Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 482

When the traffic cops and detectives caught sight of Ludwik striding towards them, a visible tension crept into their expressions.

“This is Four Bridges in Emperor City, a secluded spot, so there’s hardly any traffic. This turn is one-way, accidents are rare here, and there’s no surveillance. The next camera is a mile away…”

“Pull the footage from cameras at both ends of this road, and do it fast. Find any suspicious vehicles. And before the accident, where did Whitney’s car stop? I want every stop tracked!” Ludwik barked out the orders.

Parker frowned, “Ludwik, do you think the person who tampered with her car is the same as the one who pushed her off the bridge and kidnapped her?”

“I’m not sure,” Ludwik’s voice was laced with anxiety, “Saving her is what matters now!”

The traffic cop nodded and hurriedly got into the squad car to access the networked surveillance.

But then the officer received another call, this time from a senior official at the transportation department, “Captain, just help Ludwik with the post-accident surveillance. For the footage before the accident... the part where her car was parked at the bar’s lot, erase that.”

Sweat beaded on the traffic captain’s forehead, “Sir… You dare deceive Ludwik?”

“We have no choice, it’s an internal struggle within the Lippert Group. Just do it!”

After hanging up, the official quickly called Thea back…

Ludwik stood in front of the squad car, and soon, the traffic captain brought over a segment of surveillance footage.

“We found a suspicious Volvo at the next intersection after the accident, weaving erratically on the road.”

Ludwik immediately played the video.

In the blurry footage, the black Volvo zigzagged as if someone was fighting over the steering wheel. Ludwik paused the video and zoomed in, spotting a slender woman’s hand briefly appearing out the window before being yanked back inside.

“It’s Whitney!” Ludwik didn’t need to guess.

Parker was relieved, “Thank heavens she’s smart, fighting for the steering wheel and showing her arm.”

“She knew I would see it.” Ludwik’s lips curled up.

Parker scoffed, “She did it for me! You weren’t supposed to come.”

Ludwik sighed. He wasn’t supposed to come? How could he not? The moment he knew she was in danger, his heart felt like it had lost a piece.

“Trace the Volvo’s movements and send it to my phone.” Ludwik swiftly got into his car, Parker following.

The Volvo was last seen near a distillery on the outskirts of Emperor City. There were two roads there; one led into the distillery estate, and the other bypassed it, speeding away.
