Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

After jotting down the two series of numbers, Cedrick kept the repaired phone and placed a bank card on the table.

“This is your compensation. You know the rules; keep this matter to yourself.”

He sounded so icy that there was not a hint of emotion in his voice.

Owen nodded anxiously. “Don’t worry, Mr. Jenson. I understand.”

After retrieving the phone, Cedrick made his way back to the Federal Bureau of Investigation swiftly.

It had been over twenty hours since Gwendolyn went missing.

As Harris Group needed to operate per usual, Cedrick had called its personal assistant, instructing to have all schedules and contract-signing events postponed.

To avoid causing a buzz, he told the Harris family nothing about this incident, instead focusing on investigations.

After running a check on the two unsaved phone numbers, the man learned that they belonged to real people and came from a hospital overseas.

The numbers belonged to a female doctor whom the owner of the phone had contacted.

While this didn’t seem to help much, Cedrick couldn’t help but feel dubious about the two overseas numbers.

Nico and Swain made progress by noon.

After going through every road’s surveillance footage, they saw that the black vehicle had last appeared on a market street in a certain small town called Quawak.

There were little to no surveillance cameras in that rural area, so the Federal Bureau of Investigation could only secure a vague location of the car.

Furthermore, there was no footage of the vehicle leaving the town.

Cedrick used a red marker to circle Quawak on the map, then instructed, “Nico, get Team Four ready to come with me to Quawak. Also, tell the reserve police in this area to seal off all of Quawak’s roads by today.”

Nico appeared stumped. “I’ll go instead. Quawak’s pretty far from Salinsburgh, so it’ll take a long time to get there and come back. If you were to go there personally, you wouldn’t make it back to the lab in time to keep Benny and Zendy company. There’s no way I’d be able to handle them by myself.”
