Chapter 476 Is it really this heatiness?
Jessica asked, "Can't we set up individual trust codes in the software?"
Cynthia explained, "The anti-tracking system here targets the eavesdropping functions of many underground criminal organizations in the Country M. It blocks all signals comprehensively and with great intensity, making it impossible to set trust codes. As for domestic ones, they have long been regulated and are not allowed to be used. So even if I give you the software, installing it on your phone will be cleared by antivirus software, rendering it useless. Even if being installed, it would still be ineffective."
In other words, using the high-tech software provided by Cynthia in the Country M to block those tracking signals was not the most appropriate method.
So, the only option left was to temporarily change the SIM card and phone.
Not using the SIM card temporarily meant she wouldn't be able to work normally during her time in Washington. Apart from the trusted people around her, she couldn't contact anyone else with the new number to avoid being tracked again.
An actor, or a celebrity, losing contact and disappearing for a few days while visiting family in Washington might cause a huge stir. Hopefully, this could be resolved quickly so she could leave Washington soon.
Jessica was looking at some numbers on a mobile platform, patiently choosing a new phone number for herself. Although her eyes were on the screen, her mind was unsettled. Numbers flashed before her eyes, but she didn't choose any.
"Come eat." Gabriel came over, about to pull her out of the bed, and noticed the numbers displayed on her phone screen.
Gabriel didn't ask her anything, quietly pulling the blanket off her, "Eat first."
Jessica quickly put down her phone, put on the hotel slippers, and followed him to the dining table. There was a large chain supermarket and a 24-hour grocery next to the hotel, so the ingredients Landon bought were very fresh, along with two heated boxed meals.
However, the boxed meals were set aside, untouched by Gabriel. Although there were only two dishes and a soup on the table, they were freshly made.
Jessica usually ate boxed meals and takeout on set. At home, Gabriel wouldn't let her eat takeout, barbecue, or convenience store boxed meals, indicating it was to adjust her diet and avoid overburdening her stomach, preventing her from getting gastritis at a young age like him.
Jessica had previously argued that his gastritis was due to his irregular meals and late nights while starting a business in the Country M. he often forgot to eat when occupied, causing his stomach issues. Gabriel had then seriously stared at her for a while, finally letting her off the hook after she promised to eat fewer boxed meals and takeout.
"What's this? Seaweed soup?" Jessica asked.
"Eat up." Gabriel turned to get her some bread, embodying the ideal of a good husband, turning the presidential suite of their company's seven-star hotel into a cozy three-bedroom apartment.
Jessica licked her tongue. The recent issues with the Jenner family had caused some heatiness, resulting in a small blister on her tongue and a small red pimple on her chin. Although it was not obvious, she rarely got pimples.
Despite his usual casual glances, how did he notice such details? Did she really look that heaty?
Jessica served herself some soup, drinking a whole bowl in one go, and boldly placed the bowl on the table. "Finishing this bowl of soup, and nothing can scare me!"
Gabriel had just brought her the bread and saw her bold stance while drinking the soup. His stern eyebrows moved, "Eat properly. Can you still eat after drinking so much soup?"
"Yes, I can!" Jessica replied confidently.
To prove she could, Jessica ate all the bread Gabriel brought her and quite a bit of the food on the table. She then went to the hotel's top-floor gym, chose a treadmill, and walked slowly for an hour to avoid gaining weight.
Gabriel was in the room, handling the mountain of company files on his computer while drinking coffee.
Jessica was still in the gym, having just sent Gabriel a message on Facebook.
Jessica: [If you keep feeding me like this, the media will think I'm pregnant. I'm gaining weight too fast!]
She also sent a photo of her weighing herself in the gym.
The so-called rapid weight gain was a three-pound increase in a month, measured right after a meal.
Gabriel hadn't replied yet when a message flashed on his computer. Upon opening it, a voice came from the computer, "Mr. Harriman, the anti-tracking software you commissioned for Mrs. Harriman has been installed through online channels. The software is hidden in her phone's system drive, leaving no trace. Any unknown detection or monitoring signals will be blocked, with your private phone number as the only trusted contact. Jimmy also took a copy of the software package. We have to inform you since you funded the development."
Gabriel had only processed half of the company files. He took off his glasses and slowly wiped them with a cloth, then called Landon, "Does Jimmy know I had his people develop the software?"
Landon paused, "Yes, he knows."
Landon had recently gone to the Country M because of unresolved issues between Gabriel and Jimmy. When the financial case occurred, Gabriel was the one who funded the recovery efforts. The fugitive, who had been on the run for years, had tried to seek revenge several times secretly, causing trouble in the Country M recently. However, they couldn't come to the Country M due to the different security conditions compared to the Country M, so they could only cause trouble abroad.
When returning to the Country M, Gabriel had anticipated the direction of the Jenner family's current turmoil and had instructed Landon to quickly find former research department personnel to develop an anti-tracking software, which had already been put in use.
However, developing such a software was very costly, and the purpose was not for market profit but solely to hide it on Jessica's phone to protect her safety.
Gabriel wouldn't tell Jessica about this, and Landon naturally wouldn't leak it either.
Most of the people in the criminal investigation research institute were from Jimmy, so Jimmy would inevitably know the truth. He could use it too, and having the installation package in their hands was not a big deal.
But given Jimmy's nature, he might not directly tell Cynthia about this.
