The sky started turning brighter as the feelings of unease grew in everyone’s hearts.
A huge truck loaded with cash drove into a quiet, secluded district. An abandoned warehouse with overgrown weeds stood right there. There was no one around or walking by. This district had been abandoned a long time ago.
The entire scene was captured on a huge screen. Christopher and Sebastian stood before the screen, staring at the image on it.
The images from the screen came from the most advanced manless military vehicle.
Christopher didn’t call the police, but he called for the military’s help. They dispatched a manless vehicle in search of Rosalie.
A middle-aged man dressed in military garb stood next to Christopher. He pointed at the screen, and said, “Ms. Young can’t be found anywhere in the surroundings. In fact, no one can be found.
Please expand the search area, Christopher said.
General Wagner nodded. Sure, no problem
There was nothing Christopher could do at this point except for passively waiting for the abductor to call again. They were still too sly and cunning.
Finally, the phone rang again. Christopher immediately picked up his phone, and all the monitoring officers nodded at him.
Christopher answered the call. Hello.
The abductor said, Is the cash ready?
Yes, it is. The cash has been transported to the location you indicated. Where is my niece? Take her out and hand her over.
Hahaha… The abductor suddenly chuckled.
What are you laughing at? Where’s my niece?
Don’t worry. She’s going great, but you’ve got to put the money somewhere else. The location I sent you previously is invalid.
What did you say? Invalid? Christopher said coldly. Are you playing me for a fool?
Yeah, I am, Did you really think I’m dumb? What if you bring the police if I told you the actual location? Of course I had to test out whether you would listen to my instructions.”
I didn’t call the police, Christopher said. If you don’t believe me, you can check the address you gave me previously. You’ll only find a truck loaded with cash. Do you want the money or not?
Of course I do. But I treasure my safety. I’ll send you another address. Drive the truck over there and I repeat, do not call the police. How can I know that you’re not fooling me again? Christopher asked.
What can you do even if I really am? the abductor said arrogantly. Rosalie Young is in my hands. Don’t you dare try anything funny. Since she’s in your hands, how could we do anything funny?
Then do as I say and drive the truck somewhere else. I can give you a glimpse of your niece.
The abductor sent him a photo of Rosalie being tied up. Her hair was in a mess, and she was curled up in a corner.
Sebastian clenched his fists upon seeing the woman in the photo. A murderous look flashed past his eyes.
No problem, Christopher said. Give me the address. I know you’re doing this just to be safe. I’ll do as you say, and prove that I didn’t call the police.
There was no point arguing with the
abductor They weren’t proper
negotiators, and were just a bunch of outlaws who didn’t care about rules. Christopher and Sebastian had no choice but to do as he said.
The abductor gave him a new address. After Christopher took it down, the abductor hung up immediately.
Christopher turned around, and patted Sebastian’s back gently. She’ll be fine.
