Chapter 247 Common Sense

Mr. Gary looked at the gradually darkened skies. He frowned and looked at the time, “We are already forty minutes late. Are we using the right route?”

“Mr. Gary, there was a mistake with the GPS just now, so we can only use the highway until we get a signal. Then, we can determine our location and direction.” The assistant answered right away.

Jean looked at the weeds by the roadside. “This direction should be right. That is City River, but… I remember that there is a piece of swamp area here.”

“Ms. Eyer, you don’t have to worry. Ray is a local.”

Jean looked at the lights outside the window. She quietly unbuckled herself.

“Mr. Royden, we have lost contact with everyone in that car. Their GPS is not showing an accurate location too. We only know what they are headed toward West City District.”

“They couldn’t be stuck in the swamp, could they?” Someone suggested.

The man’s look became stern instantly. He ordered coldly. “Find them. Immediately.”

“Yes, Mr. Royden!”

They were still empty handed after half an hour.

Royden Group immediately formed several small groups and started to search the whole way to West City District.

“Are you going too, Mr. Royden?” Miles was a little hesitant. “You still have to meet with Mr. Wilson tomorrow. If anything happens…”

Edgar frowned and continued to walk down the hill.

He remembered that Jean was just wearing a thin coat. The night was cold. He had to find her as soon as possible.

“Mr. Royden, careful!”

Edgar stepped into the wet mud. “Are there any tire marks nearby?”

“Yes. But they stop here. They must have changed route, or… sunk into the swamp.” The employee’s voice got lower and lower, because Edgar’s look was too terrifying.
