Reborn as the Mayor's Girlfriend

Chapter 59: Ambush

Lennox POV

That night, as I got home, I did not waste anytime.

For me, each second was precious. If I could, I wanted to find out where she is at this very moment.

I called up all my sources and connections, explaining how urgent is the matter.

At the same time, I also arranged my left-over work for the city, as I filed a short leave. It was fortunate because everything else was organised properly, so I did not have to leave too much work. Only public inspections would be delayed.

Anyhow, the vice-mayor, even though he was from the opposing party, he was not not as greedy as other leaders. He can do a pretty decent job although he gets easily swayed by others.

Although I am wary of him, I am confident with how the departments are reformed. They have the same vision as me, and I am sure that they will watch over him. Besides, since I took the mayoral seat, I made sure that transparency policies were implemented right away. Which means that, it would be difficult for him or anyone to do dishonest acts.

Hmm.

Unlike Millen's family, who are familiar with the girl that Millen was with before she got kidnapped, I was not.

When I first heard the summary of how she was kidnapped, I was already very skeptic.

Just from the beginning, it could not be missed that the girl, Julienna Carpio, was driving towards the narrow pathway from the very start. The supposed cafe was on the opposite side, on the pathways towards the neighbouring metro cities.

It looked like Millen did not even stop her but I know Millen...

I cannot dismiss the fact that Millen is clueless about roads. Whenever we'd have our dates, she would be mindless as I drive, not really recognising where we're going even though we have travelled on the same path for the nth time...

At first, I only snickered at how sheltered she was to be so carefree about roads. I did not think much of it since I also want to indulge her.

But now, as soon as she gets back, I will make sure she's familiarised with all the roads. I don't want her to be mindless about roads while being seated in a car, no matter who she's with....

It was natural for me to ask my sources to do a full investigation on Julienna Carpio.

I'm glad I did. If I had trusted the Yu's personal relationship with her, I probably would not. But my suspicions and rational mind is telling me otherwise.

I don't care who she is, or if what I'm doing is improper... I'll do whatever it takes just to get Millen back.

I gritted my teeth as I read the reports sent to me so far. There are also other reports coming through but they are still being processed by my sources. After all, we had to do everything in a secretive matter.

Our investigation was done in full depth yet at the same time, we do not want to alarm anyone.

For the meantime, Kenneth Yu was making deals with the messenger sent to him. We already tried tracking that messenger but it only led us into an empty warehouse in the capital city...

Millen was not there at all and it was obvious that they were being extra careful with not revealing their traces.

It annoys me how devious these people are. Why do they have to resort to this in the first place? Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.
