That night, Nina tossed and turned in bed. She was not able to fall asleep until dawn.
On the other side, John was also not able to sleep. He was up all night sending out more people to look for Nina, but none of them returned with her.
Unable to turn in for the night, he made a bold decision. He decided to issue a reward for whoever brought Nina back ho.
John went out and contacted the most influential dia company in Lexingport City. The dia company agreed to film a broadcast for him. Sitting in front of the cara, he said slowly, "My wife is still young. She doesn't know her way around the city, and she forgot to bring her mobile phone. She hasn't co ho yet. To anyone who brings her to the Ti Group, I will offer a hefty reward. Please help find my wife."
When Nina woke up, she saw the fifteen-second video. The man in the video was calm, and his eyes were very gentle. She had heard that deep voice so many tis, but for so reason, it sounded foreign to her.
There was a photo of her in the lower right corner of the video. It was one of the selfies she took when she participated in a beauty pageant at her school.
Nina was so rattled that she imdiately turned of
ung up the phone and waited for Nina to send him the address.
After sending John the address, Nina called Noah and told him that she was coming back to North Yard. Noah just said "Okay" and hung up.
Half an hour later, Nina heard the apartnt door open.
Only Noah who was the owner of the apartnt could open the door.
"Noah? Is that you?" Nina stuck her head out of her bedroom door and listened carefully to the footsteps.
"I'm ho." It was Noah's hoarse voice. But upon listening more carefully, Nina heard two completely different kinds of footsteps.
Noah walked steadily and lightly. The other footfalls were not only heavy but also slow and deliberate, like those of soone with a bad intention.
"Are you with soone?" Nina had always been sensitive. As Noah's career was always accompanied by danger, she decided to be vigilant. Slowly and carefully, she shut her bedroom door and waited behind it.
This ti, Noah stopped instead of replying. The heavy footsteps started approaching her bedroom. Nina felt the small hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.
As the footsteps neared, Nina stepped aside and prepared herself to kick whoever ca bursting through her door.
