The leader glanced at the photo and immediately recognized the girl in it.
She's no longer here!
"Two hours ago, someone broke in and rescued her."
The Black man frowned and asked, "Who is that person?"
The leader shook his head with a wry smile, "Never seen him before, he's a complete stranger."
The Black man looked up and glanced around, then asked, "Where is the surveillance data here?"
"This..." The leader hesitated.
The black man lowered his head, looking at him with icy eyes, the muzzle of his gun lowered.
The cold touch immediately jolted the leader awake. He shivered and exclaimed, "It's in the cabinet against the wall on the left!"
"The key to the locker is in my jacket pocket!"
The Black man looked up at the white PVC cabinet on his left and casually said, "Thanks."
'Bang!'
The leader's expression froze instantly, disbelief lingering in his wide eyes, and a trickle of bright red blood quickly seeped from the gunshot hole on his forehead.
The black man didn't rashly reach into his pocket for the keys. He first put the girl's photo back in his inner pocket before carefully using his pistol to pull open the dead leader's shirt.
'Gurgle~'
A small, spherical grenade rolled out of the tilted pocket.
A barely noticeable, semi-transparent thread connects to the pin of the grenade.
The black man got up and strode to the PVC cabinet, firing a shot that broke the lock.
Then, cautiously and slowly, he opened the cabinet door.
'Squeak~'
The cabinet door opened safely, and there were no traps inside.
His gaze swept over the row of disks neatly arranged in the cabinet and found the second to last disk marked with data from an hour and a half ago.
The black man reached for the disk, quickly walked to the Computer, opened the Disk Drive, and placed the data disk inside.
Soon, a somewhat blurry image appeared on the computer screen.
He manipulated the mouse, zoomed in on the progress bar, and quickly reviewed the surveillance video of Old Bryan from his appearance to his departure.
Next, find a shot of Old Bryan showing his face and freeze it.
Then I took a picture of Old Bryan's somewhat blurry face with my phone.
Finally, the Black man sent the photo to an Email.
After doing all that, he quickly dialed a number.
'Beep beep beep~'
The call was answered quickly on the other end of the phone.
" McCall?"
" Susan, are you busy right now?"
"I'm not busy, I'm on vacation."
"There's a photo in your private email account. Help me find that person's identity and his current location as soon as possible."
McCall, quickly added, "He was in Paris two hours ago."
The person on the other end of the phone didn't ask why, but simply replied, "We'll contact you again in half an hour."
"Wait a minute, Susan! While you're at it, also check the location of the Albanian Gang in Paris."
OK.
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
McCall put his phone in his pocket, his calm face concealing a raging fire of anger.
He turned and left, but after only a few steps, he quickly turned back.
McCall turned off the video and cleared the automatic cache on the playback software. Then he opened the Disk Drive, took the data disk out, put it in his pocket, and turned to leave again.
Meanwhile, in a guest room of a small hotel.
The girl who had been rescued by Old Bryan slowly opened her eyes.
She immediately showed a look of terror, reflexively closed her eyes, and raised her hands to try to block the impending slap.
Old Bryan, who was standing beside her, quickly grabbed her wrist and said gently, "Don't be afraid, girl! You're safe now!"
The girl cautiously opened her eyes and looked at Old Bryan.
His eyes were like those of a frightened fawn, timid and full of terror.
Old Bryan picked up the Embroidered Denim Jacket hanging on the bedside table and asked the girl, "Where did you get this jacket?"
The girl glanced at the clothes, but didn't answer immediately. Instead, she asked warily, "Who are you? Where is this?"
Old Bryan could sense the girl's nervousness and unease. He tried to maintain a gentle smile and said, "Child, this dress Master to my daughter. If you know anything, please tell me."
The girl's expression changed instantly.
Surprise... envy... sadness... disappointment...
"I was taken to a Red-Door House, and that's where I met that girl. She saw I was cold, so she gave me this coat..."
The girl recalled, "When we were leaving that place, I saw a sign on the roadside that said ' Heaven Street '."
" Heaven District ... the Red-Door House ..." Old Bryan knew that this must be the place where Reynolds rescued Amanda, and it was also a very important transit point for the Albanian Gang.
He patted the girl's arm and said, "Thank you, child. You're perfectly safe now. Those bastards won't be able to get away with this for the time being. Go back to sleep."
The girl nodded obediently. "Thank... thank you for saving me..."
Old Bryan smiled gently, tucked the girl in, and got up to leave.
The moment the bedroom door closed, a soft sob could be heard coming from inside.
Old Bryan's masseter muscles bulged, making his facial features appear very stiff.
He picked up his phone and glanced at the time.
15:16...
There's still some time before the Private Auction officially begins...
He walked quickly to the door, picked up his coat from the hook, put it on, and left.
On the first floor of the hotel, Daniel was leaning on the front desk counter, chatting and laughing with the receptionist.
" Mary, are you free this weekend? I'd like to have a barbecue party in the backyard..."
The receptionist, a middle-aged woman, asked with a smile, "Oh~ Daniel, are you sure you invited me, and not my Sophie?"
Daniel, with a shameless grin, said, " Sophie, if you have time, you can come along too~"
Aunt Mary immediately burst into laughter. "Hahaha~ Don't even think about my darling, Daniel Sophie already has a boyfriend~"
Daniel's smile froze for a moment, then he shamelessly said, "Really? Then let Sophie bring her boyfriend to the party!"
He thought to himself, "So what if I have a boyfriend? As long as we're not married, I still have a chance!"
Just then, footsteps came from the stairwell.
Daniel turned his head and looked over.
When Old Bryan came into view, he immediately stood up straight and asked, "Hey, sir, where are you going?"
Old Bryan asked, " Daniel, do you know Heaven Street?"
Daniel shrugged and said, "Of course I know, it's in the 8th arrondissement of Paris..."
"I'm the best taxi driver in Paris, I know every corner of the city!"
Old Bryan nodded and said, "Take me to Heaven Street."
"Okay, sir!" Daniel turned around and waved to Mary at the front desk, "Hey Mary, remember to have Sophie bring her boyfriend to the barbecue party this weekend!"
After saying that, he and Old Bryan walked outside together.
Aunt Mary shook her head helplessly. "That brat, Sophie has rejected you so many times since you were little, sigh~"
White Taxi speed through the congested lanes of Paris.
McCall, who had left the construction site, got into a taxi and gave the driver an address.
" Heaven Street, Eiffel Family Apartment "
