Chapter 273 - I’m Famished

On the other hand, Mo Li was frantic as he pace inside the police station. He was currently inside the office of the chief with the Mayor and Daniel Rogers. His hands clenched around his phone.

"Did you find them? What about the CCTV?" Daniel's voice echoed as he talked to his people over the phone. "Then check the CCTV again! Am I not paying you enough? Find them! I want you to find Sarah or I — I will make you suffer!" He ended the call and glanced at Father Qin. "How about your people? Did you found any traces of them?"

"No. I am still talking to my people."

Finally, the Chief who also just ended a call stood up and said, "I already locked the city. There are checkpoints in every kilometer surrounding that restaurant. Since they actually ate in a restaurant near the border, I had to contact the other City's police station for their cooperation. We should have some results soon."

Daniel clenched his teeth. "We need to find them as fast as possible!"

"Chief we found something!" the man who suddenly barged into the room announced before running towards the computer room.

"Follow me!" The Chief said as he led them towards the room."What is it? Did they finally send ransom?"

"No! Someone sent us an email. For some reason, the IP address was in this police station. It states that this will serve as a warning to Mayor Qin."

"Warning?" Mo Li asked. "Then— No! That can't be. What about any location? Did they send anything else?"

"No. Unfortunately, Mr. Mo. The email only has that message, " the police officer answered.

"Sir! Sir! We found something! We found an abandoned car just like the one who took them. It's just outside City T!"

"City T is a few hours away from here! How did it get there?" Mayor Qin furrowed his brows.

"How about the plate number?" The chief asked the person who arrived.

"They— " The man held his phone and started talking to the person on the other line. Then he nodded. "It's the exact number!"

When the officer confirmed it, everyone in the room including Mo Li and Daniel immediately rushed out to their own cars. This City T is only about a two-hour drive from the police station. It shouldn't take that long before they arrive at the place.

The first one who arrived at the site was Mo Li. Then Daniel Rogers and Mayor Qin arrived a few seconds after. When they arrived, there were already police cars and police officers around the area. There was also a tent where most people are currently in as it was raining.

"This place is very remote." The Chief said as he roamed his head around the place surrounded by trees. "Plus it's raining. But don't worry, I assigned the best search team that we have. A helicopter is also coming. As long as they are here then I am confident that we will locate them soon!"

Despite his confident tone, the Chief was actually worried right now. He was worried that those people already killed Sarah Qin. After all, the email that they received already said that this will serve as a warning to the mayor. He eyed the worried face of Mayor Qin. All of them here that not only Sarah Qin was taken, they also took her sister who was accompanying her at that time. If something happens to those two women then… that would be too tragic!

The loud thunder boomed around them, surprising everyone in the tent.

"Mayor Qin, do you have any idea who would dare do this to Sarah?" Daniel asked.

"I— I have no idea." The old man immediately denied. "However, it is natural for me to have a few enemies as I am a politician. I have offended a few people over some projects in the city. If the Chief is interested, I could give you a list of the people that I have offended in the past."

'That would be better. This will help us with our investigations."

"Chief, my people are coming. They will help us with the search." Mo Li said as he stood next to the Chief.

"Alright, please have them coordinate with us. Every team should have at least one or two policemen with them. " The Chief answered.

After a few minutes, the group made a plan with a map of the area. Sadly for them, they underestimated the weather and the current location. Apparently, this place was close to a river and every time there are strong rains, the river would overflow, causing a flood on this side of the road.

After two hours, the river started to show signs of overflowing but there still aren't signs of Sarah and Bella. Because of this, Mo Li started to get nervous. He clenched his jaws into two tight fists. According to the rules, he couldn't directly help Bella in his task. So, if she needed to kill someone, Mo Li can't personally kill that person for her. However, he could always hire people to help her.

This was also the case now. Mo Li was the person responsible for hiring the people who kidnapped them but he couldn't accompany Bella and act as the kidnapped victim too. She needed to do her tasks or quests on her own!

"We need to move the tent to a higher area, it will flood soon!" The Chief instructed his people to move the tent a few meters away from where they are now. "The rain washed away all the traces that they left. Mayor Qin, Mr. Mo, Mr. Rogers, we will do our best to find them."

After a few more minutes, Daniel's men arrived to help them with the search. This time, they found an abandoned house but there were no other signs that people are inside the house.

"A few kilometers from this place is a shed. It was old. People use it on their camping trips before. It was really small and every time it rains it gets flooded too!" The Chief said.

"Then what are we waiting for? I think you should instruct your men to go to that area too!" Mo Li said, he could feel his heartbeat race, sweat trickled down his forehead. He eyed the sun that was already starting to rise. "We should hurry. If that area was flooded then… I…"

"Mr. Mo, our helicopter is already on the way."

"Chief, let me ask you this," Mayor Qin said. "Why didn't you prioritize this shed earlier?"

"Because of the house opposite to the small shed. Both were abandoned but the house… was located in a more remote area. If one would think about it, the kidnapper would always pick the more remote area." He hastily explained. "As I said, this shed is on the opposite of the house. We decided to focus all of our search party on this area because it was more remote. There were also a lot of trees in this area. Whereas the shed is located in a barren part of this forest."

Mayor Qin nodded and they listened as the Chief give new instructions to his people.

"It's already seven in the morning! What is taking them so long?" Daniel asked, his words were interrupted when he heard a message from the radio in the chief's hand.

"Sir, as expected the area near the shed. The water is about waist deep. Our team is already near the area. We should be able to reach the place in a few minutes."

"Sir, there are signs of people inside the shed!"

This sentence made Mo Li and Daniel jolt up from their seats.

"Sir. It's confirmed Miss Qin, Mrs. Mo, and Mr. Gabriel Ting are indeed inside the shed. We are transporting them using the helicopter."

Mo Li heaved a sigh of relief when he heard those words. He clutched his chest. In this world, he had no other choice but to trust Bella's plans. He couldn't intervene. And this is making him angry and worried at the same time.

After a few more minutes, the sound of the helicopter neared them. Everyone inside the tent looked at the helicopter that was now starting to land a few hundred meters away from them.

When Sarah and Bella were escorted out, their lovers immediately run towards them. Their faces showed relief and concern. Even Mayor Qin couldn't help but teared up when he realized that his daughter was safe. Then the medical unit helped them towards the ambulance.

….

When Bella woke up again, she couldn't help but wonder if she was already back in her space. She stared at the white ceiling for a few more minutes before she realized that she was in the hospital. The strong smell of antiseptic made her frown.

"You are awake!"

Mo Li's voice was soft and sweet as he approached her. "I made some porridge for you. Do you want to eat first?" he smiled. For a few seconds, Bella stared at his gentle eyes. Then she smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I'm famished."
