“Who else could be calling? It must be…” Edward Woods finished the sentence, and then the three of them laughed knowingly.

But just as their laughter began, Steve Burton’s expression suddenly tensed up. He stood up abruptly, knocking over the heavy wooden chair behind him.

Seeing Steve’s expression, Edward Woods, Rusell Henris, and Howard Coleman knew something serious had happened. The three of them exchanged glances and quickly stood up as well.

Steve’s lips were tightly pressed, his face dark and unsettled. His voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly, as he spoke to the person on the other end of the phone: “Do you know where you are right now?”

Not knowing what Ruby Gregory said on the other end of the phone call, Steve relayed a few pieces of information to Rusell as he stared at him fiercely. “She is about three o’clock from the Greensource Mall, the roads are under construction, and the place she is at now has an iron gate.”

As Steve spoke, Rusell quickly opened his laptop and pulled up a map of Ciawell and its surroundings.

First, there was the sound of construction…

Rusell typed rapidly on the keyboard according to the clues Steve passed on, and about twenty locations popped up on the map.

The journey began at three o’clock, and it was now almost five, taking approximately an hour and a half to two hours. Therefore, it wouldn’t be a closer or farther distance.

Using the process of elimination, Rusell removed closer and farther locations, leaving only three spots on the map.

One was to the east, and the other two were to the south.

The last clue was the poor condition of roads, indicating that the roads were bumpy and uneven, and there was an iron gate…

Rusell zoomed in on the map, which showed actual scenery. His finger moved swiftly across the touchpad as he located an abandoned factory in one of the construction sites. He moved the cursor further and saw a highway collapse due to heavy rain a few days ago…

It matched the information relayed by Steve completely.

Rusell looked up at Steve and said, “It should be the abandoned steel factory in the south of the city.”

Steve narrowed his eyes slightly, showing no reaction, then turned and strode toward the door.

Edward Woods, Rusell Henris, and Howard Coleman didn’t dare hesitate and hurriedly followed.

Maya Mitchell was a talent nurtured by Pristine’s Enterprises.

At the age of twenty-two, in her senior year, she joined Pristine’s Enterprises as an intern due to her excellent academic performance and interview skills. After about six months of training, she officially became Steve Burton’s secretary.

The training of employees at Pristine’s Enterprises always had a core ethos: meticulous thinking. No matter how perfect a task seemed, they were taught to approach it with an outsider’s perspective, calmly analyze the issue, detect any flaws, and implement a remedy.

In order to stand by Steve’s side in the best possible way, Maya had been constantly perfecting herself over the past four years.

So, after successfully having Ruby kidnapped in her place, she started to wonder if her actions today had left any traces behind.
