Chapter 641


    After a 30-minute drive, Heather finally found the ce where the Great Detective was. It was a remote


    area, which was a good choice when one wanted to hide from the public.

    A smirk yed by the Great Detective’s lips as he looked at her walking toward him. I’ve really missed


    her, he thought to himself. Then, he spread his arms wide and said to her, “Hattie, let me give you a


    hug.”


    Heather rolled her eyes at him. “Zayne, be serious. I’m not in the mood to joke around with you.”


    Upon hearing her words, he put down his arms in disappointment but the smile on his face remained as


    bright as ever.


    “Hattie, who made you so angry?” he asked in a girly voice. He was not only a pervert but feminine in


    character, not to mention bisexual.


    “Please act more normal. You are bing rather gaytely,” Heather responded with a look of


    disgust on her face.


    Zayne Lee was unfazed by her reaction and said, “You dislike me for being a pervert, right? So, I


    thought that you may like me if I act this way and think of me as your bestie!” he purred in a British


    ent that sounded so annoying that Heather wanted to beat him up.


    “Did you stay in Britain for too long? Why do you have a British ent?” She rubbed her temple and


    was starting to regret asking him toe over.


    “Don’t you like it, though? It sounds gentle.” He spoke with his pinky raised.


    The way Zayne behaved in his burly build made his overall image seem incongruous. In all honesty,


    Heather even suspected that he was actually putting up an act because she couldn’t imagine him as a


    bottom, nor could she imagine anybody having such a peculiar taste to actually ept him as a


    partner.


    Although Zayne was no longer the pervert he used to be when she met him, this time around, she still


    found his image now uneptable.


    “Let’s get to business.” She cleared her throat and found a spot to sit down, trying her best to stay as


    far away from him.


    “Alright, I understand that you didn’t invite me here to be your bestie,” he stated as he took a seat


    beside her.


    “Is there any progress after so many days?” Heather asked with a frown. With Zayne’s capability, it is


    impossible for him not to find anything after investigating things for so long.


    “What kind of progress do you want?” he countered with a raised brow. Truth was, he looked rather


    handsome after dropping the feminine act.


    “I want to rescue Myra as soon as possible.” Heather murmured and her brows were tightly knitted.

    However, her request put him on a spot. “This will be difficult.”


    “Difficult?” she repeated in disbelief. It was rare to hear Zayne using the word ‘difficult’, as he would


    usuallyin that things were too simple to him.


    “Is there any better method?” she asked, refusing to believe that he had no better ideas.


    “Heather, I am but an insignificant detective. What other ways do I have?” This was the first time she


    heard him describing himself like this and it made her even more anxious.


    “Zayne, don’t brush me off. I know that you definitely have a way!” Heather roared, thinking that he


    must be pulling her leg. This can’t be true!


    However, Zayne merely shrugged and smiled at her. “This matter is not as simple as it seems. The


    kidnappers may seem like mere criminals from the surface, but they are supported by unfathomable


    forces behind them.”


    Truth be told, he did not expect Heather to be so irritable because of this and it was giving him a


    headache. She seldom lost her sense of judgement, but the kidnapping incident this time had obviously


    made her lose her calm.


    Upon hearing that, Heather tried to calm herself down because blowing up at him would not help the


    situation since it wasn’t his fault to begin with. “Do you have any good suggestions?” she asked.


    “Stay put. Don’t worry, though; your bestie’s life is not in danger for now,” he reassured her, finally


    getting serious.


    “Myra is pregnant, so of course I’m very worried for her!” Heather stressed this point again to him.


    Zayne raised his brows and replied nonchntly, “Heather, you know very well that this sort of thing


    happens every day. Even if the one who is being kidnapped is a pregnant woman, so what?” Zayne did


    not wish to see her losing herposure, so he had to find a way to make her view this kidnapping


    case without personal feelings.


    However, Heather countered, “She has been my best friend since I was young. In my heart, she is


    more important to me than my real sister.” This was the first time she confessed her heartfelt feelings.


    Zayne looked at her in distress, but he couldn’t allow her to be emotional. He had to remind her to think


    with reason.


    “The more you care about her, the more likely it is for you to fall in the kidnappers’ trap.” He revealed


    the truth bluntly. “You are now being led by the nose. I have to say, Heather, I’ve never seen such a


    stupid side of you.” He intentionally stressed on the word ‘stupid’ as he could not bear to see her


    continue on like this.


    “Do I really look stupid now?” She, too, felt that she seemed to have lost her judgement and kept doing


    stupid things.


    “Yes, incredibly stupid, I might add.” Zayne held nothing back as he recklessly degraded her.


    “What do you think I should do, then?” She looked into his eyes with a piercing gaze. She needed an


    answer right now, one that could show her the way.


