Thomas must have been loud, because the bodyguards outside heard him and rushed in, only then realizing that Yvonne was missing.
“You were all standing right outside the door, and you didn't even notice she was gone?!” Thomas yelled at the bodyguards, his voice laced with panic and anger.
After his outburst, he ordered his men to lock down the teahouse immediately, allowing no one in or out.
The teahouse erupted into chaos, with many disgruntled customers complaining loudly.
Thomas couldn't care less about the others. He had only been on the phone for ten minutes, yet Yvonne had vanished as if into thin air.
The teahouse manager pulled up the security footage. There were no cameras inside the private room, but none of the cameras covering the exterior areas showed any trace of Yvonne.
Just as Thomas was at his wit's end, Bennett arrived with his own men.
It turned out Bennett had placed some of his people among Yvonne's bodyguards.
Therefore, Bennett had been notified the moment something happened to Yvonne.
He strode up to Thomas and grabbed him by the collar, his grip so tight that Thomas could barely breathe.
“Thomas, if anything happens to her, I won't let you off the hook,” Bennett snarled, the corners of his eyes red with a ferocity never seen before.
After saying his piece, he shoved Thomas away and, led by a bodyguard, entered the room where Yvonne had disappeared.
“Ms. Jones disappeared from this room...” The bodyguard recounted every detail of what had happened from the moment they arrived at the teahouse until Yvonne went missing.
Bennett listened intently as he scanned the room for any clues.
He carefully examined everything: the used teacups, the burning incense, the sealed windows.
“I drank the tea too, and I was in this room the whole time. There shouldn't be a problem with it...” Before Thomas could finish, he saw Bennett put down the incense burner and speak to a bodyguard.
“There's something wrong with the incense. Take it for analysis immediately.”
After giving the order, Bennett walked over to the window and examined it closely.
