Daniel was incredulous that Felix had remained unconcerned for an entire day. It wasn't until his neighbor informed him that he considered contacting the police. With a heavy sigh, Daniel immediately reached for his phone to check for the missed calls from that day. As expected, there was one from an unknown number.
He passed his phone to a colleague, saying, "Help me trace this number."
His colleague appeared confused. "Are you certain this could be the abductor?"
"I'm not sure. Let's find out," Daniel replied.
Sienna had been missing for a day. Since neither Felix nor Shelly had received any calls from the abductor, it seemed apparent that the target was Daniel.
The police swiftly took the phone to the monitoring room, with Daniel bringing Felix along. Once there, they hooked up the phone to the equipment.
Felix gazed at the large, complex instruments before him, unsure what they were for. He waited anxiously.
Meanwhile, the police held their breath as they watched Daniel dial the unknown number. The phone's connecting tone rang several times, but there was no answer before the call abruptly ended.
Just as everyone was feeling disappointed, the unknown number suddenly called back. Daniel's heart pounded and he shared nervous glances with his colleagues.
With the monitoring equipment activated, the police signaled Daniel to answer the call.
Daniel switched the phone to speaker mode before answering the call. With a composed tone, he asked, "Hello? Who's calling?"
As soon as he picked up, the computer screen displayed a location.
A voice, deliberately distorted by a voice changer, came through the phone. "Daniel, let Clement go if you want to see your girlfriend alive."
Felix's face went pale, and he anxiously covered his mouth.
Meanwhile, the police quickly left the monitoring room upon pinpointing the location, wasting no time rescuing Sienna.
Daniel kept a faint smile and stayed calm. "What's this supposed to be? My girlfriend's safe at home."
The line fell silent on the other end of the phone. Then, Sienna's anguished screams came piercing through the silence.
As Daniel heard Sienna's cries, it felt like a barrage of arrows hitting him. He couldn't breathe, his face twisted in agony. He gripped the phone so tight that his veins bulged.
Despite his ragged breaths, Daniel's
voice remained calm. "Listen closely. If you want Clement returned unharmed, Sienna must remain
safe. If she even gets a minor injury, Clement's life will be in danger."
"Bring Clement to us in one hour," the voice on the other end said casually, "And as for the address, I'm guessing you've already found it. There's no need for me to repeat, right?"
Daniel's expression darkened further.
The police, who were monitoring the location, watched Daniel in disbelief.
Without wasting a moment, Daniel swiftly departed, with Felix trailing right after him.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Daniel hurriedly walked away and firmly instructed, "Go home and look after your mother. Stop following me."
"But Sienna" Felix sounded worried.
"I'll make sure she's safe. Just go home and wait for updates."
Felix stayed rooted in place.
Daniel had already vanished down the lengthy corridor.
Several police cars raced out of the station one after another, speeding toward the location that had been identified.
Sienna was trapped on an old, abandoned yacht by the seaside. She endured a full day of captivity without any food or water.
Her eyes were covered with a
blindfold, her limbs bound, and her
mouth sealed shut with duct tape. In the background of roaring waves, she could hear the sounds of men laughing and chatting.
During the few hours of her capture, she endured the harassment of her captors and was forcibly stripped of her clothes.
