She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 561

Jacob had been on the run for a long time, and he hadn't let down his guard after threatening Spencer with a good deal. Because he'd been living in a slum, he developed a state of mental tension at all times. Over these days, Jacob always felt something wrong around, but can not tell why.

Just to be on the safe side, and to test some hunches, Jacob snuck out the window of the apartment that night, climbed down the fire escape to the balcony below, and spent more than an hour on the balcony. He was found by the owner of the apartment. When Jacob was seen, he did not panic and told the owner bluntly that there seemed to be strangers looking for him upstairs, and that the owner had dealt with Jacob several times, so he really went upstairs to for him to see the situation. Ten minutes later, he came down, full of panic.

"How's it going?" Jacob could tell by the look on his face that something was wrong.

As luck would have it, the night when Jacob had a hunch, it was time for the bodyguards to make the arrest. They confirmed that Jacob returned to his apartment and waited for an hour before making the raid, but when they broke into the apartment, there was no one there. Jacob had long gone.

When they got out of the apartment to search elsewhere, they ran into another owner of the apartment. Due to the severity of the law, they had to leave quickly. It was too late to search elsewhere.

The owner of the apartment is the man who helped Jacob upstairs to check on the situation.

"Mr. Taylor, you're right. A group of masked men in black broke into your room just now! Call the police right away!" The owner said worriedly.

But Jacob shook his head. "Are you sure they're gone?" He asked

"Yes, I watched them get into the elevator and go down to the first floor," the owner said.

"Okay, thank you, but you don't have to call the police. I have a personal vendetta with these people, so it's useless to call the police. Thank you." After thanking him repeatedly, Jacob left the house and went back upstairs to observe the room in the dark for more than ten minutes. After confirming that there was no one around, he quickly went back to his room to pack up his things and turned on the computer to clear all traces before leaving.

He was so scared that he was sure they were Spencer's men. Recalling that he suddenly called him more than a month ago for a conversation, he guessed that Spencer was no longer willing to offer him asylum, even had a murderous intent.

"Spencer! You're a badass. We'll see about that!" Jacob murmured as he left San Francisco in the dark of the night.

After leaving the apartment, the head of security guiltily reported the failed mission to Otis, who was silent for a long time before saying,

"Looks like Jacob was on his guard, and Spencer's and didn't catch him too?"

"I don't think so," the head of security replied. "We had already sent people to harass the killer before we could do it. He didn't have a chance to kill Jacob."

"Got it. Keep searching for Jacob in San Francisco. Maybe he's not far away." Otis didn't channel his disappointment into anger at his bodyguards, but instead thought about what to do next.

"We'll do our best to search him!" In order to make up for the mistake, the head of the bodyguard made a solemn promise. As soon as he ended the call with Otis, his group started running around without any rest. Unfortunately, there was no trace of him. Jacob really disappeared into thin air.

Otis put down his phone, feeling extremely depressed. He had thought that Jacob would be captured this time, but he had escaped. How could he tell Lucia the news?
