When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 868: The Car That Vanished into Thin Air
Chase Fletcher drove Rachel Sherman home because she was pregnant. He was equally worried about her, knowing he had matters to attend to, which might be dangerous, and he didn’t feel comfortable leaving her alone at the company.
"I want to go with you." Rachel, seated in the passenger seat, turned anxiously to him, saying, "I want to know her situation immediately." She was extremely worried, almost on the verge of tears.
"Kidnapping her must be because of her identity." Chase calmly analyzed to console her, "Prepare enough money, and she won’t be in danger for the time being. You have to trust Adrian Lancaster; he is quite a powerful figure in Argent."
"Don’t talk to me about trust. They clearly know he is a formidable figure in Argent, yet they dare to abduct her! Are they reckless?" Rachel was extremely anxious and agitated, aware that with Adrian’s current status, he surely has enemies.
Her words left him somewhat speechless; the truth of the matter was uncertain, and he could only hope for the best.
"No matter what, I’ll take you home first." Chase gripped the steering wheel tightly, heading straight for The Fletcher Family. He needed to settle his wife before confronting danger.
Rachel said nothing further, realizing that she might be a burden in such a situation and calmed down. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
With tears in her eyes, she looked out the window, finding all the scenery devoid of beauty, the sky seemingly gray. She silently prayed for Faye’s safety, hoping nothing would happen.
Adrian Lancaster’s team worked efficiently, quickly tracking the car’s route through surveillance footage and discovering it headed towards Jadepoint.
The team immediately arranged vehicles, dispatching them in several directions along the route, each car racing against time to intercept it.
Mr. Kerr drove the Lamborghini, also pursuing this route at high speed, showcasing incredible driving skills!
Adrian sat in the passenger seat, his expression consistently deep, observing the vehicle’s path on a tablet: where could this route lead?
With only 60 kilometers left to catch up, numerous vehicles were arranged for a blockade. Suddenly, a voice came from the backseat—
"Boss, the car has disappeared from the surveillance footage." He held a computer displaying a grid of surveillance screens.
He constantly compared and tracked it.
Adrian reached behind him, and the man handed him the computer, explaining, "The car got onto the Rongjin Expressway, passed four service areas, didn’t exit the expressway, nor pass the fifth service area, and just vanished."
Adrian stared at the screen, seeing the car that disappeared into thin air, not appearing in the next surveillance.
The phone remained open, yet no calls from the kidnappers came through.
Adrian was in unprecedented turmoil, refusing to return home, heading to the area where the vehicle disappeared.
He ordered the police to seal off that section of the road; he intended to leave no stone unturned!
By dusk, several cars stopped on that stretch. No one spoke, enveloped in a heavy atmosphere.
Chase Fletcher’s team also arrived, meticulously searching, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
However, surveillance showed the car reached this area.
At the front of the expressway’s railing, Adrian Lancaster leaned on it, gazing into the distance, the enchanting sunset reflecting on his tall, slender figure.
In just half a day, he seemed to have aged, with tears lining his deep eyes, and heartache impossible to articulate.
Inhaling sharply, he bowed his head as tears uncontrollably rolled down, dripping into the weeds below.
His fingers seemed ready to crush the railing!
"Adrian..." Chase Fletcher approached from behind, gently gripping his shoulder, "Let’s head back, this section has been searched three times, with no suspicious traces found. Leave some people here to continue the search."
