Heading West


    As the image of that car appeared, everyone in the hall gasped.


    The license te appeared to be quickly reced after the car trunk popped open, with the trunk


    jumping up and down.


    The car kept moving slowly, never stopping.


    This subtle change was hard to notice.


    As caught onto this clue.


    A police officer beside Dn immediately instructed his subordinate, "Zoom in on that license te and


    find the owner!" Soon, the information came back.


    The te was fake and was registered to arge truck.


    I stared at the big screen in despair, afraid the car would disappear again.


    Presumably, they had used this clever trick to swap out the front te earlier.


    So, this car seemed to vanish into thin air right before everyone''s eyes.


    We could conclude that our previous spection about child abduction for ransom was unfounded.


    This was a premeditated kidnapping.


    I was stunned by this scene, my mind racing, wondering who could do such a thing.


    What were their intentions? Why take my child, and with such craftiness? If it were a simple kidnapping


    for money, we would have received a ransom call by now.


    This wasn''t a straightforward kidnapping.


    Why have a grudge against such a young child? I couldn’t even imagine what Ava is going through


    right now.


    Tears blurred my vision as I looked at As, whispering, Who are they? What do they want?" As


    tightened his arm around me and said, "Don''t be afraid.


    They won''t get away.


    We''re going to get Ava back.


    Trust me!" What more could I say? If I couldn’t trust him, who could I trust? At this moment, he once


    again became my sole pir of strength.


    His hand tightened, patting my back as he held me close, his eyes fixed coldly on the screen showing


    the car''s movements.


    Then he turned to Dn, his voice sharp.


    "Get ready!" Though only two words, they carried a chilling edge.


    His deep-set eyes were locked onto the prey, like a hawk focused on its target.


    Dn immediately understood As''s meaning, his dark eyes shing with determination.


    He exchanged a nce with As before leaving.


    I didn''t know what "get ready" meant in this context, but I knew Dn was off to set up the rescue


    mission.


    I instinctively tooka deep breath, trying to ease my nerves.


    The car on the screen had already left the main road and exited the roundabout.


    Watching it drive further and further into the destion, I grew more and more anxious.


    "Where are they headed?" I was losing myposure, resenting As for his calm demeanor.


    As the car continued into the wilderness, heading further west, As suddenly held me tighter, asking


    the traffic police beside him, "Is it done?" The officer nodded.


    "It''s sealed off!" As immediately turned to anotherpanion.


    "Let''s go!" I followed him as he turned,pletely passive, supported by his lead.

    My legs were unsteady and weak.


    Perhaps he found my pace too slow, and he lifted me.


    He ced me into an off-road vehicle, not the one we arrived in, and a few identical cars followed


    behind.


    Once we were in, the car sped off at lightning speed.


    Even on this nearly empty main road, I felt it was too slow.


    My daughter had been away from her family for almost two hours.


    The sun was setting, and I knew our chances of sess would significantly decrease once night fell.


    I clenched my fists tightly, my heart feeling as if it had been torn apart.


    We were now on the same path that the car had taken.
