The leader had just picked up the pen with his left hand when he suddenly paused.

would save them the trouble of having to prove to the Guerra family that she was still alive.
The leader's heart leaped with joy. Figuring that Lysander wouldn't be able to escape on her own, he handed her
the pen and paper directly, then stood by and watched her write, ensuring she didn’t sneak in any clues
In reality, such worries were entirely unnecessary, as Lysander couldn't see outside no matter how hard she
tried. Her gaze was constantly fixed on the four walls around her. Not to mention figuring out her exact location,
she wasn’t even sure if she was still in Harborbrook.
The only hope she had was pinned on this letter.
She swiftly penned down the letter and handed it over to the leader.
The leader gave it a once-over, confirmed there were no issues, neatly folded it, and handed it to his underling
The errand runner was the sman as before, and with familiarity bred from repeated encounters, he left to
deliver the ransom letter.
Two hours later, Olivia returned with the results of the analysis on the substance found on the button.
Josiah took the report handed over by Olivia and furrowed his brows. “Machine oil?”
“Yes. We've checked. It's indeed machine oil, and there are smetal fragments mixed in. They likely originate
from a metal processing factory or perhaps a scrap yard.”

“Understood.”

Meanwhile, a doctor who had been summoned by Olivia earlier handed Josiah a glass of water. After accepting it,
Josiah drained the glass in one gulp.
The family doctor gently suggested to him, “Mr. Guerra, the sedative will take effect shortly. It can, to a certain
extent, counteract the effects of other drugs in your system. However, your external injuries are quite severe.
The bandaging is only a temporary solution to stop the bleeding. It would be best if you went to the hospital to
get stitches.”
The wound in the palm of his hand was quite deep, appearing particularly gruesome. Despite being wrapped in
several layers of gauze, it was still seeping blood, severely limiting his movements.
Taking a deep breath, Josiah asked, “Do you know how to stitch?”
The family doctor paused for a moment before responding, “Of course.”
Josiah nodded. “That's good. Please tend to my wounds quickly.”
“Huh?” The family doctor couldn’t help but question his own hearing. “Mr. Guerra, | only brought a simple
medical kit with me. | can’t administer anesthesia.”
The thought of threading a needle through flesh without even using an anesthetic was enough to send shivers
down anyone's spine.
Josiah himself was utterly nonchalant about it. “I know, but it doesn’t matter as long as | can get stitched up. |
have important matters to attend to. | can’t afford to waste tin the hospital.”
The family doctor had no choice but to grit his teeth and carry on.
Once the wound was stitched up, Josiah was drenched in cold sweat from head to toe, his clothes clinging to his
body.
Olivia returned, handing over the newly received ransom letter. “Mr. Guerra, Mrs. Guerra should be safe for now.”
With a slight tremble in his fingertips, Josiah took the letter. At a glance, he recognized Lysander’s handwriting.
He then read the letter carefully.
It read: Don’t hand over the money this time. Instead, find a way to buy us stime. Claim that the amount is
too large and we need tto gather the money. Then, arrange for a vehicle. I'll head over to the abandoned
industrial zone in the east.
“In the east?” Olivia had found dozens of warehouses, each in different directions. He hadn't expected Josiah to
directly determine the search direction.
“Tis of the essence. I'll explain everything when | get back, Have someone from the secretarial department
stay at the company and prioritize finding the children. Their safety is paramount.” With that, Josiah carefully
tucked the letter into his pocket.
They had been married for, three years, and he and Lysander had missed out on much. Regardless of their
willingness, many things had already bechabits, deeply ingrained into their very marrow.
For instance, his understanding of Lysander’s handwriting and writing habits.

Josiah didn’t wait for them. He immediately arranged for everyone who could make it to help search in the
industrial zone.
“Mr. Guerra, the target area is vast. Perhaps you should wait in the car first,” the bodyguard suggested, noticing
his pale complexion. Since his appearance, he hadn't taken a moment to rest, and the bodyguard was genuinely

After he had given his orders, he immediately set off for the factory building ahead.
The clues passed on by Lysander were extremely limited, merely providing a vague direction. He figured that any
place using oil must undoubtedly have machinery. After he surveyed numerous abandoned factories, his gaze
fortuitously fell upon a warehouse.
This industrial zone had once thrived. The reason business owners moved away was because they found better
locations. As a result, taking the old machinery with them was deemed uneconomical. They preferred to find a
place where they could store it for free.
Places where machine oil was needed weren't just limited to the workshop but also included the warehouse
where the machinery was stored.
Josiah shifted his focus, beginning to meticulously inspect each warehouse. Even those that were locked weren't
a barrier for him. He managed to pry them open using tools like pliers and crowbars that he found nearby.
Over on the other side, the lookout stationed at the warehouse rooftop was in a state of panic as he rushed over
to the gang leader. “Boss, we've got trouble. Someone's coming!”
