Chapter 2601

Thalia pursed her lips. She found it pointless for her father to be there if all he could do was cry. Rather than helping, he could only sob to himself when the Riveras were busy negotiating with the kidnappers. He was not acting how a man should act, and she particularly despised those who shed tears."Don't hand over the money right away. We ought to contact the police and ask for their opinion on how to handle it," Cedric said.Henry became anxious when he heard that. "But isn't that exactly what the kidnappers warned us not to do? We have to do as they say and avoid involving the police! If they find out, both Lucas and Claudia's lives will be in danger!"The old lady waved. "You're not well-acquainted with their character, and you don't understand them either. Even if we don't involve the police, they have all sorts of ways to threaten the safety of our children."A better solution is to stall them and use the time to locate their hiding place. We can't view it from the narrow

Henry himself offered himself as the one to deliver the first ransom.Thalia disagreed right away. "No! What if those kidnappers take you too? You can't fight, and you can't defend yourself either. It's too dangerous! I won't let you go."Beatrice hesitated for a while before saying, "We know how much you want to save your daughter, but your proposal makes things very risky. There's no telling whether things will go awry..."Wally nodded. "Their concerns are valid. I believe you should continue to observe from behind the scenes. Our officers will handle the job of placing the money in the designated location."Henry, however, was adamant. "I didn't make this suggestion out of impulse. First of all, the kidnappers asked us not to call the police. We would've already gone against their demands by involving the police. Secondly, delivering the money to their designated location allows us to establish contact with them, which will help us later on."If the kidnappers find out that the

"No, Dad… Don't leave..." Thalia collapsed to the ground and watched helplessly as her father left.'Why are you doing this? Am I not your child too? Why do you always prioritize her over me?' she thought to herself, closing her eyes tightly as tears streamed down her face.One of the teachers was particularly distressed to see Thalia's reaction and helped her up gently. "Don't worry, young lady. Your father will be back safe." The teacher then handed her a glass of warm water after earlier feeling how cold her palms were.Despite offering words of comfort, they were well aware that the risk was simply too high. There was no guarantee that everyone would escape unscathed even if they let the police go with him, especially since Henry was nothing more than an unarmed middle-aged man. Still, he seemed to have steeled his resolve and accepted the fact that he might not be able to return safely again.Meanwhile, Beatrice and other officers were busy planning the next course of action.

Chapter 2604

Henry's hands had been tied in a harsh knot, and he was not taken seriously in the slightest. When he woke up, he heard a group of people telling dirty jokes in the car and laughing from time to time."These rich people are so fun to play with. They think we're stupid, but you're smart, Boss! All you did was dangle some bait, and they fell for it—hook, line, and sinker!" one of the men said in a low voice.Henry closed his eyes while trying to determine how many people were in the car. He planned to use that opportunity to rescue the two kids if the kidnappers captured him, but he needed to consider his own capabilities too. Though he might still be able to attempt it if there were not a lot of people, he would have to wait patiently for the police to rescue him if he was outnumbered.All in all, he had to place his faith in the police."Those idiots must've called the cops, but they were just careful not to show up in front of us. We've dealt with the authorities for so many years

They gathered around Henry brazenly and made no effort to conceal their identities from him, which suggested that they did not intend to spare him. His apprehension grew deeper when he realized that.Henry found himself thrown into the room where Lucas and Claudia were held. His heart ached for his daughter's safety, and he ran toward her when he saw that she was alive and well."Claudie!" Initially still grappling with despair, Claudia sensed that she heard her father's voice and perked her ears as she sat up."Was that my dad's voice? Am I hearing stuff?" Claudia murmured.Her thoughts were clouded with uncertainty, but Lucas reassured her that she heard correctly. "You heard it right. Your father's here.""Claudia…" Henry's voice reached Claudia's ears once more, and she heard it crystal clear that time.Her eyes welled with tears. "Where are you, Dad? Why are you here?! Did you come to rescue us?"The other captors chuckled mockingly from the doorway as the father and daught

