Chapter 423
In the hotel, just as Natasha was going to leave after checking out, the staff member went up to her
and stopped her from leaving after much hesitation.
“Please wait for a moment, miss!” he called out in Ustranian.
Natasha regarded him with a frown. “Is something the matter?”
“I''d like to ask whether you''re Natasha from Chanaea,” the staff member ventured.
There must be a reason he knows my name and country of origin so clearly.
Recalling the search conducted at the hotel a few days ago, Natasha fibbed, “I''m from Chanaea, but
my name isn''t Natasha!”
The staff member scrutinized her, his brows scrunching together. Could it be that I''m mistaken?
Clocking his skepticism, Natasha held her passport, which she happened to be holding in hand, out to
him. “My name is Sally.”
When the staff member saw the name indicated on the passport, he uttered, “I''m sorry. In that case, I
probably got the wrong person.”
“It''s okay!” Natasha prepared to leave.
However, the staff member continued staring at her. “A few men came looking for someone a few days
ago. The person in the photo looks exactly like you.”
Natasha merely stilled for a second. She said nothing and left straight away.
A frown marred the countenance of the staff member as he eyeballed her back.
Could it be that I''ve really gotten the wrong person?
As he was dwelling upon it, two figures rushed in. They evidently recognized him, for they headed
directly for him.
“You were the one who called and said the person we''re looking for is still here?” Dave demanded.
At the sight of them, the staff member promptly admitted, “Yes, it was me.”
“Where is she?”
The staff member turned hesitant. “Well... I think I might have possibly gotten the wrong person.”
Dave''s eyes narrowed into slits. “What do you mean by that?”
“She checked out just now, so I stopped her and asked whether she was from Chanaea. She said yes,
but the name she provided differed from the one you gave me. As such, I probably got the wrong
person,” the staff member elucidated.
Frowning, Dave turned to Keh andmented helplessly, “In the eyes of these foreigners, we all
look the same.”
“What was that person''s name?” Keh inquired, his eyes fixated on the staff member.
“It was S-Sally?” the staff member faltered.
Sally?
At once, Keh was stumped.
He still remembered the first time he spotted Natasha at the office. At that time, he found her familiar
and asked for her name. In response, she told him her name was Sally.
His gaze instantly turned sharp and piercing. “Where did she go?”
The staff member was taken aback. I''ve already told them that I probably got the wrong person, but
surprisingly, he''s still asking.
“She has already checked out and left. In fact, it was just mere moments ago.”
“Which direction did she go?”
The staff member pondered for a moment before pointing to the right. “She got into a car at the
entrance, and it went straight.”
“Dave, I''ll go and give chase while you help me check the surveince footage. I want to know which
car it was!” Keh ordered. Then, he whirled around and sprinted off.
Dave didn''t ask any questions either. He turned to the staff member instead. “Please bring me to the
surveince room.”
Seeing that, the staff member didn''t dare voice his questions. With a dip of his head, he led the man to
the surveince room.
Through the surveince footage, Dave saw Natasha''s image, as expected. Just like when he saw her
at the rooftop restaurant that day, her outstanding aura was definitely unforgettable despite the different
attire.
She got into a car at the hotel entrance. After making out the license te, Dave phoned Keh
straight away. “I''ve sent the license te to you. I''ll have Miguel track it as well.”
“Got it.”
Dave deliberated for a moment before stating, “I''ve looked at the surveince footage, and it was
indeed her!”
“I know!” Keh replied, seemingly without the slightest hesitation.
Dave had no idea how the man could determine that it was Natasha through a name. Perhaps that''s
something only the two of them know.
“Be careful!” Dave reminded.
Subsequently, he hung up the phone.
At that moment, the staff member at the side asked, “Is she the person you''re looking for?”
Dave nodded. “Yes.”
Puzzled, the staff member queried, “Then, why did she deny it? I told her that someone was looking for
her.”
Dave didn''t know the answer to that either. He looked back over his shoulder at the man. “Please make
a copy of this surveince footage and send it to me. Then, erase it.”
Aware that he was either rich or influential, the staff member bobbed his head. “Sure.”
Outside, Keh sped along the road.
He drove aimlessly, searching for the car in question.
s, he still didn''t find it after searching for a long time.
Just when he was about to phone Dave, he suddenly glimpsed the car at the side of the road.
Immediately, his eyes gleamed with excitement. He promptly elerated and sped over, forcing the car
to a screeching stop.
Jumping in fright, the driver wound down the window to tear into him. But just then, Keh climbed
out of the car ahead and rushed over.
“What are you doing? Do you even know how to drive?” the drivermbasted.
Keh leaned close to the car, frowning when he noticed that the back of the car was empty.
“What exactly are you trying to do?” the driver demanded.
Keh swung his gaze at him and interrogated, “Where''s the passenger in your car just now, a
woman of Chanaean descent?”
“Why should I tell you? And don''t you know how to drive?”
With a re from Keh, the driver sensed a murderous aura sweeping over him. He spaced out for
a long while.
“I''ll only repeat my question once—where is she?” Keh enunciated.
“S-She got off!” the driver stammered.
“Where?”
“At the previous intersection!” the driver answered, giving him the specific location.
After obtaining the location, Keh instantly got back into the car and sped over.
The driver was entirely floored by the turn of events. Ranting and raving, he then drove off.
Following the location given by the driver, Keh went to the intersection where Natasha had gotten
off.
Having stopped the car, he looked around. At that exact moment, his phone rang.
Glimpsing the phone number, he took the call. “Dave.”
“A little over twenty minutes ago, she alighted from the car at the intersection you''re currently at and
went into the alley in the south,” Dave reported.
Upon hearing that, Keh leveled his gaze in that direction and started heading there.

“Then?”
“Did you walk back?”
“Yeah.”
Keh''s brows furrowed after he had stepped into the alley. While it appeared like an alley, there
were still three roads within.
“She took the road in the middle.”
Ascertaining the direction, Keh started walking further in.
“Those are the only few surveince cameras on this road, but I''ve checked, and the scope isn''trge.
If you''re lucky, you can probably find her.”
“Got it!”
“I''ll help you keep an eye on the surroundings. I''ll notify you at once if there''s any news!” Dave vowed
on the other end of the phone.
“Okay!” Having said that, Keh continued heading forward. He nced around while walking,
searching for Natasha''s figure.
But for some inexplicable reason, he couldn''t shake off a sense of familiarity as he observed the
surroundings and road signs.
“Is there anything special about this ce, Dave?” Keh inquired.
“Why do you ask?”
“I find it somewhat familiar,” Keh admitted.
“Familiar?”
A momentter, Dave murmured into the phone again, “Your memory is really impressive, J. Your
woman took this road after leaving the rooftop restaurant that night, back when she erased the
surveince footage along the way. It was Miguel who looked into it.”
Narrowing his eyes, Keh scrutinized his surroundings.
No wonder I feel as though I''ve seen these road signs somewhere. But why did Natashae here?
She came here once previously, and she did so again...
