Hugo looked at her, his voice slightly raspy, “Scarlett, you’ve done really well. You’ve eliminated many

possibilities. Now we just need to check further back in this timeframe, and we’ll definitely find more

clues!”

Scarlett bit her lip, her cold eyes filled with fear and helplessness. After a long pause, she finally spoke,

“Hugo, Fourth’s disappearance is definitely not an accident…”

Hugo narrowed his eyes. He knew it too. The more they investigated, the clearer it became that this was

no simple matter. Someone was clearly behind it.

But what did they want? Who were they?

Even if it was a kidnapping, there should have been a call by now. The scariest thing was…

Hugo didn’t dare to think further.

“Whether it’s an accident or not, we must stay calm. Fourth is waiting for us. We can’t lose our heads!”

Hugo said firmly.

“But…”

“No buts. Fourth is our child. She’s smart and will ensure her safety. She’s waiting for us!” Hugo said,

emphasizing each word.

His voice seemed to have a magical power, slowly pulling Scarlett back from the brink of losing control.

Yes.

Fourth is a smart kid.

She’ll definitely keep herself safe!

Scarlett took a deep breath, looked at Hugo, and nodded.

“Scarlett, listen to me. I need everyone from this time frame onward. If Fourth was really taken, then the

target must be significant, which is an advantage for us!” Hugo said.

Scarlett looked at him and nodded again.

She knew now wasn’t the time to be sad or discouraged.

Hugo’s words made sense.

“I’ll find her!” Scarlett declared.

Hugo looked at her, “We will find her. She’s waiting for us!”

Scarlett nodded firmly.

With that, she sat down in front of the computer and got back to work.

Meanwhile, Hugo turned to the director, “I need the records of everyone who was on set yesterday!”

The director understood the importance of the situation and nodded, “Alright, I’ll get someone to bring

them right away!” With that, he turned and left the room.

Hugo looked at First and Second, “You two stay here with Mom, I’m going out to check things!”

“I’m coming with you!”

“Me too!”

Both First and Second said, looking at him.

Hugo could see their worry and said, “I know you’re concerned about Fourth, but there’s no news yet, and

Mom needs someone here with her.” He explained.

Scarlett’s attention was still on the computer, showing no reaction.

First and Second glanced at Scarlett, remembering how she looked earlier, and felt uneasy leaving her

“Alright,” First agreed.

“Be careful,” Second said to Hugo.

Hugo smiled at them, “Don’t worry!” With that, he turned and walked out.

Meanwhile, Scarlett was focused on the computer, reviewing yesterday’s surveillance footage. First and

Second stood on either side, helping her, not missing a single detail.

By the time Hugo left the studio, it was already dark outside.

As night fell, it was around the same time when Fourth had disappeared the previous day.

Hugo walked along the path Fourth had taken, stopping where she had dropped her phone. He glanced

around.

There was a fork in the road here, one path leading left and the other right.

Hugo checked the map, knowing that the left led to an exit, while the right was a dead end.

Without much thought, he headed left.

Along the way, he searched for any clues, but after circling around, he found nothing.

Being a filming location, even at night, there were many people shooting scenes. The crowd made it easy

to take someone away but difficult to find any trace of them.

After more than half an hour, Hugo returned to the studio.

The director brought over the personnel records, and Scarlett had already pulled up all the surveillance

footage, meticulously reviewing and comparing it.

“Any progress?” Hugo asked as he approached.

First looked up, shaking his head. “There were a lot of people filming night scenes yesterday, all gathered over there. It’s going to take some effort to sort through it all.”

Hugo pressed his lips together, his gaze shifting to Scarlett, who was so focused it seemed she didn’t

notice anyone else around her.

Time ticked by slowly.

It was late when the director stepped out to take a call. When he returned, he hesitated before

approaching Hugo. “Mr. Hodges, the police are here. They want to see both of you.”

At this, Scarlett looked up.

Hugo’s eyes met hers, and they both saw the fear mirrored in each other’s gaze.

Even First and Second, standing nearby, turned pale.

“Did they… find Fourth?” First asked the director.

Sensing their concern, the director quickly shook his head. “No, no, I asked. They haven’t found her yet. But

there are some things they need to discuss with you two.”

Hearing this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They returned to the place they had first entered.

After meeting with Hugo, the police were somewhat surprised.

Given Hugo’s status and the suddenness of Fourth’s disappearance, with her phone left behind at the

scene, the possibility of a kidnapping couldn’t be ruled out.

After questioning, the case was taken very seriously, and efforts to investigate and inquire were

intensified.

Scarlett remained silent throughout, sitting in the car, continuing to watch the surveillance footage, hoping

to spot anyone suspicious.

Fourth was waiting for her, and she had to hurry.

First and Second were also there, helping to keep an eye on things. All three had photographic memories,

and they were all tense, not daring to miss a single detail.

By the time the police left, it was already late at night. The director looked at Hugo. “Mr. Hodges, I’ve

prepared a room for you all. Would you like to rest for a bit?”

Hugo glanced at Scarlett sitting in the car. Every pore of her being radiated tension and unease. How

could she possibly rest?

With a dark gaze, Hugo replied, “No need!”

“But…”

“I need to find Fourth’s whereabouts as soon as possible. Please contact the crew members. If

can provide information about Fourth, I, Hugo Hodges, will reward them handsomely!” Hugo said,

emphasizing each word.

The director was at a loss for words, taking a moment to process before nodding. “I understand. I’ll

contact them right away!”

With that, the director got up and left.

Hugo turned back, looking at the person sitting in the car, his gaze growing even deeper.

Fourth,

You have to stay strong.
