"Speak up! Where did that rider just go? Do you realize the nature of what this is? Snatching a child in broad daylight! It’s a heinous cri! If you aided him in committing this cri, then you’re accomplices! You’ll all be held legally responsible!"
Five delivery n hugged their heads and squatted on the ground, trembling with fear at the sight of more than a dozen police officers before them.
A few seconds later, one of them lifted his head and shakily explained, "Officer comrade, we’re not bad guys... It was Levi who said that the child was his cousin’s, saying that after she divorced, the child was taken away by her ex-husband, who wouldn’t let her visit and was abusing the child!"
"That’s right, that’s right! Levi said he felt sorry for the child, so he made a plan with his cousin to snatch the child back! He said the ex-husband was a thug and there would definitely be people watching, so he asked us to help him..."
"He even gave us missed work pay, a thousand for each person, and told us to wait here, saying he would pass this way after snatching the child. If anyone ca after him, we should help to block them."
"Officer comrade, we didn’t know Levi was snatching soone else’s child! If we had known what he was going to do, we wouldn’t dare to help him, no matter how much money he gave us!"
"Yeah, officer comrade, that guy usually seems pretty honest, we really didn’t think much about it and thought we were doing a good deed..."
"Officer comrade, please spare us, our families have both elderly and children. If we go to prison..."
Several riders imdiately knelt down and begged for rcy, tearfully pleading.
Although they didn’t get information about the whereabouts of the criminal from them, they at least now knew his identity.
After the on-duty officers reported to their superiors, within a matter of minutes, all delivery riders across the city received ssages, asking them to return to their respective stations as soon as possible and stop making deliveries.
That night, all delivery platforms suspended service, bringing their riders to controlled locations to assist with the investigation.
But the real criminal had already taken off his rider’s jacket and switched to a faster motorcycle, carrying the child in a suitcase, racing towards the destination.
"Lily! I’ve got the child! I snatched the child!" The rider said excitedly on the phone, seeking praise from the woman.
On the other end, Lily Garcia, who was still in contact with her brother, almost jumped with joy when she got the news: "Really? You succeeded? Levi Taylor, I didn’t expect you to be so capable! I indeed didn’t misjudge you! You actually managed to snatch the child from Christopher Hart’s hands!"
Hearing the woman’s praise, the rider smiled, a bit shyly saying, "I’m not that great... It was your plan that was good, and thanks to you for bribing a few colleagues, they helped a lot! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to run away with the child!"
"Is that so? Hahahaha... I even prepared for my brother to go and et you, but I didn’t expect you’ve already escaped! Hahahahaha... As we agreed beforehand, deliver the child over there, and I’ll head there too!"
"Okay!"
"And, throw away your phone! Your identity is now exposed; you can’t be tracked by the police!"
"Then how will I contact you?"
"No need to contact anymore, just hurry over!"
"Okay, got it."
After hanging up, Lily Garcia happily disguised herself, putting on a wig and a man’s jacket, dressing up like a woman just off work from a construction site, and left the house.
Her phone rang, seeing it was her brother’s call, she answered, "Hello."
"Sister, you finally stopped using strangers’ phones to call . Is this your current number?" Jacob Garcia asked directly.
Lily Garcia was now done using her brother and didn’t have the patience for him, saying impatiently, "Go and play, it’s none of your business anymore."
"Sister, what do you an? Why did you ask to go to Ridge River Premier? Are you still thinking about snatching the child?"
"No need, you’ve been useless all your life. If I relied on you, I’d have to wait until next life!"
Jacob Garcia frowned, considering the police cars that had just whizzed past the residence, and suddenly he realized, "Sister, you didn’t snatch the child, did you? Where are you? Do you need my help?"
Lily Garcia talked on the phone while walking, her tone breathless but her mind clear.
Seeing her brother becoming proactive, she suddenly beca suspicious, "Jacob Garcia, are you trying to trap by asking questions? Were you bought out by Christopher Hart?"
"Sister—"
"Jacob Garcia, you bastard! I’m your own sister, and you betray even !" Lily Garcia beca frantic, her voice shaking with anger as she cursed a few tis and hung up the phone.
No, she had to et with Levi Taylor quickly and get the child!
This was her only chance!
She had to snatch Christopher and Alia Garcia’s child before the police arrived!
She wanted that adulterous couple to watch with their own eyes as she threw their child down from the building, to see their child shattered beyond recognition!
Hahahaha—
Lily Garcia sat on the back of a motorcycle, suddenly laughing wildly as if she had gone mad.

"Hope, Noah!"
The two returned ho and just as they entered, the children ran up to them crying, Alia Garcia squatted down, hugging one child with each arm, crying uncontrollably.
Christopher Hart looked at the children, not even getting the chance to comfort them, as the officer approached.
The two shook hands, and the officer gravely said, "Mr. Hart, we have mobilized the entire city’s police force to search for them. All anti-kidnapping platforms and multidia platforms have released information about the children, and a reward for reporting has also been set up. We will imdiately relay any news we receive."
Christopher Hart nodded, "Okay, thank you for your efforts."
"Mr. Hart, no need for thanks, it’s our duty. The delivery rider’s identity has been confird, and officers have already checked out his rented house; no one was there. If Lily Garcia is indeed with him, they must have arranged a eting place in advance and are probably already on their way there."
Christopher Hart asked, "Now that we’ve confird the rider’s identity, can’t we locate him through his phone?"
"Yes, unfortunately, the phone’s last movent was on a bridge, and then the signal disappeared. We suspect the mobile was probably thrown into the lake; seems like the rider knows a bit about counter-surveillance—"
The officer was cut off as Christopher Hart’s phone rang.
It was Jacob Garcia.
Christopher Hart turned and answered, "Hello."
"Big brother-in-law! I know my second sister’s phone number! She has already snatched the children, hasn’t she? I saw a lot of police cars on the street, and—"
Jacob Garcia’s address was on the money, but Christopher Hart had no ti to care about that.
Seeing him babbling without a point, Christopher Hart interrupted urgently, "You know Lily Garcia’s phone number?"
"Yeah! She just—"
"No nonsense, give Lily Garcia’s mobile number!" Christopher Hart turned and switched the phone to speaker, "Captain Lee, we have Lily Garcia’s mobile number, can you locate it quickly?"
Upon hearing this, Captain Lee imdiately summoned the technical surveillance officer.
"We can! If it’s quick, it will take maybe two to three minutes. However, if the location is in a crowded place, even with the position pinpointed, it may still take so ti to find the target."
