Chapter 62 Let her say goodbye to the world once and for all
Lyra’s pupils dilated, “Melissa’s missing?”
“Yes. Melissa was in very good state before the recording of the show and was getting along with the other contestants. So it’s impossible for her to suddenly leave without saying anything.”
“I know, the show filming continues to move forward first. Keep it quiet. Feel free to contact me if there’s anything else.”
Lyra calmly arranged, “I will start to investigate this matter. Stabilize the base.”
She hung up the phone, frowned tightly, thought about it, and dialed the phone number that was at the bottom of her phone’s address book.
“Boss?”
The person on the other side was very surprised and stuttered, “Is it really you?”
“It’s me.” Lyra answered very succinctly.
The man on the other side immediately got excited, and even through the screen, she could feel the man’s shock and joy.
“Boss, you haven’t contacted us for six or seven years. Is it something important this time? Darkbell will do anything for you!”
Darkbell was a mysterious organization under her, with eyes all over the world, present in all walks of life.
As long as Lyra gave a order, there was no information they can’t get.
“Help me investigate Melissa’s whereabouts, and I want the results in ten minutes. As for the matter of me not contacting you, it’s a long story. I’ll inform you when I have time.”
Lyra put down her phone, and her eyes were filled with worry.
Although she trusted Darkbell’s efficiency, the more seconds that passed, the more unpredictable Melissa’s safety became.
The phone rang once more and Lyra glanced at the time. Only eight minutes had passed.
“Boss, it’s been checked out. Around noon, Melissa received a call from someone who asked her to come outside the shooting base, claiming to have an important matter to discuss with her.”
“Melissa went outside and was immediately charmed and stuffed into the trunk of a fake plate vehicle. That car drove off into the gravel hills outside Frayton, and after passing through a tunnel, the car was lost to surveillance.”
“I suspect that people are near Shattered Rock Mountain and she should be kidnapped. You see …”
The man asked tentatively.
“Okay, I get it, thanks to you guys this time.” Lyra was incomparably calm and sober.
She checked the map the man had sent her and prepared to drive there.
The phone beeped twice more, and there was a text message from an unfamiliar number.
“I have Melissa, come here within one hour. If you go beyond the appointed time, you will be responsible for the consequences. Note that only you can come alone. If you dare to call the police or bring someone else, we will immediately kill her.”
The unknown number sent another message with a picture of Melissa being tied up and beaten.
Lyra leaned against her fiery red Magotan, lost in thought.
The other party kidnapped people to threaten her, but did not want money. And it deliberately stressed that only let her go alone …
Could it be the Lloyd family?
She didn’t think so. The person seemed to know her very well, and the means to cause her memory loss was almost seamless. It was impossible to reveal so many flaws as this time for Darkbell to be able to find out.
After some thought, she roughly identified the real culprit behind the kidnapping arrangement.
Lyra turned off the navigation to Broken Hill and headed back to Keith’s cottage.
She changed out of her smart professional outfit and put on a sports suit instead.
The black-based sportswear set off her skin like a gel, and the slim-fitting style outlined her lines just right.
She tied her long hair into a high ponytail, more reflective of her entire heroic posture.
“Didn’t you just come back here. Why are you going out again?”
Connie heard her footsteps coming down from upstairs and nagged her bitterly, “Miss, you’ve been busy at the company these days, working around the clock, how can this work? When you come back, you should take a good rest. Your body is the essential to your career.”
She rambled on, and as soon as she turned around, her mouth dropped open in shock at the sight of Lyra in her sportswear.
“Miss, this is a really valiant outfit! It’s a different look than you usually have!”
Connie gave an approving look, “Is this going to be a sport?”
“Fighting.”
Lyra waved her hand.
“Huh?! A fight?”
Connie was so shocked that she thought she had misheard and asked, “You’re going to fight? Is that really possible?”
She looked at Lyra’s thin body and her eyes were gradually replaced by worry.
“Don’t worry about me.”
Lyra grabbed her bag and took off in her stride, speeding in Magotan and following the navigation directions towards the Shattered Rock Mountains.
Connie looked at her back and sighed once more at Lyra’s valor, then suddenly woke up like a dream and called Keith to inform him that she was afraid that her lady would be at a disadvantage.
“Mr. Keith, Miss said she is going to fight. You have to put the work at hand on hold!” Connie said fervently, “What if something happens to Miss?!”
“Okay, I got it.”
Keith frowned and sighed helplessly.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
…
“How’s the plan going? Did you get the woman tied up?”
Charlotte asked impatiently as she got through the phone.
Irene lazily replied, “Of course, after all, I arranged it, so naturally there will be no mistakes.”
Charlotte got an affirmative answer, and the mood suddenly cheered up. She even looked out of the window, and thought the chattering sparrows were also a lot more pleasing to her eye.
“Did you text the bitch yet? Nothing’s going to miss, right?”
While mentally pleased, she didn’t forget the rigor of her plan, “What if she calls the police? Or tell Keith. Keith is not to be messed with.”
“Don’t worry, I have investigated. She and this woman named Melissa are very close since they were in the orphanage. She wouldn’t dare.”
Irene was not impressed.
“I have already ordered someone to inform her. If she dares to bring someone here, we’ll kill her. She doesn’t have the guts.”
Outside the ward, there was a sudden sound of footsteps. Charlotte thought it was a nurse or a doctor walking in the corridor and didn’t pay attention to it.
“If this plan comes to fruition, she’ll have to say goodbye to the world for good.”
Charlotte was so excited that the thought of Lyra no longer being in her way made her want to set off fireworks to celebrate.
Irene was also relieved to have Lyra, who was always hanging around in front of Keith, out of the way, so that no one can be a stumbling block in her pursuit of love.
“Thanks to you this time, when I get out of the hospital …”
Charlotte was in the middle of a very interesting conversation when the door opened.
Melvin stood at the door, and his face looked grim.
“Melvin, what are you doing here?!”
Charlotte panicked for a moment and immediately hung up the phone.
“I was casually chatting with a friend and didn’t pay attention over there …”
She had obviously arranged for a bodyguard to guard the door, which was why she let her guard down and chatted with Irene with impunity.
And she wondered if Melvin heard it?
