After a minute, the results was out.
Seeing the authentication results, Ethen was practically overflowing with excitement.
âMr. Graham, the results are out! Itâs a ninety-one percent match!â
That was a considerably high similarity index.
Benjaminâs eyes lit up.
âArrange more men to sweep the place!â
âRoger that!â Ethen promptly gathered more men to continue the search.
Stepping out of the car, Benjamin stood along the streets in the unfamiliar village. There was barely anyone within his line of vision.
He strode toward the direction of the police station.
On the other side, at Yaleview, Arissa did not sleep the entire night either. She had been searching for leads regarding her missing child and simultaneously tracking Benjaminâs movements.
Realizing that Benjamin was at Rutaceae Village, she was perplexed.
Why is he there? Could it be that he has found leads about our child?
Her eyes brightened up at that thought, and immediately, she made a call to Benjamin.
Benjaminâs phone rang just as he arrived at the police station.
He stilled. Why is she calling at this hour?
After a brief hesitation, he answered the call.
âBenjamin!â Arissa exclaimed over the phone.
âYes? What is it that youâre calling me so early?â
Benjamin scrunched his brows. Donât tell me she didnât sleep for the whole night?
âW-Where did you go?â As soon as Arissa blurted out those words, a surge of embarrassment washed over her as it seemed almost like she was checking on him.
She quickly changed her stance and said, âYou didnât come home. What are you so busy with?â
Benjamin put one hand in his pocket and curled the corners of his lips into a satisfied smile.
âAre you concerned about me?â
Arissa pursed her lips and brushed him off with another question. âWhere are you now?â
âIâm away on a business trip, so I wonât be back that soon.â
Although Benjamin did not update her on where he was, she knew well about his whereabouts.
âOh,â she murmured in acknowledgement.
How dare he still lie to me?
âDid you manage to find some clues about the child?â she quickly asked.
âNot yet.â
He surveyed the surroundings, intending to tell her after finding Tim.
Arissa frowned and shot him another question.
âThe footage before Danna brought Gavin to look for you; were you the one who deleted it?â
A glint flashed across Benjaminâs eyes at once. Little did he expect her investigation to progress so quickly.
âNo,â he denied.
Indeed, he was not the one who deleted it, but Ethen.
Arissa was almost confident he was the culprit, yet the man denied it so straightforwardly that it caught her slightly off guard.
Was it really not him?
âDid you not sleep last night?â The manâs deep voice, which contained a trace of concern, sounded from the other end of the call.
âI did. I just woke up a while ago,â Arissa casually answered. âAnyway, thatâs all for now. Iâm hanging up now.â
With that, she hung up promptly but remained seated, unable to grasp the entire situation.
If it wasnât Benjamin, then who could it be? Or was he lying just now?
A turmoil of emotions weighed down upon her.
Meanwhile, Benjamin tucked his phone away and headed into the superintendentâs office.
Learning that Tim was there to file a police report, especially that it was against Raphael for abusing Mary and him, the intimidating look on Benjaminâs face grew intense, and a spine-chilling malicious glint flashed in his eyes.
All the others present dared not go near.
They thought the man would do something, but it turned out otherwise.
âMr. Graham, we havenât found the boy. Thereâs no news from the hotel and hospital!â Ethen had made his way over, and the moment he caught sight of Benjamin walking out of the police station, he rushed forward to report their search progress.
Benjaminâs expression turned grim. âIâve exchanged a brief greeting with them. Theyâll be dispatching some men to lock down the place before searching. Go and liaise with them.â
He did not bring enough men over to the village this round. Therefore, he had to rely on the locals for help.
âGot it!â
Just as Ethen was about to step in, Benjamin stopped him and ordered coldly, âTeach Raphael a lesson for me. And make sure he stays in there!â
Ethen nodded in reply and sped off the make the necessary arrangements.
With his eyes fixed on the gradually increasing crowd along the streets in the village, Benjaminâs eyebrows drew together.
Where could that kid have gone?
At the same time, Tim spotted some bodyguards combing the area looking for someone. Their aggressive and dour appearances instantly convinced him that they were just like Raphael.
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 436 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You What further reinforced his perception was when he vaguely heard those men questioning the public about Mary and his whereabouts. Immense astonishment engulfed him as he thought they were acting under Raphaelâs commands.
Without delay, he sped to find the nurses and patients who had seen him before.
