Chapter 165
“Hello, hello? Can you hear me?”
The Bluetooth earphone that Renfrew had on suddenly sounded, and the voice that came through belonged to the worried Myriade who had not received a reply to her message, but it was only a mechanical voice. “Don’t talk too much to strangers. There are a lot of children who are getting kidnapped and sold to foreign countries now, and don’t forget that you’re Rickard Duval’s son, so you’re worth a fortune.”
“Thank you, young lady. I know how to get there now.” Renfrew thanked the ladies, picked up his small backpack, and walked away along the roadside under the shade of trees.
Myriade: Wouldn’t it be more convenient for you to take a taxi than to ask around for directions? Just give me the license plate number when you get in the taxi.
Renfrew: Okay, Ms. Myriade!
On the other side, Hesper was already on the brink of losing her mind, while bodyguards of the Duvals had already been searching for Renfrew in the areas around the Duvals’ residence. However, there was no sign of the kid at all. Hesper’s wound had just opened today, so she could not get out of the hospital bed at all; she could only sit on the bed and wait for updates.
Looking at how anxious Hesper looked, Isaac comforted her. “Ms. Lane, don’t worry too much. Our men are already searching everywhere. Young Master Renfrew will be safe and sound.”
Hesper rubbed her temples. This feeling of complete powerlessness was not something that she would
encounter often.
“I just contacted Benji and the assistant working for Mr. Duval too.”
This was something Hesper did not ask of him, so Isaac felt a little guilty when he disclosed the
information.
But seeing that Hesper did not seem to blame him, he continued. “He pulled all the surveillance footage. recorded by the cameras in Duvals’ residence and realized that those surveillance cameras were all hacked for a split second, so there was no footage that shows Young Master Renfrew leaving the villa.”
“They’d been hacked?” Hesper frowned. “Didn’t they try to recover them?”
Of course, Benji was the one who knew about Renfrew’s disappearance earlier than the others; however, since Rickard had not woken up yet, Julie was still in the hospital, and Sophia was not decisive enough to make any decisions, he could only take matters into his own hands.
“When he found out that the young master had disappeared, he immediately handed it over to the technicians of the Duvals, but they still couldn’t recover the video.”
‘So the other party’s ability isn’t something to be trifled with, and they seem rather well-prepared for this whole situation.
Hesper’s eyes dimmed.
‘If someone really took Renfrew away, all we can do now is to look for him around the city. However, this would feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, and it would definitely not yield any.results.”
Rickard was in a coma at this moment, so nobody knew what they should do and where they should go.
“Send me the surveillance footage. I’ll send it to Nathaniel.”
The hackers working under Nathaniel were all well-known in the world. Before Hesper returned to
Genecity, he had repeatedly told her that if she were to encounter any problems that could not be solved, she must take the initiative to contact him.
Originally, Hesper did not want to trouble Nathaniel. After all, they were just friends, but they also shared an engagement bond, which made things even more awkward. In addition to that, although they had been getting along well, she still did not think that she should be troubling him with such a trivial matter.
However, Renfrew had always been the most important person to her.
“In addition, we found out that Young Master Renfrew has been wanting to visit you recently, but Madam Duval and Ms. Duval grounded him.”
“Grounded?” Just as Hesper sent the footage to Nathaniel, there was already a hint of hatred on her face. ‘Renfrew is my son and Rickard’s. No matter what, they’re not in a position to manipulate him.
