“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything.” Mark said, “I told you, I’m here to establish myself in Celestial City. Why would I dirty my hands?”
Mark’s voice was so calm that Stephen felt a chill go down his spine.
For an instant, many scenes flashed through his mind.
The attackers at the speech, the criminals who kidnapped Richard, and the thugs who kidnapped another businessman’s child.
Stephen had a bad feeling and hurriedly rushed out of the station, trying to call Mr. Lynch. However, no matter how many times he dialed the number, the line did not connect. He quickly informed the police chief and told them to search for Mr. Lynch.
Then, he called George to assist in the search. “Find Mr. Lynch now! He’s in danger!”
Stephen thought of the armed thugs. Since Mark was arrested, they would definitely try to eliminate Mr. Lynch, the last witness.
If anything happened to Mr. Lynch, they would lose all evidence against Mark! They would no longer be able to convict him!
Meanwhile, Mr. Holt woke up in the hotel. He had gotten drunk the previous night and arranged to spend the night at the hotel. He rushed home when he woke up.
When he reached home, he sensed something wrong.
The front door was unlocked!
The house was also a mess as if it had been ransacked.
Mr. Holt instantly had a bad feeling and shouted his wife’s name, but there was no response. When he called her phone, he got a message saying that her phone was turned off.
He quickly pulled up the security footage of his home.
In the video, a group of men in suits appeared at around 10 p.m.
“We’re here on behalf of Mr. Lynch. Is Mr. Holt home? Our boss, would like to see him.”
The wife shook her head. “He’ll be back soon.”
“Since he’s not here, please come with us, Madam.”
Then, they forcibly took Mr. Holt’s wife. Some of them even barged into the house and rummaged through the cabinets as if searching for something.
Seeing this, Mr. Holt clenched his fists.

“Gary Lynch!” he roared in fury. His wife was three months pregnant. Why did Gary kidnap her?
At that moment, he recalled last night.
Mark’s arrival in Celestial City had threatened their profits. Everyone had hidden agendas and wanted more money.
Gary and his company were in the same industry. He must want to claim Mr. Holt’s share as well!
Furthermore, they had bickered the night before. Gary must have held a grudge, so he kidnapped his wife!
“I’m in the cement and construction business. Anything can be buried in cement before it sets!” Gary’s voice echoed in his ears.
Mr. Holt instantly panicked. He hurriedly ran out and headed toward Gary’s construction
site.
He searched around but did not find his wife, but he did find her phone.
The moment he saw the phone, his heart pounded. He felt like a hand was choking him. It was hard to breathe.
Turning his head slowly, he saw a familiar shoe floating on top of the cement in the foundation pit.
“No!” Mr. Holt screamed, his voice breaking as he jumped into the pit, calling his wife’s name while searching frantically. Memories of their life together flashed in his mind.
“Ahhh!” Mr. Holt’s cries were heart–wrenching.
The workers were frightened and quickly pulled him out.
Mr. Holt sat on the ground in a daze.
Just then, a young man approached him and slipped a plastic bag into his hands.
Mr. Holt touched it and shuddered.
A gun!
There was a gun inside the plastic bag!
Swoosh.
His wife and unborn child were gone.
Mr. Holt stood up, overcome by anger, got into his car, and called Gary to come out.
Meanwhile, Stephen could not contact Gary and immediately had his whereabouts

investigated.
Then, he found out that another incident happened last night!
Mr. Holt’s pregnant wife had been kidnapped. Furthermore, one of the people who was caught on camera was one of the criminals involved!
