Food saved the world.
[Vinci, where is Willis now?] Reese asked his partner in a low voice.
His eyes scanned the area a few times.
However, Willis was nowhere to be found.
[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.
There's only Dan at the cashier counter, and Issou just went to the bathroom.]
Reese asked: [Is she safe?]
[The cameras there are broken.
The furthest we can see is that she is indeed heading towards the bathroom.] Vinci said.
[Due to the grudge they had in the supermarket, I think it's best if you go there as soon as possible.]
If Willis was still in the surveillance, then even if the CCTV in the direction Issou went to the bathroom was broken, it wouldn't be a big problem.
But the problem now was —
The CCTV in the direction Issou went to the bathroom was broken.
And Willis wasn't in the surveillance.
Reese responded and headed towards the bathroom according to the direction Vinci gave him.
After entering the unmonitored area, he quickly scanned the area: [Other than the bathroom, this area has direct access to the main entrance or the evacuation staircase.
There's also an entrance to the warehouse.]
[Very good.] Vinci's fingers quickly typed on the keyboard.
He spoke.
[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 for him to go through the main entrance. The most likely possibility is that he left through the evacuation staircase 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.]
[Ok.] Reese said to his partner in the headset. [Willis is very familiar with the layout of the warehouse. If he wanted to make a move, it's very likely that he would choose the warehouse.]
As Reese 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 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 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."
Just as he finished speaking, Yi Su, who was supporting herself against the wall, suddenly felt her legs go weak. He instinctively took a step forward and came in front of her. He reached out and grabbed her elbow to support her. He lowered his head and looked at Yi Su with his gray-blue eyes. "Are you okay?"
Issou: "…"
She should be okay.
Because she could still feel her legs go soft 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 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. She took a deep breath and continued, "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 break 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.
