Amosâ small shout immediately attracted Eudora and Harleyâs attention. They quickly put their thoughts away.
âHere!â Amos pointed to a position on the screen. âZoom in here!â
Harley immediately followed as told. After zooming in, he saw a large trash bin on the screen. A garbage collector was taking out the trash.
Harley was stunned. âYou mean, someone took Juju out in a trash can?â
âThatâs the only possibility!â Amos said. âAnd, as far as I know, garbage collectors usually donât come around this time!â
âYes!â Harley exclaimed, making sense of the situation. âAmos, youâre pretty good at this stuff. I suddenly feel that you are more suitable to be a policeman than I am! I am going to find out who that person is right now.â
âIâm coming with you!â Eudora said hurriedly.
âNo, I think itâll be better that you stay here!â Harley Louis said. âYouâll scare them away if there are too many of us. Itâs not worth it.â
Eudoraâs growing anxiety for Juju clouded her mind. After thinking about it, she nodded her head.
After Harley left, only Eudora and Amos were left in the room. Amos pursed his lips and said after a long time, âDonât worry, everything will be alright!â
While they were talking, Harley had brought over the garbage collector. Seeing that there were two more people in the room, she said hurriedly, âI donât know! I donât know anything!â
Harley grabbed her wrist, âBe honest!â
The woman couldnât run away, so she turned around and said, âI swear, I donât know anything!â
Harley ignored her and quickly opened the trash bin. At a glance, Eudora saw a hairclip in the bin. It was Jujuâs!
âWhere is the girl?â Harleyâs eyes darkened, and he snarled. âWhere did you bring her to?â
The garbage collector was scared out of her wits. âWhat girl? Iâm just a garbage collector!â
âWhy is there a hairclip in the trash can then? Donât play dumb with me! Otherwise, Iâll arrest you and bring you to the police station!â
As soon as she heard that they were going to the police station, the garbage collector finally panicked. âWell, Iâll tell you, donât send me to the police!â
âThen spill it!â Harley said. âOnce you tell me, I wonât send you to the police station.â
The garbage collector said, âItâs a guy. He said heâs the schoolâs gardener. Since thereâre so many flowers in the parterre, he wanted to sell some of them, but he was afraid of being discovered. He told me as long as I put them in my trash bin and took it out, he would give me 5, 000 dollars as a reward.â
âYou are lying!â Harleyâs eyes widened, and the garbage collector was scared to death. âIâm telling the truth. The garden is currently under renovation. You can go and have a look!â
Harley snorted. âOf course Iâll do that.â
Harley swiftly went out, and after a while, he brought back another man. âIs this him?â
The garbage collector was stunned. âNot this gardenerâ¦â
âThereâs only one gardener. Think about it properly and tell me.â
âItâs really not him. That guy is shorter and looks a little thinner. He was wearing a mask and a hatâ¦â
At this point, everything seemed clear. Someone must have kidnapped Juju. In order not to expose himself, he had hired the gardener and the garbage collector as part of his fraud.
Of course, Eudora and Amos also thought of this, and hence they looked even more worried. Who knew what happened to Juju after she was kidnapped?
The garbage collector was about to leave when Harley stopped her. âYouâre not allowed to leave. Follow me to the police station and assist in the investigation.â
Then, he turned to look at Eudora and Amos. âIâll help you make a report, and Iâll start the investigation right away.â
Eudoraâs heart was uneasy, and she felt that something was off.
When she was hesitating whether to nod or not, her cell phone suddenly rang, and she hurried to answer her phone. There was a very strange voice from the other end.
The reason why it sounded very strange was not that it was unpleasant, but because the voice had been altered with a voice changer, so it sounded like a robot.
âIs this Eudora George?â The voice said.
âWho are you?â Eudoraâs scalp felt numb. The next second, Amos took her mobile phone and turned on the loudspeaker.
âYou donât have to know who I am. You just need to know that your daughter is in my hands now. Donât call the police, or I will kill her immediately!â
Eudora almost stopped breathing, âWhy should I believe you?â
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Jujuâs voice, âMommy!â
Eudoraâs heart ached. âI wonât call the police! Iâll listen to everything you say. Please donât hurt my daughter.â
âThatâs good!â The person on the other end said with a laugh, sounding very happy.
âPrepare ten million dollars for me. Bring the money to Global Plaza in Rosaville City tonight at 11 oâclock. See you!â
After that, the call went dead.
Eudoraâs heart sank. She wanted to dial the number again and found that it had been deliberately changed. The original number was unavailable, and there was no way she could call back.
Harley gritted his teeth. âKidnapping! Donât worry, Iâll help you.â
Amos hurriedly stopped Harley and said, âItâs not that simple. If itâs really just kidnapping and extortion, why not go someplace further to trade? They planned to meet right in the city, isnât that too dangerous? I feel that something is wrong. Eudora, donât be impulsive.â
Eudora had completely calmed down. At the very least, she now knew where Juju was and how to save her.
âThank you all. I know what to do next!â
After that, Eudora got up and walked out of the door.
Harley said hurriedly, âsister-in-law, itâs too dangerous for you to do this. That person canât be trusted!â
Eudora was stunned and turned back to look at Harley. Only now did Harley realized he had accidentally referred to her as âsister-in-lawâ amidst the chaos.
Harley pursed his lips and said, âIâm sorry, but Iâm a policeman. Itâs my duty to protect the citizens. Leave it to me!â
Eudora shook her head. âSince I did not call the police, then this has nothing to do with you.â
After that, she quickly ran out. Harley was about to run after her, but Amos raised his hand and stopped him.
âOnce she made up her mind, you wouldnât be able to persuade her at all. Her temper is still the same. You should bring the garbage collector back to the police station first. Weâll meet nearby the meetup point tonight.â
Harley realized that he was still not as calm as Amos. At this crucial moment, it was not easy for him to remain clear-headed.
âAlright!â Harley hurriedly got up and took the woman out.
Amos stayed alone in the room for two minutes before he shouted, âCharlie!â
Suddenly, Charlie Feld appeared out of nowhere. âPresident Granger.â
âFollow Eudora and protect her. Remember, you cannot let anybody know that you are there. Wait for an opportunity to rescue Juju.â
Charlie was a little hesitant. âBut then youâreâ¦â
Amos shook his head. âDonât worry about me.â
With a brief nod, Charlie left just as quickly as he had appeared.
When he saw that Charlie was gone, Amosâs face slowly turned cold. No matter who the person was, since they dared to touch his woman, they were obviously digging their own graves.
Thinking of this, Amos sneered. Then he got into his car and left.
