At the Baxley City Police Station, Li Mochen was led by a supervisor to the chief's office. Then, he saw Li Mei sitting at the office desk with a pale face.
The chief was not here. According to the supervisor, he was on his way. Li Mochen sat down next to Li Mei and asked, "What happened? Why did you tell me about Wednesday afternoon? It's been almost 35 hours. "
"I received a call from Hazel's teacher at noon yesterday. She said that Hazel didn't come to school and she was very worried."
Li Mei's lips turned purple. "Jacques and his wife didn't care at all. They didn't even intend to report it. I could only use my connections to find out more about the situation. They found out that on Wednesday afternoon, near Baxley Riverside Secondary, someone witnessed a girl being kidnapped. That was the only way Hazel had to go home. In addition, although the witness didn't see the girl's face, he was sure that she was wearing a Baxley Riverside Secondary uniform, and her hair was also light blonde. "
Li Mochen couldn't help but frown slightly. He knew that Hazel's kidnapping was very likely true.
Just then, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked in. "Ms. Li Mei, and Mr. Wildenstein, right? I know you. Since last Friday, there have been programs and news about you everywhere. Mr. Paton has called me and asked me to help you as much as possible. "
"Mr. Kadeem!"
Li Mochen also stood up and shook hands with him. "Please, we hope to find Hazel's whereabouts as soon as possible. You know, I'm going through the adoption procedures. She's very important to me. "
"But it's troublesome."
Chief Kadeem sighed. "It's already past the golden 24 hours after the disappearance, and Jacques and his wife haven't reported it yet. Before we officially file a case, I can only promise to mobilize the police to help you find her, and then use my personal connections to help you inquire. But don't get your hopes up. To be honest, for this kind of thing, instead of placing your hopes on the police, you might as well think of another way. "
Li Mochen's expression changed slightly, and then he turned his head and said to Chu Si Guo and Li Mei, "Chu, go out with Aunt Mei."
When only he and Kadeem were left in the office, Li Mochen placed a paper bag in front of Kadeem. "Mr. Kadeem, you seem to be implying something. Could you explain it to me in detail?"
The latter weighed the paper bag in his hand and knew that there were at least a hundred thousand gold duns inside. He immediately revealed a satisfied smile and skillfully swept the paper bag into the left drawer.
"There's really no need, Mr. Wildenstein. Even if it's just for Mr. Paton's call, I'll do my best to help you. EMM, I'll be honest with you. If it's a local gang in Baxley City, I'll send Miss Hazel to you within a day. But you have to be prepared at all times. There are some criminal groups and desperadoes who don't even care about us, the police. You'll have to think of a solution yourself. Of course, I'll investigate it as soon as possible. I guarantee that within five hours, I'll tell you which side did it. "
"Five hours?"
Li Mochen frowned, seemingly dissatisfied.
"That's the fastest I can do."
Kadeem spread out his hands. "I don't think you need to worry too much, Mr. Wildenstein. For a beautiful girl like Hazel, the only reason they would kidnap her is for human trafficking. They would sell her to foreign places, the underworld, or the bedside of the rich and powerful. Then, they would use drugs to control her. But this kind of thing usually only happens to immigrant girls with no identity. What I don't understand is why they would do it to a student from Baxley Riverside Secondary. "
As he said this, he realized that he had gone off topic, so he paused. "Hazel is very beautiful. For a girl like her, the original goods are the most valuable. You may not like to hear this, but it's the truth, so it's unlikely that they would hurt her now. In short, Mr. Wilden, you can go home and wait for news. Maybe after you finish the game, there will be results here. "
Li Mochen was helpless and could only leave. He still had a game in the afternoon, so he had to return to school or Storm Stadium before noon. He really couldn't stay here for long.
All he could do was ask Li Mei to wait here, and then contact Lee Tae-lai again.
There was no doubt that Nathan Sports Group was powerful. It was impossible for the Baxley City Police Department to turn a deaf ear to Mr. Paton's request.
But besides that, he also wanted to do something for Hazel, that pitiful girl.
Just as Li Mochen returned to school and took the school bus to Storm Stadium, Carl Holden, who was accompanying him on the bus, picked up a mobile phone.
Ibby Bryan, his opponent in the quarterfinals, had been involved in an unfortunate car accident at noon, causing Ibby Bryan's arm to be broken. Ibby Bryan had informed the competition committee to forfeit.
"In other words, our Royal Highness the Lucky Prince was lucky enough to qualify once again?"
William Jacques didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only tease him. "So far, there have only been eight rounds, and six of them have been won without a fight. Ammo, I want to buy a lucky bracelet now. "
Li Mochen ignored him and looked at Carl curiously. "You didn't do it, did you?"
"How could it be? For a guy who is destined to lose to you? We don't do anything illegal. What do you think of us, the Naessen Sports Group? A criminal group? "
Carl Holden complained. "It can't be those gambling companies. They won't do anything too outrageous at this time. At a time like this, a careless mistake will lead to the Gambling Regulatory Commission's investigation. In the end, the loss outweighs the gain. I guess this is mostly Ibby Bryan's self-directed act. He can't do it himself, but he can conspire with others. Your opponent today is also a member of Arcadia's camp. "
Louise Linden, who heard this, also expressed her agreement. "This speculation is very likely. It's a very smart move."
"That is to say, although he bragged in front of the media, he actually didn't intend to compete with Ammo in the first place? Wow, now this guy has not only successfully avoided a fight with you, Ah Mo, but he's also made you the target of public criticism while preserving his reputation, right? "
William Jacques also began to think. "He is no match for you, Ammo. He will definitely lose this battle. I'm afraid the situation is not good. I guess those who lost money in the gambling will be even more determined to believe that the battle between you and James Lance was the result of someone behind the scenes. They will hate you, Ammo. "
In fact, they had already seen the expected result.
When the bus approached the Storm Stadium, the two sides of the street were already filled with protesters. They were in a state of agitation. Not only were they holding all kinds of signs, but they were also trying to break the line of defense formed by the police and security guards on both sides. Among the various objects thrown over, there were also dangerous things such as bricks and gravel.
William Jacques looked at the scene outside the window and couldn't help but be lost in thought.
"It looks like they can't wait to kill you —"
