Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 349

"Liberty Rail Corp?"

As Whitney's footsteps approached from behind, Ludwik didn't bother to hide and switched his phone to speaker mode.

The voice from the police department said, "Yes, Mr. Lippert, the kidnapper with the missing limb we apprehended turned out not to be Mr. Percy's bodyguard from the auction house but a retired mercenary who previously worked at Liberty Rail Corp in Emperor City. This is our most solid lead so far."

A retired mercenary from Emperor City involved in Danny's kidnapping?

"If you're available now, Mr. Lippert, we'd like to invite you to the station."

As the officer finished speaking, Ludwik let out a grunt of agreement. The more he uncovered about the kidnapping, the more twisted it seemed. Worried sick about Danny, Ludwik was determined not to let the mastermind behind this get away.

Without further delay, he cast a meaningful glance at Whitney, who looked equally puzzled and curious.

"I need to stop by the station. I'll keep you posted on any developments."

"Sure. Danny can stay here tonight," Whitney said, her tone firm, practically showing Ludwik out the door without a hint of regret.

Ludwik pressed his lips together, his mood darkening. After giving her a long look, he coolly walked away.

After closing the door, Whitney frowned, pondering. Liberty Rail Corp in Emperor City?

She was well aware that behind Danny and Sammy's kidnapping was Elaine's scheming. But how could it be linked to something as distant as Emperor City? And what or who exactly was Liberty Rail Corp?

She decided to send the name 'Liberty Rail Corp' to Bryce, who had a wide network within the Banyan City business circles, hoping he might trace something valuable.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Danny was arguing with Sammy.

"Sammy, stop bringing up Bryce all the time. I know you're trying to provoke Dad, but I don't trust that man!"
