Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 187: I Must Go To My Daughter In Pinkwater Alley, Hugo and Jennie were restless all night. Tina had gone out and hadn't returned, causing them great concern. They had tried calling her several times, only to find her phone constantly engaged. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Hugo hurried to open the door, and was stunned to see Marie standing there. "Marie? What are you doing here?" he asked, confused. It was nearly half-past ten at night-why would she visit at such a late hour without sleeping, and with her eyes red as though she had just cried? Marie managed a weak smile, trying to maintain her composure. "Sophia has been kidnapped," she explained, her voice trembling. "Tina toldto chere first; she's gone to rescue her!" "What!" both Hugo and Jennie exclaimed in disbelief, staring wide-eyed at Marie.

Jennie was the first to react, grabbing Marie by the arm, her voice filled with urgency. "You just said Tina went to rescue someone? How could she do that? She's only a nineteen-year-old girl and doesn't even know martial arts. How could you let her go?" Hugo added, "Marie, your daughter has been kidnapped, and you send my daughter to rescue her? That's really not right!" The thought of his own daughter being in danger was unbearable. No father would ever want his daughter to face such peril.

Marie hadn't expected such a barrage of questions and suddenly felt overwhelmed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking clearly in my panic. I'll call Tina right now and tell her not to go. I've already called the police," she stammered. She had reported the kidnapping to the police immediately after discovering Sophia was taken, and had tried to reach the Farrell family, but Jared Farrell's phone was unreachable. Just then, Tina had called, and in a moment of desperation, Marie had told her everything. Regret washed over her as she remembered that Tina was just a young girl, inexperienced in fighting.

Marie hurriedly tried calling Tina, but the line was still busy. She couldn't bear to meet Hugo's gaze and whispered, "I can't get through!" At that moment, Hugo's phone rang. It was a colleague from his department. Reluctantly, Hugo answered the call. The voice on the other end was urgent. "Mr. Reed, you need to check the live streamingimmediately. Someone has kidnapped your daughter's student and is demanding she comes to rescue them! Over a million people are watching that channel; you need to see this." Previously, a video of Tina playing piano at a Reed family function had gone viral among Hugo's colleagues, so they all knew about his daughter.

Without wasting a moment, Hugo opened his phone. The number of viewers on the channel featuring a man in a golden mask was skyrocketing. The comments were filled with pleas not to harm the students.

The man in the golden mask, relaxed and indifferent, spoke to the camera. "Friends in the channel, what should I do if Tina doesn't arrive within the tI set? Oh, and there's also her fiancé's sister-such a pretty little thing. It'd be a pity to kill her." He pondered for a moment before continuing with a sinister tone, "Perhaps I should send her to the brothel I frequent. She'll grow up to be quite the catch." The comments erupted in outrage. People called him a monster, urging him to release the hostages and warning that justice would catch up to him.

Jennie, watching the horrific declarations, felt faint but Hugo quickly supported her. Despite the man's vile words, Jennie gripped Hugo's arm tightly. "Hugo, Tina will definitely go to rescue them. What are we going to do? We need to help her!" She knew Tina was capable and resourceful. Despite her young age and lack of fighting skills, Tina knew how to use medicines and other means to handle difficult situations.

Hugo, silent and focused on his phone, finally looked up at Jennie and said with determination, "They're after that thing!" Jennie faltered, her lips trembling. "You mean, they've discovered Tina's identity?" After a moment of contemplation, Hugo replied, "We should give it up. If protecting it means risking Tina's life, I'd rather let it go." Jennie agreed immediately. "Yes, nothing is more important than Tina." She paused, then suggested, "Try contacting that man through the comment section." Hugo nodded, opened the profile of the channel, and sent a private message: "I have what you want, let Tina go!" The message was sent, but there was no response.

Suddenly, Jennie gasped, "Tina!" Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on 000005sfor uninterrupted enjoyment. The next chapter is just a click away, exclusively available on our site. Happy reading! Hugo looked at the screen to see Tina appearing alone, her demeanor cold and composed. His hand tightened around the phone.

After a moment, he turned off the live stream and opened his contacts, dialing a number with no nm attached. As soon as the call connected, he said, "The person who gavethis number is K." The person on the other end paused briefly, then asked, "What do you need?" "There's a channel broadcasting a kidnapping of students in Ensford. I need the address of that channel." "Five minutes," the voice responded, and the call ended.

Hugo turned to Jennie and said, "I have to go find Tina. I failed to means.

protect her once; this time, even ifl still don't have the means; I need to be there for her, even if it means dying with her." Jennie took his hand firmly. "I'm coming with you. We'll bring Tina back home, no matter what." "Okay," Hugo agreed.

They were about to leave when Marie interjected, "I'm coming with you. Tina is my daughter-in-law, and m Sophia is my daughter. If anything happens to them, I need to be there too." With a plan set, the three prepared to face whatever awaited them, united in their determination to bring their loved ones hsafely.
