After Adair was dragged into the car, Vivian keeps driving for a while. Then she stops the car and
covers a wet handkerchief over his mouth and nose. Some pungent gas enters his body through his
nose and soon he passes out.
Vivian keeps driving south. Her car speed is very fast. She turns off her phone and uses a PHS. Only a
phone like this can’t be tracked by GPS.
The car is driving faster and faster. The streetscape outside the window becomes more obsolete. After
a long time, the car pulls into a waste mountain road. Vivian stops at the bottom of an inconspicuous
hill and changes her car into a black Santana which was prepared ahead of time.
The black Santana doesn’t have a car plate or any logo. She drags Adair’s body and tosses the
unconscious boy into the back of her car.
Then she starts driving again. Maybe it is because she has changed her car, or that she starts to get
used to such a criminal activity after all that happened before, Vivian’s head which was in a mess now
calms down.
She strictly drives along the route that she planned before. There is few CCTV on this route. And at the
hill bottom where she changed her car, there is no CCTV either. So, she can’t be easily tracked down.
Before the night falls, she has already arrived at the junction of two cities, which is over 100 miles away
from J City.
There are no streetlamps around. Few villages sit here. All she can see is a few scattered bungalows
with lights up.
She pulls over at a lane. To hurry up, she can only carry Adair up on her back. Watching the black
mountain road in a short distance, Vivian doesn’t freak up. Instead, she is wrapped in a comfort which
tells her she won’t be caught under this heavy darkness.
...
When Rex arrives at the entrance of the neighborhood, his grandpa is there too. He is talking to one of
the managers of this neighborhood. Seeing Rex walking forward, their faces all darken. Adair was lost
in such a short while. No one can shoulder the responsibility.
“Rex, I am so sorry. It was all my fault...”Audrey keeps crying and all she can see in her mind is the
scene where Adair was abducted.
On his way here, Rex has already sorted out the whole thing. Apparently, this is all Vivian’s scheme.
The nude pictures and the appointment at Amber Café were all part of her scheme to lure him out of
his grandparents’ house. She was coming to the child.
She resorted to such a despicable way and abducted the child under broad daylight. Everyone knows it
is she who did it. But it’s not because she is stupid. She has reached the end of the rope and is willing
to go to any length.
Rex dares not to think what a woman in such a condition will do to the child. If he does, he will have a
nervous breakdown. Right now, he hates Vivian as much as he loves Adair. But he must stay calm and
rational. Adair is still waiting for his rescue and he can’t lose control.
”
Facing his grandparents, Rex doesn’t blame them at all. He just asks in a deep voice, “When was he
abducted? Where? Where is the CCTV footage?”
Audrey points to the place where Adair was abducted and tells Rex the process of the whole thing,
“Vivian pretended to be the teacher of Adair’s kindergarten and told me she came here with an
admission paperwork which required me to sign. I remembered what you said before about having
chosen a kindergarten for Adair and didn’t think too much. But who knew in just several seconds, she
dragged Adair into her car and drove away...”
The old man stands beside and listens. His face almost turns black. Though they are both old, he can’t
help but scold his wife, “How can you be so stupid? How many times have I told you to be more
careful? But you never take it seriously!”
“Who knows that Vivian is capable of so many tricks? What should we do now? If anything happens to
Adair, I don’t want to live anymore...” Then Audrey starts crying.
The scene makes people sad and unsettled. Everyone knows what the best result and worst result are.
Their fear expands with the crying.
“Please stop crying. It’s not time yet. Wait until Adair comes back.” Then Rex turns to the manager and
asks for CCTV footage. The manager has already made a copy in his phone. Watching the black-and-
white footage in which Vivian abducted Adair by dragging, Rex becomes extremely angry. His face
looks like the eye of a storm with horrifying black clouds in his eyes. “Give me the car plate number.”
The manager instantly shows him a piece paper with the car plate number, “Mr. Rex, technicians have
confirmed it is this number.”
Rex takes the paper and calls Pehry, who picks up the phone and asks with unruliness, “Rex?”
“Adair was abducted by Vivian just now. Help me track a car plate number. It’s urgent.” Rex tells him
straightly. If he calls the police now, Vivian may be agitated. Besides, no matter how hard the police try
to keep a low profile while investigating, it will be conspicuous. Rex doesn’t want to act rashly and alert
the enemy. After all, Vivian has the kid.
Pehry’s subordinates are highly specialized in this kind of things too. If they can’t do anything about it,
the police won’t be much of a help too.
Hearing this, Pehry is shocked and then his tone turns serious, “Okay. Give me the plate number. I will
begin the job now.”
Before hanging, Rex says loudly, “Pehry, if you get anything, please, please inform me immediately.”
Rex says two “please”. And though he sounds calm, Pehry can feel his anxiety, “Rex, please rest
assured that given some time, I will find out where Adair is.”
“OK.”
After hanging out the phone, Rex turns around and walks in the neighborhood. Audrey follows him and
asks in anxiety, “Rex, should we tell Vivian’s families? Maybe they know where she is going?”
“Don’t tell anyone about this thing. If her families know, they will get in touch with us. If we let this out, it
will do no good to Adair.” When saying this, they are passing the security post. The manager there
knows this is a big deal and his face has already turned pale. Rex looks at him and says in a low but
scaring voice, “Don’t let this out until it’s over.”
The manager keeps nodding and his hands are covered with cold sweat, “Mr. Rex, don’t worry. We
won’t tell anyone!”
Rex walks inside the North Villa. With the nurse holding him, the old man walks towards Rex and asks
in anxiety, “Rex, what do we do now?”
After so many years, he finally gets to see his great grandson. The old man is terrified of what might
happen to Adair.
Watching his grandparents’ houses in the distance, Rex closes his eyes. His thin lips open and let out a
word full of resignation, “Wait.”