    However, Zayne raised his voice and muttered, “Like I’ve said—stay put. This is a kidnapping incident,


    so you should understand that this kind of case is the most challenging one to handle.” He really


    couldn’t bear to see Heather this way. She seemed totally different from how graceful and morous


    she used to be.


    “I understand. I understand it all but if I don’t do anything, I feel useless.” Heather had been racking her


    brain to think of a better way these few days because she just couldn’t bear not doing anything.


    “You don’t understand that you are only acting foolishly.” Zayne shot her a cold look. He never


    expected Heather to be this way when they met again, and he found it an utter disappointment.


    “How should we rescue Myra from the kidnappers, then?” She was especially concerned about this


    matter. She had ced all her hope on Zayne, who had now practically be her savior.


    “Calm down. I can’t think of any way at the moment, but I’m not pulling your leg either—this case is too


    this if my words can get through to her.


    “Exin it to me in a way that is easiest for me to understand, then.” On the other hand, Heather


    required an exnation so that she could understand the entire situation.


    “You are very irritable now, so I’m afraid that you may hit me if I say something wrong.” As Zayne was


    speaking, he tried to match his words with his actions by giving her a timid gaze—he really pulled out


    all the stops for his act.


    Upon seeing that, she raised her hand in frustration. “I will hit you right now if you don’t give me a good


    exnation,” she muttered bluntly, as she knew that the generous Zayne never picked on her faults for


    trivial stuff like this.


    “Alright, alright. Please forgive me, O’ Master Heather. I’ll tell you everything,” he helplessly replied in


    aggrievement, which looked rather hrious on him.


    “You’d better give me a good exnation,” Heather growled in an intimidating tone.


    “This incident probably involves a lot of parties. Now that Myra is in their hands, they have got


    something on us, so we can’t just barge in and snatch her back even if we find their hideout,” Zayne


    exined vividly.


    “So?” Heather seemed to understand what he implied and looked at him thoughtfully.


    “Have you forgotten that they are criminals? Even if they are treating Myra fairly well now, things will


    not be the same if we try to barge into their ce to save her. Do you really think that they won’t make


    a move on Myra by then?” He threw her a question and had her figure it out herself.


    “You are saying that our actions are limited and we can’t do much because Myra is in their hands?”


    Heather responded with a question, finally understanding what he had in mind.


    “You don’t say!” He revealed a bright grin, which she found rather ugly.


    After listening to his analysis, Heather managed to calm herself down because what he had said made


    sense. Upon seeing that her expression had eased a little, Zayne inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.


    “So we are going to remain passive?” she pressed on, reluctant to ept that there was nothing they


    could do. If we continue to do nothing, how are we going to rescue Myra?


    “Have you heard of a kidnapping case where the kidnappers kidnapped a wealthy businessman for


    three months, and thetter managed to return unharmed?” Zayne suddenly brought up a case in a


    high spirit—it was a case that he was involved as well.


    “Three months?” Heather repeated in disbelief. “We can’t possibly let Myra give birth at the kidnappers’


    ce, can we?” Myra’s delivery date was approaching and it left them with not much time.


    “Stay calm. Trust me; I will try my best to get Myra back unharmed and as soon as possible.” Zayne


    was picking his words carefully as Heather now was too irritable, and he was afraid that he might


    identally say something that would offend her.


    “I trust you and your capabilities as well, but I need a timeline. I can’t just wait blindly,” she countered. It


    was hard for Heather and it never had been her intention to urge him this way as well, but whenever


    she thought of the fact that Myra was still in the hands of the kidnappers, she would feel so restless


    that she was unable to do anything.


    “One month.” Zayne reluctantly replied.


    “So long?” Heather asked incredulously.


    “Yes. This case is somewhat simr to the kidnapping case of the wealthy businessman. At that time,


    the kidnapper didn’t name their conditions even after quite some time and kept holding him captive, but


    of course, he didn’t torture the businessman. When I epted the case, I was the same as you—I had


    no idea what to do.” He continued tofort her. He believed that an intelligent person like Heather


    would surely understand what he implied.


    “And after that?” She was more concerned about what had happened next.


    “It was aplicated case that involved the interests of many parties, so it would be difficult for me to


    tell you everything at once. However, you have to trust me that this isn’t something that can be rushed,”


    Zayne reassured Heather, who had anxiety written all over her face.


    Upon hearing that, she sighed. She initially thought that a kidnapping case like this would be rare, but it


    turned out that strange urrences were never rare in a world asrge as theirs. It was great that


    Zayne had experience in this sort of case and she was d that she did not find the wrong expert to


    help her.


    “All you need to do now is to trust mepletely and listen to my everymand, alright?” He had to


    gain herplete trust as there were a lot of things that required her to work very closely with him.


    After some contemtion, she nodded seriously. “Okay. Consider it a deal.”
