However, Ethan didn’t answer Derek and walked toward the elevator. “Let’s go to Waylen’s room,” hesaid.

Hearing his words, Derek was confused and asked, “Why are we going to Waylen’s room? Don’t tellme that she might be hiding in his room.”

“She got out of the car within ten miles of the hotel.” Ethan finally gave Derek an answer.

When Derek heard his words, he was startled momentarily before laughing out loud. “Say, do you thinkthat she has outsmarted herself? She must have thought that you were going to chase after her. That’swhy she left the car as soon as she got out of the hotel and told Billy to drive away alone in order tokeep you busy. Never would she have expected that Caleb and Liam would catch up to him in aninstant. Moreover, she wouldn’t have guessed that Waylen is a weirdo and had surveillance camerasall around the hotel within ten miles.” As he spoke, his smile widened, and he continued.

“Magnificent Hotel is located on the outskirts, so there won’t be any cars passing by at this late hour. Ifshe can’t get a ride after getting out of Billy’s car, she must be hiding somewhere nearby. All we have todo is check the surveillance cameras, and we’ll know where she is. At that moment, we will be able toget our hands on her.”

When the elevator door opened, Derek went in and hurriedly pressed on the 33rd floor.

Both Waylen’s and Ethan’s rooms were on that floor. One was Room 3301, while the other was Room3302.

Since Ethan knew the password to Waylen’s room, he inserted it and pushed open the door when itunlocked. As soon as he stepped inside the room, his eyebrows twitched as he sensed the smell of

cigarettes. Although the smell of cigarettes was faint, it indicated that someone had just entered thisroom not long ago. However, Waylen had gone abroad a month ago.

Thinking about it, Ethan quickly scanned the room. However, he then noticed nothing wrong with theroom besides some odd details.

“Is Waylen back?” As the chief of the police office, Derek had keen eyesight. When he saw the room,he said, “No, that’s not it. It’s not him. I smell mint cigarettes!” His investigation ability was great too. Ina matter of time, he had found a cigarette butt under the living room chair. “Boss, did she enterWaylen’s room? If that’s the case, she seems suspicious.”

On the other hand, Ethan didn’t answer him and was looking at the surveillance camera. Although Alicehad destroyed the hotel’s surveillance cameras, the camera in Waylen’s room was different from thehotel; it was from the outer part of the hotel. Hence, Alice did not destroy it. Then, Ethan inserted thetime and place according to Liam’s intel and opened the surveillance video of that particular area.

The clip showed that after Billy’s car left the hotel, he stopped at the first corner. Then, the car door wasopened, and a black umbrella appeared while someone had gotten out of the car. From thesurveillance camera’s view, the person was entirely blocked by the umbrella; not even their legs couldbe seen.

“She is quite sneaky, and I’ll give her credit for that. Did she know that there would be cameras?” Derekfelt his lips twitching, livid. “No, she wouldn’t have known. If she knew there would be cameras, shewouldn’t have left the car, right? Is she naturally a cautious person, or is she hiding something?However, she had gotten out of the car in an open space, and there was no place for her to hide. Isn’tshe afraid that we will see her?”

Hearing his words, Ethan squinted his eyes. To be honest, he felt that Alice had made the right decisionand got out of the car as soon as she left the hotel since it was the safest thing to do. After all, those

men that had been frightened by the grenade had not reacted, and he couldn’t catch up to her on time.However, she exposed herself in an open area and was holding an umbrella, which would cause ascene since it wasn’t raining in the middle of the night. As someone smart, she shouldn’t have madesuch a common mistake.

Staring at the clip, Ethan didn’t blink as he saw the black umbrella move quickly toward the middle ofthe road. Her movements were fast, almost equivalent to a well-trained person’s speed.

When Derek saw the clip, he frowned before widening his eyes. “What is she doing?”

The next moment, they saw her jump over the guardrail and go to the opposite side. The guard rail onthe road was high, and most people couldn’t jump over it easily. However, during the whole process ofcrossing it, the umbrella Alice was holding had been covering her all along.

When Derek watched the clip, his face turned serious, commenting, “She has some skills, Boss. Thereis something off about her. I’m starting to get suspicious of her.”

Ethan didn’t answer him and was still staring at the clip.

In the clip, Alice was still holding the umbrella as she crossed the road and entered a gas station by theroadside. Then, she went straight into the gas station’s supermarket. Although the view of the cameracouldn’t look at the inside of the supermarket, there was only one exit at the gas station. Since therewas no one or any vehicles outside the gas station at this hour, it didn’t affect Ethan’s investigationwhen he sped up the clip. While he was forwarding the clip, Alice had never left the supermarket.

At that moment, Derek was slightly excited by what was going on. “There is only one exit at this gasstation, and so does the supermarket. So, she must still be in there, right? We will be able to catch herif we go now, Boss.”

Hearing his words, Derek didn’t move, and his eyes darkened. Then, he started to change the screenof the clip. However, he realized that no matter how he changed it, the screen didn’t have any changes.It was obvious that the screen had been frozen. Since there wasn’t anyone or anything moving on thescreen, one wouldn’t be able to tell the differences from the start. Most importantly, the screen wasflickering while he was looking at it, making it seem like the surveillance camera was still working.However, he knew that the surveillance camera had been hacked and stopped at the very moment assoon as Alice entered the supermarket. Still, he couldn’t figure out how she made the flickering effect.When he tried to look at the other clips, he noticed they were working properly except for this particularscene. At that moment, he realized that a skilled hacker had done this!

Then, Ethan knew that Alice had already left the gas station. It looks like I have underestimated whatLittle Fox is capable of. She has indeed escaped from me.

On the other hand, Derek’s eyes unconsciously widened, and he stared at the screen in a daze for along time. “Boss, should we send someone over to check it?” He was unwilling to give up and didn’tbelieve that someone would actually escape from Ethan’s grasp.

Even though Ethan knew that Alice was not at the gas station, he still had to check it. Then, he calledCaleb and told him to go to the supermarket. After all, it was impossible for a person to disappearwithout a trace. Hence, that had to be some clues they could replace.

After Ethan hung up the call, he looked at the clip again. Suddenly, he asked Derek, “Is Leah still in thehotel?”

“Yes,” replied Derek. Although he had arrived late to the scene, he was clear about what occurred andknew that Leah was one of the people who had helped Alice escape.

Only Ethan averted his gaze from the screen when he heard Derek’s words. “Bring her to the receptionroom on the first floor.” As he spoke, a glint flashed across his eyes.

Although you run off this time, I’ll get to you sooner or later. After all, there isn’t anything that I can’t replaceout.

Ethan had many clues about her, from her bag, her belongings, and fingerprints on the cuff. Hence,even if she had escaped from him at this moment, he would replace her by all means.
