After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314 Danger (3) Kidnap

Hannah was totally startled. However, Theodore still seemed composed as if he had already expected it.
"What should we do?" Hannah asked anxiously.
"Just go for him."
"Where to go?"
"I don't know. Whatever, we gotta set off." Theodore himself had no idea how to start. He just tried to keep himself calm.
So did Hannah. Oscar wouldn't be risking his own life to fight against a bunch of drug dealers, she supposed.
"We gotta go." Said Theodore.
Hannah turned to look at Thoth, "Just stay here. Remember to tell your family to pick you up. Theodore and I won't be leaving so soon."
"Okay. Be careful." Said Thoth.
"Don't worry. Take care."
Then Hannah left the hospital with Theodore. They returned to the car.
"We gotta settle down in a hotel." Theodore said to Jimmy.
"Why? We should be looking for Oscar." Hannah frowned.
"Do you know where to find him?"
"Just go for him like you said."
"But we gotta have a destination." Said Theodore.
"But it's not a time to rest in hotel. We gotta do something." Hannah was speechless. Theodore was being too incredibly self-possessed. Burning with anxiety, she felt like she couldn't wait any longer.
"We will talk about it in the hotel." Theodore insisted.
Hannah finally compromised.
"I need a room." Theodore said to the front desk lady.
The lady took a weird look at the three of them. Obviously, she might have considered Hannah a whore. Hannah didn't understand why Theodore only asked for one room. But at a second thought, she decided to follow his choice. She could tell there must be a reason.
After check-in, they got the card. Then they walked into a room full of musty smell.
"Try to get used to it. There is no nice hotel in this small town." Lying on one of the bed, Theodore said to Hannah. He seemed to be used to it.
Commonly speaking, Theodore, widely known as a high-born gentleman from the Wolds, should find it quite unpleasant to stay in a place like that. Even Hannah herself felt a bit uneasy staying here even though she could bear it.
"It's okay. We are here to look for Oscar, not for holidays."
"Just take a rest. Don't worry. Both Jimmy and I will maintain a distance from you."
Of course, Hannah never worried about that.
"We will take action tonight. Now we gotta rest for it." Said Theodore.
Hannah nodded. She lay down on one of the beds.
The mattress felt hard with musty damp quilt. Frowning, Hannah still managed to close her eyes. However, Oscar's face started popping out inside her mind.
'What a man of trouble! Who did he think he was? Some kind of savior? How could he try to fight a drug dealer on his own?' Tossing and turning, Hannah felt annoyed. She felt like slapping on his face if she could. She was so worried that she lost both her sleepiness and appetite.
It was Jimmy who took the dinner back into the room. After dinner, Theodore started to get himself changed. Before they left, he handed over a black vest to Hannah. Surprised, Hannah took it over. It felt much heavier than a common vest.
"It's bullet-proof." He explained.
Her hands couldn't help shaking.
"Are you afraid?" Theodore let out a smile of scorn.
"No. I was just wondering what it was." Hannah put on the vest.
"Don't worry. Both Jimmy and I have our owns." Theodore had put it on.
But what about Oscar, she worried. She soon recollected herself and put on the vest. Then they set off.
Jimmy was still the driver. This time, they headed to the hospital.
"What are we doing in the hospital?" asked Hannah.
"We need one of them to extract information from."
"You mean one of those drug dealers?"
"Yes." Theodore nodded.
Hannah realized that Theodore was expecting a chance in the daytime.
"Are you sure anyone of them will listen to us?" asked Hannah.
"Commonly speaking, they are addictive to drugs. We can control him with drugs." Theodore explained.
Hannah nodded and proposed, "We gotta capture one of the leaders. A small fish won't know about the whereabouts of their boss."
"That's why we are gonna aim at someone important."
"Who?"
"Jason, the sub-leader among them. I noticed that from the list. So I paid special attention to him. He should be in the hospital right now, severely injured and monitored by the police." Theodore replied frankly.
"How do you know that he's the sub-leader? You have them investigated?"
"Oscar and I have them investigated before he took action."
"So he has told you about that?"
"Yes." Theodore nodded.
Hannah suddenly fell into silence.
"Don't be mad at him. Oscar won't tell you anything dangerous. But don't worry. It won't kill him." Theodore solaced her.
"It's okay. I feel like I don't wanna know who you both are."
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that you gotta remember Oscar loves you."
Soon, they reached the hospital. Fully armed, Theodore disguised himself with a white gown, "Just wait here." After that, he walked into the hospital.
Watching his back, Hannah was surprised, "Is he gonna go alone?"
"Yes." Jimmy nodded. He also seemed to be used to it.
Hannah found herself quite a bit uneasy staying in the car. About two hours later, Theodore hadn't returned.
"Hasn't he finished?" Hannah didn't want to wait any longer.
"Not so soon."
"We gotta get in."
"No, you will alert the others. And, you will trouble him."
"We just pay a visit to Thoth. I won't alert any of them. Trust me!" Hannah insisted.
After some hesitation, Jimmy agreed. He also thought that it took too long for Theodore to finish. Both Hannah and Jimmy walked into the hospital. Then they headed to Thoth's ward.
On their way there, they kept looking around to search for Theodore. However, Jimmy suddenly pushed her into a corner. With her eyes wide open, Hannah then noticed that Thoth was kidnapped by someone else.
