Chapter 404


    Soon, they arrived at the operations department.


    Shane pushed open the door and tossed his phone at one of the employees. “Trace thest-known


    location of this number right now!”


    “Right away, sir!” The employee got to work immediately.


    Next, he turned towards Ss and ordered, “I need you to call Mr. Horner of the Design Association and


    tell him that something''s cropped up at Natalie''s end, so she can''t make it to the courthouse. Get him to


    postpone the trial hearing. And I want someone to bring Harrison here this instant!” Shane''s eyes


    narrowed dangerously, his voice as chilling as the harsh winter snow.


    Since Harrison sent someone after Natalie, I''m going to teach him a lesson.


    “Understood. I''m on it.” Ss nodded his head seriously as he carried out Shane''s orders.


    Ss had barely left the room when the employee tasked with tracing Natalie''s callpleted Shane''s


    request. He pointed at theputer screen as he said, “Mr. Shane, I''ve traced the call to this location.”

    Shane lowered his gaze to look at the screen and realized it was Natalie''s apartment. Gritting his teeth,


    he said, “Continue tracing the phone. I want you to gather all the security footage of the apartment and


    its vicinity.”


    “Yes, sir.” The employee nodded and began typing furiously on his keyboard.


    About ten minutester, he''d gathered all the relevant security footage.


    Shane saw Natalie being chased by a few men soon after she''d left her apartment building. The chase


    had ended at a wall between Natalie''s apartment and a neighboring apartment. She was carried away


    by the men shortly after.


    “Mr. Shane, based on where the van is headed, as well as the roads ahead, it seems like they''re trying


    to leave the city.”


    “Can you track the van?” Shane tightened his grip on the back of the employee''s chair.


    The employee nodded. “It''s possible, but we''ll need to use satellite data if we want to track the van in


    real-time. I don''t have the clearance to ess it; once I hack into the system, the higher-ups will find


    out as well,” said the employee pointedly.


    Shane was aware of the consequences, but he couldn''t care less. Natalie''s safety was at the top of his


    mind. He wanted to save her as soon as possible.


    If only I hadn''t dismissed Natalie''s bodyguard after Alice was caught... She might be safe now if I''d kept


    the bodyguard on her.


    These thoughts strengthened his resolve as Shane picked up his phone and ordered sternly, “No


    problem. Just hack the satellite, and I''ll handle the higher-ups. Send me the real-time location of the


    van after you get the data.”


    “Alright.” The employee carried out his orders without further hesitation.


    Shane left the department, calling someone on his phone as he walked to his car. “Mr. Gunn, it''s me. I''d


    like to ask for a favor.”


    Shane exined his request to the person on the other end of the phone.


    The person seemed to agree to his request, and Shane hung up after expressing his gratitude.


    Keeping his cell phone, he entered his car.


    As he wore his seat belt, his phone blinked with a notification. A map appeared on the screen, and he


    could see a blinking red dot moving across it.


    Shane instinctively knew that the red dot was the van carrying Natalie.


    Determinedly, Shane started his car and began his pursuit of the van. Following the map, he''d just


    driven down two roads when a few SWAT vehicles trailed behind his car. These were the


    reinforcements he''d asked Mr. Gunn to arrange for him.


    At the same time, one of the thugs in the van ended a call with a distraught expression on his face. He


    addressed the driver, “Boss, something''s up. He said someone''sing to save that woman, and he''s


    almost caught up to us! Plus, the dude''s got carloads of SWAT officers with him!”


    “What? SWAT officers?” The other thugs who were watching Natalie in the back of the van were


    stunned.


    Natalie''s eyes shone with hope. She let out a few emotional sobs despite the tape covering her mouth.


    Shane must being to save me!
