Chapter 25 Felicity, praise your wit! (Rewritten)

elicity felt that her mind couldn't keep up with his logical reasoning.

Her previous boyfriend had been confused and sacrificed himself to prevent her from going to prison for over 20 years, only to find out that she had been kidnapped by a guy with antisocial behavior.

However, his files were classified as highly confidential. That's not the treatment a kidnapper would receive. Felicity felt that Stephen was becoming more and more mysterious, and she felt increasingly overwhelmed, wondering how to handle this new situation.

The only thing she was certain of was that being with Stephen was definitely more exciting than breaking into the Ministry of National Defense when she was seventeen!

Felicity looked at Stephen lying down, pondered for a moment, closed her computer, and lay down as well. Since she didn't know what to do at the moment, she decided to leave the problem for time to solve. Exhausted by Stephen for the first time in over 20 years, Felicity soon fell into a deep sleep.

As the saying goes, there's no use worrying about things that can't be solved today because they might still not be solved tomorrow. When Felicity woke up, she hadn't found a solution, and time seemed too indifferent to deal with this mess. So, she got dressed, washed up, and had breakfast, deciding to go to work first. But before leaving, she handed Stephen a key. Although she didn't know how Stephen had returned the previous day, it certainly wasn't through normal means.

With the key in hand, Stephen stayed inside and lazily sprawled on the sofa, basking in the sunlight, allowing his thoughts to gradually dissipate. If Felicity is Green Arrow's future girlfriend, then that means I will have been cheated on. (In Chinese culture, wearing a green hat symbolizes being cheated on.)

If I have enough fun, maybe I'll mention his future girlfriend when I finally meet him. But now Felicity became my girlfriend before she met Green Arrow, so the situation naturally changed.

Stephen had no intention of giving up his fondness for novelty and his disgusting old habits. He didn't mind breaking up, nor did he hate or even kill each other because of love. It was someone like Green Arrow himself who complained about him.

Life is just a journey; we cross paths, and then we part ways.

Fine!

But what if others also want to cross paths?

Brain overrules the heart!

Stephen pondered and concluded that the best solution was to find something for her, something that could fulfill her every day and keep her busy for a lifetime.

Like being a hero?

Felicity naturally had a sense of justice, even though her physical fitness wasn't great. Her hacking skills were incredibly powerful, more than enough to be a logistical hero.

"On the first day of confirming a relationship, we must prepare for a breakup. I'm afraid there's no one like me. Sigh... Impulses are the devil!" Stephen sighed faintly. She'll have to become an overwatch too.

If Felicity were to break up with me, become an ex-girlfriend, and become a symbol of a city, it wouldn't be so bad. Wherever I go, I'll have more than one ex-girlfriend, and the more cities I visit, the more ex-girlfriend clubs I'll have. Wouldn't that be ridiculous? But it's a little exciting to think about.

So when Felicity returned from work, Stephen had already prepared dinner. He helped her take off her coat and led her to the living room, where he explained why he kidnapped Laurel—the process, the reasons, and his interest in her.

"The Queen's Gambit accident wasn't an accident at all, but something deliberate? That's shocking news!" Felicity looked at Stephen in surprise. "How do you know such a secret?"

"I have my ways," Stephen replied.

He refused to elaborate, and Felicity used her brain to imagine different scenarios. Perhaps he was a secret government agent? That would explain why his information was classified at such a high level. Like an undercover agent, he had to pretend to be a villain in order to carry out his mission and gather intelligence.

I must say, a busy mind is terrible, but a simplistic mind is even worse!

With this thought in mind, Felicity instantly felt relieved. At least she didn't have to worry about how to face him anymore.

Grinning brightly, Felicity held Stephen's arm and asked eagerly, "Do you need my help then?"

"Just keep an eye on Laurel," Stephen replied.

"No problem, leave it to me!" Felicity assured him, patting her chest.

After dinner, Felicity turned on the computer and began monitoring Laurel's activities. It was challenging to monitor someone with no contact with any devices, but who was Felicity? Even the Ministry of Defense couldn't resist her hacking skills.

She breached the communication company to find Laurel's phone number and obtained the internal code signal to track the phone's location at any given time. She even recorded and forwarded the contents of each call to her newly created email account.

"Done!"

Felicity's mouth curled into a triumphant smile as she said to Stephen, "As long as she has her phone with her, whether it's broken or turned off, we can track her location anytime using this software. The computer is here at home, so I can teach you how to operate it."

Stephen nodded and listened. After a while, he asked curiously, "So, with just the internal code signal from a communication company, you can monitor the other person's location at any time. Did you write this software yourself?"

"Yes!" Felicity replied, smiling.

"Seems a bit illegal, doesn't it? What do you plan to do with it?"

"Well, my roommate's boyfriend cheated on her for a long time. During that period, I happened to be bored, so I developed this software. But I never used it, not even once," Felicity explained in a hushed tone. Awkwardly changing the subject, she continued, "By the way, I noticed you don't have a cellphone. How about I get you one?"

"…"

That's quite an explanation, or is it a hint?

Stephen applauded Felicity's cleverness!
