"Boss, the CCTV cameras are not working."

"How about the cameras installed by Jia?"

"They were hacked, boss but there's one outside the resort, at the back where it was not part of the secured server. Miss Xu is smart to not include it on the main server. Maybe she knew that getting all these cameras on one server isn't strategic."

"How did you find it, then?"

"Miss Xu once talked to me about hacking so I checked all the possible servers in the resort and I found that one. It wasn't hacked by the intruders so I managed to get the footages. If not for Miss Xu's wit, we won't have the footages. Boss, their hacker knows his business. He's really good but Miss Xu still outsmarted them."

Si Weimin's eyes glinted with pride at the mention of Xu Jia Li's intelligence, "Send it to me."

"Yes, boss."

Si Weimin sat on the edge of the bed. His eyes lovingly laid on Xu Jia Li. She was still in deep sleep. The sound of the notification startled him up from his trance. He immediately opened the email.

With trembling hands, he clicked the footages and watched the back of the men wearing the same outfit as the ones they encountered in the old abandoned warehouse. He believed that they were the same men. They were carrying a big duffel bag.

Where's Xu Jia Li?

He furrowed his brows when he realized that she must be in that bag. His heart broke from knowing that the woman she loved suffered from these dreadful people.

"How dare them touch my woman!" he clenched his jaw as he continued to watch the footage.

The hair on his back suddenly rose up. These people won't stop unless they made sure that Xu Jia Li was dead. He clenched his phone tightly as he noticed that it was also the same woman he exchanged a fight with. If only he saw what she looked like.

Unfortunately, the video only showed the back of the abductors. He was about to end the video when he realized that something wasn't right. The footages didn't answer the question on how Xu Jia Li got back.

Who took her back?

He watched closely but the footage stopped right after a black car arrived. He looked intently at it but it was so dark that he couldn't point out what kind of car it was.

He called Ru Tengfei, "Fei, the video ended even before I saw who took her back."

"It's all that there is in the footage, boss."

"Didn't someone delete the next part?"

"I'll look into it, boss."

When he ended the call, he still thought that someone deleted the part where Xu Jia Li was taken back. Who helped Xu Jia Li?

Now that they knew who was behind these people, he would do all he could to make them pay.

"I've already taken care of everything. Next time, don't act impulsively."

"I only did that to ensure the success of the organization."

"Really? How sure are you that it will cause success and not failure? Beryl, this is the last time I'm putting up with your shits! Now that Si Weimin already investigated who owned the daggers and the guns. If not for your carelessness, then maybe, we won't need to lie low from now. The entire organization will suffer because of one wrong move. All thanks to you!"

"I only want to –"

"Put my words in your empty brain. In case you're too stupid to comprehend. This plan doesn't need you loitering around just for me to pick them up. Just follow your orders. Nothing more, nothing less!"

Beryl's eyes reddened from Snow's insults but she knew better than to answer back, 'Just wait. I'll make you taste your words.'