Claudia was extremely anxious. She bumped into Henry, wanting to know if he was okay."Don't worry, I'm sitting here talking to you just fine. Nothing's wrong. They only hit me with a stick, but I didn't even shed a single drop of blood. It was my fault for missing the opportunity. Those kidnappers are really audacious. They actually set a trap for us along with the officers."Lucas remained silent, contemplating how they could increase their chances of escape.Sitting idly by was absolutely not an option.He believed his grandparents would surely rescue him, and indeed, that proved to be true to some extent. Still, he did not think those kidnappers would just sit quietly and do nothing to them. Every second they waited here, their danger increased by another degree."Mister Henry, didn't they blindfold you?" asked Lucas.Henry shook his head. "No, they only tied my hands and feet. Child, is there something you want me to check out?"Henry shifted slightly in Lucas' direction. As

"I don't want to think about anything. I just want to prepare for my choir competition. Why am I so unlucky?"Lucas' expression darkened even further. He knew all of this was because of him, but at that moment, Henry's words were more convincing. Nonetheless, he could not persuade Claudia to be optimistic, as he did not have that standing.After Claudia's crying gradually subsided, Henry affectionately rubbed her head. "Silly girl, have you forgotten that Daddy is right beside you? Whatever happens, you just hide behind me, and I'll make sure nothing happens to you."Ever since Claudia was young, her father had been like an immovable mountain, always protecting her. As she grew older, she started seeing her father as less of a superhero. Nonetheless, whenever there was an unexpected incident—like the kidnapping—she still felt that her father was the most reliable presence. She felt at ease as long as her father was with her."Dad..." Claudia was still very afraid, but she accepted

Luckily, what surprised them was that the iron wires were very soft, and the edges seemed to be curled up, possibly due to years of disrepair. Henry did not dare to delay any longer. After confirming the material of the mesh, he carefully made his way back and sat on the ground again. However, this time he could not control his strength well, and he fell to the ground.Claudia let out a quiet gasp, while the kidnappers outside reacted quickly. The lively drinking noises from the next room continued, but one person, who appeared very sober, grabbed an iron rod and pushed open their door.After seeing Henry lying on the ground, he warned them, "I warn you not to think about escaping or you're going to get a good beating from this iron rod in my hand!""It's confirmed that there's one person not drinking next door," said Henry.Henry's voice continued to tremble, causing Claudia to become increasingly alarmed. "Dad, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare me!"The occasional visits

Thalia's heart was hanging in suspense. She wished she could teleport to where her father was being held the next second.The faces of the officers showed excitement as they gradually got a lead on the investigation. Thalia's heart started settling down; this meant they had the upper hand. All that was left was to quickly find the kidnappers' hiding place and bring her father back!She had not even considered Claudia. She even darkly thought that it would be better if Claudia died in this kidnapping. Then, no one would come between her and her father's affection for the rest of her life.'Claudia, oh Claudia, this isn't me cursing you. It's all retribution for stealing Lucas away from me! If you had cared about me even a little, you would've stayed away from him!' thought Thalia.The fact that Claudia and Lucas were both kidnapped together made her realize the truth. Claudia was truly a 'good' sister to her.'Although she says that she won't date around and that studying is the mo

"Hehehe. I knew it was the right choice but follow you, Boss! We'll never have to worry about money ever again. We can eat and drink the finest after this!"Previously, in the next room, they had collected the first ransom. Each of them would be getting tens of thousands! This was something they could not have imagined back when they were working normal jobs.Thinking about the possibility of even more money to come, each of them worshiped Stan. Originally, they did not want to go back to this line of work after finally getting out of prison. After all, they had spent so many years inside, and they wanted to start fresh and turn over a new leaf when they got out.However, they just could not resist the temptation. This line of work brought money in so quickly compared to doing odd jobs. Moreover, they were looked down upon, and after a year of hard work, they would not even save much. It would be even more difficult to send money back home to their families for them to buy new cloth
