Chapter 1127 I Give You Half an Hour to Lock the Target
Lucas didn't seem to know how much of an impact these words had on Bert. The child didn't understand, but Evelyn understood. She didn't know how much Miss. Graves loved Bert, but when she heard these words, even she couldn't help but be moved.
How selfless and humble must a person be to make such a decision?
Today, she met Miss. Graves. She didn't even have the chance to say a few words properly, yet she selflessly saved Lucas again without expecting anything in return.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Whether it was because of her love for Bert and everything related to him or simply her natural compassion for children, her actions, in any case, were a gesture of kindness to Evelyn.
Thinking of this, Evelyn looked up at the stiff man in front of her and comforted him softly, "Don't worry. She will be fine."
The man gently closed his eyes and opened them again. The turbulence in his eyes faded away, leaving only a burning determination.
He would never let anything happen to her. Never.

Huston was working with the police to get the surveillance footage. The other party was very cunning, but Jewel City was the economic center, and the extensive surveillance system set up by the police could not be underestimated. Soon, they found two suspicious cars.
Based on the car's route and direction of travel, they determined that one of them was indeed carrying Alivia and had left. Once the target was confirmed, it became easier to trace. Eventually, the car stopped in a remote urban-rural junction, parked below a half-mountain slope, and vanished from the surveillance. However, they were certain these people couldn't have gone far and must be nearby.
"We still need some time to confirm the kidnapper's identity, Mr. Lloyd..."
Before the officer could finish his words, the office door was pushed open from the outside. Bert strode in, followed by a kind of coldness. He was filled with an overwhelming sense of suppressed rage from head to toe.
Huston raised his eyes and quickly walked to the front of the table. He threw a small, square, black chip onto the table and said, "These are the people who recently had disputes with him. The mastermind behind this kidnapping should be among them. I'll give you half an hour to lock the target. Can you do it?"
When everyone heard this, they fell silent.
No one had ever been so arrogant as to set a rule in the police station that they had to complete the task within a certain time.
His attitude made people feel uncomfortable to some extent, but what could they do? He was assisting in the investigation, and they couldn't say much about it.
The captain in charge of the kidnapping case took the storage card, inserted it into the computer, and began reading the information. One of the suspects was named Gabriel Nelson, from Eoland, who engaged in futures trading. He was a formidable figure locally, and six months ago, he had a grudge against Bert due to a stock market manipulation that resulted in losses amounting to billions of dollars, according to the data displayed.
However, a person of his status and position shouldn't resort to such poorly executed methods of retaliation. It's not cost-effective to cause so much damage to oneself while trying to harm the enemy.
Thus, all the captain's attention was focused on the second person.
Owen Grayson, 43 years old, from Jewel City, divorced, unemployed, used to be a contractor for a building materials company. One year ago, he got divorced, and his daughter was awarded to his ex-wife. Since then, he had become a jobless wanderer. Records show that he traveled to the Eoland with a tour group six months ago but overstayed his visa and was subsequently deported back to his home country. He was now banned from re- entering the Eoland for life.
"Thoroughly investigate Owen and quickly lock down his location." After reviewing the information, the captain was already certain that Owen must be involved in this kidnapping case and immediately instructed his subordinates to investigate.
"This information is very effective for us, Mr. Harper. Thank you." He took out the memory card and handed it back to Bert. "But I have a question to ask you. You have an extraordinary identity. How did you get involved with Owen?"
