"Langston?! Where are you now?" Upon receiving the call, Jeffrey was taken aback, almost thinking he was hallucinating.
Because these past few days, he had been racking his brains day and night, trying to find out his whereabouts! "I got kidnapped, but | managed to escape! Can you send someone to pick me up?" Upon hearing this, Jeffrey immediately frowned, "Kidnapped?" "Yes! | was sleeping that day, and when | woke up, | was taken to a pitch-black place." Honestly, the moment he heard this, Heather's name popped up in Jeffrey's mind.
But now, that was not the point.

"Go pick up a boy from this address. | don't want any mistakes!" He called over two male assistants to go, hoping there wouldn't be any issues.
Just as the assistants were leaving, Jeffrey rushed after them, "Wait! I'll go myself." It was his carelessness last time that led to the child's kidnapping. Although he had no idea how the boy had escaped, he couldn't bear the thought of it happening again.
Just to be safe, Jeffrey decided to bring the two assistants along. Once they were in the car, he called Everett.
Everett seemed reluctant to pick up, and it took a while before Jeffrey heard his voice.
"If you're going to talk about something not related to work, I don't have time to listen.” "Although it's still not about work, your son just contacted me! I'm on my way to pick him up!" Everett was stunned upon hearing the word ‘son’.
But he quickly regained his composure and immediately said, "Give me the location, I'm coming too." "Okay!" After sending the location to Everett, Jeffrey hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "The kid said he was kidnapped, you might want to look into... Heather." Mm.
After hanging up, Jeffrey's gaze fell on the window, and he let out a cold sigh.

Later, Kenneth bought some more liquor, finally managing to satisfy Dorothy's taste.
Kenneth had to carry her back to the room, as she was completely blacked out and drunk.
In the morning, Kenneth went out to buy a hangover soup. It wasn't until the soup had cooled down that she woke up.
"Headache?" Seeing Dorothy furrow her beautiful brows, Kenneth quickly brought over the freshly heated soup.
"Thanks." Dorothy accepted it and rubbed her temples, "I haven't been this drunk in a long time." Kenneth chuckled, "Did it make you feel a bit better?" Dorothy was stunned, managing a forced smile, "Yeah, I've come to terms with it." "That's good." Although he knew she was lying.
Dorothy took a sip of the hangover cure, and then suddenly remembered something, quickly putting down the soup, "Oh, Kenneth, did you get in touch with Byte 7? | want to inquire about how much it would cost to restore the previous videos. I've saved up some money now, but | don't know if it's enough.”
