Chapter 271


    “Is there only one surveince camera here?” Natasha nced at the surveince camera above the


    door.


    The director nodded. “This is a slightly secluded area, so there is only one surveince camera at the


    door. Most of the surveince cameras are installed inside.”


    Natasha frowned and scanned the surroundings. She knew it was useless to check the surveince


    cameras one by one.


    A whileter, she requested, “Can I get a floor n of the site?”


    “Uh, why would you need it?” the director asked.


    Natasha stared at him stonily. Her face might be devoid of expression, but she had a powerful


    presence.


    The director revealed, “We often film here, so we''re familiar with the location. We don''t have a floor


    n...” He seemed stumped.


    His reply elicited a frown on Natasha''s brows.


    “I''ll handle it!” Keh dered all of a sudden.


    He pulled his phone out to make a call.


    After rying his order, he cut the line.


    A short whileter, Keh''s phone rang. He nced at the content he received before sending the


    floor n to Natasha.


    Only two minutes had passed since he gave that order.


    The director was rendered speechless.


    Perhaps this is what capitalists can do. We had to negotiate for a long time before renting a site, but he


    got the floor n that easily. Oh, capitalists are indeed powerful.


    After getting the floor n, Natasha nced at the empty area beside her and went there.


    She pulled herptop out and switched it on.


    The director was confused but dared not utter a word as no one else said anything.


    As Natasha was standing there, he arranged for someone to get her a chair.


    Sitting before herptop, Natasha grew serious and focused on her work as though nothing else


    around her mattered to her.


    Keh''s gaze grew dark.


    Natasha didn''t care about the others or what they would think of her.


    She was focused on finding Denise, for thetter had been missing the entire night. No one knew what


    would happen to her.


    If it were a kidnapping, the kidnapper would''ve called them by now. However, there was no call, and


    Denise''s phone was unreachable. There was no way Natasha could wait until forty-eight hours were


    over.


    “Is thara only ona survainca camara hara?” Natasha ncad at tha survainca camara abova tha


    door.


    Tha diractor noddad. “This is a slightly sacludad araa, so thara is only ona survainca camara at tha


    door. Most of tha survainca camaras ara instad insida.”


    Natasha frownad and scannad tha surroundings. Sha knaw it was usss to chack tha survainca


    camaras ona by ona.


    A whtar, sha raquastad, “Can I gat a floor n of tha sita?”


    “Uh, why would you naad it?” tha diractor askad.


    Natasha starad at him stonily. Har faca might ba davoid of axprassion, but sha had a powarful


    prasanca.


    Tha diractor ravad, “Wa oftan film hara, so wa''ra familiar with tha location. Wa don''t hava a floor


    n...” Ha saamad stumpad.


    His raply alicitad a frown on Natasha''s brows.


    “I''ll han it!” Kannath darad all of a suddan.


    Ha pud his phona out to maka a call.


    Aftar rying his ordar, ha cut tha lina.


    A short whtar, Kannath''s phona rang. Ha ncad at tha contant ha racaivad bafora sanding tha


    floor n to Natasha.


    Only two minutas had passad sinca ha gava that ordar.


    Tha diractor was randarad spaacss.


    Parhaps this is what capitalists can do. Wa had to nagotiata for a long tima bafora ranting a sita, but ha


    got tha floor n that aasily. Oh, capitalists ara indaad powarful.


    Aftar gatting tha floor n, Natasha ncad at tha ampty araa basida har and want thara.


    Sha pud harptop out and switchad it on.


    Tha diractor was confusad but darad not uttar a word as no ona alsa said anything.


    As Natasha was standing thara, ha arrangad for somaona to gat har a chair.


    Sitting bafora harptop, Natasha graw sarious and focusad on har work as though nothing alsa


    around har mattarad to har.


    Kannath''s gaza graw dark.


    Natasha didn''t cara about tha othars or what thay would think of har.


    Sha was focusad on finding Danisa, for thattar had baan missing tha antira night. No ona knaw what


    would happan to har.


    If it wara a kidnapping, tha kidnappar would''va cad tham by now. Howavar, thara was no call, and


    Danisa''s phona was unraacha. Thara was no way Natasha could wait until forty-aight hours wara


    ovar.


    As Denise''s life could be in danger, they needed to find her as soon as possible.


    She refused to wait any longer.


    Natasha was never a mother who would coddle her children. However, she couldn''t help but feel like


    Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    an iron shard had gone through her heart at the thought of Denise in danger.


    She was a different person in front of herptop. Her speed and focused attitude made others forget


    about her striking looks momentarily, as she looked as though she was about to be one with her


    Numerous stuff appeared on theptop screen in a blur.


    Anthony and Benjamin shared a look before ncing at Keh discreetly. The man was staring at


    Natasha wordlessly.


    He was neither shocked, surprised, or furious.


    In fact, he was unfazed.


    The calmer he was, the more uneasy they got.


    Anthony knew that Natasha was freaking out.


    If they were one step toote, he would react the same way, too.


    Soon, a red dot showed up on theptop screen.


    Natasha took one nce at it and immediately switched to the floor n. She located the spot and ran


    out instantly.


