V Chapter 102 was a crying mess at the end of an ominous phone call, my heart was about to burst with gnawing pain and despair. It was hard for me to imagine what that monster did to my kid, her painful cries didnât let me think anything else.
Firstly, I requested officer Nolan to leave, he was imposing great danger over my little girlâs wellbeing.
âThank you so much for your help, Officer. I will take it from here. You can go back.â
Officer Nolan was on call, so his fellow police man explained the situation.
âItâs not as simple as it seems, Miss Laura. From what I have understood from this call, these criminals are from the terrorist group, extorting money from rich people is their profession.
Using cryptocurrency is safe for them as no one tracks their digital footsteps. So, whatâs the guarantee they will return your daughter after receiving money?
What if they keep her as a golden bird and ask for more money from you?â
Officer Josephâs statement made perfect sense, revealing the evil motives behind this kidnapping. But my heart wasnât at ease, I felt restless as Janeâs screeches kept echoing in my mind.
âBut you heard him, he will harm my little girl if I call for your help.â
Meanwhile, officer Nolan was free from the call, he assured me, âI have talked to the national database center; the cellular company was successful in tracking the location of the caller.
Donât worry, Miss Laura. We will rescue Jane as soon as possible.â
According to the police, Jane was held captive in a warehouse, located in the suburbs of the city. All quick response units were set off to free her within five minutes.
Although I wanted to go with them, the officers didnât allow me. Bright drove me to the Chapter 103 police station for the latest updates. Call it my paranoid nature or motherly instinct, there was a nagging sensation in my chest that there was something fishy in this whole predicament.
So, as a precautionary measure, I contacted my assistant despite Brightâs advice. He thought. that it wasnât safe to tell more people.
But I asked for the exact amount needed, âBrandon, how much USD is equal to five hundred bitcoins?â
He brought the IT departments in charge on call, he did the calculations for me..
âMaâam, itâs roughly fifty million dollars!â
What?
Because of my lack of knowledge, I didnât realize that the abductors had demanded a hefty amount for ransom. As I didnât have such sum of money, I called Henry.
âBrother, how much cash do you have on hand?â
Henry was puzzled by my strange request; he questioned me worriedly.
âWhat happened to you, Laura? Is everything alright?â
My brotherâs concerned tone broke all the bounds of restraints, I wailed in agony.
âJane has been kidnapped, brother. And they have demanded five hundred bitcoins as ransom.â
As we started discussing money arrangements, Bright chimed in and took the cell phone from my hand.
âListen, Henry.
Thereâs no need for money. The police officers are on their way to rescue Jane. They will definitely arrest those criminals.â
Bright then reported Henry about the incident, but my brother wasnât convinced, he supported my idea.

âWe should be prepared for every kind of situation, Bright. Itâs a critical matter!
We canât put Janeâs life in danger for some buck Henry comforted me regarding money trouble and then pointed out an issue that I had totally ignored due to grief.
Laura, I remember that you have bought a brand new model of smartwatch for Jane. The salesman bragged about its advanced features a length.
Wasnât the location tracking feature included in this deal?â
Shoot!
The solution to my grave problem was right in front of my eyes, and I couldnât see it, disregarding such a significant detail. I swiftly disconnected the call and spoke.
âCan you please help me to track my daughterâs smartwatchâs location?â
The officers in the police station were alerted to hear a new clue for investigation, they got to work immediately. Bright wrapped his arm around my shoulders and consoled me.
âPlease relax, Laura. The police officers are doing their best. Jane will be with us in no time.â
He offered me a glass of water and wiped my tears, standing by my side in this tough time. I felt safe in his presence. Soon, Henry also reached the police station, he came with his legal team.
âWhat is taking you so long to track a smartwatch? And why isnât there any news from the official team?â
The Green familyâs close relationship with the police chief quickened the process, we got a report in five minutes.
âThe officers are searching for that warehouse. There will be good news...â
A nerd in a police uniform barged into the chiefâs office and interrupted the report.
âThere must be a problem in the tracking system, Sir. We received the call from the warehouse, but Janeâs smartwatch is hinting towards an abandoned railway shack in the South Chapter 103
