Chapter 905
lan’s eyes were boiling with rage. He looked around for a while but didn’t see Maja anywhere, so he decided to keep
moving. But Coco seemed unwilling to leave, as if he wouldn’t go home without finding his owner.
“Coco,” he called out coldly, “let’s go. If you don’t come, I’m leaving you behind.
But Coco just sat on the lawn. Soaked through from the rain, he didn’t budge, even though he loved lan dearly.
They had a standoff for a while, but in the end, lan caved. He took off his suit and wrapped Coco in it, carrying on
with a stern face.
lan could understand his boss being ticked off at him, but a dog defying him was a new one. It irked him, but he
understood that Coco was just worried about his owner.
Dogs had a clumsy way of showing loyalty sometimes. Some dogs would sleep on their owner’s grave after they
passed away. They understood what death meant, and they just couldn’t articulate it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs lan pressed on, he ran into Jeff driving back. “Boss, Ms. Pennyfeather isn’t at the villa.”
This meant that something could’ve happened to Maja.
“Check all the surveillance around here to find her!”
Jeff had already given that order, but seeing lan holding Goco, he worried about his allergies. Ian carefully put Coco
into the car and climbed in after him.
Once home, Coco sat outside in the rain, refusing to come in. Ian left it be and went to take a shower, waiting for
some news. When he came out, Coco. was still at the door, seemingly waiting for Maja. He snorted, and then his
phone rang.
“Sir, the surveillance near the park has been tampered with. Our hackers have traced Ms. Pennyfeather’s phone,
but we think it could be a decoy. We’ve also got a rough idea of where the kidnappers are. They’ve been heading
towards the mountains since leaving the park. We’ve sent you the route, but we can’t pinpoint the exact location.
The surveillance has beeh tampered with all around. This isn’t your average kidnap.”
lan immediately got up, taking Coco with him to follow the lead.
In this digital age, surveillance covered almost every corner. Even if not everywhere, it was enough to trace the
kidnappers‘ route.
Over twenty cars set off towards the destination. But the further they went, the graver lan’s expression became.
The place was not just deep into the mountains, and the kidnappers were still on the move, apparently not at their
destination yet. The road led to an area that had been hit by a major earthquake. The villagers had been evacuated
over a decade ago.
They drove all day and night, leaving Greenfield and reaching the outskirts of another city. Surrounding them were
many abandoned villages, their roads torn apart by a past earthquake. This area was the epicenter of the
earthquake and had become a deserted town.
When lan’s car could go no further, they were fortunate to have brought along a dozen helicopters. As the sun
rose, the helicopters scoured the ground for any abnormalities.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut lan wasn’t satisfied and called in twenty more helicopters. He couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening
to Maja, it felt like a punch to his gut Despite their efforts, they still had no trace of Maja. There were seventy to
eighty people on the ground searching, along with a dozen police dogs. lan’s face turned colder. He glanced at the
gloomy sky and felt a chill run down his spine.
Then someone informed him. “Sir, the Seismological Bureau advises us to evacuate. The area’s unstable.”
Unstable meant an earthquake could hit anytime. Seismology had advanced a lot and could predict earthquakes. It
was currently high–risk.
Just as lan was about to order the helicopters to leave, a voice came through the radio. “Sir, we’ve found a clue. It
is a piece of cloth from a garment.”
lan didn’t retreat. He arrived at the spot and received another call, again from the Seismological Bureau, urging
them to evacuate. He told the others, “You go first. Take Coco with you.”
Coco was there too, with the other police dogs. If something dangerous happened to Coco, he would feel guilty
about Maja.
