Since Poppy knows Madeline, maybe we can start investigating from Madeline.

"Uncle, all information networks have collapsed now, seriously affecting the normal lives of the people in the capital. Although this is not a criminal case, it has already involved the major crime of disrupting social order."

"Alright, this time I will turn a blind eye, but what about next time? If Poppy continues to ignore the law and cause trouble, maybe this time she targeted the capital, next time it could be the entire international community."

"Poppy is the tumor in the hacker world. If she is not eliminated, it will be a time bomb. Who knows what she will do next."

Ariana listed Poppy's crimes ying by ying, making Uncle even more troubled.

"Ariana, what you're saying is not wrong, but our information bureau has been investigating Poppy for so many years, but we have never obtained any evidence of her crimes. It's difficult to get proof of Poppy's crimes."

Ariana approached and hugged Uncle 's arm, coquettishly saying, "I know how to catch Poppy. As long as Uncle mobilizes the manpower to investigate this matter, I can fully cooperate with you."

"How can you cooperate? Do you know Poppy's true identity?"

"I don't know, but I know who we can target." There was a hint of malice in Ariana's eyes.

Since poppies are asking for trouble, then let's deal with it together.

She will see then who else Madeline can rely on!

"Ariana, let Uncle consider this. The interests involved in this matter are too great, I..."

Before Uncle could finish, Ariana interrupted him, "I heard that your superior has been transferred, and now the position of deputy director of the Information Bureau is vacant. If Uncle can make a contribution at this time, who else can compete with you for the position of deputy director?"

Uncle 's eyes flickered at the words.

Indeed, he had been busy competing for the position of deputy director recently, so he had no energy to deal with external matters.

But what Ariana said now does make sense.

Once he catches the poppy, it will definitely be a major achievement, making it easy for him to get a promotion.

Uncle 's eyes became greedy as he said to Ariana, "Who did you mention just now? Uncle will investigate the situation with a team right now."

Ariana blinked slowly and uttered two words.

"Madeline!"

...

*Riinnnggg.*

The doorbell is ringing.

Patrick is sitting on the sofa at this moment, his hair disheveled like a bird's nest, and his shirt wrinkled like burlap.

Madeline is in a temper, ignoring him, and even letting Sophia kick him out of the house.

He had no choice but to go home first.

"Patrick, the doorbell is ringing, why don't you go and answer it?"

The voice of Lina came from upstairs.

Patrick furrowed his brows fiercely, frustrated, grabbed his hair again, and got up to walk towards the door.

Two policemen in uniform stood outside the door. Patrick was taken aback and asked, "What can I do for you?" ying of the uniformed men showed his work ID before stating the purpose of their visit. "We are from the Information Inspection Bureau. We have received a report linking Mrs. Madeline to the recent hacking incident involving the city media network. Please ask her to come out and cooperate with our investigation." Patrick found it absurd. "You must be mistaken. My wife is a victim of this public opinion storm. What does she have to do with the hacking?" The uniformed man spoke firmly, "Whether there is a connection or not, please ask Mrs. Madeline to come with us to the bureau for questioning." Patrick's expression turned cold as he replied calmly, "My wife is not at home. Please leave, and as for your investigation, I will have my lawyer cooperate with you." With that, Patrick closed the door. As he turned around, he saw Lina standing at the staircase applying a face mask, making Patrick's expression even more unpleasant.

"Nan Xavier, who are those two people?" Lina asked pretentiously.

In fact, she knew they were from the Information Bureau. She didn't expect Ariana to be so efficient, attracting people so quickly.

Patrick ignored her, walked over to the sofa, picked up his phone to check for any calls or messages.

But, he was disappointed once again.

"Nan Xavier, did Madeline do something wrong?"

"Mom..."

Unable to hold back any longer, Patrick spoke up, "Madeline has already left because of you, are you satisfied now?"

Lina looked at him with a face full of grievances, "Nan Xavier, what are you talking about? When did I drive her away?"

Originally, Patrick didn't want to do something so extreme. But as he sat on the sofa thinking for a long time, he realized that if certain things continued unchecked, his relationship with Madeline would eventually fall apart.

Since Madeline wasn't here today, it was a good opportunity to have a deep conversation with this mother.

"Mom, stop pretending. I know those online revelations were orchestrated by you, and the people attacking me and Madeline were also bought by you. You purposely played the victim in the media to manipulate public opinion and drive Madeline away. Well, you got what you wanted, Madeline has left now."

"But Mom, I tell you, nothing can stop me and Madeline from getting married. She has given birth to two children for me now. Even if things escalate to the point of breaking ties, I will never abandon her."

"As for you, you should know when to stop. Don't make me completely disappointed in you!"

With the last sentence, he emphasized his tying.

Lina clenched her fists on her lap, tearing off the face mask and looking at him tearfully, "Nan Xavier, how could you misunderstand Mom? Mom didn't do anything or say anything, yet you're accusing me of Everyone."

"Is it really as the internet says, that Madeline is a seductress who has bewitched you, clouding your judgment?"

"Mom!"

Upon hearing this, Patrick slammed the table and stood up abruptly, "Even if Madeline is unbearable in your eyes, she is still my wife, whom I vowed to protect as a diligent husband."

"Whether she has bewitching powers or not, I believe Mom knows more about it than me."

Listening to her son's words, Lina's heart turned ice-cold.

Her son has been completely enchanted by Madeline, beyond any hope of recovery. She has toiled tirelessly to raise him, only for him to forget his mother after marrying a wife. How could she accept that her decades of hard work be in vain, taken over by another woman? Therefore, Madeline must be dealt with!

"Alright, I'm tired, Mom, go back and rest!" Patrickg was indifferent, waving his hand to signal her to leave.

With that said, if Lina still doesn't know how to restrain herself, then there is no need for him to continue staying in this household.

"Patrick, I saw the news today about you and Ariana, you two..."

"I have nothing to do with her, we are completely innocent!" Before Lina could finish speaking, Patrick coldly interrupted.

He knew Lina's intentions well, afraid she would once again try to matchmake him and Ariana.
