Chapter 848 The Last Mission: Reunion
Day Eighty-Nine...
After talking to Butler Li, Nathan immediately left the Syphiruz Mafia Headquarters, heading to SYP Twilight Corp. He didn't know the full details of what happened. But Butler Li was panicking as he spoke over the phone. It looked like Ethan locked himself in the Simulation Room of the facility.
The simulation room was a testing site for the newly developed robots of SYP Twilight Corp.
For a three-year-old boy, it was indeed dangerous to be trapped in that robot testing ground. To divert Ethan's attention away from Monica, Nathan allowed his father, Old Man Xu to bring Ethan to the company. Who would have thought that this incident would happen?
"What's going on here?" Nathan inquired inquisitively as he observed his environment.
The majority of the staff and the security personnel stayed outside the Simulation Ground. There was a large mechanical door in front of them.
"Sir, I'm sorry. It's my fault. Young Master Ethan went missing earlier. Upon checking the CCTV footage, we found out that he entered the Robots Simulation Ground. When we were about to fetch him, we heard a warning alarm and the mechanical door suddenly locked down, not allowing us to enter the room." Butler Li explained to Nathan.
"Where is my father?" "Chairman Xu is with the IT team right now, trying to figure out how to unlock the door."
After hearing that, Nathan proceeded to the control room of the Robotic Facility. There, he found his father talking to the IT experts and the in-charge of the Simulation Room."
"Tell me what caused this to happen?" Nathan asked his employees.
"Sir, we are not certain if there is a glitch in the system or if someone is controlling the Simulation Facility from the inside." The person in charge responded to Nathan worriedly. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The young master was trapped inside, so the pressure on them was so great. They could lose their job if something happened to Ethan.
Nathan's expression turned grim. He experienced one trouble after another. If this was intentional then he wouldn't forgive anyone who was trying to hurt his loved ones. Monica had just died so he couldn't afford to lose Ethan as well.
Nathan didn't waste his time as he took control of the mother computer. He was trying to check the system, finding out if the automatic lockdown of the Simulation Room was just a glitch in the system or if someone intentionally did it to trap Ethan inside.
The staff just remained silent, feeling the heavy tension in their surroundings. They couldn't interrupt their CEO as he personally searched for the root cause of this unusual incident.
The tap-tap sound of the keyboard echoed in the room. Nathan was so focused on decoding something.
"This happened because you haven't told Ethan yet about Monica's death." Old Man Xu mumbled. Then his expression shifted when he realized something unbelievable. "But wait, how did he manage to control and instruct those robots? Did you teach him?"
Nathan shook his head in response. "No. I haven't taught him yet. I am supposed to bring those robots to our home as my gifts for Ethan on his 4th birthday."
Old Man Xu was going to ask Nathan another question when suddenly, the two robots spoke aloud, calling Ethan's attention.
"Master! We found her! We found her!"
Nathan and Old Man Xu brought their gaze back to the monitor screen. Ethan stopped eating as he jumped off the couch. He approached the two robots and checked the computer.
"Your mother is here," Powy pointed to something on the screen. It was a location.
Riemc also showed him a video clip.
Ethan's face brightened up as he clapped his hands in excitement.
"Good job! Now, open the gate. I'm going to see my Mommy."
After saying that, Ethan ran toward the large mechanical exit door of the Simulation Room.
"My grandson is on the move. Let's follow him!"
Nathan and Old Man Xu hurriedly went out to chase after Ethan. They were worried that Ethan wouldn't be able to handle the truth about Monica's death.
The young boy kept running until he reached the lobby floor of the SYP Twilight Corp. Nathan already instructed the guards not to let Ethan out of the building.
Upon reaching the lobby floor, Nathan and Old Man Xu searched for Ethan. They saw him standing near the entrance door.
"Ethan!" Nathan called him out but Ethan didn't respond to him.
To his surprise, Ethan ran toward someone as he yelled. "Mommy!!!"
Nathan's eyes widened the moment he recognized the person.
