Atlas furrowed his brow and said into the phone, "Mike, don't worry! We're heading there right away. Call the police and let them investigate. We'll be there soon.""All right. Hurry up and come over. I'll try to gather some friends to figure things out."After hanging up the phone, he turned to Cane beside him. "Book the plane tickets immediately. Jared, I'll leave things here to you."In the hospital room, everyone seemed a bit lost. Lauren reassured me, "Go quickly! You can leave this to me and Jared. Don't worry. We'll find him."I just glanced at the weak Oliver lying on the hospital bed and said, "Oliver, take care of yourself. Sorry!"He blinked. "Go on."Atlas, Cane, and I left the room. We immediately ran into Ivanna who was carrying a thermos. She asked, "Where are you all going in such a hurry?""We've got something urgent. We'll leave things here to you."I was still pondering how someone could disappear like that? A perfectly healthy person, at that?My phone ra

"We have to play it by ear." He said, " I believe this notebook must be crucial, not just to your father but also to the ones who want it. There must be secrets involved. Even if we have this, we can't let them have their way."As soon as Atlas said this, everything clicked for me.Indeed, they knew my father better than I did. How did they know about this mysterious notebook? What exactly was in it that led them to resort to kidnapping?"So, are we heading there now? But the person on the phone is after the notebook. If we don't give it to them, then...?" I was a bit unsettled, especially since it involved my dad's well-being."All the clues lead to the small town, so we must make a trip there to understand the whole story," Atlas asserted.Just as we were about to leave the lobby, I heard my mom calling me from behind. "Chlo..."I turned around to see her quickly descending the stairs.We both stood in place, watching her approach. Though her expression remained composed, he

The police also reported on the inspection of nearby surveillance. Despite being a small town, it wasn't quite dead at night. The hotel my dad stayed at was the newest star-rated establishment, with cars coming and going.After a thorough investigation, they finally identified a black Audi parked in front of the hotel during that time frame. However, it was parked at such a tricky angle that one couldn't see the person coming out the door. That car's license plate belonged to our small town, but upon further investigation, it turned out to be a fake.It seemed like this was a well-planned and premeditated incident. We were anxiously awaiting the latest clues from the investigating officers.Just at that moment, my phone rang again.I quickly said to everyone, "It's that unknown number."Atlas reached over and took my phone, then turned on the speaker.The next second, the modulated voice echoed again. "Ms. Chloe, it seems you don't care about your father's safety, collaborating w

Ryan's revelation sparked my intense curiosity.I pressed for more details, asking, "And? Is there anything else?""No... You know the situation, and I was on borrowed time. Plus, when I started investigating, I realized that finding even this bit of information was quite a lot of trouble," Ryan replied earnestly."When did you think about looking into this?" I was curious."It was after returning to Bibury and recalling when we first met, along with everything that happened afterward. I wanted to help you figure out the things you've been suspicious about. But once I started digging, I found out how peculiar it all was."I had complete faith in Ryan's words. It seemed my parents were not what I expected. They weren't northerners, and certainly not from Bibury."Finding that old teacher was incredibly difficult, and the old man is almost 90 years old now, but he's sharp as a tack, with a remarkably clear mind. He said he felt uneasy after getting that large sum of money, so he de

Atlas's eyes lit up, and he looked at me. "Where?"He took a step closer, and I showed him my phone screen. "The place where my dad’s been tied up seems to be my home."Atlas glanced at the screen of my phone and then focused his gaze on me, asking, "Are you sure?"I nodded vigorously and said, "I'm sure! When he sent you the video just now, I saw the ceiling light. I thought that the light was strangely familiar. I remember now—it was the chandelier in our living room at home!"Then, addressing the high-ranking official, I said, "Our home is in the compound of the Nomunal College!"The high-ranking official pondered for a moment and then turned to Atlas. "The distance from that compound to Wanjia Supermarket is about 5 minutes!"Atlas decisively declared, "Hurry on over!"The official immediately issued orders, and swift actions were taken.We quickly got up and headed outside. Mike stomped, saying, "Why didn't I think of that? After completing the procedures yesterday, I hand
