NovelOnlineChapter 2923 "Yes. So far, they haven't called or stated any ransom amount, but this is a very serious incident. My wife was taken on her way home, and I believe your officers understand what might happen next. Our only demand is to prevent the worst-case scenario. I want her back safe and sound, not a hair harmed." The lieutenant Sherman was talking to did not take the matter seriously, but upon realizing Sherman's identity, he immediately sat up straight. "I promise to ensure the safe return of your wife. We've mobilized a team to investigate and gather clues in the area." Sherman impatiently interrupted him, "Alright, handle it however you see fit. I just want her back safely." He hung up. Knowing he should not rely only on the police, he contacted the people who had sconnection with the criminal world. He was not unfamiliar with unconventional methods, but speople were too arrogant, always thinking they could manipulate everything.
"Go find out if there's been any activity from Esmond lately." "Oh, Mister Sherman, it's been a while since we last spoke. To what does a small fry likeowe this pleasure?" The person on the other end of the phone still wanted to exchange pleasantries with Sherman, but Sherman had no tfor that.

I don't have much time." The person on the other end of the phone becserious too. "Got it, Mister Sherman. We'll make sure to bring back your wife safely." Sherman had both the police force and criminal gangs look into Rita's whereabouts.
He stared at Rita's car in a daze. The only reason he could think of for Rita's kidnapping was because she had offended Esmond. Perhaps she had offended others during previous investigations, but he could not think of anyone specific.
'Is it because I haven't shown her she can trust me, and that's why she doesn't telleverything? I should've told her I was serious about her! But why didn't I? What benefit was there in keeping her in suspense, especially if something happened unexpectedly?' thought Sherman remorsefully.
Vince stood by, afraid to even breathe. It was not until Sherman slammed his fist into the car door-leaving a bloodstain on it-that he flinched.
"Sherman, there's no need to be too anxious. Maybe things aren't as serious as you imagine? They've just kidnapped Rita, and when the tcomes, they'll ask for money. guarantee they'll bring her back once they get the money!" Vince tried to console himself.
How ironic that sounded.

"What are you talking about?" Vince asked instinctively. The content is on novelenglish.net! "With a stepmother comes a stepfather."
After saying this, Sherman drove off.
He had to follow up up on this matter.
Rita's life was at risk, and he would ΕΠ not allow himself to sit idly by. X
