The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 343: Calling for Reinforcements, One Million

Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Calling for Reinforcements, One Million

Michael Jennings stared at the miraculous scene, his eyes suddenly shining with delight, his face revealing a surprise, "Is this Violet’s location?!"

Luca Jennings’s pupils flickered, quickly pulling out his phone to call and sync the information with the police station.

Odessa, watching the direction the red string indicated on the map, had her initial doubts about Scarlett Jennings instantly swept away.

Right now, she eagerly watched the red string sway along, eventually falling above the Lishui District of Sea City, then started to circle around that area.

Seeing this, Scarlett Jennings leaned over and manually enlarged the map page, making the detailed map of the entire Lishui District instantly visible.

The red string immediately moved slowly along the main road on the map, but it came to a stop after reaching a certain position.

Odessa and Michael Jennings inexplicably looked towards Scarlett Jennings, wanting to ask what was going on.

Scarlett Jennings thought for a moment, pressed her finger onto the tip of Odessa’s finger, and squeezed out another drop of her blood to seep into the red string.

However, after absorbing the blood once again, the red string could only move sluggishly toward a certain direction and then stopped again.

"Scarlett, what’s, what’s going on? Is Violet on this road?"

Michael Jennings couldn’t help but ask.

Scarlett Jennings shook her head, "We are too far away from Sea City. Even with the blood of Ismeria’s biological mother as a guide, the sensed range is still limited; we can only roughly know it’s within this area."

Scarlett Jennings drew a circle on the map with her finger, right around where the red string had last stopped.

The Tracking Talisman operates based on the pull of blood ties, and although both Odessa and Michael Jennings are Ismeria’s close relatives, children are naturally generated from their mother’s essence, which makes the mother’s correlation with the child naturally stronger than the father’s, which is why Scarlett Jennings insisted on having Odessa cooperate.

But the distance is too great, so even with blood-tie tracking, only a general area can be circumscribed, not as accurate as a GPS would be, unless Odessa is taken there.

But in the four hours’ time, it’s enough for the kidnappers to change their location.

Moreover, the Lishui District is a district on the edge of Sea City, which leads directly to several provinces from here.

Those kidnappers have obviously done their homework.

In addition to fleeing the scene, the moment they kidnapped Ismeria, they discarded all electronic products on her that might carry a tracking signal, or else...

As if she thought of something, Scarlett Jennings suddenly pulled out her phone and quickly dialed a number.

The call was picked up swiftly, and without waiting for the other party to speak, Scarlett Jennings directly said,

"You go to the vicinity of Chang’an Road in Lishui District right now, help me find a kidnapped child."

The other side of the phone fell silent for a moment, then definitively refused,

"My next class is taught by Professor Gao, on the art of destiny, I can’t miss my major subject..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish, Scarlett Jennings bluntly quoted a price, "One million."

It seemed something was knocked over on the other side of the phone, and quickly, Ashton Todd’s voice came through without hesitation,

"Lishui District, Chang’an Road, right? I’ll be there in half an hour. Send me the target’s birth date and time."

After speaking, he hung up the phone with a snap.

Obviously, he’s going to take leave.

Scarlett Jennings then asked for Ismeria’s birth details and sent them over, noticing that both Michael Jennings and Odessa were still eagerly looking at her, she briefly explained,

"Oh, I’ve called in some remote assistance."

Ashton Todd might not seem too reliable at times, but he has one advantage: as long as you pay him enough, he will tenaciously stick with you to the end.

But just a birth date and time can only determine a rough location, Scarlett Jennings hired Ashton Todd mainly to link up with him remotely through Talisman Array.

Put simply, it’s to use an identical Talisman Array to connect both individuals’ Spiritual Power remotely, which is usually for the purpose of remote protection.

However, Scarlett Jennings made a slight modification, which happened to be useful now.

As long as the Array connects Ashton Todd’s location, she could link the scent of Ismeria captured from Odessa with his location, virtually negating the obstacles brought by the long distance, allowing a more precise lock on Ismeria’s position.

As long as Ashton Todd is paid, he generally does whatever Scarlett Jennings asks.

After communicating briefly, they quickly set up a simple Talisman Array.

On one hand, everyone including the Sea City police force were all out searching for Ismeria’s whereabouts.

Meanwhile, Ismeria Jennings slowly woke up inside a van.

The smell inside the van was unpleasant, with the air conditioning mixed with the scent of cheap air freshener, and some odors like sweat and old fabric were also mingling in.

While the odor might be tolerable for the average person, for Ismeria Jennings, who was brought up in a life of luxury, it was unbearably foul.

But it wasn’t the stench that woke Ismeria up.

She was roused early by an inexplicable heat in her chest.

In a daze, Ismeria recalled that it seemed like she was wearing the jade token given to her by Sister Scarlett.

It was an amulet.

Because she gifted a little beauty a diamond crown worth over five million, her sister said it was a return gift.

Ismeria had been wearing it around her neck ever since.

She knew that her grandfather, uncle, and older cousin all had one just like it.

Ismeria didn’t have time to ponder about the jade token, as she soon realized her face was pressed against a somewhat rough cushion.

Not only did it smell, but it wasn’t made of leather, making her cheek feel uncomfortable.

This was clearly not the car from her family.

Suddenly, Ismeria remembered.

She was supposed to be on a school trip to the Science Museum today.

On the way, her teacher left due to stomach pain, and she was then lured away by something in the hands of a staff member at the museum, followed by a pungent odor.

Then she lost consciousness.

From a young age, Ismeria was taught about the dangers she could face when alone outside, including abduction.

Apparently, kidnappings are a rite of passage for children of wealthy families; her father was also kidnapped as a child.

Ismeria realized she had been abducted.

To say she wasn’t scared would be a lie, but along with fear, there was an underlying thrill.

She instinctively touched the pockets of her clothes.

The object was still there.

Just as she was about to carefully take out what was in her pocket, a rough male voice suddenly came from above.

"Why is this little girl awake? Wasn’t she supposed to be out for at least three to four hours?"

"Shh! Did we buy a fake product? Maybe we should tie her up after all."

"Tie her up? Do you want to make it obvious to everyone that we’re kidnappers?"

A man and a woman conversed back and forth.

Hearing that they wanted to tie her up, Ismeria sprung up and shrank into a corner.

"Don’t tie me up! I won’t move!"

Seeing Ismeria’s cowering look, one of the men with a black mask laughed,

"Heh, the little girl knows the score. Relax, we won’t tie you up. There’s a checkpoint coming up, and if you dare make any noise, don’t blame me—heh heh..."

The man said, flashing a small knife with a cold laugh.

Ismeria was instantly terrified by the knife, her eyes brimming with tears. In this moment, fear has overshadowed the thrill, and she dared not move.

A knife cutting into flesh would be incredibly painful.

Indeed, as the man mentioned, their vehicle encountered a police inspection at the next intersection; Ismeria obediently huddled next to the woman.

She was dressed in different clothes and her face was darkened; the man and woman in the back seat pretended to be her parents, and the officer didn’t recognize her. freewebnoveℓ.com

Ismeria didn’t dare to speak out, for a knife was pressed against her waist; she couldn’t ask for help.

Soon, the car successfully passed through the checkpoint, and perhaps seeing that she was being compliant, the woman put away the knife, letting her sit between the two of them.

Ismeria, with reddened eyes, looked at the driver in front, inching her body forward.

Seeing that the pair made no move, she almost crawled to the back of the driver’s seat and, trembling, stuck the talisman paper she had secretly taken out earlier onto the back of the driver.

Simultaneously, following the instructions taught by Sister Scarlett, she trembled and whispered,

"Freeze!"
