Chapter 515 Lucia Looked íor Clues on the Mountain
Once, Paul had thoughl that he had the upper hand because of Paula's car accident, he had thought that through this inciđent, Lucia vvould know August's nature and be disappointed in him; he had thought Lucla would choose to stay with him even íor Timothy and Janet.
Hovvcver, It secmcd that Augưst could still easily aííecl Lucia, making her leave Paula who received treatment in a íoreign country without hesitation, and go back to f nd AugusVs whereabouts by herselí. How important was August to her? Paul gradually didn't dare to guess. However, he had never been a person who gave up easily. Now thai the matter had come to this point, it was absolutely impossible for him to let the woman he loves most go avvayl
“Mr. Thomas. do you still want to follow?" The driver's voice came. Paul came back to his senses, raised his eyes, and looked at the car in front of him through the Window. Unexpectedly, the car had already reached the intersection of the highway in Austos City. Aíter on the expressvvay, the direction was detìmtely Evergreen ĩemple.
Now, even ií he didn't follow, Paul was sure that Lucia was defimtcly going to Evergrccn Temple, and was surely to look for August. Or August was hiding there! Paul was taken aback by the conjecture in his heart. Soon, he calmed down and said lightly to the driver, "Keep chasing."
In the meanvvhile, he picked up his cell phone and made a call. Soon, a deep voice came from the other end. "Mr. Thomas, any orders?’ i
Paul said calmly, "Archie, ru send you a location, and you come to find me immediately.’ Archie on the other end agreed without hesitation, and then hung up the phone.
Paul didn’t know if Archie was nearby. It didn't tbke long for him to drive over. Paul didn t get out of the car, so he called, Tollovv the black suv in íront. You must íollovv il closely. Call me anytime to report their vvhereabouts." Seeing Archies car overtake them and íollovv the suv closely, Paul directly ordered the driver to turn around.

Although the driver was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions, so he had to íollovv the order. “Mr. ĩhomas, where are we going now?'
Complicated emotions ílashed in Paul’s eyes, and he said in a calm tone, “Go back to the downtown and go to the Adams Group ■ Paul notiíìed Archie to come here just lo let Archie replaẹe him to follow Lucia, and he had more important things to do. These were regarding the (uture he expected, so he must make sure nothmg went wrong.
Aíter half an hour, Lucia and the others fìnal y arrived at the íoot of Evergreen Mountain. This time, they deliberately bypassed Evergreen Temple and went directly to the upper pass oí the Evergreen Mountain.
Because Evergreen Mountain was located in a remote place, and boasted the steep terrain, full of big rocks, not like the other mountains in Austos City, which were lush with flowers and trees, no developers developed the scenic spot. Thereíore. this place was alvvays desolate, with some barren hills.
Even when climbers travelled, they vvould nct choose to come to Evergreen Mountain, so there were no stairs for tourists to walk here at all Only some mountain trails trampled by nearby residents. The steep terraĩn made it even more diííicult for them to find August.
Lucia carried the mountaineering bag on her back, looked up at 1 he gloomy sky over there, íelt a little uneasy. She turned her head to look at Kylan and Zane, and said soítly, 'The vveather is bad today, so l‘m aíraid we have to be quicker. ‘Kylan and Zane understood, and aíter nodding to her, they immediately ordered their men to prepare their equipment and directly climbed the mountam.
Because they were all men, physically strong and energetic. In conlrast, Lucia, a woman, had a huge diíterence in strength with them In order to prevent her írom íalhng behind, they arranged her in the middle of the team, ad|usted the team anytime, and stopped to rest
When they were from the entrance to the middle of the mountaiíì, Kylans group stopped and started to divide up, ‘The three of you are in charge of the west, and you go lo the easl. Zane and I will continue to climb up vvith Lucia. Aíter we turn over this mountain, we gather’
’0k-
Atter dividing into groups, Kylan contmued to instruct in a low voice, "We must tollovv the original palh in the mounlain to loojc for the person, because the terrain oí Evergreen Mountam 16 steep. If they threw President Adams mto the mountam at tha! timc, they must havc laken the path." With Augusl, it was absolutely impossible íor them lo go another way.
f>0ôuse of this interence, the scope of the place they vvould look íor had been greatly reduced They only needed to search atonq the onginal path in the mountatn to determine It Hovvever, aíler more than a month and several rains, even if there were bloođstains on the ground at thai limc, thcy might not be visible now. Ilovvever, lỉ they dìdril look (or It, It was even ■ more impossible íor them to fmd clues!
Several people had made an agreement that if they encountered an accident, they would immediately call for help through the vvalkie-talkie In addition, they were all equipped with positioning Systems, so there wouldn‘t have risks in general.
Seeing Kylarís protessional instructions. Lucia secretly breathed a sigh of relieí. Aíter separating írom those subordinates, she. Kylan, and Zane continued to climb along the mountain path together. They wouldn’t stop until Crossing from here to the other side of the mountain.
Climbing a mountain was something physical aíter all. It didn't take long for Lucia to be out of breath and unable to keep up because of her physical strength. Eortunately, with the help of Zane and Kylan, she managed to climb to the top oí the mountain Along the way. they were extremely careíul about the íootprints on the path and any traces left by humans, but they didn‘1 fmd anything suspicious.
