Chapter 411


    Meanwhile, Keh had been frequently visiting the rooftop restaurant ever since that night.


    Each time he was there, he would scan his surroundings with the hope that Natasha would appear


    once more.


    However, the receptionist told him that Natasha did not return since that day.


    It was hard for him not to feel disappointed at the news. If only I wandered around the other day, I


    might''ve run into her.


    Right then, Dave returned after making a phone call. When he saw Keh''s dejected expression,


    he patted thetter''s shoulder to console him. “This is just like the saying in Chanaea—waiting in


    the wings, right?”


    Keh forced a smile and side-eyed him. “What is it?”


    “I''ve got both good and bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear first?” Dave asked.


    “Unless she shows up in front of me right now, all news is considered bad news,” Keh replied


    indifferently.


    Raising a brow, Dave uttered, “Okay.”


    He then sat beside Keh and continued, “We''vebed all the hotels nearby but came out in


    vain.”


    Keh''s brows furrowed when he heard that.


    That''s impossible! I know her well enough, and she''s definitely still in the area. She won''t go far


    unless...


    “The men have searched high and low for her everywhere they could. Unfortunately, she''s nowhere


    to be found,” Dave reported.


    Instantly, Keh''s frown deepened. “Did anything happen during the search?” he queried.


    “What do you mean by that?”


    “Was there any sudden emergency? Did you notice anything weird or peculiar?”


    Dave whipped out his phone and set it on the loudspeaker. “Did you encounter any special incidents


    when you guys were ransacking the ce?”


    “Special incidents? Nope.”


    “Are you sure about that?”


    “Oh, there was this one hotel where the staff recalled seeing a gorgeousdy. However, she wasn''t


    able to confirm when we showed her the photo, so we headed to the room to check. Suddenly, a fire


    rm sounded, and everybody was urged to evacuate. Does this incident count?”


    Keh listened with knitted brows.


    Upon noticing the slight change in his expression, Dave queried further, “Was there a fire at the


    hotel?”


    “Nope. They announced it was a fire sensor malfunction,” the man replied.


    Without saying anything, Keh got to his feet and darted outside.


    Knowing what was going on inside Keh''s head, Dave requested over the phone, “Send me the


    hotel address immediately!”


    In the car, Dave looked at Keh and said, “Don''t put all your hopes on this. It might not be her.”


    Thetter shook his head and stared at Dave intently. “It''s her. It must be her!”


    Since he was resolute and unswerving, Dave did not want to rain on his parade. Instead, he floored


    the elerator pedal and sped off.


    It took about twenty minutes for them to arrive.


    They headed straight to one particr room, but it waspletely empty.


    “This is the room that thedy stayed in for one week,” informed the hotel staff.


    Keh looked around, only to realize that the room was spick and span. There were no signs of


    her presence.


    However, he seemed to be able to imagine what it was like when Natasha was upying the room.


    “When did she check out?” Dave asked.


    The hotel staff thought for a moment before replying, “When you came searching for her the other


    day, the fire sensor was faulty, and this room was unsearched. It''s listed as avable after that. I


    think she must have checked out then.”


    Upon hearing that, Keh scrunched his brows.


    “You mean this room wasn''t looked into?” Dave asked to rify his doubt.


    The staff nodded. “We knocked for quite some time, but no one answered the door. At that moment,


    we thought nobody was inside. By the time I wanted to open it using the ess card, the fire rm


    went off, and all the guests were instructed to leave the premises.”


    Dave turned to Keh. “If that was her, our men had made a careless mistake. Anyhow, what are


    the odds?”


    Keh said nothing, knowing that it was not an uncanny coincidence at all.


    He was convinced that Natasha did it intentionally.


    Seeing that Keh was quiet, Dave took the liberty to ask for more information. “The hotel has


    surveince cameras, right?”


    The staff nodded and answered in the affirmative.


    “Show us the surveince footage.”


    With another polite nod, the staff led them to the control room.


    She cooperatively pulled out the footage requested. As per her description earlier, the fire rm


    went off when the staff was about to open the door. Subsequently, everyone left the building.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    There was no movement detected outside that particr room until the door opened slightly over


    ten minutester.


    A figure was seen exiting the door wearing a long ck trench coat and a hat, covering herself from


    head to toe. Her wavy hair draped over her shoulders until her waist. Everything about her was a


    dazzling disy of beauty.


    Keh''s forehead creased the moment he saw the silhouette.


    It''s her!


    Although only her back profile was shown, Keh could recognize her at first nce.


    That''s her!


    “Could you adjust the footage to show the face, please?” Dave inquired.


    “Sure,” the staff at the control room responded and did as requested.


    Soon, her front profile was projected on the screen. Though it was from a distance, and her features


    were vaguely seen, one could tell that she exuded an exceptional aura.


    This time, apart from Keh, Dave was so sure that the person in the surveince footage was


    the one he met at the restaurant.


    A unique and charming charisma like hers is hard toe by!


    After staring at it for a while, Dave broke the silence. “Was there a fire at the hotel that day?”


    The staff shook her head. “Nope. We had no idea why the rm went off out of the blue, but it was


    fixed in a jiffy.”


    Dave''s brows snapped together. The more he mulled over it, the more he felt that the situation was


    a lot moreplicated than expected.


    He turned to Keh. “J, something seems amiss. It''s too much of a coincidence for all these to


    happen. Someone might have orchestrated it all on purpose.”


    Keh pursed his thin lips and fell silent. Momentster, he uttered, “Let''s go.”


    As soon as he left, Dave told the hotel staff a few things before going after Keh.


    “J, don''t you think that these are all strange coincidences?” Dave asked.


    “Are they?”


    “Since the day we started hunting for her, we could only capture images of her side or back profile,


    which ordinary people had no way of recognizing them. She''s great at keeping her identity safe.


    From this recent incident, I suspect that someone is helping her discreetly. Otherwise, it''s


    impossible that we still couldn''t locate her after so long,” Dave exined.


    A line about seeking help from others was sufficient to upset Keh.


    He could not help but recall the words of Miguel.


    Anonymous has been admiring and defending her all the while. Nat, is someone really helping you?


    You''d rather turn to others thane to me for help?


    “J?” Dave nudged him.


    “Let''s go,” Keh said under his breath.


    Upon seeing thetter''s listless expression, Dave did not know how to respond. Right then, the valet


    drove the car to the entrance, and the two got into the vehicle.


    Shortly after their departure, a cab pulled over, and Natasha got out of it. Her cool and imposing


    aura radiated a terrifying sense of dominance. With her eyes looking forward and her hand clutching


    her bag, she strode ahead.
