Food saved the world.
Because when the incident at the supermarket happened,
Reese was also there, so when he saw Issou and Lorna, he followed Willis to the mall today.
He suspected that Willis would probably attack them.
After all, there were only two girls today.
However, Reese did not expect that he was only helping a lady to bring back her child who ran away.
His partner told him that at the same time, Willis also left.
[Vinci, where is Willis now?] Reese asked his partner in a low voice through the earpiece.
His eyes scanned the surroundings a few times, but he still could not find Willis.
[Willis is obviously very familiar with this mall, I checked all the cameras here.
I couldn't find him.] Vinci answered Reese's question.
He searched through the many cameras.
[There's also bad news.
Only Dan En is left at the cashier.
Issou just went to the bathroom.]
Reese asked: [Is she safe?]
[The cameras there are broken, the furthest we can see is that she did indeed leave in the direction of the bathroom.] Vinci said.
[Due to the grudge they had at the supermarket, I think you should go there as soon as possible.]
If Willis was still in the surveillance,
Then even if the CCTV of Issou's path to the bathroom was broken, it was not a big problem.
But the problem now was —
The CCTV of Issou's path to the bathroom was broken, and Willis was not in the surveillance.
Reese responded.
Following the direction Vinci gave him, he quickly walked towards the bathroom. After entering the unmonitored area,
He quickly looked around and said, "Other than the bathroom, there's nothing else in this area.
"You can go straight to the main entrance.
You can also go to the evacuation staircase, there's an entrance that leads directly to the warehouse. "
[Very good.] Vinci's fingers flew across the keyboard as he said, [Listen, John, if Willis really did make a move on Issou, then the bathroom can be ruled out.]
[If he wanted to kidnap Issou, it's impossible to go through the main entrance openly. The most likely possibility is that he left through the evacuation staircase directly to the underground parking lot. However, there's no sign of Willis at the main entrance or the underground parking lot, so he's still in the mall.]
[Okay.] Reese spoke to his partner through the headset. "Willis is very familiar with the layout of the warehouse. If he wants to make a move, the probability of him choosing the warehouse is very high."
As Lithur spoke, he quickly walked towards the direction of the warehouse. But when he turned a corner, he stopped in his tracks.
Reese turned around and saw a fallen boot on the stairs leading to the evacuation. He frowned and went forward to pick up the lone boot. [If I remember correctly, Issou is wearing a pair of black Martin boots today?]
[Emmm … That's right.] Vinci turned on the surveillance footage and rewound to look at Issou's boots. [So?]
[So, she's a smart girl.] Reese got up and walked towards the evacuation stairs. When he passed by a storeroom, he tried to push it open, but he realized that the door was locked from the inside.
[I think I found them.] As Lithur spoke, he retreated to a suitable distance and kicked open the door with his leg.

Just a second ago, Issou thought that she was doomed, but in the next second, the violent but (to her) heavenly sound of the door breaking gave her a glimmer of hope.
With her back facing the door, Issou could not see what happened with her own eyes. But she could clearly hear Willis cursing and groaning in pain. Then she felt that he had no choice but to let go of her hair.
After losing her grip, Issou staggered a few steps forward. After she steadied herself with the help of the wall, she subconsciously turned around and saw Willis, who was about two meters tall, being beaten to the ground by a man in a suit.
"Phew."
After taking care of Willis, Reese stood up straight and tidied up his clothes. He then walked towards Issou. "You …"
But before he could get close, he saw that Izu, whose big black eyes were filled with tears, was like a frightened deer encountering the slightest disturbance in the wind, subconsciously becoming afraid.
“OK。” Reese stopped and looked at Issou's pale face. He subconsciously lowered his voice. "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Issou, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly go weak in the knees. He subconsciously stepped in front of her and grabbed her elbow to support her. He lowered his head and looked at Issou with his gray-blue eyes. "Are you okay?"
Issou: "…"
She should be okay.
Because she could still feel her knees go weak from his voice.
"Thank you." Issou took a deep breath and her gaze fell on Reese in front of her.
This was a man who exuded the aura of a mature man. His facial features were well-defined, and his gray-blue eyes were deep and charming. Especially his face that revealed a faint smile, coupled with his deep and sexy voice.
Even if it was not the right time, Issou had to admit that her savior was indeed a very charming man.
Especially the way he beat up Willis.
With this thought in mind, Issou smiled gratefully at Reese. "If it weren't for you, I think I..."
She paused as if she did not know how to describe it. In the end, she gave up and took a deep breath before continuing. "Anyway, thank you very much, sir."
"You should thank yourself." Hearing Izu's words, Lithur waved the boot in his hand at her. "This is the one that told me you're in danger."
Izu looked at the boots in Reese's hand and was stunned for a moment. Then, as if she couldn't believe it, she muttered, "I just wanted to try it out. I didn't expect someone to notice it."
According to the situation at the time, Issou could not have broken free from Willis' grip with pure strength, so she had to find another way.
Although she did not know if the Martin boot she deliberately took off would attract attention and suspicion, it was better than doing nothing.
As it turned out, her efforts were not in vain.
With this thought in mind, Issou could not help but smile.
When Reese heard Issou's words, he glanced at her and noticed the joy and surprise in her big watery eyes. He smiled at her and said with certainty, "Well done, smart girl."
As for the fact that they had been keeping an eye on her, that's why the missing Martin boot played a crucial role, Lithur felt that there was no need to tell her about it.
Because no matter what happened, it was better to have hope than to accept one's fate.
Reese said, "Now it's time to return it to its rightful owner."
As he spoke, he squatted down in front of Issou and reached out to help her put the boot back on.
Issou, who did not expect Reese to do this, was a little stunned. She subconsciously wanted to retract her foot, but Reese politely held her ankle through her trousers.
Issou lowered her head and looked at Reese. After a moment, she put on the boot and said, "Thank you, sir."
After tying the shoelaces for Issou, Reese stood up and looked at her with a slight smile, "You've said this twice."
"But it's obvious that it's not too much to say it again, right?" Issou wiped the tears on her face and was about to say something when she heard Lorna's voice at the door, "Issou?"
"Are you okay?" Lorna looked at Issou in front of her and sized her up, "I just passed by here and heard that Hulk was here."
"I'm fine, it's just that..." After knowing the purpose of Lorna's visit, Issou could not help but look surprised. But to be able to feel such concern in a foreign country warmed her heart, "I didn't expect you to make a special trip here for this reason."
Hearing this, Lorna shrugged, "Just take it as the gift you gave me last time?"
In fact, Lorna and Issou were not close, but at least they knew each other. Besides, she happened to be here, so when she heard the news, she decided to make a trip here.
"That's a thank you gift, not a gift." Issou smiled and corrected Lorna, then said, "But no matter what the reason is, I'm very grateful that you made a special trip here."
"No need." Lorna obviously did not take it to heart, "Since you're fine, I'll take my leave first."
"Wait, you're leaving just like that?" Seeing Lorna look over, Issou made an inviting gesture, "I think if you're not in a hurry, you can come in and have a seat?"
She was not in a hurry, and there was no need for her to go in and have a seat.
Lorna thought so, and then... Well, she sat on the sofa in Issou's living room.
Lorna, "..."
She would never admit that she could not resist Issou's smile.
