to go all out on her work.
Nicole smiled faintly. Indeed, she wanted to crack it as soon as possible.
"Well, I don't wish to get in the way of your work, so I'll be leaving now." Lawrence bade her farewell and left her
office.
After seeing Lawrence off, Nicole leaned back against her chair with a darkened gaze.
She pulled out the electronic system, and the two words," electronic crest", flashed in her mind, reminding her of
the Five Crests for some reason.
Her expression stiffened for a moment as she wondered,1 Could it be...'
After some thought, Nicole shook her head. Apart from the one she had in her possession, the whereabouts of the
other four crests were still unknown. So, Lawrence's crest could not possibly be one of them.
After brushing her thoughts aside, Nicole connected the system to the computer again and began to work diligently.
However, her attempt this time was a little different than before. During the decryption process, Nicole could not
shake off the feeling of deja vu. She could not understand why she felt so familiar with it.
Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted Nicole's train of thought, and the feeling of familiarity vanished abruptly.
