Salute To The General
Chapter 2716

Nathan lowered his head toward the crying woman. She was still mumbling as she begged Nathan to save her daughter.

He bent down and helped her up, saying, "I promise you I will look into this. I will replace her. I promise. For now, I want you to go home and make sure you rest well."

When Sera saw the resolve in Nathan's eyes, she felt assured and agreed to do as Nathan said.

"Y-Yes, I will. Thank you. Thank you!"

Nathan called Ava over immediately. "I want you to look into this."

"Right away."

Just like that, Sera was escorted away while Nathan and Penny went into their sedan and left with the entourage of police.

Nathan was quiet throughout the whole journey.

He looked pensively out of the window, falling deeper into thoughts.

"Are you still thinking about that woman?" Penny asked lightly.

"Yeah. I don't know why but I keep feeling that there's more to what we just heard," Nathan replied calmly before a pause.

"Colin," Nathan said after some time.

"Yes, Sir!"

"I want you to investigate this matter too. I need to know what happened."

"You can count on me."

"Also," Nathan continued after a brief moment of silence, "check and see if there are other people who have gone missing in Jinrich, especially female victims. I want to know if this is a standalone case." "Yes, Sir." Soon, Nathan and Penny arrived at their hotel. Seeing that Nathan was worn out, Penny filled the tub with warm water so he could have a relaxing bath.

After bathing, Nathan went out to the living area and sat down on the couch.

Before he could rest much, Colin rushed in.

"President Cross, I found something about "

"Is there anything unusual?" Nathan cut him short.

Colin's eyes widened in surprise. "How do you know?"

Nathan smiled, taking up a cup of tea on the table. "Well, you came in a hurry, so I guess there must be something peculiar."

"Ha, right."

"Come on, fill me in."

Colin resumed his serious face and started reporting, "I mobilized our intelligence department and found out that the daughter's disappearance was unusual. An eyewitness said that they had last seen her at the Jetroinian cultural street. Our surveillance also found that she had disappeared mysteriously there."

That place again?

Nathan was perplexed.

"Also, I looked into similar cases in Jinrich and found out that incidents like this have soared over the past two years. Reported cases are in the hundreds, but because there was no solid proof, I doubt any of these missing people were found," Colin added. Here, Colin took a look at Nathan before continuing cautiously, "I also realized that many of them are beautiful women who are somehow related to that street."

The frown on Nathan's brows deepened. "It seems that the cultural street is more problematic than we thought."

"I wonder if this has anything to do with human trafficking? I think we should talk to Hideo Komura and Bentley Jabbar. They are the ones behind this whole foreign cultural project. They will definitely know a thing or two even if they are not directly involved." "Where are they?" Nathan asked impatiently.

"They were supposed to be in detention now, but we sent them to the hospital because they were injured. They will go to the detention center after that."

"Bring them here. I have questions for them."

"Yes, Sir."
