Chapter 228 Make Sure

She's intact It suddenly occurred to August that Nolan Vermon might be the most possible perpetrator, given the fact that the guy who dared to kidnap Lucia within the company must be one of its employees.

August called Bond immediately, "Lucia's missing.Check the whereabouts of hers, as well as Nolan.He's the possible suspect.Focus on the areas in the vicinity of the company, oh, especially the underground parking lot."

Bond put his hand on the searching in no time as he'd seldom found August so agitated.

He soon located the plate number and the trace of the car from the surveillance videos at the parking lot, and sent that specific part of clip to August swiftly.

He then told August through the headset, "It's probably done by Nolan, and he did that at the parking lot even without any cover.He pulled Lucia into the car after knocking her off.He must have directed at us and have prepared for the worst."

August clenched his phone with great rage which came from nowhere.

As Bond's fingers was moving on the keyboard quickly, he began tracing Nolan's car by anchoring at its plate number.

"I've locked his car number.I will trace down his movement before long and send you his whereabouts." he told August.

August raised his eyebrows above his sharp and chilly eyes as some idea occurred to him, "Get some more cars to block his way."

He could almost guessed Nolan's psychological states.

One who dared to kidnap even without any undercover work must have prepared for the worst scenario.

You just couldn't be too careful facing such a desperate lunatic.

Bond responded soon, "Loulling Road, that's where he last showed in the surveillance videos.It's around the eastern border of the city where lots of places go without security cameras."

August's face darkened as his forehead knotted in a frown.

After two seconds’ consideration, he ordered Burton to set out to the east.

After that, he went on with the conversation with Bond on the phone, "I bet his call will come before long since he must go with some specific purpose if he kidnapped Lucia.Trace down the signal of his phone, and that might help to narrow down the range.I may well block his way with some more cars."

"Got it." Bond nodded.

The black car darted toward the east.

Having hung off the phone, August sat at the back seat, still holding the phone as his upper body stiffened.He was waiting for Nolan's call.

As the phone buzzed, August looked down at the screen out of reflection.

Yet it was not Nolan! Instead, it showed "Jeanne Kelly".

August frowned and rejected it.He just couldn't answer any irrelevant call, which might stop Nolan from getting through.

Yet Jeanne called again.

August rejected it one more time and texted her, "Emergency.Will talk to you later."

Soon after he sent over the message, his phone buzzed again.

As August checked the number on the screen, it was a strange one, which almost got him to freeze.

August scrolled the screen to get it through with an icy voice, "Hello?"

"August Adams..."

The man sneered at the other end of the phone, "Do you know who I am?"

There was a hint of anger in August's eyes as he said coldly, "Let me know."

"I'm Nolan Vermon.The man who you've been after.I've got that Lucia woman who's saved your life.Let's make a deal if you want her to live on."

August held the phone tight involuntarily.

"What do you want?"

"What else could I want? I'm only doing all this for the sake of money and I should have gained three million but for this woman.And now, not only is the money gone as I didn't make it, but I'm exposed to you.I know it clearly that I can't rival you, after working at Lion Group for more than one year."

Nolan snorted and asserted his claim, "I won't ask for too much from you.Just three million that will enable me to leave smoothly, and I'll make sure she'll go back to you intact."

He then shifted into a harsh tone, "If you fail to do that, you should be able to the imagine the outcome."

August strived to repress his anger.

"How am I to give you that amount?"

"Three million in cash.At seven o'clock tomorrow morning.The first trash bin at the eastern end of Loulling Road."

Nolan then hung off the phone.

August couldn't help squeezing his phone as his facial expression seemed even sterner.

How come this Nolan could have the patience to make the deal as late as tomorrow morning, and how could he be sure about Lucia’s safety when she had to stay with the pervert for a night! There then came the notification tone as Bond sent over the coordinate of Nolan's mobile signal.

August informed Burton of the location and had him get there as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Nolan was driving fast and unsteadily along a remote and deserted path which seemed to lead to nowhere.

Lucia, who was sitting on it, was desperate besides being frightened.

She dared not to imagine what would happen to her father when he knew her condition. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

As the tears rolled down her cheeks, she just felt her throat so sore, with her mouth stuffed by cloth.

The car made a sudden turn into a smaller path where some two-layered buildings stood aside in dilapidated shapes.

At that instant, two cars came in the opposite direction, and they didn't seem to have any intention to slow down.

Nolan frowned as he had to decelerate to make way for them.

All of a sudden, his car, which was slowing down, swayed aside with a thud, and kept on decelerating as one of its rear tyres was making huge noise out of the friction with the ground.

Nolan suddenly realized what was happening and was about to press the accelerator hard, when there came another thud, which indicated his front tyre was punctured too, "Damn it!"

Nolan cursed and checked the rearview mirror, just to find himself besieged by two other cars from behind, on top of the previous two in the front.

He just hadn't expected August to go with such a quick reaction and to employ so many hands only for a woman.

Lucia noticed something unusual outside, and was shocked and uneasy as she stiffened at the backseat, while Nolan was so infuriated sitting at the driver's seat that he picked up the dagger he'd prepared.

He then jumped to the backseat and captured Lucia, threatening coldly while pressing the weapon against her neck with his trembling hands, "Get off! Anything funny will take your life!"

Looking at the glaring blade, which sent a shiver down her spine, Lucia could only obey.

Holding her neck from behind, Nolan leant against the car with great alarm, shifting his eyes between the cars at both sides and shouting desperately, "I'll kill her if you dare to come closer!"

He'd totally gone out of his mind.

One is doomed to end up like that the moment he or she agrees to be deployed as a vicious tool by others.

Looking at Lucia, who was being the hostage now, from inside the car, August put a serious look on his face.

Her pale face and the tears on it just got him so unnerved.

"Shall we kick it off, boss?"

came the voice of his staff from the headset.

August instructed from between his teeth coldly, "Yes."

With a swish, a gun which aimed at the back of Nolan's neck fired from behind sideways.

Nolan slumped down as the anesthetic needle shot right into his neck.