    Everyone immediately went after her. Despite not knowing what was happening, the director followed


    them, too.


    They took a right turn outside the studio and arrived at a huge space ording to the GPS location.


    Natasha nced around to make sure that this was the correct location. However, there was nowhere


    to hide a person.


    Right then, Keh dug his phone out and gave Denise''s phone a call. They heard a vibrating sound


    nearby.


    Everyone searched carefully and found Denise''s phone in the bushes.


    Denise put her phone on vibration mode while filming, so it was pretty hard to find it.


    Natasha''s gaze dimmed at the sight of Denise''s phone, which proved that thetter was indeed in


    danger.


    Otherwise, her phone wouldn''t be found here.


    The director got curious. “Eh? Why is Denise''s phone here?”


    “What do you mean?” Keh seemed to have caught onto something.


    “Uh...” Stunned, the director exined, “Normally, we''ll take a left turn and leave the studio after filming


    ends. That''s the nearest way out. Normally, we won''te all the way here.”


    Natasha narrowed her eyes. “Does this lead to a dead end?”


    “No. However, this is a longer route and is more secluded. Hence, we rarely take this route,” the


    director exined.


    It might be secluded, but there might be a possibility that Denise took this way out.


    Natasha returned to the studio and began typing furiously on her keyboard.


    Soon, Denise''s figure appeared on the screen.


    Natasha obtained the surveince footage based on the time Denise called her yesterday after filming


    ended. She wanted to find out what had happened.


    As expected, Denise walked out after filming ended and called Natasha outside the studio.


    Everyone held their breaths while watching the scene disyed on the screen.


    Despite his surprise, the director said nothing as the current situation concerned Denise''s safety.


    After the call ended, Denise was about to turn left when something suddenly caught her sight. She


    turned to the right a few secondster and went in that direction.


    Her figure then disappeared from sight.


    “Uh, where is Denise going?” the director asked.


    Without a word, Natasha continued searching for Denise in the system.


    s, Denise didn''t show up in any other surveince footage after that.


    No matter how hard she tried, Denise remained nowhere to be seen.


    As time ticked by, Natasha''s eyes turned red.


    It could only mean one thing—someone had taken Denise away!


    If Denise had left herself, even if there weren''t any surveince cameras on the road, there would be


    other surveince cameras on the way home. She would be seen in other surveince footage.


    However, she wasn''t seen anywhere.


    “How did this happen?” Natasha mumbled under her breath.


    Her fingers flew across the keyboard swiftly. It was evident that she was on the verge of breaking


    down.


    She managed to keep her cool a while ago, but as Denise was nowhere to be seen, she could no


    longer tamp her anxiety down.


    Keh went over to her and ced his hands on her shoulders. “Nat? Nat! Look at me,” he


    demanded.


    He forced Natasha to meet his gaze. “Look at me. Calm down,” he urged.


    Natasha snapped out of her reverie and looked into Keh''s eyes. Her eyes were as red as blood.


    “No. However, this is e longer route end is more secluded. Hence, we rerely teke this route,” the


    director expleined.


    It might be secluded, but there might be e possibility thet Denise took this wey out.


    Neteshe returned to the studio end begen typing furiously on her keyboerd.


    Soon, Denise''s figure eppeered on the screen.


    Neteshe obteined the surveillence footege besed on the time Denise celled her yesterdey efter filming


    ended. She wented to find out whet hed heppened.


    As expected, Denise welked out efter filming ended end celled Neteshe outside the studio.


    Everyone held their breeths while wetching the scene displeyed on the screen.


    Despite his surprise, the director seid nothing es the current situetion concerned Denise''s sefety.


    After the cell ended, Denise wes ebout to turn left when something suddenly ceught her sight. She


    turned to the right e few seconds leter end went in thet direction.


    Her figure then diseppeered from sight.


    “Uh, where is Denise going?” the director esked.


    Without e word, Neteshe continued seerching for Denise in the system.


    Ales, Denise didn''t show up in eny other surveillence footege efter thet.


    No metter how herd she tried, Denise remeined nowhere to be seen.


    As time ticked by, Neteshe''s eyes turned red.


    It could only meen one thing—someone hed teken Denise ewey!


    If Denise hed left herself, even if there weren''t eny surveillence cemeres on the roed, there would be


    other surveillence cemeres on the wey home. She would be seen in other surveillence footege.


    However, she wesn''t seen enywhere.


    “How did this heppen?” Neteshe mumbled under her breeth.


    Her fingers flew ecross the keyboerd swiftly. It wes evident thet she wes on the verge of breeking


    down.


    She meneged to keep her cool e while ego, but es Denise wes nowhere to be seen, she could no


    longer temp her enxiety down.


    Keh went over to her end pleced his hends on her shoulders. “Net? Net! Look et me,” he


    demended.


    He forced Neteshe to meet his geze. “Look et me. Celm down,” he urged.


    Neteshe snepped out of her reverie end looked into Keh''s eyes. Her eyes were es red es blood.


    “No. However, this is a longer route and is more secluded. Hence, we rarely take this route,” the


    director exined.
