Mia propped her chin in her hand. Her cheek tilted slightly, and her mind was working again. She began to eliminate possibilities. "Gambling is under strict surveillance now, so no gambling dens would dare to hide people. Going to a club would cost money; if they had some, they'd probably gamble it away, so they might not afford the club's fees. If they went to a hospital, they could be admitted and provided for before paying."

Leo was excited. "That's exactly what I was thinking. I initially tracked them for two days using surveillance footage, but every time it was a wild goose chase..."

He was lured by the surveillance to a container yard, where he searched hundreds of boxes one by one with the help of the police. They searched all night, but in the end, they returned empty-handed.

Following the map, he went to the surrounding villages to investigate. "Later, the dogs in the village didn't even bark at me."

Mia and Molly broke into laughter. "Why?"

Leo replied, "I was there so often, so the dogs started treating me as one of their own."

The girls laughed again.

Their laughter drifted into the living room. At the same time, Andre, having finished his work, just returned home. The sound of his family's laughter was the best remedy for any of his worries.

Hearing their laughter, Hansen also wore a smile on his face. There was nothing more joyful than hearing laughter. Seeing Andre, Hansen pointed towards the backyard. "Go on. Your wife, your sister, and your nephew are all together again." With a good mood, Andre headed towards the backyard.

"What happened next?" Mia asked eagerly.

Leo replied, "I couldn't find them, and even made friends with a couple of dogs."

Later, Leo realized that he and the police had been led by the nose. It seemed that the enemy had predicted that they would rely solely on surveillance.

Ellory and Kyle had no close relatives, so Leo was kind of their only grandson and nephew.

After some time, Leo calmed down and thought about where Ellory and Kyle might have gone, places that he had overlooked. In the end, he narrowed it down to a suspicious place the hospital.
