Chapter 374 Same person

Leah initially desired to contact Serena or Donald.

Unfortunately, there was no signal inside the cold storage, and only emergency calls were enabled.

She had no choice but to call the police.

“Sorry, the number you dialed is busy…”

All of the emergency lines were busy, no matter how many times she tried to call other branches.

She was in poor health, and her hands were so cold that they were numb.

Leah squatted helplessly on the floor, afraid of running out of breath, and hammered feebly on the coldstorage door.

“Let me out…” she shrieked.

A solid sound from the cold storage door demonstrated that the sound insulation effect was good.

Serena, who hadn’t seen her in a long time, panicked as half an hour flew by.

Her right eyelid twitched, and she was restless due to strong uneasiness.

She dialed Leah’s number to alleviate her anxiety. However, all that was heard was a cold system voice

saying that no one had answered.

She panicked and quickly contacted others to assist in her search.

Her fingertip landed on Shawn’s contact in the address book, but she chose Han instead.

Serena thought Han wouldn’t be a bad person at all, looking at the way he kept the secret of Alfred’sdeath from Sarah,

“What’s the matter?”, Han inquired coldly not long after the phone call was connected.

“Sarah appears to have vanished. She said she went out to get food and hasn’t returned, and herphone isn’t working. Can you assist me in locating her?” Serena explained clearly and was on theverge of crying.

“Got it,” Han replied instantly.

Serena was unable to remain calm following the phone call. She ripped off the cannula and rolled outof bed as quickly as she could.

Her head became dizzy as a result of the excessive range of motion.

She had intended to replace Leah at first but changed her mind shortly after sprang out of the hospital.

Something wasn’t right!

Serena reasoned carefully that whoever was after Sarah would undoubtedly replace her as well.

If she went out looking for Sarah defenseless, she would have squandered her chances of survival.

The most important thing she needed to do now protected herself to save Sarah.

As a result, Serena took a cab to the police station.

She had to hide out in the police station for a while, whether they came after her or not.

Her intuition was right. As soon as she stepped into the cab, several nurses broke into her room underthe guise of making the rounds.

The fake nurses' faces darkened as they looked at the empty beds, "She ran away? Turn on thesurveillance and quickly bring her back to the higher-ups! Otherwise, it's not going to end well for us."

…

As soon as Shawn finished the meeting, his assistant stopped him.

"Boss, something doesn't seem right with Ms. White. Our bodyguards on the sly discovered that shehad entered a restaurant and had not yet exited." His assistant informed him.

"Do you need to ask me about this?" "Do bodyguards serve no purpose?" Shawn was in bellicose form.

The strong coercion caused the assistant to break out in a cold sweat, "Forgive me, boss. It's just thatthe circumstances are unique right now."

"I have considered that Mr.Ford has the plan to cooperate with Mr. Hendrik, but he appears to beinvolved with Ms. White. I’m afraid that saving Ms. White will arouse his hostility." His assistant worried.

"Right. The whole Linkville knows she's Ms. Ford, there's no reason why Hendrik shouldn't know,"Shawn frowned.

Finally, he ordered the bodyguards to rescue Leah.

When his bodyguards arrived, Leah had already been rescued.

"Mr. Ford, all of the surveillance cameras in the area were disrupted and unable to function normally, sowe didn't get any footage of who took Ms. White away." The bodyguards revealed.

“Bang!” This wasn't what Shawn wanted to hear, and he slammed down all the documents on the table.

"Is there any news about Han?" His eyes were cold.

He couldn't think of anyone else with such exceptional ability, except for Han Howard.

"Nothing new, saying he was on a business trip in another city." His assistant responded politely.

"According to our replaceings, Mr. Hendrik could be the one behind this incident. He has, after all, arrivedin Linkville..."

"Hendrik?" Shawn's expression changed.

Seemed like the rumor was true about Hendrik falling for Sarah.

"Darn it!" he grumbled.

He planned to cooperate with either Hendrik or Han and achieved his goal of controlling one side andthen annexing both sides.

He hadn't expected these two people to fall in love with Sarah.

When Jackson saw Shawn's unkind expression at the office, he frowned. “Enough! A mere woman isjust a pawn to expand your business empire, take it easy."

"I have some more important news for you..." Jackson uttered.

Shawn shifted his emotions. "What's the matter?" he asked, his face glum.

Jackson took the seat across from him, “I have cultivated a spy over the years, and usually collectinformation for me.” He said coldly.

“However, he told me today that Hendrik is most likely Han Howard.”

Shawn’s eyes shrank in surprise, “What did you say!?”

“Han Howard is Hendrik?”

No, this was impossible.

He was agitated, and a chill crept up from behind him.

If they were the same person, he was in grave danger.

Jackson was hesitant and said, "I'm not certain about this. My informant just told me that he once sawHan and Hendrik enter and exit an ancient castle in Qustraebar."

"Others knew this old castle was under Hendrik's name but hadn't seen both of them going in and outat the same time. Han will vanish every time Hendrik appears..."

Shawn felt better, but his brow remained furrowed. "I doubt it's the same person. After all, Han hasbeen exiled abroad for the last few years, and achieving such a great achievement as Hendrik in sucha short time is impossible."

"However, the likelihood of their cooperation is high." Jackson explained further.

"It appears that we will be unable to persuade any of them to cooperate." Jackson gave a nod.

"We need to switch strategic partners!" Shawn agreed.

…

Leah passed out after a half-hour of being frozen in the freezer.

When she awoke, she was once again in a dimly lit room. She groped her way out of bed, looking forthe light switch in the room.

She sat exhausted on the floor after failing to locate the switch after much groping.

She had been removed from the cold storage, but it was not certain that she had been rescued.

She must confirm the current situation.

“Thud!” The lights in the room unexpectedly turned on just as she was thinking.

A thin figure appeared at the door.

The man was dressed in a black windbreaker and a stunningly detailed retro black iron mask. He juststood there, and no one could take their gaze away from him.

" Who are you?" Leah stood up in a daze. She was exhausted.

She couldn't stop coughing. It was probably suffering from the cold.

The man took a step forward and approached her slowly, accompanied by a strong sense ofoppression reminiscent of hell.

"You can't even take good care of yourself," he said condescendingly as he stood still in front of Leah.

The familiar tone startled Leah; she took a few steps back.

"Who are you? Why did you lock me up here?" She coughed and repeatedly asked.

“Hendrik.” The man sneered softly.
