Chapter 286 Albie's Involved
Jeff and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Little did they know, while the doctor was tending to their injuries, he secretly implanted micro trackers on their clothes.
Sion's thoughts were interrupted as he glanced at his watch. It was about time. "David, turn on the tracker. I want to know where they're headed."
David left the office and returned shortly with his laptop which he placed on Sion's desk after a few clicks.
"Mr Carroll, it's up," David said.
Sion swivelled in his chair and quickly checked the screen before asking, "Where are they now?"
"They're heading towards the commercial centre."
The red dot on the map moved steadily along the main roads downtown before stopping at one location.
Sion stared at that spot with growing concern. Albie's company was over there. Why would those three runaways go there? Was it just a coincidence?
"Mr Carroll..." David noticed Sion's expression change and hesitated before continuing, "What should we do? They are heading for T-Shine." Sion's dark eyes seemed frozen as he remained silent for a moment.
Suddenly David remembered something else, "Oh yeah, Mr Carroll... The resort called again. Madam and Mr Dawson from Crescent Group are there..." "What?" Sion snapped back to reality, "Are you sure?"
The remote resort had not been opened yet. And there were only his people and the three controlled by him.
David nodded cautiously, "The police have taken statements from them but haven't left yet."
Thinking of those runaway criminals made him shake his head immediately, "Forget about Aurora for now, replaceing these three people is our top priority."
With that said, Sion stood up and said, "I'll go check out this commercial centre myself."
David didn't dare to delay and quickly packed up his laptop and followed behind. As soon as they got downstairs, he was about to get into the driver's seat when he heard Sion say in a cold voice, "I'll drive. I need you to keep an eye on their movements."
"Okay."
Sion drove the car at breakneck speed and arrived at T-Shine's building in no time.
The cars in the parking lot were neatly arranged. It was working hours, so no one lingered in the parking lot.
"Where is it located?"
David moved his finger on the computer twice, enlarged the origin point, frowned slightly and felt something strange. "It's still in its original location." He said as he looked around. "It should be somewhere in this underground parking lot."
Upon hearing this, Sion's expression turned stern and threatening like an angry wolf about to pounce forward. He took a step forward first towards one side of the underground parking lot with David following closely behind.
The parking lot was large but there weren't many places where someone could hide. The two of them searched for a while until they found something unusual lying on the ground near a corner-the thugs' clothes.
"No wonder why our tracker stopped moving here..."
David cursed inwardly before asking his boss what they should do now.
Sion's face darkened upon seeing that pile of clothes on the ground.
Wasn't this all too coincidental?
Aurora and Cameron appeared at the vacation resort; then after escaping, the thugs disappeared without any trace only to end up hiding out at Albie's company. These two events seemed connected by some invisible thread.
And that thread led back to Aurora.
Sion closed his eyes for a moment before turning around towards the elevator saying firmly, "Let's go upstairs."
In Albie's office room, several designers were discussing issues when suddenly there came a noise from outside which grew louder with each passing moment.
"What is going on?"
As soon as Albie spoke these words, a tall man walked into the room without knocking or waiting for permission first.
"I'm sorry Mr Doyle..." The receptionist apologized, "Mr Carroll says he has urgent business with you... I... I couldn't stop him."
"You can leave now."
Albie put down his design drafts but there wasn't much warmth left within his gaze anymore, "Mr Carroll, you came rushing into my company like this with such anger, what is it that you want?"
"Did you save those three thugs?" Sion asked sarcastically, his tone even colder than before.
"What are you talking about?" Albie hadn't expected Sion to suddenly bring up such a matter."
The confusion on his face didn't seem fake, as if he had no idea what he was talking about. Sion frowned, his scrutinizing gaze fixed on him.
"Mr Doyle, there's no need to pretend in front of me. Since you dared to do it, why not admit it?"
"How many drinks did you have today, Mr Carroll?" Albie raised an eyebrow. "What are you even talking about? I've been in meetings all day at the office and haven't had time to meet with any criminals like you said."
"It better not be you," Sion said firmly without detecting any signs of lying on his face.
"If I replace out that Morgan's kidnapping is related to you... Mr Doyle, don't blame me for being merciless."
With a fierce look, Sion turned and left without wasting any more time.
Albie watched him leave inexplicably and suspiciously wondered if the little girl by his side had been kidnapped.
At the resort, police conducted a thorough search but found nothing unusual; they couldn't even replace traces of the kidnappers.
"Could they have already escaped back into the city?" Aurora looked pale as she watched busy police officers around her.
Cameron handed her a bottle of water and felt worried seeing her pale complexion. "Don't worry too much, they won't get away with it."
For Aurora, Cameron wouldn't stop until he found the three thugs.
Aurora took a sip from the water bottle but still couldn't help feeling anxious inside.
The police approached them and greeted them before updating them on their progress, "The equipment at this resort isn't fully developed yet, so there aren't any cameras installed here. We've searched within five kilometres including these two mountains but haven't found anything yet."
Aurora's heart tightened at hearing this news. "You haven't found anything?"
How was that possible? If those people ran up into the mountains to hide out, how could there be absolutely no trace left behind?
"For now we haven't discovered anything." Replied one officer, "Thanks for your cooperation. If there is any need or you replace anything, please contact us."
After speaking briefly with them, he rushed off again, leaving Aurora feeling restless as she kicked away some stones from underfoot in frustration.
Cameron was about to speak when Aurora's phone rang.
He nodded towards her, indicating the call. "Phone."
Aurora looked at the screen.
It was Sion's call.
"How dare he call me?!" Aurora thought to herself.
