The police also reported on the inspection of nearby surveillance. Despite being a small town, it wasn't quite dead at night. The hotel my dad stayed at was the newest star-rated establishment, with cars coming and going.
After a thorough investigation, they finally identified a black Audi parked in front of the hotel during that time frame. However, it was parked at such a tricky angle that one couldn't see the person coming out the door. That car's license plate belonged to our small town, but upon further investigation, it turned out to be a fake.
It seemed like this was a well-planned and premeditated incident. We were anxiously awaiting the latest clues from the investigating officers.
Just at that moment, my phone rang again.
I quickly said to everyone, "It's that unknown number."
Atlas reached over and took my phone, then turned on the speaker.
The next second, the modulated voice echoed again. "Ms. Chloe, it seems you don't care about your father's safety, collaborating with the police as soon as you arrive. Aren't you afraid I'll be unfriendly to him?"
I instantly felt myself tense up and nervously looked at Atlas.
Atlas's handsome face remained expressionless.
"It's good that you know. How dare you harm my family? You should be careful. If anything happens to my father-in-law, I'll make sure you regret it."
Upon hearing Atlas's voice, the other party turned sinister, "I just want that notebook! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless! Don't forget, the eight hours I mentioned is almost up!"
After saying that, the call was disconnected, followed by a dial tone.
Everyone exchanged silent glances.
Atlas said, "Get ready. The next time they call, try to trace their location."
The executive who received us immediately arranged for the police's computer experts to prepare.
"It seems they are tracking our movements. How did they know we were with the police as soon as we arrived?" I looked at Atlas and said.
Atlas didn't respond. He glanced at Cane, and Cane immediately turned and left.
