Chapter 214 Do You Want To Feel It
He explained, “Let’s first talk about the kidnapping case from ten years ago. A lot of information on the internet was wiped out. I managed to restore some news and posts using my technical skills, but the information about that case is still sparse. All we know is that the hostage was a university student from a well–off family, who was eventually successfully rescued. As for who erased the news report, I’m more inclined to believe that the hostage’s family didn’t want their loved one to be exposed to the public eye. Back in the day, the media didn’t even mention the hostage’s name in their reports.”
Lenora asked, “Did they receive a ransom demand? Was the kidnapper finally apprehended?”
Gordon said, “The details about the ransom are unclear, as the kidnapper hasn’t been apprehended yet. Currently, there are only two warrants out in the system, which doesn’t make sense. As for the person who was seen with Daryl, we’ve identified him. His name is Richie Morries, and he comes from the same hometown as Daryl However, Richie is not on the wanted list. Richie relocated overseas a decade ago, just a day after your father’s passing. From comparing appearances, there’s a high chance he was one of the kidnappers from back then who slipped through the cracks. I’ve sent you the detailed information about Richie. Please take a look
Lenora replied, “Alright, thank you.”
Gordon then sent over a file.
Lenora was just about to speak up when Gordon interjected, “Since Richie isn’t listed in the system wanted criminal, it doesn’t necessarily prove anything even if we know he’s connected to Daryl.”
No wonder my father’s car accident was simply classified as a common drunk–driving incident. Richie was not investigated by the police at all.
Lenora said, “So, the kidnapping case is still the key.”
If it could be proven that Richie was the kidnapper, everything would become much easier to explain, especially with his connection to Daryl.
“Alright, but how can we prove that Richie was one of the kidnappers back then?”
Gordon replied, “Yes. However, this kidnapping case is far from simple. Back then, only the identities of two kidnappers were discovered, and they both managed to flee the country, causing your father’s death. There’s definitely someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.”
However, to uncover the mastermind, it is imperative to identify the hostage’s identity. Whoever the mastermind is, they have gone to great lengths to aid the kidnappers in evading capture, smuggling them out of the country, setting Daryl up for imprisonment, and even arranging for civil compensation. If they were to be discovered, they would lose everything. This case doesn’t seem like a simple kidnapping for ransom. It appears more targeted, possibly against the hostage. Perhaps, the mastermind holds a grudge against the hostage.
Lenora asked, “Can’t you find out the identity of the hostage?”
Gordon quickly replied, “I’ve revisited many old forum posts and looked through newspapers from that time, but I couldn’t find any answers. Now that so many years have passed, it’s even more difficult to investigate.”
“Alright then… Hold on, let me first go through Richie’s information.”

She skimmed through the pages with a glance.
Suddenly, Lenora halted, her gaze fixated on a particular section of the document
Under the section on family relations, there were details about Richie’s wife and va
The section about the son read: Connor Morris, an only child, is twenty–two years old Currently, a senior at Broburgh University….
Connor Morris… Is this the same Connor I know? He’s twenty–two and is in his senior year at Brobergh Uninity His details match up.
Lenora thought back and recalled that Connor had mentioned something back when they were in Nardor He said that he had moved to Muprary with his family when he was twelve.
That was exactly ten years ago. Does Connor know about Richie’s affairs?
A thought suddenly popped into Lenora’s mind.
She went back to her WhatsApp screen and opened the chat box with Connor.
The conversation between the two had remained at the message Connor had sent at noon: Min, are you free anytime soon? I’d like to take you out for a meal. I just started my internship and there’s a lot I don’t understand Since you used to work at Fuller Group, I was hoping to get some advice from you.
Lenora typed: Sorry, I was quite busy this afternoon and didn’t check my phone. I’ll be free for the next few days, you can choose a time that suits you.
Her fingers hovered over the send button for a few seconds before she pressed it.
Lenora then returned to her conversation with Gordon. “Do we not kidnapping case? Can we work on the other two wanted kidnappers?”

“All I can do is to continue my search to the best of my ability”
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for your updates.”
After Lenora had spoken, Connor responded: Don’t worry about it. How about tomorrow then, would noon work for you?
Lenora: Sure.
Connor: In that case, you can choose the restaurant.
After some thought, Lenora suggested: Let’s go to Opulence Restaurant on Caspia Road. I’ll reserve a private
Connor sent a happy emoji: Sure!
Lenora switched off her mobile phone, slumping weakly against the back of the sofa. She closed his eyes

At nine in the morning. Lenora ser off to pick up Harrietta from Galaxy key.
The car came to a halt in front of the mansion, and Lenora honked the horn twice.
Several minutes passed, yet there was still no sign of anyone emerging,
Lenora leaned back in her chair, initially intending to call Miranda to get Harrietta to come out. However, she suddenly remembered that Zachary mentioned he had something to do that day and probably wasti at home.
Thus, she figured that only Harrietta and Miranda were inside.
She put down her phone, unbuckled her seatbelt, and stepped out of the car. She then approached the
mansion.
The living room door was ajar, and Lenora stepped inside, finding the place completely empty.
She ventured further in, calling out, “Hattie?”
There was no response.
“Miranda?”
Still, no one responded.
What’s going on? Could it be that Miranda has gone out with Hattie?
Lenora decided to give Miranda a call, and the latter picked up quickly.
“Hey, Miranda? Aren’t you at the mansion? Where’s Hattic?”
“Mrs. Fuller… Ms. Wilkin, I’m currently out shopping. You’re here to pick up Hattie, aren’t you? She’s upstairs. You can go up to see her…”
“Which room is she…”
“Ah, I need to pay now, so I’ll have to
stop chatting with you for a moment, okay?”
With a beep, Miranda ended the call.
With a sense of resignation, Lenora glanced at her phone screen before climbing the stairs to the second/4

floor.
Ou the second floor, there were three guest rooms on top of the master bedroom.
Harrietta probably unlikely to be in the master bedroom.
As for which guest room it was, Lenora began searching through each one.
She pushed open the door of the guest room on her left. “Hattic?”
The inside was empty.
She then approached the second guest room, opening the door. “Hattic?”
There was still no one around.
Lenora finally arrived at the door of the third guest room. This was the only one left.
She pushed the door open, “Hat…”
Her voice abruptly ceased.
The warm and cool gazes of Lenora and Zachary met, their eyes locked in an intense stare–down.
She couldn’t help but continually glance downward.
His hair was damp, his upper body bare. His shoulders were broad, his muscles taut. The clearly defined abs on his stomach were a sight to behold, extending down to a V–line that disappeared beneath his towel, Occasionally, droplets of water would trickle down from his hair to his shoulders, momentarily sliding down his chest and onto his abs….
She had always known that he had a great physique and could still recall the firm yet familiar touch. Zachary’s eyes narrowed. Clearing his throat, he asked, “So, you want to feel it?”
