Talia followed Adrian Jennings in a daze to the local police station to make a statent.
When they arrived at the station, the police’s attitude significantly improved after learning Adrian’s identity. Adrian found out from the police that the person who reported the incident was a man, and through technical ans, they had identified him.
This person was Ethan Grant.
A police officer said, "The caller reported that his girlfriend was kidnapped to Caelus and ntioned that the kidnapper might be ard. As soon as we received the report, we imdiately launched a search, and by the ti we confird the destination and arrived on scene..."
The police relayed this information privately to Adrian Jennings; Talia Rhodes was unaware of it.
Soon, their statents were completed.
Talia walked out of the room where the statent was taken.
"You can leave now," a police officer said.
"Officer, my sister has been kidnapped, please, you must save my sister... The person who kidnapped her... he’s a madman, my sister is only eight years old, if she falls into that man’s hands... I..." Talia was extrely agitated, speaking haltingly and sobbing uncontrollably.
Even though Jasmine Rhodes was the daughter of Talia’s stepmother, having spent so much ti together, Talia truly loved this half-sister. Though she never said it aloud, in her heart she had already accepted Lillian Young and her daughter as her family.
If her sister truly couldn’t co back, she didn’t dare to imagine...
The policeman said, "The suspect escaped by helicopter across the border, we are currently in contact with Aridia’s police, requesting assistance in capturing the suspect. We will notify you as soon as we have any news."
Caelus is already near the border, and the abandoned building Vincent Fletcher chose was not far from it. The helicopter quickly crossed the border into Aridia, at which point our police could no longer pursue them.
The police in Veridia had no choice but to contact Aridia’s police, requesting them to arrest Vincent Fletcher.
Vincent Fletcher and Eric Donovan escaped via helicopter, while all of Fletcher’s other subordinates were arrested.
Faced with Talia’s tears, Adrian Jennings knew that anything he said would be futile, so he remained silent, simply standing by her side, holding her hand gently.
At that mont, Adrian’s phone rang.
He glanced at his phone and saw that the caller was her uncle.
Reflexively, Adrian glanced at Talia.
Talia was still talking to the officer about Jasmine and didn’t notice Adrian’s movents.
"I’ll take a call." Adrian squeezed Talia’s hand gently and spoke softly.
He stepped aside and answered the phone.
"Adrian, Jasmine is also missing, where are you? Have you reached Caelus? Did you see Vincent Fletcher? Are Talia and Jasmine both with him? What’s the situation? Is there any hope of rescuing them..."
The mont the call connected, Shawn Rhodes bombarded him with a barrage of questions.
Adrian Jennings explained the current situation to Shawn Rhodes in detail.
When Shawn Rhodes learned that his youngest daughter had been kidnapped to Aridia by Vincent Fletcher, his hand trembled, and the phone dropped to the ground.
There was a burst of noise on the line.
Soon, a voice was heard again on the other end, it was Lillian Young, sounding as though she had lost all control.
...
After leaving the police station, Talia traveled with Adrian Jennings back to Oakhaven on a private jet.
Adrian told Talia about Vincent Fletcher’s demands and the rescue plan he had initially devised.
"So if Ethan Grant hadn’t reported it, even if Vincent Fletcher kidnapped Jasmine, you would have been able to rescue her, right?" Talia asked, hatred flashing in her eyes after she listened.
"Yes." Adrian lowered his gaze, "I just asked the police, and they told the caller was Ethan Grant."
"Ethan Grant?" Talia frowned deeply, "It’s only been a night since I lost contact with him yesterday, and normally we’re not in touch. How could he know I was kidnapped?"
"That’s what puzzles too. Initially, one of your friends couldn’t reach you and feared sothing had happened, so they reported it to the police. Later, I specifically went ho to remind both your family and mine to inform the police that you’d been found and not to report it again. Logically, Ethan Grant shouldn’t have known you went missing, let alone about your kidnapping."
After over three hours on the plane, Talia’s emotions had stabilized.
What’s done is done, and Jasmine had already been kidnapped to Aridia by Vincent Fletcher. After the initial breakdown and loss of control, she started to calm down.
"Moreover, he also knew I was taken to Caelus..." Talia calmly analyzed, "Soone must have told him about my kidnapping by Vincent Fletcher, or he has connections with Fletcher’s people; otherwise, he couldn’t have known so accurately."
Adrian’s expression beca serious, "The only people who knew you were taken to Caelus were..."
...
Jennings Family’s old residence.
Shawn Rhodes sat on the couch, looking worried and angry, waiting for Adrian Jennings to return with Talia.
Three hours ago, when Lillian Young learned that Jasmine had been kidnapped to Aridia by Vincent Fletcher, she was so anxious that she fainted and was now in the hospital. Shawn Rhodes stayed at the Jennings Family estate alone, waiting for Adrian to co back.
When everyone in the Jennings Family found out Adrian was safe, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Jasmine, knowing she had been kidnapped made the Jennings Family very concerned, especially linda Lynch.
But after all, Jasmine was not part of the Jennings Family. They couldn’t be as frantic with worry as Shawn Rhodes and Lillian Young were.
Seeing Adrian Jennings return with Talia, everyone stood up.
Shawn Rhodes was the first to rush forward to inquire about the situation.
Adrian Jennings comforted Shawn Rhodes with a few words, then squinted his eyes, scanning everyone’s faces, a cold light emanating from his eyes.
"Which one of you leaked that Talia was kidnapped by Vincent Fletcher?"
The Jennings Family looked at each other; the old lady was the first to speak, "What do you an?"
Adrian’s presence emanated a chilling aura, his jaw locked tight, his expression formidable, "Only you knew my plan, knew Talia was taken to Caelus by Vincent Fletcher. Before I left, I repeatedly instructed not to call the police, so why did soone still report it?"
"What! Soone called the police?" Selina Hughes gasped, her eyes widening in shock, "Could it have been Talia’s friend who reported it?"
"No." Adrian replied coldly, "Last night, I called Ryan Quinn and John Marshall, asking them to help contact and inform Talia’s other friends, including the person who initially called the police. They were inford, it couldn’t have been them."
Adrian’s gaze scrutinized each person present.
"Brother, don’t you trust us? Do you think it was us who called the police?" Selina Hughes looked aggrieved, "Before you left, you told us repeatedly not to call the police. How could we be the ones to do it?"
linda Lynch said, "Indeed, Adrian, although I was worried about your safety, in the end, I agreed with your rescue plan and wouldn’t have called the police to interfere."
Adrian remained unmoved, his expression still cold, "Of course I know it wasn’t any of you who called the police, but it was Ethan Grant. Still, one of you must have leaked the information."
