Chapter 142: Chapter 142

Chapter 142 At 10 p.m., Nathan Cross, Penny Smith and their daughter were preparing to go to bed.

Suddenly, Penny Smith received a call from her grandfather.

“Penny Smith! You’re so cruel! I sent your uncle over to talk things out with you, and you kidnapped him?” Sean Smith yelled into the phone.

Penny Smith was shocked. “No, Grandpa, I didn’t!”

“You didn’t? Your uncle got kidnapped on the way to your house, so it definitely has something to do with you and Nathan Cross!”

“If your uncle doesn’t get home safely by tomorrow morning, I’ll bring the whole family to kneel at your doorstep and tell the whole of Channing how cruel your family is!”

Penny Smith began to panic. “Grandpa, this really has nothing to do with us, we won’t kidnap Uncle no matter what...”

However, Sean Smith was not convinced.

He hung up on her before she could even finish her sentence.

Nathan Cross frowned and asked her about what happened.

Penny Smith told him before frowning deeply. “Uncle was kidnapped by someone, and Grandpa thinks we did it.”

“He even said that he will bring the whole family to kneel before our door and get the whole of Channing to turn against us if we don’t send Uncle back by dawn tomorrow.”

“What should we do, Nathan?”

Nathan Cross looked at his agitated wife. “Don’t panic. You should get some rest with Queenie. I’ll handle it.”

He took out his phone and walked over to the balcony to give Colin Dunne a call. “Samuel Smith got kidnapped and the Smiths think I did it. Can you find out what happened?”

“Yes, Sir!” Colin Dunne answered.

Within minutes, several groups sprang into action, including hackers working for the country.

They used every method available such as hacking into online accounts, checking the footage from public and private security cameras as well as tracking the whereabouts of every passing vehicle and person.

Ten minutes was all it took for Colin Dunne to get an answer.

He called Nathan Cross immediately. “Sir, we’ve figured it out. A man that goes by the code name Ponytail kidnapped Samuel Smith with a few gunners.”

“Where did they take him to?” Nathan Cross asked.

“According to the information we retrieved, they took him to an abandoned building in the suburb in the east,” Colin Dunne answered.

“Do we rescue him?”

Nathan Cross genuinely did not care for Samuel Smith’s life. Even so, he had to intervene this time round since it could gravely impact Penny Smith’s life.

If Samuel Smith died and Sean Smith got the whole family to kneel before their doorstep, they would definitely become the target of malicious gossip for the Channing residents.

“My wife will get involved if something goes wrong here. I’ll go and check it out myself,” he said.

Nathan Cross hung up and walked back from the balcony to take his coat. “Your uncle was taken to an abandoned building. I’ll go over and take a look. You should sleep.”

Penny Smith began to worry for his safety.

She knew that Nathan Cross was not an ordinary person, but she couldn’t help but feel uneasy about it. “Let me go with you,”

she said.

Nathan Cross declined her request, saying that it would be too dangerous.

Penny Smith insisted. “He’s my uncle, so let me go with you. If I stay at home, I’ll be nothing but a panicking mess anyway.”
