“That's good.” Shane nodded slightly and did not ask further. Instead, he walked toward a police officer and
inquired about the situation.
The police officer replied that they were already keeping an eye on the surrounding security footage. They would
soon figure out the route that the kidnappers took.
After a few minutes, the route was identified.
However, the bad news was there were two different routes.
“Why are there two routes?” Joyce frowned, feeling puzzled.
Silas adjusted his spectacles. “After leaving the parking lot, the car which brought madam away probably separated
from the car that almost hit you. Looks like the mastermind has already guessed that we'll determine the routes via
the security footage. They took separate routes so we won't know which car madam is in.”
“Yeah, both cars are black and don't have any license plates. Once they go separate ways, it'd hard to determine
where the hostage is.” The police officer sitting in front of the computer chimed in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShane gripped the two maps with routes tightly. “Then, let's chase after both of them!”
“I'm afraid that this won't be feasible.” The police officer shook his head. “The cars are driving out of the city.
Looking at their routes, there will be no more security footage if they drive for ten more miles. We won't be able to
determine their subsequent route after that.”
“So, the possibility of finding Nat will be much smaller by then?” Joyce paled.
He nodded. “That's right. Unless we stop them before they drive out of the parameter of the security footages.”
“How can that be possible?” Joyce pointed at the computer. “Although I don't understand these routes, I know what
the red and blue dots represent. The red dots are the two cars, and we are the blue dots. We're around thirty miles
away from them, so we definitely can't catch up with them!”
When she said that, the office descended into silence.
Shane had an urge to crumple the maps in his hands.
Silas took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, which had become sore from looking at the computer. “If only
madam has an electronic tracking device on her.”
“An electronic tracking device?” When Joyce heard that, her eyes lit up.
Shane narrowed his eyes and stared at her intently. “Do you know something?”
She nodded excitedly. “Silas, you reminded me! Nat actually has something like that!”
“No way!” Silas gaped. “How do you know about it? Not even Mr. Shane knows.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Shane.
Is it true that girls are closer to their best friends than their husbands?
Although Shane did not know what Silas was thinking about, he could guess that it was probably not something
pleasant. Frowning, he urged Joyce, “Okay, tell us now.”
Patting her cheeks and calming herself down, Joyce replied seriously, “Wasn't Nat kidnapped the previous time? I
was afraid that she'd be traumatized, so I brought her and the two kids out for shopping. I gave her a pair of
earrings after that.”
Shane nodded.
He knew about that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie wore the pair of earrings the next day.
“You hid a tracking device in her earrings?” Silas stared at Joyce in surprise.
She waved her hands. “No, it's Connor. He's worried that something might happen to Natalie again, so he asked me
to buy a mini tracking device for him. He installed it in Natalie's earrings before telling me to give them to her. She
doesn't even know about it.”
As Natalie did not like it when Connor publicly displayed this talent of his, he had no choice but to do it secretly.
He even asked Joyce to keep it a secret from Natalie.
Silas was shocked. “Connor is so bright! He actually knows how to install a tracking device. Mr. Shane, do you know
that Connor can do this?”
Although Shane's expression was calm and he did not reply to Silas, he felt a sense of pride surface within him.
He also knew that Connor was a genuine prodigy in hacking.
The previous month, he had deliberately asked Connor to attack Thompson Group's security system to test the
extent of his hacking skills. However, Connor infiltrated it easily. He even criticized the security system and helped
to upgrade it.
