Chapter 1616
A young police officer was puzzled. “He simply mistook your employee for you. What is the problem
here?”
People often would not pay much attention to the appearance of strangers, and the young police officer
found it perfectly normal.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
The shop owner said, “I lent him a lighter too when he asked me about the price, and we chatted for a bit
before he left. My employee is a young man in his early twenties. Even if he has a bad memory, do you
think it’s possible that he would confuse a young person with an old man like me? We look nothing alike,
except for our work uniforms. My employee even told him that I was the one he talked to, but he didn’t
seem to believe it. He stared at me for some time before reluctantly letting it slide.”
The police officer then said, “There’s probably something wrong with his brain, not his eyes.”
The shop owner continued, “It’s pretty strange. It seems like he has trouble telling strangers apart. But I
only talked to him for a short while, so I can’t be toosure.”
The police officer took note of what the shop owner said, and the ambnce took the store owner away.
Due to the kidnappers being alerted, when the police searched an abandoned factory nearby, they were
nowhere to be found.
At that time, the police received updates that Keegan Kane of Vinci Rivera had been kidnapped outside
hispany. The white van and its car te number that were spotted matched the one that made a
stop at the shop earlier. So, the police immediately deployed more units and expanded the search area.
Meanwhile, Marshall had just parted ways with the girl that his mother had arranged a blind date with. He
instinctively checked his phone after getting into the car and noticed several missed calls from Vermont.
He was about to call him back when he saw a locationsharing notification from Ste.
He paused briefly and decided to return Vermont’s calls first.
As soon as the call was connected, Vermont hurriedly said,” Finally, you answered! Keegan and Ste
were kidnapped. We just received an update from the police, saying that they found traces of the
kidnappers around Pantheon Belt Road. The police have limited manpower. Can you get some help, so
we can search for them together?”
“Kidnapped?” Marshall frowned. “Are you sure? Ste just shared me her location not long ago.”
Vermont immediately said, “The police received their call, and she can even send you her location. It
looks like they still have a phone with them! Quick, check where they are!”
Marshall tapped on the message and realized that it was still updating their current location. Then, he
quickly headed to the police station.
The police finally had a direction to follow after looking at Marshall’s phone.
Everyone hoped that they would be found, but when the police cars caught up to the location, the phone
was on a truck transporting poultry.
The truck driver was questioned, and he had no idea how the phone ended up in his truck.
The police officers spected that the kidnappers had probably found out about the phone and realized
that it was exposing their location. So, they threw the phone onto a truck, attempting to mislead the
police.
The fact that the phone was discovered, coupled with the brutality disyed by the kidnappers at the
store, heightened everyone’s concern.
“Crack-” The bamboo stick struck Keegan’s back and split into several pieces.
“Ha! ying games with me, huh?” the man who attacked Marshall cursed, as he continued to hit
Keegan.
The wound on Keegan’s head reopened. His mouth was now sealed with tape and his jacket was tossed
aside. The threads of blood on his back could be clearly seen through the shirt he was wearing.
However, he showed no sign ofpromising. Everytime he was knocked down, he struggled to stand
back up.
The more unyielding he was, the more it fueled the man’s sadistic desires. He began hitting Keegan
harder and harder. Even the thick bamboo stick he used to hit Keegan with was on the verge of breaking.
Ste’s mouth was taped as well, and she was forced to watch Keegan being tortured.
