Chapter 1596 It's the Devil They Took
"We followed the address here. It must be the right place. Look, Mr. Leblanc, that's the girl!" someone exclaimed.
It turned out they were the very group that had failed to abduct Eliana last time. After their botched mission due to Wynter's interference, they were now more cautious.
"Stay low and treat her kindly. We can't let her doubt us again," Colby instructed.
As the group observed Wynter arrive on schedule, they believed they had the right person. After all, her face looked just the same.
The driver rolled down the window and waved at Wynter. "Over here, Ms. Linden."
Wynter lifted her gaze toward the voice. As expected, it belonged to someone familiar. She grabbed her bag and walked over to the car.
"Nice seeing you again, Ms. Linden. Shall we be off?" Colby greeted her with a smile. He anticipated that things wouldn't go smoothly, but Wynter simply opened the car door and slid into the backseat.
The men stared at Wynter dumbfoundedly. Their orders were to bring Eliana to the designated location, with permission to use force when needed while staying clear of surveillance cameras. Before they could take any action, Wynter had settled comfortably in the car.
Wynter gazed at the men and asked, "Are you hungry, sir? There's a cafe just across the street, and their food is amazing! Would you like to stop by?"
She inquired tentatively as if she was frightened, though she appeared ready to lead the men to the cafe. Seeing that, Colby quickly let out a laugh. "You're very kind, Ms. Linden, but we're on duty. We were probably zoning out for a moment. Let's get going. Remember to put on your seat belt!"
Convinced by Wynter's portrayal of an impecunious student, the men dismissed any lingering suspicions. They swiftly drove away from the surveillance cameras and headed toward the designated location, believing that Wynter wouldn't be able to call for help.
Little did they know that they had picked up the devil itself instead of a poor student.
Inside the house, Eliana watched as the car drove away. She clasped her hands and offered a heartfelt prayer.
At that moment, two figures emerged from a hidden corner. One of them reported, "Boss is on the move, so we should get going, too. L has analyzed the information and pinpointed the location from the photo-it's a milkshake store in Ravenshire.
"I'll head over there while you take the southwest route with the Linden family. There's a hidden path there."
The other individual patted the former's head and said, "Stop trying to boss me around. Just keep an eye on the GPS, and don't do anything rash. Let's see where they're taking the boss."
With that, the second individual pushed their cart into an alley and changed their clothes. They set off down the darker path to scout for blind spots.
Since "Eliana" had been taken away, the apartment was left with minimum supervision.
Meanwhile, the real Eliana remained hidden at home and urged her grandparents to avoid speaking to anyone. Although Anson and Agnes were confused, they could sense the situation's seriousness from Eliana's expression. Both Anson and Agnes complied with her instructions. When they took a different path, they realized that someone was tailing them. Fortunately, the tailing stopped once they returned home.
The time spent waiting was truly agonizing. Eliana had no idea where Wynter was taken, and she felt torn about whether to file a report.
Just then, there was a knock on her window. Elmer stood under the tree outside and said, "I've been sent by the boss to escort you to Kingbourne."
