Nelly  tiptoed to the door and looked outside through the peephole. A hotel staff was standing outside, knocking on the door relentlessly.


    Seeing that it was a hotel staff, Nelly  was about to open the door. However, when she put her hand on the door handle, she paused.


    If he really is a hotel staff, he won’t keep looking around and knocking on the door anxiously. Just as Nelly  was pondering what she should do, a voice sounded outside.


    “The person may not be in the room now,” said the hotel staff. “Then do you know who’s staying here?”


    “I don’t know. All I know is that she’s a pretty woman!”


    Listening to the conversation outside, Nelly  knew that they must be looking for someone, and they were probably looking for her.


    After thinking for a moment, Nelly  returned to herptop and sat down. Her fingers flew on the keyboard as she wore a frosty, mysterious expression.


    Just as the door was about to be opened, Nelly  tapped lightly on the keyboard with her finger and looked in the direction of the door.


    Two secondster, the fire rm sounded in the corridor outside the door. It was at that moment that everything went silent outside.


    Subsequently, it became chaotic. People were shouting, running, and calling for help, while whoever was at her door stopped whatever they were doing.


    After a while, when Nelly  heard that it was finally quiet outside, she walked to the door. She looked through the peephole and was relieved to see that the coast was clear.


    Nelly  attached the safety lock again after checking the door and making sure that it wasn’t unlocked.


    She didn’t know who came, but her intuition told her that those people wereing for her. Apart from Boss’ men, I can’t think of anyone else.


    Thinking of that, Nelly  turned around, took a ck backpack out of the cab, closed herptop, and stuffed it directly into the bag. She then packed her things swiftly. After scanning the room and making sure she didn’t leave anything behind, she got up and walked outside.


    In such a dangerous ce, Nelly  knew that it was best not to get into a fight unless absolutely necessary.


    She was unaware of the visitors’ identity and their motives, but her n would definitely get affected if she took action.


    To Nelly , the most important thing was to find out the truth about her father, and she didn’t care about what methods she would use.


    She wanted to find out the truth and go back alive. For Grandpa, for Tony , and… for myself!Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    With that thought in mind, Nelly  put on a cap and a mask before walking out with a determined look on her face.


    Meanwhile, Tony  stared at theputer screen and realized that Nelly  was gone.


    “Nelly ? Nelly ? Are you mad, Nelly ? I won’t leave even if you’re mad, Nelly . I will never leave you here alone.”


    s, no matter what Tony  said, he received no response from the other side. Momentster, Nelly  went offline.


    Tony  furrowed his brows. He continued typing on theputer to try and track Nelly ‘s location. However, he was running out of time, and Nelly  even set up an anti-tracking setting. There was no time for Tony  to crack it, so he couldn’t locate her whereabouts.


    That made Tony  m his fist on the table angrily.


    He then stared at theputer screen and typed a sentence that read: Nelly , I don’t care what you think. I will never leave if I don’t see you!


    Then, he tapped the keyboard and sent the message.


    That was probably the first time that Tony  ever “disobeyed” Nelly . Even if he knew that Nelly  would be angry, he wasn’t afraid.


    He would never let Nelly  face it alone no matter what.


    Besides, Nelly  contacted me today, so she will definitely reach out to me again! Determined, Tony  sat in front of theputer persistently, staring at Nelly ‘s avatar. At that moment, Ben  and Thalia returned with some food.


    “Have some food, Tony!”


    “Okay,” Tony  responded shiftlessly while keeping his eyes glued on theputer screen, for fear of missing Nelly ‘s appearance.


    After putting the food on the desk, Ben  looked at Tony  and asked, “What’s the matter? Are you angry?”


    “Nelly -” Tony  paused as he nced at Thalia, who was standing aside. His eyes glinted and he changed his way of expression. “Nelly  called me just now.”


    Ben  asked, “And then? Where is she?”


    “I don’t know. She didn’t tell me, but she knows that we’re here. She’s very angry and she wants us to go back!”


    Ben  furrowed his eyebrows. Looking at Tony ‘s expression, he suddenly understood something. “And then?”


    “She hung up after speaking, and she didn’t even give me a chance to say anything,” said Tony .


    Tony  and Ben  were taken aback by her question.


    When Tony  was thinking about what to say, Thalia’s eyes were fixated on them.


    “The two of you know Shadow Seeker and are very close with her, right?” Thalia asked. “Why do you ask?” said Tony .


    “Why do you think I asked? As we all know, Shadow Seeker never sticks her nose into the business of


    others. Besides, based on the message she sent me, she seems to be worried about the two of you, so you must know each other very well.”


    Um…


    Tony  never thought that Nelly  would send a message to Thalia.


    Looks like Nelly  is really anxious, but fortunately, at least it means that she is all right now. Tony  secretly let out a sigh of relief.


    However, as he looked at Thalia’s displeased face, his mind began spinning rapidly, trying toe up with a usible exnation.


    When he finally thought of something, he said calmly, “Yeah, I know her. Why? Don’t you know that?”


    “How would I know if you didn’t tell me?” Thalia’s brows snapped together, and she raised her voice. “You clearly know that my mission this time is to find her, and yet you’re still messing around? How many times have you promised me that you will no longer hide secrets from me and lie to me? Yet you still do it!”


    Seeing Thalia’s anxious expression, Tony  quickly tried tofort her, “Calm down first!” “How am I going to calm down?”


    Tony  sighed and exined slowly, “Everyone knows that I know her. Besides, just because I know her doesn’t mean I know where she is!”


    “You’re still fooling around with me!”


    “I’m telling the truth. Besides, Sam  knows her too, so why aren’t you mad at him?” asked Tony . “I-”


    “Sam  was the one who introduced her to mest time. Why don’t you know about this? You even called me that night!” said Tony , shirking the responsibility.
