A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 166

Tossing and turning, Robert was restless and couldn't fall sleep. His mind was racing, thinking about the good times that he had had with Linda when they were younger. In particular, two years ago, when they were reading books in the library in silence.

Her presence was enough to make it memorable.

And he missed such times. He missed her.

He had taken that time for granted, not knowing that that was the last time they could have alone.

It was already 4pm.

"Paul, any words from Linda?"

Charles sat on the sofa in the living room of Mu Clan, and knocked the table in a rhythmic way. The expression on his face was stiff and rigid, And his eyes were blood-shot, in agony that he had yet to hear or find the love of his life. She had disappeared, without a word and as much as they tried, She couldn't be found. Who had taken Linda?

"No, Young Master Mu. I'm sorry." Paul answered, his voice almost a whisper.

"Keep checking! Use all the resources we have!" Charles demanded, pounding the table hard.

"Yes, sir!" Paul responded, retreating back to his office to continue the investigation.

Finally, there was a breakthrough in the case. At 7am, Paul rushed back into the living room, finding Charles in the same spot that he had left him. "Young Master Mu, I think I found Her Ladyship! She is in Huo's villa."

"Huo's villa?"

Charles' facial expression turned grim.

Did Robert Huo kidnap Linda? Charles didn't think so. Robert didn't seem like he could. Even though he had history with Linda, he was a respected member of the society.

If not Robert, then Adam is the most likely suspect. Oh no... Charles thought, shivering at the prospect that a delusional man had abducted Linda. Charles knew Adam was indeed much more sophisticated than he looked. People usually underestimated Adam, but not Charles.

He was an absolute unfathomable and dangerous individual. He sympathized with Adam's predicament, caused by an incident that happened years ago.

Did Adam blame him? Charles thought, standing up. He began to pace back and forth, worried. What happened to Adam wasn't Charles' fault

But it had something to do with him.

"Yes, Young Master. But it was strange how I discovered the news. I just..."

"What is it?" Charles interjected. "I discovered her location by chance. I received an encrypted text message about her whereabouts. It's very suspicious."

"I don't care Paul, I just want to get Linda. Once she is safely in my arms, then we will figure the rest out later. Let's go." Charles quipped, already half way to the front door.

Linda felt an excruciating pain in her head

As if it was going to explode.

Her memory had yet to come back. Perplexed, she tried to recall what had just happened. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a foreign place, but the ceiling seemed familiar.

Where am I?

She touched her Dragon Ring on her hand subconsciously, resting easy that she still had it. She looked down at herself, and breathed a sigh of relief, that her clothes remained intact and on her body.

As she turned around, she saw Robert lying on the nearby couch with his eyes closed. Obviously, he was sleeping.

What's going on in here?

All she could remember was that at 4pm yesterday, when she was leaving school, the driver of a black car parking at the gate claimed that he was asked by Charles to pick her up, matching what Charles had told her earlier, so she got in without a hesitation.

When she entered the car, she immediately felt that there was something wrong. But it was too late. The driver locked the doors and turned around with a handkerchief in his hand. The handkerchief was doused, in what was presumably chloroform, and forcibly placed around her mouth and nose. She struggled to swat the assailant's hand away, but the grip was too strong. Soon after, she blacked out.

Linda regretted that she didn't mull over the driver's statement, which was full of loopholes. It didn't make sense and she only realized this when she was already in the car.

She had thought that she was kidnapped by someone random but now that she saw Robert she wasn't sure what to think. It was so weird.
