Chapter 34 - 34: 34: Go find that woman for me!
Meanwhile, in a luxurious suite.
Baron Stuart sits casually in a moon-white genuine leather sofa. His long left hand lazily cushioned his forehead. His gaze slightly downcast, he observes the cell phone in his right hand, then his eyelashes flutter slightly.
He spoke unhurriedly, “Clayton Howard.”
“Young Master.” Clayton Howard had only just submitted the information Baron Stuart wanted half an hour ago, and he stepped forward at the sound of his voice.
Baron Stuart toyed with the cell phone in his hand and spoke casually. His inscrutable black eyes were deep and mysterious, “I’ve been hearing about numerous cases of missing girls nationwide recently. Is that true?”
As he finished speaking, Baron Stuart continued to look down at the mobile phone in his hand without raising his head.
Clayton Howard was taken aback, did not understand why Young Master, who is usually disinterested in affairs outside of his own, suddenly became concerned about this.
He hesitated for a moment, considering before responding, “It’s true. Recently, there have been numerous cases of missing girls nationwide. From what I understand, most of them disappeared in the early morning.”
“What’s the reason?” Baron Stuart still didn’t look up as he asked.
His questioning only deepened Clayton Howard’s confusion. Despite his bewilderment over the Young Master’s questions, he replied nonetheless, “I heard it’s the work of criminals, they stalk at night and trick young girls into secluded places, defiling and killing them before burying them in the wilderness.’
When the words came to this point, a strange sinking feeling rose up in Baron Stuart’s heart. He looked up slightly, the sense of unease that even confused him himself.
“There’s also another thing that has gone viral on the internet recently.”
Clayton Howard continued, “I heard that a crime syndicate often abducts young girls in public, and their purpose is…”
He hesitated, “To harvest their kidneys and sell them at high prices to black market dealers.’
As Clayton Howard recounted this, the strange unease in Baron Stuart’s heart only intensified!
Immediately, without waiting for Clayton Howard to finish, he interrupted him urgently, “Immediately get people to find all the Starlight Hotels in the city!” His urgent tone, accompanied by a simmering anger, left Clayton Howard completely baffled, unsure why the young master would suddenly want to investigate numerous Starlight Hotels late at night.
“Young Master, right now?” asked Clayton Howard, hesitating.
“Yes, immediately! Find that woman for me!” Baron Stuart’s voice was tinged with an inexplicable anxiety. Onlookers may see things clearer than those who are immediately involved, and this was probably the case.
Clayton Howard couldn’t understand why the young master seemed so anxious, but Baron Stuart himself hadn’t noticed his own anxiety.
“Young Master, which woman?” Clayton Howard asked fearlessly. And it wasn’t really his fault for asking, given how abruptly the young master had ordered him to find a woman.
However, being able to serve at Baron Stuart’s side as his close servant, Clayton Howard was also quick-witted and he quickly put together Baron Stuart’s inexplicable series of questions.
Could it be that the woman that Young Master had previously instructed him to investigate was kidnapped? And the clue lay at Starlight Hotel?
“Young Master, you’re referring to Lady Carter being taken away?” Clayton Howard was surprised at this conclusion.
“Aren’t you going yet!” Baron Stuart roared, thinking that the woman might be buried in the wilderness, or even worse–
