Lindsey Taylor stared at her sister’s employer. “Mr. Taylor, I’m not trying to disrespect you, but my sister was doing fine in your family. What happened to her? Why did she suddenly go missing? You have to find her.”
Finn Taylor had no intention of shirking responsibility. Through his observations over the past few days, he was almost certain that the James family was responsible for Diane Taylor’s sudden disappearance.
Since the girl had only gone missing due to the feud between their two families, he had to take responsibility for this matter.
“I’m here to save Diane Taylor. Don’t worry.” With that, he handed his phone over to Lindsey Taylor. “After Diane left our house, she came to San Diego to look for you but was abducted by these men. Take a look at this; do you recognize any of them?”
Lindsey Taylor analyzed the photo closely but shook her head, helpless. “No.”
“Let’s go look for Arthur Jensen then.”
Arthur Jensen did have some influence in the city, and perhaps he would even recognize some hooligans from the underworld.
With Lindsey Taylor leading the way, the group quickly arrived at the Jensen family’s residence.
Lindsey Taylor was like a fish in water in the Jensen Corporation. In the short span of a few months, she had risen through the ranks and was now the Deputy CEO.
The speed at which she had been promoted was exceptional. However, Lindsey Taylor knew that it wasn’t because of her own abilities but Finn Taylor that she was being treated in this way.
“Mr. Taylor, why are you here?” Arthur Jensen was chatting with his daughter—Minnie Jensen—when the group arrived. He was clearly emotional because of Finn Taylor’s sudden appearance.
In just a few months, the initially willful Minnie Jensen had completely changed and was much more obedient now.
Instead of answering, Finn Taylor turned to Minnie Jensen.
Arthur Jensen understood what the other meant at once. “Minnie, go have something to eat with Lindsey and the rest. I have something to discuss with Mr. Taylor.”
Minnie Jensen was acute and realized that she wasn’t welcome, so she gestured for the rest to follow her.
Once they left, Finn Taylor took out his phone. “Take a look and see if you recognize them.”
Arthur Jensen took the phone over and scrutinized the photo closely. Unlike Lindsey Taylor, he had a wide circle of acquaintances. “Mr. Taylor, I recognize all of them. I can arrange for a meeting with them.”
Arthur Jensen took the initiative to make the offer—this was important. He had answered Finn Taylor’s question with the first sentence, but the next sentence meant that he was willing to offer his help.
However, his offer seemed rather low-key.
If Finn Taylor needed his help, he’d naturally talk about it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t.
One had to admit that Arthur Jensen was intelligent in that way.
“Are you sure that you’ll be able to arrange for a meeting?”
“Yes.” Arthur Jensen was overwhelmed with emotions; he knew what this meant.?‘Now, I’m officially in a working relationship with Finn Taylor! Of course, how long this relationship lasts will depend on my own abilities.’?
…
San Diego, in a basement.
Suddenly, someone kicked the door to the basement open, and Diane Taylor finally saw a glimmer of light.
She couldn’t adjust to the sudden brightness at first, but she very quickly adapted to it.
Her captors walked in with her lunch. Although they had abducted the young girl, they treated her pretty well.
They had brought her a full lunch with a drink to top it off. It didn’t even seem like they had kidnapped her.
“Hey, I’m getting a little confused. You’ve locked me up here, but you’re feeding me so well. Are you guys good guys or bad guys?”
The leader had a can of beer in his hand. He opened it and took a sip from the can as he sat down on the ground without any care. “I won’t hide it from you—we aren’t actually bad people. We were forced into doing this by our circumstances, but we’ve never taken any lives, nor have we beaten anyone up too badly. Basically, this is how we treat everyone we kidnap. We’re just after money. Why would we do anything too drastic? In the past, we released our captives after getting our ransom, and none of them have ever held it against us. In fact, we’ve even formed friendships with some of them.”
Diane Taylor picked up a piece of fried chicken. “This tastes pretty good.”
“Of course. I made it; I’m a good chef.”
Diane Taylor was taken aback.?‘Who are they? Their leader is even a chef!’
“If you guys are willing to start working legally, I’ll introduce you to someone. His experience is even more amazing than yours.”
The leader took another sip of beer. “Tell me more.”
“Alright, let’s see. He’s a matrilocal son-in-law and is infamous for being a piece of trash. Everyone knows that he faced humiliation at the hands of his wife’s family for three years, but he stood up for me against a local tyrant when he saw me being bullied, not caring about his own safety. Everyone said that he’s useless, but he bought the most expensive villa in the city as a present for his wife.”
“…”
Diane Taylor was emotive as she described her employer, drawing the men in.
They were enraptured.
“Don’t you think his experience triumphs all of yours?” Diane Taylor finally finished, and she could tell that the men were stumped.
“I never thought that there would be such an impressive man in this world!”
“Oh right, what’s his name?”
“Why don’t you tell me your names first?”
“My name is Bruce Jones.” The leader introduced himself before the rest did the same.
“We’ve told you our names. Why don’t you tell us his name now?”
“His name is Finn Taylor.”
Bruce Jones mentally noted down the man’s name. “Ms. Diane, we’re really sorry. We still have to keep you here for a while longer.”
Diane Taylor waved them off. “Go ahead. I’m used to it.”
She even encouraged her captors to leave.
