First, Omari disappeared, followed by Sasha’s disappearance, then Cheyenne was stabbed, and finally Cierra…
The mastermind behind all this has really set up a big game!
“Dad, thank you. I’m glad you’re here. I really feel overwhelmed if you weren’t with me,” Cheyenne said.
Looking at his noticeably thinner daughter, Channing felt upset.
When Cheyenne was born, he was unaware of her existence, missing out on her most important growing up stages, causing her to suffer a lot at a young age.
After finally recognizing each other, he still couldn’t protect her when it was crucial, leaving Cheyenne injured.
He was really an incompetent father. Selah, buried underground, would probably blame him as well.
“Silly child, what are you talking about? You are my daughter, and Cierra is my granddaughter.”
“Now, tell me about the incident regarding Cierra. Do you have any clues?” Channing asked.
Cheyenne helped her father sit on the sofa and then presented the evidence she obtained from the police station to everyone.
“There are currently three clues.”
“The first one is regarding the disappearance of Libby and the guy who tried to kill me. It can now be confirmed that the suspect is male, under thirty years old, and a patient at a mental hospital.”
“The second is about Maria, who is involved in Cierra’s disappearance, and she is Mikaela’s sister.”
“The last one is about the Weaver family’s heiress, Elsa, who first returned to the country on the same day as Omari and then bribed reporters to disrupt my line of sight.”
Cheyenne’s intuition has always been accurate. She faintly felt that these three clues were actually one clue, and Elsa might be the mastermind behind all this.
She had money and power, so hiring someone to kill was a simple matter for her.
“The Weaver family?” Channing seemed not surprised by the involvement of the Weaver family in these events.
Whether it was the former First Lady Bianca or the current leader Elsa, they had always had a grudge against the Edwards family.
After Bianca’s exposure, she was imprisoned.
Channing, wanting to avenge his wife specially sent her a bottle of poison to end her own life.
He didn’t hide his actions because Bianca willingly took the poison to commit suicide.
The Weaver family had been weakened over the years, so they had been quiet. However, recently, those women seemed to be getting restless again.
During the annual council meeting, President Abel was repeatedly accused by the Weaver family of mismanaging military funds.
The noble families from the capital were seemingly ready to make a move. Surprisingly, the Lara family chose to unite with the Weaver family by marriage.
The union of the two powerful families might surpass the influence of the Harrison family.
“I believe in your judgment, Cheyenne. Where is Elsa now?” Channing asked.
“She’s in Onistead, under our surveillance.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her father questioned, “Are you sure?”
Cheyenne was taken aback.
“Why would Dad ask that? Our surveillance team reports that besides attending high-end banquets and casinos, she also goes to bars and KTV but has not set foot outside Onistead.”
Channing had his reasons for saying that because he saw Elsa at the airport the day before he left.
“I’m sure. At around 10 o’clock this morning, I went to the airport to meet an old friend. I happened to see the young master of the Lara family sending Elsa on the plane, but I’m not sure where they were going.”
At that time, he was unaware of Cierra’s disappearance, and he naturally did not pay too much attention to the people from the Weaver family whom he disliked.
“So Elsa left Onistead yesterday, but our people are still saying she is in the Weaver family. This…”
The police officers assigned to surveil her all have rich experience in criminal investigations, so they wouldn’t lie.
But what her father said was not baseless.
So the only cruel possibility left is, “They may have been discovered.”
When would the enemy control communication devices? It would only happen after they were captured.
The fate of their people… remains unknown.
Thinking of this, Cheyenne felt a deep sense of helplessness and sorrow. “Dad, did Elsa leave Onistead because she felt guilty or is there something else she needs to do?”
“Where do you think her destination would be?”
Seeing her daughter frowning, Channing couldn’t help but reach out his warm hand to smooth her brows and asked gently, “I don’t know her intentions, but if you were her, where would you most likely want to go right now?”
“Of course, to confirm the execution of the mission. If something is wrong, then silence the loose ends.”
As Cheyenne finished speaking, she surprised herself with her dark thoughts.
“I’m so ruthless. What a twisted idea.”
Channing also laughed, reaching out to pat her head this time. “My daughter is so intelligent. Just like what I think. Elsa is probably already in Akloit.”
“Capture Cierra, and now she will use the child to threaten you. So, you don’t need to find her; she will come to you on her own.”
And his arrival was to protect his daughter and granddaughter, the two most important people to him in this world.
No one can be left behind!
“I know this, Iker also said the same.”
But Cheyenne didn’t put all her hopes on waiting for Elsa to show up. The other two clues in her hands were worth investigating.
Dr. Barnes has already helped her to gather information on the missing patient from the mental hospital;
As for Maria, she asked Gordon to investigate, believing there would be news coming soon.
As expected by Cheyenne, Gordon brought two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
The good news was that through cellphone tracking, the police found Maria.
She was hiding as a nightclub singer in a high-end club, and she could be caught tonight.
But the bad news was that the police officers sent to surveil Elsa had disappeared, and their fate was clear.
The chances of them coming back were only 10%.
“Let’s wait a little longer. Send more people to search. As long as there is no body, don’t give up.”
“Everyone has a family, and for their families, they are the most important people.”
“I’ll cover the costs. Money is not a problem.”
Cheyenne’s words were simple yet powerful, warming the hearts of those present.
She always seemed carefree, not caring about anything, but in fact, she was the one with the softest heart among everyone.
She always put others first and only thought of herself last.
Gordon stood up suddenly, saluting on behalf of the two missing police officers.
“Thank you, Miss Lawrence. I believe if they knew, they would also be very grateful to you.”
“Don’t mention it. Their target is me, so they are implicated because of me.”
“No, you are a citizen, and it is our duty as police officers to protect every citizen,” he said firmly.
Cheyenne’s response was heartfelt. “So, these are things we should do, and your kindness goes beyond the law and obligation. We must thank you.
