“You should've noticed something when you were driving, right? Their intention is obvious. It seems to me they've been following your woman for a long time. You must have missed them when you were driving." Percy rubbed his chin as he analyzed the situation.
Luke was good at counter-reconnaissance. He would have noticed a van following him from the office to the hotel.
Luke kept silent for a moment. He was trying to recall what had happened last night.
He was silent when he was driving, and he did not talk much to Luca. He would have noticed something if there was anything unusual.
However, he was unaware of the things around him last night.
There were only two possibilities based on the given situation. First, the kidnappers began to follow Luca at the hotel.
Still, that was unlikely to happen. After all, the kidnappers would not have known Luca's whereabouts.
The second possibility was that the driver was good at reconnaissance, so they succeeded in going unnoticed by Luke.
Luke got even more anxious at the thought it may be the second possibility.
If Luca was kidnapped by someone so good at reconnaissance, she must be suffering a lot right now. Moreover, she had been missing for the whole night. He did not receive any calls, and no one knew Luca's real identity other than him.
They still could not figure out the other party's purpose in kidnapping her.
Percy knew Luke did not notice anything amiss last night when he remained silent. Otherwise, he would have said something.
Percy said, "Although the van is slightly more expensive than normal vans, they're still commonly seen on the road. It'll be a little difficult to find out who bought the van."
Luke clenched his fists. "I have to find Luca as soon as possible."
"Don't worry. I'll help you." Percy knew how much Luca meant to him.
A woman who was missing for three years and whose life and death was unknown had suddenly come back to him. Before Luke could even immerse himself in the happiness of gaining something precious back, she was kidnapped.
It must be tough for him.
Percy stood up and said, "I'll send my men to investigate it. Don't rush. I'm sure we can find her."
Finding her would not be a problem, but it was unknown what state Luca would be in when they found her.
Luke had no idea how much she had suffered during those three years. He was thinking of finding out the mastermind behind her and giving her a better life. However, she was kidnapped by someone before he managed to find out anything.
"Oh, aren't you suspecting that there's someone behind her manipulating things?" Percy suddenly thought of it. "I'm guessing that person isn't someone simple. Why don't you take the opportunity to dig up something this time?"
Luke understood what Percy meant. He wanted him to spread the news that Luca had been kidnapped.
It was to inform the organization behind her that she had been kidnapped. They would investigate the matter after knowing that she was kidnapped since they had put in so much effort to place her beside him.
Moreover, the organization behind Luca was powerful and influential. Otherwise, they could not have done so much.
It was not a bad idea to find Luca while borrowing the power of others. Luke would be able to secretly observe when the other party started their investigation. He could probably dig up something.
“I'll leave this to the police,” said Luke. The news must be released from the officials to convince the organization behind Luca.
He acted fast by asking the police to write a press release and announce the news that Luca had been kidnapped. Then, he asked the police to inform the public that they were looking for the people who were at the scene yesterday to provide testimonies.
Luke sat opposite Percy. They were facing each other after Luke was done doing everything. They were waiting for the police to make the announcement.
“Look at how troubled you are. Do you want to go for a drink tonight?” Percy invited. Text content © .
“Is it me or you who's troubled?" Luke went straight to the point.
Percy was at a loss for words after Luke questioned him like that. He was indeed worried about his plans not going well. Now, there were more things to do and he had to wait longer.
He could wait, but he was afraid Nina could not wait any longer.
Percy refused to force Nina to stay beside him, so he planned to wait until the problems here were solved until he contacted Nina.
However, as time went by, he was even more afraid of losing her.
“Since I'm helping you investigate this, you won't mind drinking with me, right? You can just sit there if you don't want to drink," said Percy.
“Sure." Luke agreed.
Although Luca's matter was important, they were without clues now. All they could do was to wait.
The police released the news through their official channels half an hour later.
Sue saw the news in the evening. After confirming with Jason that Luca was really kidnapped and did not come to the office for work, she told Nina about it.
After Nina heard what Sue told her, what Pierre said to her came across her mind.
He told her that he would lay his hands on the people around her.
Anna and Jean were still recovering in the hospital. They were fine. The nurses did not inform her about anything else either. Could it be that the person he was talking about was Luca?
Nina immediately searched online after she hung up the call with Sue. She watched the video of Luca getting abducted into a van.
It caught her off guard, so Luca could not put up a fight.
She was not able to defend herself when it happened so suddenly. It did not matter how good she was at self-defense.
Nina saw the news released by the police calling for people who were at the scene to help in their investigation and to head to the police station to make a statement. She called Pierre right away
without hesitation.
She was able to get through to him, but he did not answer the call.
Nina clenched her teeth. In her mind, Pierre did it intentionally. She made another call to ask Pierre about it. She wanted to know whether he had anything to do with it.
This time, her call was hung up in a second.
Nina knew he was doing it on purpose. There was an 80 percent chance that he had something to do with Luca's kidnapping.
She wanted to call the police and tell them her speculation. However, it was merely a guess, and Pierre was not beside her now. The police would not believe what she said even if she told them.
Not to mention she did not record what Pierre told her when he came looking for trouble with her yesterday.
The police would not believe anything she said. They would not dare to investigate someone like Pierre Mallory either.
Nina took a deep breath. She was worried about Luca, so eventually, she decided to ask for Luke's help.
Luke and Percy were the only people left who could help Luca.
However, she refused to ask for Percy's help.
Nina dialed Luke's phone number.
The call was answered after it rang a few times, and she spoke at once, "Mr. Crawford, I've got something to tell you. It's about Luca."
Luca?
Luke glanced at Percy, who was drinking to drown his sorrows. It seemed like he was depressed because of his family affairs and Nina.
He replied, "I'm at Bibbler's Tale. Come over and tell them my name. Someone will lead you into the private room here."
