Anne gave Sam, who seemed very flustered at the moment, a reassuring smile after hearing what he said.
Finally, he calmed down a little. He realized that he was just being worried for no reason. Only by going there in person would he know the real situation.
In the capital of K Country, six hours later.
The whole place was covered in snow. Although the sun was up, there was no trace of the snow melting due to the extremely low temperature.
As soon as Sam arrived at the airport, he went straight to Emily's company.
The fashion company, which was built in the center of the city, exuded an elegant feeling among its constituents. There were not a lot of people in the city, but it gave an impression of luxury and grandiosity.
Since the gates of the company were open, Sam entered without hesitation.
The moment he stepped into Emily's office, he was shocked to find Emily inside.
Unable to restrain the excitement in his heart, Sam rushed forward and hugged her, making her stunned. "I'm glad that you're fine. You scared me to death, you know?"
Emily was confused as to why he suddenly came. There must have been some misunderstanding on his part.
"I'm fine, Sam. Let go of me first. You're holding me too tight. Let's talk about what happened first," she said while struggling from his tight embrace.
Relieved, Sam let go of her at once.
"What happened? Why were you in such a hurry?" asked Emily.
"Well, I received a call from you when I was in A City. Nobody spoke at the other end of the line so I hung up. I called again, but it seemed that your device had been turned off. That made me worried so I came to see you directly." Even if she was already standing in front of him, concern was still apparent in Sam's eyes.
"I see. Well, when I left the company yesterday to go home, some thieves stole my bag. Don't worry, I wasn't hurt. I'm all right," Emily explained briefly.
After she finished speaking, an idea suddenly occurred to her. There was not much money in her bag, and those thieves moved swiftly. At the thought of this, she felt that what had happened was not a coincidence. It was premeditated.
"Hold on. They left immediately after they grabbed my bag. Normally, they would've called my parents, right? I don't understand why they called you instead," she asked with a frown.
Hearing this, Sam also felt confused. As he was in a deep thought, his phone rang unexpectedly. It was Kevin.
"Hey, what's the matter?" asked Sam.
But when he heard the voice over there, his expression became stern. "I'll be right back."
Emily was a little reluctant to see Sam leaving as soon as he came. "What's wrong? You just arrived."
With a solemn expression on his face, he replied, "Something happened to Anne."
The news was shocking for Emily, who immediately took her bag with her. "I'll go with you."
The two looked at each other in tacit understanding. They were thinking about the same thing. Apparently, what was happening seemed to be planned. Sam even felt that they had unconsciously fallen into a trap.
The office of the AN Group seemed to be lifeless. Although there were several people wandering around, nobody dared to go inside. This was because Kevin was surrounded by an incandescent aura that nobody wanted to get near him.
At that moment, he was at his table. His eyes were bloodshot from fatigue, yet rest did not seem to cross his mind. In fact, he had not closed his eyes ever since Anne had disappeared. To make things worse, he had just come back.
"Mr. Kevin." It was now time to report about the investigation. His assistant came in and looked at him hesitantly.
"Have you found out all the required data and contact information of the head of K Country?" asked Kevin in a cold tone.
"Yes, I have. But Mr. Kevin, I think you should take a rest," suggested the assistant.
"Just shut up and go back to work," scolded Kevin.
He rested inside his office for about fifteen minutes. After that, he decided to grab his keys and go to the airport.
Anne disappeared there. Kevin figured that there might be a clue regarding her sudden disappearance there. The possibility of her being in danger scared him out of his wits.
Never in his life had he felt afraid of anything until now.
In the monitoring room of the airport.
Normally, this room was silent and empty. After all, there were not a lot of important things that were needed to be checked always.
But today, the monitoring room was a bit cramped with people. Kevin's wife had disappeared, which was major news. Nobody dared to offend Kevin. They could not help but hope he would reduce the airport's punishment for their negligence.
"Have you found anything?" Kevin asked as soon as he came.
