Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 699

Since the surveillance footage in the hospital was temporarily inaccessible, the increasingly anxious Elspeth had no choice but to think of another way. In a sudden realization, she hurriedly ran outside the hospital and discovered a small shop across the street.

Spotting the prominently displayed surveillance camera above the shop, she promptly approached the owner to inquire about viewing the footage. “I apologize for the inconvenience, but my son has gone missing and I was wondering if I could review your surveillance footage. Is that possible?”

The kind-hearted shop owner with a gentle demeanor nodded upon witnessing Elspeth’s urgency. “Please go ahead. The computer is right over there.”

With that, Elspeth accessed the surveillance footage and indeed managed to obtain a clear view of the activities taking place outside the hospital. She meticulously examined the footage for that particular period but failed to spot a child around the age of five or six.

Observing Elspeth’s persistent frown, the woman kindly offered a few words of advice. “Miss, don’t just focus on finding the child. Human traffickers are quite prevalent these days. It’s possible that the child was concealed in a box or bag and taken away.”

Those words served as a reminder for Elspeth. She carefully reviewed the footage once again and, sure enough, at around 3.30PM, she noticed a suspicious-looking man carrying a large suitcase. After exiting the building, he glanced around and swiftly placed the suitcase in a car. However, instead of leaving, he leaned into the vehicle and moved something around before shutting the door. Ten minutes later, the car departed toward the west.

If she had guessed correctly, it was likely that the man was releasing someone from the suitcase. The thought of her child being confined in such a manner while injured pained Elspeth deeply. She then jotted down the license plate number and dialed a familiar number that she had memorized.

“Hello, who is this?” The familiar voice sounded puzzled.

“Harper. I need your help urgently.” Elspeth’s voice quivered as if she had made a significant decision.

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Harper leaped up from the couch in excitement. “Elspeth, it’s you! Have you regained your memory?” Finally, Elspeth remembers! Harper was elated, knowing that all his years of searching had not been in vain

“Yes, it’s me. However, we don’t have time to discuss it now. I need your help with something.”

Recognizing the seriousness in her tone, the smile on Harper’s face vanished as he knew that something major had happened. “What’s the matter? Elspeth, just tell me, I’ll definitely assist you,” he asked earnestly.

“My son has gone missing, and based on my analysis, he has been kidnapped.”

Upon hearing this, Harper was shocked. “Do you have any idea who might have kidnapped him?”

“I don’t have clear information for now. I’m uncertain of who I may have offended or who might have abducted him.” Elspeth took a deep breath before continuing, “All I have is a license plate number and a rough description of the person’s face. I’m sending you the photo now. I need you to analyze it and identify this person’s identity and the owner of the vehicle with that license plate.”
