It still hasn't been found?" Cold sweat broke out on Bella's forehead. "How could a good person disappear into thin air?!"
The man on the other side of the phone said nervously, "The kidnappers are very cunning. They specially chose Black Street. It's the old urban area, where there is no surveillance. And recently they are on demolition, so there are few people around. It's very likely that they kidnapped Miss Martin and left from another intersection. We have found suspicious cars and are making a screening. But that intersection is a traffic passageway with a huge traffic flow. It takes a certain period of time..."
Bella said angrily, "How long will it take?! She has been missing for three hours! You haven't found out who she is!"
The other side was about to cry. "This... this matter is really not easy to investigate, Lieutenant-in-chief..."
Bella calmed down for a while. "I'll give you another half an hour, or we'll all be in deep trouble."
Without waiting for the conversation on the other side, he hung up the phone. Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door of the conference room and immediately saw the man sitting on the leather swivel chair. His face was very gloomy, just like the sea surface that was about to come in a storm. He didn't know when there would be huge waves that could turn everything upside down.
still needs some time." Bella whispered, "Sorry, master, it's my fault. I didn't tell you about it at the first time."
Hank lifted his eyes. That cold gaze didn't seem to belong to a human at all. Instead, it carried the bloodthirsty aura of a beast. The angle between the corners of his eyes and the ends of his lashes was like a sharp sword.
"Have you found out who she has anything to do with recently?"
His voice was as hoarse as a piece of paper that had been polished with sand paper, brimming with a frigid coldness.
...I've checked. It's not the Martin family, nor is it the other forces...in fact, there is only one person who has a conflict with Miss Martin..."
Hank said coldly, "Arielle."
"Yes." Bella nodded. "But..."
"There's no 'but'."
Hank stood up. "Where's she?"
Bella's white face changed dramatically. "You want to..."
"Where is she now?" It was like the last ultimatum of the demon, each word was the writ of death, making people feel cold from the spine.
"... Stuart family," Bella said. "Today is the mayor's wife's birthday. It's going to be a family dinner."
Hank said, "Prepare the car."
"... Master," after all, Bella couldn't help but say, "if you fall out with the Stuart family now, the future plans..."
Hank let out a sinister laugh, as if he was a Sandan in hell who was drinking his own blood. "We'll have to do it sooner or later. There's a problem sooner or later. What's the difference?"
Bella was speechless.
The black car, like a fierce and huge beast, shuttled through the lights of the city's tens of thousands of families and neon lights, with silent and aggressive killing intent.
The Stuart family.
The mayor's wife's birthday would be held tomorrow. Because at that time, there would certainly be a lot of people present, and there would be no time for a proper birthday. Therefore, the family party would be held in advance, with only the Stuart family present.
With a happy smile on her face, the mayor's wife blew out the candle with her husband, and then looked at each other as if they were a very affectionate couple.
But in fact, it was just an illusion for Derrick to see.
No matter how they played in private, there was an unwritten rule in the circle. In front of the elders and outsiders, the plastic couple always maintained the appearance of love.
Arielle smiled and kissed her mother's cheek. The mayor's wife said, "Arielle, come and cut my cake."
Arielle said, "Okay."
She had just picked up the cake knife when suddenly, a servant rushed in in a hurry. "Madam! Someone is breaking in!"
Derrick was stunned. "Who?"
The mayor's wife frowned in displeasure. "Who's so rude?"
"Sorry." The man's voice was clear and clear, and his military boots stepped on the ground and made a heavy sound. "Sorry to disturb you."
Derrick's expression changed. "Vice-official..."
He looked away and saw another man who looked like a god of death. He quickly stood up with his chair. "Mr. Bishop, you..."
Hank's face was cold as he said directly, "I didn't mean to disturb you. I'm just here to take someone away."
Derrick instinctively felt that something bad was about to happen.
When Mr. Stuart released the rumor that the Stuart family wanted to marry Bishop family, he was very disagreeable. Mr. Stuart dared to do this because Hank had been silent for too long. Later on, the group of people who were promoted did not experience his vicious methods. However, he clearly understood the young man's iron-fist approach.
He dared to step on Hank to take the throne. His son was really bold, but since the news had been released and he had no power to fight back, Derrick had been waiting and waiting to see Hank's opinion.
After such a long time, Hank still didn't say anything. He thought that Hank didn't care about these small tricks and finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn't expect that Hank would come by himself tonight.
He came in an aggressive manner and was definitely not celebrating.
Derrick's heart was beating like a drum, but he looked calm. "I don't know, Master Hank, you..."
Hank didn't want to be entangled with the old man. He turned his head and took a look at Bella. He understood and made a gesture. Immediately, two people in black stood up and quickly held Arielle.
Arielle screamed, "What are you doing?! Let me go! What are you doing?!"
The mayor's wife was also shocked. "What... what are you doing?!"
Derrick glanced at Arielle and gritted his teeth. "Master Hank, I don't know how my granddaughter offended you. She's just a child who doesn't know what's good for her. I apologize to you here..."
It was the first time that Arielle had seen her grandfather being so humble to someone. She had never been so angry in her life. She screamed, "Grandpa! Ask them to let me go! I'm the young lady of the Stuart family! How dare they do this to me!"
"Noisy." Hank said coldly.
Derrick's heart sank. He chided Arielle immediately, saying, "Shut up!"
Arielle was still unconvinced. She wanted to say something, but the mayor's wife had already given her a stern look.
Hank turned around and left. The two men also dragged Arielle out. Arielle screamed and was immediately blocked by others. Derrick wanted to go forward and smiled to stop him. "Mr. Stuart, my father has always been a person who can't tell right from wrong. I was very unhappy about what happened before, but for your sake, I didn't investigate it. Unfortunately, Miss Stuart was blind and hurt someone who shouldn't be touched. I advise you not to meddle in this matter, otherwise, the whole Stuart family will be involved."
Derrick's aged face was filled with fear. "You... What do you mean?"
"Old Master, you're a smart person. You know what I'm talking about." Bella glanced at the time and his expression turned solemn. "It's getting late. I'll take my leave first."
