A calm male voice answered, “Who is this?”


    “Mr.


    Payne, your wife is missing.


    You must be so worried.


    ”


    Nathan feigned nervousness.


    “Let her go.


    You can have whatever you want.


    ”


    “Being a coward is no fun.


    Mr.


    Payne, you miss your wife, right? What do you miss more, her arms or legs? Pick one, and I’ll send it to you tonight.


    What do you think?” Mr.


    Murray’s voice was sinister.


    Nathan knew Mr.


    Murray was bluffing and Lucinda was safe, but he was still furious.

    Murray, he would torture him.


    But for now, he had to be patient.


    Everything could wait until Mr.


    Murray took the bait.


    “What do you want?”


    Mr.


    Murray clicked his tongue and said, “Mr.


    Payne, you and your wife are worth at least 10Q billion dors.


    I just want 3@ billion in cash and your resignation from the National Security Bureau.


    Not too much, right?”


    Nathan was silent.


    “See you tomorrow morning at 10:00 at Bright Mountain.


    Come alone.


    ” Mr.


    Murray’s voice was cold.


    “Or your wife loses more than just her limbs.


    ”


    Then he hung up the phone.


    The car was silent after the call ended.


    Larry and Lonnie exchanged looks, ready and excited.


    “Mr.


    Payne, finally, the jerk is about to take the bait! We’ll capture him alive tomorrow morning!”


    Nathan was silent and relieved.

    “I need 3Q billion in cash.


    Are you getting it ready?”


    Lonnie was dumbfounded.


    “Seriously, Mr.


    Payne? Does Mrs.


    Payne handle all the money, even your sry? You don’t have 3@ billion?”


    Larry rolled his eyes.


    “You fool! Didn’t you listen properly? It’s tomorrow morning! The bank is already closed now, and it’s going to be challenging to get that much money ready in such a short time.


    I think we need to head to headquarters overnight,” Larry suggested.


    Nathan looked at the dark sky, pondering.


    Gazing into the sky for what felt like an eternity, Nathan concluded that Mr.


    Murray was the most suspicious individual regarding the poisonous milk powder case.


    Additionally, Mr.


    Murray’s involvement in persuading Everett to kidnap Colby tonight only deepened his suspicions.

    Murray really want money?


    Nathan felt there was more to it.
