Carl saw that it was getting late and prepared to tell Victoria that it was time to go back.
After a whole day, Victoria had already helped solve the difficult problems of the archaeological team, and the remaining work could be completed by the staff of the archaeological team.
But when Carl looked around, she couldn't find anyone.
It was getting dark today, where did Victoria go?
Carl called Victoria, but no one answered even until the call was automatically disconnected. What's going on?
Carl couldn't help but frown, turned around, found Director Krav, and asked in a deep voice, "Director Krav, have you seen Victoria?"
Director Krav was holding a notebook recording something, and when he heard the words, he raised his hand and pointed to the right rear, "I saw Victoria go over there to make a call earlier, she should be over there, let me take you there."
The two walked over and looked around, but still didn't see anyone.
"Victoria?"
Carl shouted but still got no response.
Carl's heart sank, and he panicked for a moment. He called Victoria's phone again and heard the ringtone ringing nearby.
Following the sound, Director Krav saw a bright light in the darkness and hurriedly said, "Over there!"
Carl walked over quickly and saw Victoria's phone on the ground. The phone screen lit up in the dark because of his call.
The phone was on the ground, but where was she?
Carl's heart suddenly sank, and he immediately bent down to pick up Victoria's phone!
...
Imperial Gardens, study.
Jack sat behind his desk with a cold expression, approving a contract for an important project, flipping to the last page, holding a pen, ready to sign.
Just as he wrote two strokes, there was a sudden stab of pain in his heart.
The man's writing finger suddenly stopped, his mind became chaotic for no reason, and the pen stayed on the paper for a long time without moving, a black ink spot spreading.
Jack frowned, threw the pen aside, picked up his phone to check the time, and realized that Victoria should be boarding the plane by now.
He hesitated for two seconds and decided to give her a call.
But before he could make the call, his phone rang, it was a call from Carl.
Jack casually answered.
"Brother!" Carl's panicked voice came through the receiver, "Something happened! Victoria is missing! I looked around but couldn't find her..."
As soon as Carl finished speaking, he felt the overwhelming chill and oppression through the phone. He swallowed hard in fear, and his forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
Jack's aura seemed to be enveloped in a chilling cold, and his voice instantly became extremely low: "Tell me the specific situation."
At this moment, Carl dared not hide anything and blurted out everything: "I just searched around but couldn't find Victoria. I only found her phone dropped on the ground. I suspect someone took her away, but there are no surveillance cameras here, so we can't find out who it was..."
"I searched the area but didn't find any signs of struggle. When Victoria disappeared, I didn't hear her calling out to me. I guess those people might have knives or guns. Victoria was taken away by force. If they have guns, they're definitely not ordinary people..."
"Brother, I suddenly remembered the kidnapping of Elizabeth before, but now Lucas and Amelia are both in prison, they couldn't have hired thugs to kidnap Victoria. Could it be someone else..."
Carl's brows tightened, and he was so anxious that he wanted to curse, "Who has a grudge against Victoria? There's not even a surveillance camera here. I feel like a headless fly, with no clue..."
Jack's eyes were intimidatingly cold, and a figure gradually appeared in front of him...
After hanging up the phone, Jack suddenly stood up, strode out, and at the same time dialed Jamal's number: "What's the situation with Willow?"
Jamal reported, "Mr. Moore, our people have been secretly monitoring Willow. She has been very quiet recently and has not left the capital. We have also monitored her phone, and she has not made any suspicious calls. Even Elon Duke has not been in contact recently."
Jack's face was as cold as frost: "Are you sure?"
Willow figured this out and relaxed slightly, intending to call Scarface again, but suddenly heard a loud knocking on the door outside.
The person seemed not easy to deal with.
Who?
Willow's face changed slightly. She put the old phone back in the drawer, turned around, and cautiously looked out through the peephole.
Seeing a few tall and burly men standing outside the door, Willow's heart jumped.
Who were these people?
Why would they come to her?
Willow frowned slightly, looked again, and suddenly her pupils shrank. She saw that man... who often appeared in her dreams...
The man's figure was like jade, his shirt was snow-white, and his whole body exuded a noble aura. Just by standing there casually, everyone around him became his foil...
Willow was first stunned, and then her eyes burst into surprise.
He...
Why was he here?
Willow's heart beat like thunder for an instant, nervously wanting to open the door immediately, but then remembered something, quickly raised her hand to tidy up her hair, straightened her clothes, glanced at the nearby dressing mirror to make sure her image was flawless, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
The desire to maintain a perfect image in front of the man she admired made Willow tidy up her hair again before opening the door quietly.
"Mr. Moore..."
Halfway through the gentle greeting, two bodyguards rushed in one on the left and one on the right, pinning her down.
Willow subconsciously struggled, but couldn't break free at all. She looked up at the man, bit her lower lip, and looked gentle and aggrieved, "Mr. Moore, what do you mean by this?"
