Chapter 192


    Another person could definitely contribute more. Harry called Jordan to tell him about what happened.


    Jordan immediately sent out for the army to search the city and then reported the events that had


    happened to his father.


    So far, they had just found out that L had been gone missing for almost20 hours already!


    The second daughter of the Newman family had suddenly disappeared, and arge number of police


    and military personnel were dispatched to search for her, instantly causingmotion and controversy


    in Ascea.


    In the government of Ascea.


    In the entire five-storey government courtyard, there was no dust. The president''s office in the office


    building was austere and discreet.


    Thomas, who had been impeached by senior officials recently due to the various rumors that ran


    around regarding his rtionship with L, was now busy handling his official duties. His chauffeur


    came in and said: "Mr. President, there is a matter that I don''t know whether I should report it to you or


    not."


    As the chauffeur knew that the rtionship between Thomas and L was special, he felt that it was


    his duty that he should tell him the truth when he heard about this matter.


    "What''s up?" Thomas nced at his chauffeur, who seldom spoke in this manner.


    The chauffeur told Thomas the news he had just heard of. "Mr. President, Miss Newman has been


    missing now for nearly a day and a night. The CEO of the SL Group is using all his power and influence


    to look for her, and Lieutenant Harold and Colonel Jordan has also dispatched their own army to


    conduct a thorough search operation."


    Thomas stopped smiling and put the documents that he was handling down. Was she really missing?


    "What kind of police did Harry dispatch?" He asked in detail as he didn''t want to repeat or stay on


    repeat.


    The driver soon recalled: "Hundreds of armed police and special police officers from the General Public


    Security Department of Ascea have been searching now for five hours but with no luck yet. It also was


    said that Miss Newman''s daughter also disappeared this morning. The entire Newman family was in


    total disarray. Harry once again made arrangements for two other International Criminal Police


    Investigation Teams from the United Nations, and also an Anti-Terrorist and Ballistics Task Force


    Teams to be on standby. "


    Harry was so powerful that he could have evenpeted with the President himself in power and


    influence! Even the UN International Criminal Police team, which could not be mobilized at any time not


    even by the President, was now easily moved by him!


    Was this man going to overturn Ascea just for a mother and daughter?


    "Since he has already dispatched so many police forces, I will personally go to the Newman family and


    speak with them!" Thomas stood up. He was so busy these days that he did not have the time anymore


    to visit her. How did this happen?


    The chauffeur quickly stopped Thomas. "Mr. President, this is not right at all! The senior government


    officials are trying to impeach you. You should certainly avoid such matters at all costs at the moment!"


    Had it not been for his strong family background, Thomas would have already been impeached and


    stripped of his position by those people.


    Thomas now rubbed his painful temples. He didn''t care about his position and had no attachments to it


    whatsoever. However, both of his grandparents had done a lot for him and had gone at great lengths to


    get him in this position, and now, as it was expected, he was definitely not allowed to give it just away!


    "Inform me immediately as soon as the smallest progresses are made!" And now he had just to wait.


    The chauffeur nodded and got out of the office.


    Sitting on his chair, Thomas closed his eyes.


    He was so busy every day that he did not have time to think about her. "L, be safe!" he thought.


    In the dark basement.


    L slept for a long time and eventually woke up in a dark chamber.


    Slowly opening her eyes, she found herself tied tightly by the arms and legs by a very thick rope. There


    was only a very small light bulb with a very low dim light over her head.


    There was a pungent musty smell in the air and there were no windows. Where was she? Or better yet,


    why was she here?


    She gathered all her strength to sit up and saw a small silhouette, which was also tied and thrown to


    the ground, not that far from her.


    In the pink dress with which L was more than familiar with was dressed her daughter. "Nicole!" L,


    who earlier was calm, was now desperately trying to reach out for her daughter.


    As she was tied and could not stand up, she had to crawl on the floor on her knees to get to her.


    "Nicole, Nicole... " She gently called her twice. "Nicole, mommy''s baby, wake up soon." Her daughter


    seemed to be sleeping strange, something that made L''s voice shake a bit.


    Sheid her back to the ground again, in parallel with her daughter.


    Nicole had her eyelids shut tight. There wasn''t a single sign that she would wake up soon, and this


    terrified L.


    "Nicole, my baby! Wake up!" begged L. She caressed her daughter''s little face with her own, but


    Nicole still didn''t move.


    L, by now, got more and more anxious. What could she do?


    By this time, the people outside the chamber she and her daughter were held captive in, heard the


    noise inside she was making and opened the door.


    A bright white light shone on L''s face, which forced her to close her eyes.


    Around her she saw that there were some very old pieces of furniture. The men standing in the


    doorway were wearing ck hoods and tattered clothes, with only their eyes and lips showing out.


    "Who are you, what do you want to do to us?" asked L. She regained her wits and with difficulty


    started standing up on her legs.


    One of the men stared at her with cold eyes. "Stay there and be quiet. We won''t harm you. Someone


    will give you something to eatter." His voice sounded very rough and dumb, and it seemed more like


    he was trying to change the sound of his voice.


    L quickly nodded, "I am willing to cooperate with you. Please, first untie my daughter. She is just a


    child!" She tried to barter with the men with calm.


    The men nced at one another, and the hooded man walked in and began to untie the ropes on


    Nicole.


    As the man approached her, L smelled the fishy stink of his clothes and body. She tried to ovee


    the disgust this foul odor gave her by sniffing air out of her nose more often. This smell reminded her of


    the fishermen at the seaside.


    Outside the chamber they were held captive in, there was just another empty room, with one table and


    a few chairs around it, she couldn''t tell anything of her surroundings yet, of where she was.


    "What happened to my daughter? What is your purpose in all of this?" she cried.


    Seeing that the man untied the ropes for Nicole, L got closer to her.


    The man with the hood looked at her and said: "We are only acting on what we are ordered to do. She


    will soon wake up. As for the purpose of all of this, we do not know!"


    After saying these words, he threw the ropes that bounded Nicole aside, and again closed the door.


    The room was now dark again.


    "Nicole, don''t sleep, please wake up soon!" Their masked kidnappers must have drugged L''s


    daughter, otherwise she wouldn''t have slept so abnormally deep.


    What monsters would do this sort of thing to a three year old child?!


    Who the hell did this? Could it have been Ynda? At present time, she was the number one suspect.


    But the man said just now that they wouldn''t harm her and someone would bring them food soon


    enough.


    If Ynda kidnapped them, wouldn''t she have harmed them?


    This ruled out Ynda. Then who could have done this to them? She was clueless.


    Why did they kidnap the both of them?


    The family must be now in a total mess and discord. Ah! She let her family worry about her again!


    In the Newman family.


    Landon was walking around restlessly in the living room. Although he had been through a lot, his face


    was still filled with that specific feeling of anxiety that you often end up in during moments like this.


    It had been more than a day and a night, and they still had no news about his daughter and


    granddaughter.


    Angie, who was always standing by his side with a pale face, was also unable to sit down.


    Next to her, Evelyn shed heavy tears. She med herself for not taking good care of Nicole Those


    people had also drugged her, and that was how they had managed to take Nicole away.


    The door of the vi was left opened, and Joseph rushed in the room like a gust of wind. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
