Food saved the world.
This time, the owner of the number given by the "robot baby" was the burly man who tried to molest Lorna in the supermarket a few days ago, but failed miserably — Jonathan Willis.
Because when the incident happened in the supermarket, Reese was also there.
So when he followed Willis to the mall today and saw Issou and Lorna,
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 carry her child who had run 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.
However, 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.
While searching through the many cameras. [There's also bad news.
Only Dan En was left at the cashier.
Issou just went to the bathroom.]
Reese asked: [Is she safe?]
[The surveillance over there is broken.
The furthest it can be seen is that she did indeed leave in the direction of the bathroom.] Vinci spoke.
[Due to the grudge they had in the supermarket,
I think you'd better go over there as soon as possible.]
If Willis was still in the surveillance, then even if the CCTV on the way Issou went to the bathroom was broken,
Then the problem was not big.
But the problem now was —
The CCTV on the way Issou went to the bathroom was broken,
And Willis was not in the surveillance.
Reese responded and walked quickly towards the bathroom according to the direction Vinci gave him.
After entering the no-surveillance area that his good partner said,
He quickly looked around: [Other than the bathroom in this area,
You can go straight to the main door.
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 something to Issou, then the bathroom can be ruled out.]
[If he wanted to kidnap Issou, it would be impossible for him to do so through the main entrance. The most likely scenario would be to use the evacuation staircase to reach the underground parking lot before leaving. However, there is no sign of Willis at the main entrance or the underground parking lot, so he is still in the mall.]
[OK.] Reese said to his partner through the headset. [For Willis, he 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 passed by the corner, he stopped in his tracks.
Reese turned around and saw a dropped 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?]
[Erm … That's right.] Vinci turned on the previous surveillance and deliberately rewound to look at the boots on Issou's feet. [So?]
[So this is a smart girl.] Reese got up and walked towards the evacuation staircase. When he passed by a utility room, he tried to push the door, but he found that the door was locked from the inside.
[I think I found them.] As Reese spoke, he retreated to a suitable distance and kicked the door open.

Just a second ago, Issou thought she was doomed, but 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' curses and cries of pain. Then, she felt that he had no choice but to let go of her hair.
Issou, who lost her grip, staggered a few steps forward. After she steadied herself by holding onto the wall, she subconsciously turned around and saw Willis, who was almost two meters tall, being beaten to the ground by a man in a suit.
"Phew."
After dealing with Willis, Reese stood up straight, tidied his clothes, and gently exhaled. 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 any movement in the wind and grass. She was subconsciously 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 holding onto the wall, suddenly feel weak in her legs. 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 legs go weak from his voice.
"Thank you." Issou took a deep breath and looked at Reese in front of her.
This was a man who exuded the temperament of a mature man from head to toe. His facial features were well-defined, and his blue eyes were deep and charming. His face revealed a faint smile, and his deep and somewhat sexy voice.
Even if it was not the right time, Issou had to admit that her savior was indeed a very attractive man.
Especially the way he beat up Willis.
Issou gave Reese a grateful smile. "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 be thanking yourself." Hearing Izu's words, Lithur waved the boot in his hand. "This is the one that told me you're in danger."
Yi Su looked at the boots in Lithur's hand and froze for a moment. Then, as if she couldn't believe it, she muttered, "I just wanted to try it out, I didn't think that someone would really notice it."
According to the situation at the time, Issou could not break free from Willis' grip with pure strength, so she had to find another way.
Although she didn't know if her deliberately taking off her Martin boots would attract other people's attention and suspicion, it was better than doing nothing.
Reality proved that her efforts were not in vain.
With this thought, 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 cooperatively put on the boot and said, "Thank you, sir."
After tying Issou's shoelaces, Reese stood up and looked at her with a slight smile, "You've said this twice already."
"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 from the door, "Issou?"
[Have you been watching some random TV series recently?]
[Where?] Through the phone, Issou could hear the disdain in her mother's voice. She said confidently, [I've been so busy recently that I'm almost dog-tired, okay?]
[Oh.] Her mother said confidently, [Then it must have been in the past.]
Issou, "…"
[Don't change the topic.] Issou cleared her throat, [Just tell me if you don't like me because I'm a burden.]
[Stop fooling around.] Her mother chuckled. [Is there a second person in the world who is more adorable than my obedient daughter?]
Hearing this, Issou happily replied, [That's true.]
Hearing Issou's reply, her mother, who knew that she only took the word "cuter" to heart and ignored the word "burden", "…"
Maybe my big baby is an idiot, right?
For a moment, Yi Su's mother didn't know if it was a good idea for her to let Yi Su go to New York alone. After all, Yi Su's silly appearance really made people feel uneasy.
