Chapter 343 After ending the call, Gabriel urgently called the staff responsible for identifying the kidnappers and gathered a few of his most experienced officers to formulate the rescue plan.
Meanwhile, Shein sat calmly on the couch in the town at the Thompson family's old house, drinking coffee as if he were at ease.
However, Zachary frowned deeply.
"Dad, how can you still enjoy coffee at a tlike this?" Shein put down his cup and said calmly, "What else can I do? Will panicking help?" These kidnappers were desperate and fearless. The police would likely face significant challenges in executing a rescue.
Besides praying for their fate, he couldn't think of any other solution.
Rather than worrying, he chose to act relaxed, hoping not to be seen as weak by the kidnappers. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.

"He's..." Zachary glanced at the visibly anxious Wanda, hesitating to say more.
Shein finally remembered that Carlisle was the boy trying to pursue Wanda.
He frowned and pondered, "Where did that kid get his information from?" Zachary scoffed.
"I bet he's working with Jalen. Approaching Wanda was just part of his scheme." Hearing Zachary's accusations against Carlisle, Wanda snapped back, "You should be a ist with your wild imagination. If Carlisle were in league with Jalen, why would he warn us?" Zachary retorted, "He warned us when we were already surrounded. It was just a fake gesture to throw us off.
"You're so self-righteous!" Wanda turned her head away in frustration.
Zachary sighed.
Chapter 343 2/2 "It seems you still haven't gotten over him." Shein intervened, "Enough, both of you. That kid is merely a university freshman. This situation likely has nothing to do with him." With Shein's authority, Zachary had no choice but to fall silent.
Just then, the leader of the kidnappers walked in, holding a bowl of meat stew.
Speaking with his mouth full, he asked, “Are you hungry? Want sfood?" "No," Zachary replied defiantly.
"I am," Wanda retorted, seemingly contradicting Zachary on purpose.
Zachary whispered urgently. "Are you crazy? What if they put something in the food?" Wanda ignored him and stood up to follow the kidnapper. Shein also stood up and followed.
Zachary's stomach growled. Reluctantly, he got up and followed them outside.
Trey led the town residents to deliver food and breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of Shein and the others unharmed.

"Yes, I'll go get it right away." Trey's earlier bravado had vanished, replaced by a fawning smile.
The lead kidnapper cleared three spots at the table for Shein and his children, They sat down without hesitation, maintaining their composure.
Shein looked at the leader and asked, “May I Know your name?" "I'm Hendrix Evans." "Hendrix Evans?" Shein's pupils contracted sharply. The nwas well-known to him.
He was the infamous bandit Hendrix Evans, who had orchestrated multiple kidnappings and always managed to evade capture.
The fact that Jalen had managed to enlist such people was shocking.
"Oh, so Mr. Thompson has heard of me." Hendrix said, flashing what he e thought was a gentlemanly smile.
"Just a little," Shein replied, calming his inner turmoil. He pickedupam spoon and started eating silently
With any other kidnapper, Shein might have hoped to avoid paying the ransom, But Hendrix's involvement the 300 million dollars would have to be handed over.
mes Losing that amount would severely set back his competition with Yuriel.
