Chapter 407


    He recalled feeling something amiss about the boys'' behaviors, but he was too preupied with


    Natasha''s matter, so he did not dwell much on them.


    Now that he thought about it, it was not strange for them to follow him here.


    Nevertheless, to make sure he would not wrongfully use them, Keh called Liam.


    “Grandpa.”


    “Oh? Did you just remember you have a grandpa?” Liam sarcastically said the moment he picked


    up the phone.


    “I''ve been busy, Grandpa.”


    “Yes, yes. You''re so busy, and I''m so free,” Liam continued.


    Keh pursed his lips at that. Knowing that Liam''s words were born out of anger, he changed the


    topic and asked, “How are you feeling?”


    “Great, since you''re not here to make me mad!”


    Keh was rendered speechless.


    Liam knew when to stop with the sarcasm, so he stated, “Go on. Why did you call me?”


    “Nothing. I just wanted to ask how you''re doing.”


    “Are the pigs flying now? I''m surprised you''re actually concerned about my health!”


    Keh was used to his grandfather''s tone, so he ignored it and went straight to the topic. “By the


    way, where are the kids? Have they been good at home?” he asked.


    Liam gloomily muttered, “Denise went to join the film crew, and the boys followed Thalia out to have


    fun. They haven''t been back for days. Once Nat''s away on a business trip, you''ve all run away, too.


    You left me and Terence—two lonely elderly men—at home.” Just then, someone else chimed in, “It


    seems like a woman is really needed at home, or else no one can keep a rein on you all.”


    Keh furrowed his brows upon hearing the other voiceing from the other end of the line.


    “Are you ying chess with Old Mr. Watson?”


    “Yes...” Liam muttered distractedly. Then, he grumbled, “Terence, can''t you do a normal move!”


    “It''s none of your business!”


    “Fine. In that case, you can''t me me for resorting to tricks. I''ll move here!”


    Hearing the busy voices, Keh remarked, “Continue with your chess match with Old Mr. Watson,


    then. I have something else to do now, so I''ll call you another time.”


    “Bye,” Liam uttered.


    Once the call ended, Keh furrowed his brows again.


    The two boys had asked if they could tag along when he departed the other day. Now, it seemed


    like his answer was irrelevant—regardless of whether he said yes or no, the boys were going to


    come.


    At the end of the day, he was to me for underestimating them.


    Right. They can even join Darz. These things are nothing inparison.


    At that, Keh''s gaze darkened. Since they''re lying to me, I guess I''ll have to deal with the


    problem from its roots.


    After keeping his phone, Keh turned and walked back.


    Dave nced at him and asked, “What''s the matter? Did something happen?”


    Keh mulled over it for a while before answering, “How''s your rtionship with Darz


    recently?”


    “Darz?” Dave snorted when he heard that name. “What else? Everything''s fine if we don''t


    encounter each other, but if we do, we end up fighting.”


    Keh remained calm, for he had expected that answer from Dave.


    Nevertheless, he still could not help but feel a little worried when he thought about Anthony''s


    rtionship with Darz.


    I wonder what Darz will do when they find out about Anthony''s rtionship with me.


    Upon hearing silence from Keh, Dave narrowed his eyes. “What''s the matter? Why are you


    suddenly asking about this?”


    “Nothing. I''m just asking,” Keh replied.


    “Just asking?” Dave studied him. “Are you someone who will just ask random questions? There


    must be a reason for this. God knows what you''re up to this time,” Dave teased. He knew Keh


    quite well, after all.


    Keh only gave him a smile in response.


    Dave did not insist on an answer, either. They were adults, and adults knew when to not push their


    luck. If Keh was not going to say anything, then Dave was not going to keep asking.


    Right then, Miguel muttered, “I''ve filtered through the surveince footage along the road, but I lost


    track after reaching this junction.”


    Hearing him, Keh walked over.


    “Mr. Hamilton, is the person you''re looking for aputer expert? Or could it be that they have a


    computer expert helping them out?” Miguel abruptly asked.


    Keh froze for a moment before asking in deliberate nonchnce, “Why would you say that?”


    “To ess the footage, I needed to connect to these centralworks, but it seems that the other


    person did this with ease.”


    Dave whipped his head over to look at Keh.


    “She''s only a normal programmer.”


    “Then...”


    Right then, Keh pointed at the upper part of theputer screen. “Are you talking about this?”


    Miguel''s attention was instantly distracted as he nced at the screen and nodded. “Yes. There are


    several seconds of gaps in each footage, but there isn''t a gap at this junction. I tried to filter through


    these two sides, but coincidentally, the surveince cameras are undergoing an upgrade, so they''ve


    been temporarily switched off. I won''t be able to follow this lead.”


    “That coincidental?” Keh wondered out loud.


    “I heard that the area was getting an upgrade, so this shouldn''t be intentional,” Miguel replied.


    Keh fell silent as he ruminated on their findings. “What''s in this area?”


    “Upscale hotels.”


    “Hotels?”


    “Yes.”


    “Hotels should have surveince cameras. Will you be able to connect to the inte of these


    hotels?” Keh queried.


    “I... I can, but I''ll need a little time,” Miguel answered.


    “I''ll be waiting for your good news.”


    Miguel nodded.


    Just then, Dave leaned over and glimpsed at the few marked hotels. “I''ve already sent men tob


    the area, but we found nothing.”


    Leaning against his chair, Miguel suggested, “What if they''re not in the hotel?”


    Dave arched a brow. “If that''s the case, it''ll be even more difficult to find them. This ce isn''t huge,


    but it isn''t small either. If they''re not in a hotel, looking for them will be like looking for a needle in a


    haystack,” he remarked.

    “Even if it''s akin to looking for a needle in a haystack, I''m still going to find her,” Keh gritted out.


    Knowing his determination, Dave nodded. “I''ll send another batch of men to look through the other


    ces.” With that, he turned away to make a call.


    Keh turned his attention to Miguel as a thought popped into his head. “Miguel, can you check


    the exact location for this number?”


    Miguel''s eyes flitted toward the screen, nodding. “Sure.”


    With that said, he began tracking down the number on theputer.


    However, the longer he did that, the deeper Miguel''s frown became. It almost seemed as if he was


    competing with someone.


    “What''s the matter?” Keh queried.


    “There''s an anti-tracking set up on this number, so it''s tough to find its specific location.”


    Hearing that, Keh narrowed his eyes. Are the boys that wary now?


    “Moreover, someone discovered me while I was trying to track down the number. Now, they''re trying


    to track me down instead.” As he spoke, he began typing faster and faster.
