Chapter 210 The Tyre Tracks
“But there’s blood in the room.”
Olivia could not comfort herself as negative thoughts flooded her mind. She began to imagine a few hundred different scenarios of her child in danger. She could hardly hold on any further. She admitted to herself that she wanted Eugene to oppose her thoughts. It would be the best if he was able to convince her, as if she would believe everything that he said. Unknowingly, she had already started depending on him.
“The blood in the room might not belong to North. The color is much darker. A child’s blood usually isn’t that dark.” Eugene was just spurting nonsense with a straight face.
Olivia couldn’t care less about his words. She merely hummed in agreement, but she was not reassured at all.
Meanwhile, a few people walked downstairs and looked around the tyre tracks with the flashlights on their phones. They realized that apart from Olivia and their cars, there were a few tyre tracks from other cars nearby. The tracks looked fresh, and there were a lot of trails left behind. The least number of cars that were involved would be two cars with around five to six people. From afar, a car headlight flashed. When they walked near it, they realized that Curtis and the rest had arrived.
“President Nolan,” Curtis said as he passed a flashlight to them. With that, it had become more convenient for them to walk around in the dark. Eugene took it and appraised the surroundings. There were no surveillance cameras at all, so it was way more difficult to look for people here. “The blood in the room hasn’t dried yet, so they must have left less than 20 minutes ago. Check the cars that exited here immediately,” Eugene ordered Curtis.
Curtis did not dare to say anything unnecessary, so he quickly replied, “Yes, sir!”
Standing at the same spot, Olivia remained silent. Usually, she would hand everything to North if they needed to investigate some matters, so right now, she had no idea where to start. The anxiousness within her had made her lose all analytical capabilities. She was already brave enough as she managed to stop herself from crying. Just a moment ago, she was on the verge of breaking down and sobbing out loud already. She didn’t know how she could survive if North had really met with an accident.
Eugene had seen through her fragility under her tough appearance and held her into his arms again. With a gentle voice, he said, “Don’t worry. North is smart. I believe that he’s figured out a way to escape.”
Leaning in his arms with his gentle voice ringing in her ears, Olivia could not hold herself anymore. Tears streamed down her face as she exclaimed, “He is still so young! Why didn’t she take it out on me? Why did she target a child?”
Eugene consoled her, “Come on. It doesn’t mean that Anna has brought him away. Didn’t you see that two more cars came by here? Perhaps they were here to save North. Don’t scare yourself first. Let’s get into the car to track them down!”
After wiping her tears off, Olivia followed Eugene into the car.
“Follow these fresh tyre tracks,” he ordered, to which Kyle replied in agreement. The car slowly drove out of the demolished building to a straight, wide road in front.
After Eugene got out of the car, he immediately walked to a small restaurant nearby that had surveillance cameras installed nearby. He tried speaking to the restaurant owner, though he didn’t seem willing to comply as he didn’t want to get into trouble. Eugene quickly gave him some money, and it was only then that he agreed to show them the footage. Instantly, he caught sight of the few cars that drove away from the buildings. Luckily, the footage was clear enough for him to see the car plates. Hence, he took down the number of the car plates for Curtis to look it up.
In no time, Curtis replied, “We’ve found and confirmed the information of the three car owners. I’ll send our men over immediately. However, the weird thing is that I can’t even find who the owners of the two cars are.”
Upon hearing that, Eugene frowned deeply. “You can’t find them?”
Curtis replied, “No, I can’t get anything. It’s all blank.”
At this point, Olivia said, “This is quite simple. North is able to hide our information so that others can’t find us as well.”
