John took a deep breath, allowing himself to react before taking out a bottle and sprayed the contents
over the number pad of the safe.

Still his first attempt was wrong.
He calmed down and keyed in another combination.
It did not work either.

He closed his eyes, running the numbers to find anything possibly corresponding to everyone's mobile

‘Well, is there anything missing from the safe?"
Doug quickly checked, and his face fell. "Ma'am... It's the most vital document. It's gone."
"Nana and Lucas just returned today, didn't they?"
"Yeah, but they weren't seen in the cameras-’
"It's Lucas. Get him right now!" Jean immediately singled out her target without thinking!
