Chapter 124 - 124: The General
At the Su Villa...
Three military cars drove through the Su Villa gate after the guard opened it, it stopped a few meters away from Evan.
The door was opened in a rush and General Bing in his military uniform came down, behind him was another two military soldiers.
With big steps, General Bing walked forward to Evan, he could see the frown on his face and the concern flashing in his eyes.
"You need to find her Bing," Evan said without greeting him.
Bing was about to speak when Evan turned his back and walked inside the villa, he followed him while giving his order to the two lieutenants behind him.
As he walked inside, two men who had a wrestler body were sitting on the long sofa staring at the laptop on the coffee table showing a map.
"Any news?" Evan asked as he approached the couch.
Robert and Scott came earlier than the General, they have been trying to track Daniella but they couldn"t find her.
When Robert shook his head, Evan blew out a sigh, he knew that it will be hard to track Daniella and the two men haven"t explained to him how were they trying to track her.
Evan turned to the General, the face was grave serious while hands were balled into fists.
"Daniella and Selena left the villa on a motorcycle. Maybe if we check all the CCTV"s on the road, we would be able to track them," Evan suggested to Bing but the General had already asked his lieutenants to do it while they were still on the road.
"I have some soldiers on the road, they are gathering CCTV footage from the street. Don"t worry, we will find them," he tried consoling his friend by placing a hand on his shoulder.
Evan nodded; his sight turned to Robert when the man called his name.
"We have the footage and ahm..." he paused and slightly turned his laptop so that Evan and the General can have a good look at the photo he was showing to them.
"They stopped at the cemetery," he gulped hard, clicked the next slide showing another photo with SUV following Daniella"s motorcycle.
"I don"t know who"s the driver. I have run the plates and it"s under Daniella"s name."
Evan squinted and drew nearer to the photo with the cemetery. Realizing where Daniella went, a vast relief flooded his mind, making his body calm.
"So, they just visited Kierry"s grave," he blew in a sigh, supported his body by laying his hand on the armchair of the sofa.
"This is serious Evan!" suddenly Scott exclaimed.
And with that, Evan"s heart pounded again, "what do you mean?"
Pointing a finger at the photo of the black SUV following Daniella, Scott spoke, "Daniella doesn"t have any car under her name so whoever driving this car must have done something to her. We can"t track her Evan. It means she"s in danger," his voice sounded so firm and serious.
"I am really confused on how you are tracking her. Mind explaining it?" he asked with one brow-raising in confusion.
"We can"t track the chip in her brain. It only happened when she"s in the forest where signals are weak but the cemetery is not that far so she must be unconscious," Robert explained, opened the image folder in his laptop and showed the photo of Daniella"s brain x-ray.
"What chip are you talking about?" confusion filled his mind; he remembered his father talking about a chip but he had forgotten about it.
Realizing that he spoke too much, Robert"s nose wrinkled.
"You are so dead dude," Scott whispered from his side.
Robert glared at him and turned to Evan, "she hasn"t told you about that thing in her brain?" he flashed an awkward smile, hoping for Evan to say yes so Daniella wouldn"t kill him later.
But Evan shook his head and at that moment, Robert felt his world crumbling.
Nodding his head while fear slowly paled his face, Robert spoke, "I thought so too," he sighed and tapped on the keyboard with his trembling fingers.
Bing was perplexed with what"s going on, even the photo of the x-ray didn"t make sense to him.
Out of nowhere, one of the lieutenants called out the General.
"General, we found the motorcycle. We have a soldier tailing them and they are taking the road on the way here."
"Are you sure it"s them?" Evan spoke before Bing could reply.
"Yes, Sir." the lieutenant snappily replied.
"Great!" Evan blew out a shaky sigh, brushed a hand over his face and walked towards the door, waiting for Daniella to come.
Time pa.s.sed but no sign of Daniella, and it started to make Evan feel nervous again.
"Where is she Bing?" he asked the general waiting next to him.
Bing turned to look at Evan with a flat face, "calm down, I have a soldier with her. She"s safe."
"Is she?" Evan spoke unconsciously, his mind wondered about her chip and the car that was following her. Deep inside he started to think whether he should get her more security or not.
Soon, Mark came, "I can"t find her boss," he reported to Evan.
Evan narrowed his eyes and stared at Mark like he wanted to rip his body apart.
"Next time, keep your eyes on Daniella. You"ve been slipping lately Mark," he said in anger, not hiding the irritation in his voice.
"Sorry boss," he bowed as he apologized to Evan.
"Get some rest so you will be fresh to follow Daniella tomorrow," Evan ordered and asked Anders to prepare a room for Mark.
After Mark disappeared in his sight, Evan looked at the gate again.
"d.a.m.n it! When are they coming?" Evan mumbled, despite the anxiety running in his mind, his body remained stiffed standing by the door.
--
Meanwhile, Daniella needed to slowly, she had Selena in front of her in the motorcycle and she found it hard to drive with the drunk girl in front of her.
Selena was facing her; her weak arms were wrapped around her waist and face buried on her shoulder.
As they drove their way back to the Villa, Selena suddenly woke up.
Still fuzzed from the alcohol, she mumbled, "Daniella, I want to puke."
Hearing that, Daniella"s eyes swelled, she immediately pulled on the side but before she could stop and jump from the motorcycle, Selena has opened her mouth and puked all the alcohol and food from her stomach.
Daniella"s body shivered when the hot and smelly liquid dropped on her body, she didn"t move and just let Selena puke all over her.
Some of the puke went to Selena"s clothes, Daniella groaned in disgust and waited until she"s done.
Slowly, Daniella pushed Selena away. She got down from the motorcycle and looked around for a taxi but the road was empty and dark.
With no hope, Daniella opened her motorcycle compartment and took out the extra shirt she had inside. She removed her clothes and threw them aside. As she was about to wear it, she realized that Selena was also soaked in her own puke.
She blew a sigh; removed Selena"s clothes and replaced it with her extra shirt.
"Ms. Chen."
Out of nowhere, a voice sounded from somewhere, Daniella turned and found a man in a military uniform.
"How did you know my name?" she asked with eyes narrowing in suspicion.
"The military general ordered us to find you," he said.
She scoffed while shaking her head, "why would your General be looking for me?"
"Mr. Su asked to have the military look for you."
Dumbfounded by his words, Daniella tilted her head.
She blinked and nodded; she could see in his eyes that he"s telling the truth.
"Do you have an extra shirt?" she asked as she embraced her body, feeling the cold wind on her skin has made her shiver.
The soldier shook his head, "I only have these," he replied looking down at his uniform.
"Can I borrow it? I am really cold," she said in a faint voice, hoping that the giant soldier with a face of undertaker would let her borrow his uniform.
The man just stared at her soon without a word, he took off his uniform leaving his undershirts and handed it to Daniella.
Daniella faintly smiled at him and put on his uniform; her jaw dropped when she realized that it almost reached her knees.
"d.a.m.n it! I am really short compared to this guy!" she blurted in her mind.
The man offered her to drive with him to the villa but she refused and hopped onto her motorcycle with Selena.
When she finally reached the Su Villa, the guard opened the gate.
Daniella"s eyebrows creased as she looked around and found the villa surrounded by the military.
"Where"s your shirt?" Daniella turned to the source of the voice and found Evan with a man taller than him behind in a military uniform.
She smiled at him realizing the mess she had caused him.
"Babe, next time you can"t find me, ring my phone not the military alright?"
