Chapter 1625
Luke turned on the camera, and at the same time, the video was done loading. He moved the mouse to the button for it to start playing, and his hands were shaking a little.
"Luke, calm down." Percy saw the cursor trembling slightly on the computer screen and knew that he was nervous.
Luke acted calm but he could never calm himself down whenever the matter involved Bianca.
Bianca was his other half. She was his sun and moon.
After all these years, she finally came back to him but was forced to go through these hardships all over again. When he thought of that, Luke could not calm down.
"Click on it," Percy said.
Luke clicked on the video.
The video had been edited. What they saw was Luca being slapped in the face by a man wearing a mask. After a few slaps, her face swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The loud sounds of slapping came from the stereo, which showed that this video was not faked.
Luke could not help but clench his fists when he saw Luca being tortured. He asked, "Is this how Pierre's villa looks like?"
Percy looked at the background, shook his head, and said, "It's hard to say. The interior looks ordinary. I've only been there once, which was when the house was handed to him and it had yet to undergo renovation. I can't be sure."
Luke listened as he forced himself to keep watching. He was unwilling to miss out on any information.
Luca was being hit. He kept hearing the slapping sounds but he did not hear her cry or beg for mercy.
She was stubborn. Even though she was getting slapped, she did not beg the kidnappers for mercy.
Luke was heartbroken. If he could, he would rather suffer on her behalf.
Bianca, who used to be weak and soft, had to go through such pain. Even Percy could not bear to see her suffer like this.
He knew he could not persuade Luke to calm down any longer. After all, if it were Nina who was suffering, he would bring a knife over and avenge her.
Luke clenched his fists when he watched as the first man got tired and another man stepped in to continue slapping Luca.
He counted the slaps and thought about how he would make the kidnappers pay for what Luca had suffered twofold!
After the slapping, he heard a voice treated with a voice changer listing the conditions for Luca's release.
Luke learned that the other party kidnapped Luca to prevent him from bidding on the project.
T Corporation had publicly stated that it would participate in the bidding of this project, and some experts in the industry predicted that this project would likely fall in the hands of T Corporation because their company's strength was beyond the reach of many other foreign companies.
Therefore, many companies regarded T Corporation as a strong competitor.
'What does this have to do with Pierre?'
After they finished watching the video, Percy stayed silent for a few seconds before he said, "Luke, send me the video. I'll find someone to analyze it and see if we can extract that person's voice."
Luke turned off the video, turned on the speaker on his phone, put it aside, and said, "I'll send it to you now."
"Okay." Percy opened the chat application and started reaching out to his contacts. He planned to ask them to restore the audio.
"Even if it can't be recovered, Pierre definitely has something to do with this," Luke said. After he saw that the email was successfully sent, he informed Percy, "I'm going to save her."
Percy did not stop him because Luke's tone was more so of an announcement. He was not asking for his opinion.
Since he knew the location and the initiator, Luke was going to save her.
He loved Bianca with everything he had. He could not bear to see her suffer another second.
Percy reminded him, saying, "Go ahead. I'll find out why Pierre is doing this, but Luke, if you do it now, it's impossible to find out who's behind Luca."
The reason why they were waiting was not only to find out what Pierre wanted but also to see who was controlling Luca from behind the scenes.
After all, her kidnapping and disappearance were widely publicized. The forces behind her would soon know about her being kidnapped.
Luke was stunned, but he then said, "I don't care. If Nina was the one who was kidnapped, you would do the same."
Percy agreed with what he said. He nodded and said, "Okay. I don't know how many people are in the villa. You can bring my men with you."
"Mm." Luke hung up the phone, put on his coat, and headed out.
Jason walked toward Luke with a document in his hand. When he saw Luke, he asked, "Boss, are you going out now?"
"Yes," Luke said as he walked toward the elevator.
"The meeting..." Jason followed up.
"Reschedule," Luke said. He turned around and glanced at Jason. "Come with me."
"Okay, I'll put the file away." Jason heard him and immediately returned to his office. After he put the file away, he trotted back to Luke's side.
The two took the exclusive elevator down.
Jason looked at the numbers that kept going down, then at Luke who was typing on his phone. He was typing non-stop and looked busy.
He braved himself and asked, "Boss, where are we going now?"
"We're going to save someone," Luke said. When the elevator reached the underground parking lot, he handed the car keys to Jason and said, "You drive."
"Okay," Jason did not waste any time. He quickly ran to Luke's exclusive parking lot. As soon as Luke said that they were going to save someone, he knew that it was going to be Luca.
Luke continued to manage his contacts on the phone. He set up the scene and then contacted Johann.
In the video, Luca was slapped so many times that her cheeks were swollen. It was likely that she had to go to the hospital for treatment, so he needed Johann to make arrangements.
At the same time, he also notified the police.
He could save her, but the police were still needed to punish those who kidnapped her.
Otherwise, if someone were to cause problems, they would accuse him of lynching.
Jason pulled the car up in front of him.
Luke opened the car door and sat in the backseat.
"Boss, where are we going?" Jason asked.
"I've sent the address to you via text. Hurry up," Luke said.
Jason glanced and saw that it was a villa in the suburbs. 'Where's Luca?'
It seemed that whoever was behind her kidnapping was not someone ordinary. Not many could keep someone hostage in a villa.
Jason did not dare to say anything. He immediately turned on the navigation, chose the fastest route, and left T Corporation.
After more than half an hour, Luke's car arrived at the address.
Jason glanced around. It was quiet, and he did not see anyone around. Usually, villas in the suburbs were bought by rich people as vacation homes or for the elderly at home so there would be fewer people in the area. It was normal that it was quiet.
However, something seemed off...
Jason looked at Luke and confirmed with him. "Boss, is this the place?"
