Adair doesn’t seem to know how much impact his words would have on Ryan. The boy doesn’t
understand, but Lily does. Although she doesn't know how much Eunice loves him, she is moved when
hearing it.
How selfless and humble must she be to make such a decision?
Lily met Eunice today, she didn't even have time to talk with her and Eunice saves Adair again without
wanting any reward.
No matter it's because that she loves Ryan or that she just cares about Adair, Lily appreciates that.
Thinking of which, she looks up at the stiff man in front of her and comforts him softly, "Don't worry, she
will be fine."
The man gently closes his eyes and opens them again. The shock in his eyes fades away, replaced by
burning determination.
He won't let anything happen to her. Absolutely not.
...
Rex is in the office helping the police get surveillance videos along the road. The kidnappers are very
cunning, but J City is the economic center, and its police are not to be underestimated. Soon, they
narrow down to two suspected vehicles.
According to the direction of the car, they decide that one of the cars is leaving with Eunice. After
setting the target, it is easier to track it down. The car finally stopped at a remote urban-rural junction. It
parted halfway down the mountain and there is no security video available. However, they are sure that
the kidnappers are not far away. They must be nearby.
"Mr. Rex, we still need some time to confirm the identity of the kidnapper..."
Before he could continue, the door to the office is pushed open. Ryan strides in coldly. He seems to be
grumpy and repressing his rage.
Rex looks over. Ryan quickly walks to the table and throws a small black chip onto the table. "These
are the people I've had trouble with recently. The kidnapper should be among them. Target the suspect
in half an hour, okay?"
Everyone hears what he says but no one replies.
No one has ever dared to be so arrogant in the police station to dictate them to finish something in a
given time.
More or less, they are uncomfortable with his attitude, but so what if they don't like it? He is helping
with the case, and they couldn't complain about that.
The team leader of the case takes the memory card and put it into his computer to read. One of them is
Wendell Wu, a British Chinese. He has been engaged in futures trading for a long time and is very
powerful in the local area. Half a year ago, he has a grudge against Ryan for a bottom-fishing
investment. It shows that Wendell has lost 10 billion that time.
But a person with such status shouldn't retaliate with such a flawed method. It wouldn't be worthwhile
to injure his enemy at such a great cost.
So the team leader focuses on the second person—
Dalton Farley, 43, from J City, divorced and unemployed. He used to be a contractor for building
materials. A year ago, he divorced his ex-wife, and his daughter's custody went to his ex-wife. Since
then, he stopped looking for a job. The data shows that he went to England six months ago with a
travel agency. But he was overstayed and sent home and was banned from entering the country for
life.
"Check this Dalton carefully and locate him as soon as possible." After reading the information, the
leader is confirmed that Dalton has something to do with the case and asks his subordinates to
investigate immediately.
"Mr. Ryan, this information is very useful for us. Thank you." He takes out the memory card and hands
it back to Ryan. "But I have a question. With your outstanding position, how could you have anything to
do with Dalton?"
Ryan takes the small card and frowns. He snaps it easily with his fingers and throws it into the trash
can without looking back. His actions are unnerving.
Looking up again, his emotionless eyes are frosty. Instead of answering the leader, he asks, "How's
your plan after finding Dalton?"
When he was young, he has dealt with the police a lot. He guesses he knows what they are going to do
next. So he says slowly, "Locate the target and position. Send out the team and surround the suspects.
Negotiation. If it doesn't work, storm them?"
The leader is surprised by his words. He could hear the contempt in the man's voice and is a little
angry. "Mr. Ryan, I can understand your concerns, but every time we make a plan, we will be very
cautious, so..."
"What if Eunice is next to Dalton and storming results in irreversible injury to her?" Ryan moves his thin
lips, and every single word he says is as cold as ice.
He doesn't care about the lives of Dalton and his accomplices. He only cares about Eunice.
The air in the office is a little tense. Rex looks up from the screen and is about to say something to
persuade Ryan when he suddenly hears him say, "I remember that Dalton has a daughter who is in
junior high school?"
...
The police are fast, and Dalton has no clue at all. More than two hours have passed since they
kidnapped Eunice. They are completely unaware of the police's movements and are anxiously waiting
for Ryan to contact them.
Eunice has been locked up in that small room. They didn't do anything to her. They locked her up and
didn't give her any water or food.
"Is that woman alright? Why is she so quiet? She's not going to have a seizure and die in there, is
she?" Seeing that it is getting dark, one of them starts to worry.
That woman is too quiet. It's as if she were not there.
Dalton sneers, "She won't die. Her desire to survive is much stronger than you could imagine."
"But she..." The man looks to be in his early twenties. He raises his hand to scratch the back of his
head, feeling a little uneasy. "How could she be so quiet?"
To be honest, he is just hired by Dalton to do the 'job'. He is only in charge of guarding the woman
inside and doesn't want anyone to die. He doesn't want to be a murderer. That would be awful.
"Dalton, why don't we take a look?"
Seemingly annoyed by his urging, Dalton gets up from his chair and curses something angrily as he
walks towards the cement room behind him.
They are at the back of a mountain, which is five or six kilometers from the nearest village. There is not
a single soul but this thatched cottage. Behind the cottage is a shed. It was originally a pigsty, and he
has changed it into a cement room.
And Eunice is imprisoned inside.
To prevent her from escaping or seeing the light outside, Dalton built two walls. He strides over and
pulls open the door. After a few steps, they meet the other door. Only when the second door is opened
do they see the woman curling on the ground.
Dalton gloats at her fragile look. He kicks her on the back with his toes and shouts in a rough voice,
"Get up!"
