Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 499

Sophia watched the security footage again and deduced that Robin’s abductor didn’t work alone because the door was opened from the inside. Therefore, she believed this was planned from the very beginning. Soon, she recalled the question that the driver asked her earlier tonight. Did he already realize that we were being tailed at that time? At the thought of that, she patted her forehead in a panicky manner.

In the meantime, Zack, who was waiting for their return, eventually lost his patience as he decided to call up. When he learned that Robin had been abducted, he was shocked. “What?! Has Robin been kidnapped? Darn it! This is serious. Have you called the cops?” After receiving a confirmed answer, Zack remained silent for a while and said, “I’ll give my boss a call. He is a little bird, and he might be able to help find some useful clue.”

At this moment, Sophia no longer cared about her unwillingness to associate with John, knowing that two brains were better than one after all. Soon, she said, “Alright, thank you.” Without further ado, Zack rang John right away after hanging up the call with Sophia.

Meanwhile, John was reading some documents in the Constance Residence when he received a phone call from Zack. He then said in an indifferent tone, “What’s the matter?”

Zack said with an anxious voice, “Something big has come up! Sophia needs help!”

Not long after that, the police arrived and started to ask for information about the case. As it all happened so quickly, Sophia had no idea how she could elaborate to the officers. Thus, she only just showed the cops the security footage, while Logan pointed at the person in black and said, “We don’t know this fella, but he’s been sneaking around outside our room, and I bet this is a planned abduction. Now that our friend has been kidnapped, we don’t know how they are going to treat her.”

The police then proceeded to go through their security footage, but before they could decide what their next move was, John showed up. In fact, he ran to the room, only to find Sophia gone before he made his way to the security room. While John was panting, Sophia looked at him in surprise and asked, “What’re you doing? And what’s your hurry?”

Actually, John hung up on Zack and rushed to this place before the latter could finish what he was going to say. When he arrived, John placed his hand over Sophia’s shoulder and sized her up. “What happened? Are you in trouble?”

Zack, who witnessed John’s reaction, felt a little helpless as he said, “Boss, you hung up on me before I could even finish explaining everything. I said Sophia needs help, but it’s for her friend, Robin. You’re probably too tense, Boss.”

Upon hearing Zack’s words, John heaved a sigh of relief. “Man, I thought you were in some kind of deep trouble! I nearly had a heart attack for that.”

Sophia then shook off John’s hand from her shoulder and answered, “Robin has been abducted. If you’d like to help, use your connections to investigate the matter.” Meanwhile, John knew this was going to be a sticky situation when he noticed the police, but nonetheless, he gently said, “Please just wait in the room. I’ll take care of the matter right here. Everything is going to be fine, trust me.”

Worried, Sophia chose to believe in John that everything would be fine. Then, Logan came over and wrapped his arm over Sophia’s shoulders. “Come on, let’s head back to the room first. Leave the matter here to us.”

Soon, John’s eyes fell upon Logan’s arm, but he later dispelled his doubt, aware of the latter’s bluff character. At the same time, Sophia knew she couldn’t be of much help anyway, so she pondered and said, “Keep me posted on everything when you’re done.”

As the smarter of the two in dealing with the police, John knew what kind of information they were looking for. On the other hand, Logan couldn’t help but feel alarmed every time he saw the cops considering his historical rivalry with the law enforcers.
