Being Lauren''s most trusted friend and protecting her by his side would also bring Cyrus happiness.


    Angelina had also been quietly following not far behind them.


    Recalling Landon''s pale face when he left, she knew that something bad must have happened, and it


    left her feeling extremely anxious.


    Just then, Cyrus remembered how Lauren had stopped in front of a shop window full of dolls when they


    first entered. He thought she might find them inconvenient during the outing, so he thought of buying


    one for her before they left.


    Right now, they happened to be at the entrance of the store, and the dolls were still there.


    Cyrus'' eyes lit up. "Lauren, wait for me. I''ll be right back."


    "Okay." Lauren nodded obediently.


    Cyrus turned around and quickly walked toward the store.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    As he took a few steps, he thought about Lauren''s social anxiety and how ufortable she would be


    without anyone by her side. Therefore, he gave up the idea of surprising her with the doll and decided


    to take her inside with him instead.


    He wanted to see if there was anything else she might like. They seldom came here, so he wanted to


    buy more for her.


    However, just as Cyrus turned around, Lauren was nowhere to be found.


    "Lauren!" he shouted several times, but there was no response.


    He was gone just for a few seconds.


    A 22-year-old, able-bodied person who could talk and smile disappeared at the crowded store entrance


    just like that.


    There wasn''t even a shout or a struggle.


    Cyrus'' face instantly drained of color. He plunged into the crowd, his eyes burning red as he searched


    again and again for that fragile figure among the sea of people.


    However, there was no trace of her. All were unfamiliar faces that made him feel scared.


    Just as Cyrus was anxiously pulling out his phone, a call came in.


    "Mr. Cyrus, Angelina here. I''ve been following behind you. I saw two men in ck drugged Ms. Lauren


    and took her away. They acted very quickly and looked like professionals.


    "I''m now following them toward the north side of the park. There''s an abandoned gate over there. They


    must be trying to take Ms. Lauren out from there. You need to hurry up."


    Got it." Cyrus'' temples bulged, and he ran north.


    The north of the amusement park was a forested area still in the nning and construction phase.


    There wasn''t even a streetmp along the way.


    Cyrus caught up with Angelina at the fastest speed. With his background as a police officer, his


    investigative skills were outstanding. He followed the trail and caught a glimpse of the two men carrying


    Lauren toward the north gate.


    "Police! Stop right there! Put her down!" Cyrus roared, echoing throughout the forest.


    The word "police" definitely had an impact. The two men paused briefly, then bolted away even faster.


    "Fuck!" Cyrus cursed. At once, he reached for the stiff handle of the gun at his waist. "Run again, and


    I''ll shoot!"


    But even so, it didn''t deter the two kidnappers. It was clear that they had strong backing.


    "You''re a policeman. It''ll be troublesome if you shoot. We can catch up."


    As soon as Angelina finished speaking, a ck figure blurred past, exuding a chilling presence. Where


    it was now stood a solitary figure, an unyielding wall of ice blocking their way.
