The man was taken aback, exclaiming in surprise, "How could it be so fast?"

"I really don't know! The message from over there said we were only a few miles away." The lackey looked at the man anxiously, seeming somewhat at a loss. Experienced human traffickers like this man would always set up secret lookouts near their trading spots.

The lookout was positioned at a distance, ready to provide an early warning in case of any unforeseen circumstances, thus allowing the man more time to escape. Upon receiving a tip-off from a covert lookout, the lackey was informed that the police were heading in that direction

The man cursed under his breath, "D*mn it! You guys tricked me!"

After he finished speaking, he swiftly ended the call and tossed his phone back to his lackey.

The lackey skillfully removed the SIM card from the phone and tossed it away.

The man cast a gloomy glance at Lenora, and suddenly, his hand swung up in a slap. "You're stalling!"

Caught off guard, Lenora was struck and fell to the ground. Her check throbbed in pain, her ears rang, and her head spun. "I-I'm not...

She wasn't truly attempting to stall for time. She simply didn't want to be sold.

No one would have thought that the police would replace this place so quickly, only to be discovered by the human traffickers.

After this, he probably wouldn't trust Lenora's makeshift plans anymore.

The man sneered, shoving a rag into Lenora's mouth before hoisting her onto the car.

""Hurry up and go."

The car sped away from the location swiftly.

There was a tracking device in Lenora's bag.

That was a bag she frequently used, and it was the same one Elijah had once placed something in at the airport.

Thus, there were times when Zachary could discern Lenora's whereabouts, effortlessly locating her.

When the driver informed Zachary about Lenora's disappearance, he immediately accessed Lenora's location, replaceing it on a remote road, unmoving. Upon contacting the police to retrieve the surveillance footage, it was discovered that Lenora's bag had been discarded and thrown from a van. The authorities promptly traced the tracks of the van through surveillance, and after determining its

approximate location, they dispatched a team to rescue the hostage.

Zachary's people also went along.

Unexpectedly, while on the road, Zachary received a call from the man.

While he was engaging in a dialogue with the kidnappers, he simultaneously gestured to Elijah, signaling him to connect with the lead police officer. He wanted them to avoid alerting the enemy. Lenora was safe for the time being. They had plenty of time to plan her rescue. Ensuring her safety was their top priority.

Unexpectedly, the man on the other side noticed the police presence and immediately hung up the phone.

Zachary sensed trouble and immediately reached out to the authorities, who rushed to the scene with all their might.

When the phone number was dialed again, it was no longer reachable.

Zachary gripped his phone tightly, an icy aura emanating from him. "There are people looking out nearby. Take some people and go check it out,"

The car came to a halt, and Elijah stepped out. He and a few of his buddies from the car behind split into two groups, rushing toward the wheat fields on either side.

By the time Zachary and the police arrived at the abandoned cabin, it was completely empty. With a flick of the flashlight, dust filled the air everywhere.

This place seemed untouched for a long time. A layer of dust had settled on the ground. The back-and-forth footprints were particularly noticeable.

In a corner within, the ground was significantly cleaner, and along the edges, one could barely make out the outline of a person and the imprint left by their clothing folds. Unsurprisingly, that was the place where Lenora had spent her time.

"They must have left not long ago." The police captain crouched down to inspect the scene. "There are footprints of at least three individuals here."

"Go after her immediately, Zachary said, his jaw tight with tension. He spoke in a muted tone before he turned and walked away.

The captain stepped out and gestured toward the police car driver, who hadn't exited the vehicle. Understanding the signal, the driver immediately stepped on the gas and chased forward.

The police captain watched as Zachary prepared to get into the car. Stepping forward with a sigh, he cautioned, "We were negligent... However, if we continue to pursue, the suspect, feeling cornered, might very well harm the hostage: Zachary's body stiffened, and his loosely hanging hands suddenly tightened. His lips thinned as he pressed them together, his expression turning serious.

If it was a suspect's first offense, it wasn't too bad. As long as they didn't commit murder, there was still

room for leniency. However, if it was a ruthless criminal with a history of other offenses, knowing they were caught by the police meant certain doom. Cornered and desperate, they would inevitably take hostages to shield themselves. The captain then added, "My suggestion is not to pursue them closely. Once we've confirmed their location, we should covertly establish control, set up checkpoints, and then consider negotiating with them. We should seize the opportunity to act when the time is right. Th The mere thought of Lenora possibly suffering at the hands of ruthless kidnappers left Zachary feeling as if a piece of him was missing, an unbearable discomfort settling in his heart.

However, to ensure her safety, he had no choice but to act in such a manner.

Zachary fell silent for a few seconds before responding, "All right."

If it were someone else, he might have immediately urged the police to pursue with all their might. However, it was Lenora, and he truly didn't dare to do so.

He couldn't bear to imagine what he would do if something were to happen to Lenora.

've got him. He was hiding in the ditch, nearly gave us the slip."

"Zack, we've

Elijah pushed open the car door and approached, closely followed by his buddy, who was escorting someone from the back seat.

The individual was short in stature, yet their gaze was restless.

Zachary's gaze was momentarily filled with hostility when he saw the person.

""What's your name-

The captain pulled out a recording pen and notebook from his pocket, ready to interrogate. Suddenly, Zachary kicked the man in the stomach, sending him stumbling backward and falling to the ground. The man shivered as he met Zachary's ferocious gaze. The captain was momentarily stunned as he watched Zachary stride forward, ready to continue. He quickly stepped up to hold Zachary back, saying, "Calm down. Don't hit him anymore. Let me interrogate him. We might get some useful information."

The man hunched his shoulders, his body taut with tension. Without a doubt, if no one intervened, the man in the suit could very well have killed him.

Zachary glanced at the person, hid his sharpness, and turned back to the car.

The captain began questioning on the spot.

Cecil Wilton knew there was no escape, and in hopes of a lighter sentence, he confessed to everything.

It was then discovered that the man's name was Cecil, the youngest child in his family. He was known for shirking his responsibilities and leading an idle life, often mingling with a group of societal

misfits. When his parents were alive, he would regularly ask them for money. His father, despite his old age, still had to work. Tragically, he died suddenly on a construction site. Not long after, his mother also passed away due to illness.

No one was left to control Cecil. In his pursuit of money, he had been a thief, swindled and deceived others, and gradually, he found himself involved in the human trafficking business.

Eventually, he ended up turning into a human traflicke.

The captain was somewhat surprised.

Abductions had always been a major concern for the police department. Unexpectedly, they had apprehended a human traflicker this time around. If they could bring his accomplices to justice as well, they might be able to rescue a significant number of kidnapped women a Cecil informed the captain that their boss was named Gaspar Laird, and Gaspar had a lackey named Marlon Mador.

Gaspar had been in this business for many years. He had connections with human traffickers from various regions. Whether he had kidnapped them himself or bought them from others, he had dealt with numerous women and children. It was also he who led Cecil into this line of work.

This time, someone reached out to Gaspar, claiming they had a top-tier item they wanted to sell him. They had agreed to meet here for the transaction.

Gaspar was a cautious and cunning man. He wouldn't just meet anyone who reached out to him. Only -when he was certain there was no danger would he appear. Moreover, he would set up secret sentries in

advance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay hidden for so many years.

No one had anticipated that the police would arrive there so quickly.

Cecil had also mentioned that Gaspar had a peculiar interest. Whenever a woman ended up in his grasp, he always insisted on toying with them before letting them go. Despite his short stature and less-than- impressive performance in intimate matters, Gaspar frequently resorted to using certain props to torment these women.

Upon hearing those words, both the captain and Elijah turned pale.
