Chapter 69 Burning Fury
“What if we have news for you, but you don’t keep your word?” A voice emerged from the crowd. The voice was young, and Finn Lewis didn’t care who it was. He spoke loudly, “You don’t have to worry about that. See that? That parked car over there is mine.”
As he spoke, Finn Lewis took out his car key and pressed the remote control, the nearby G65 beeped twice instantly. ‘You all saw, right? That’s my car. I’m leaving it here today. I’ll also post my phone number on the wall of this shop later. Anyone who can contact the police or reach me with information that leads to finding the little girl will definitely get two million! And if I don’t pay you, you can keep my car, which is worth more than 3.8 million!”
Although the people here weren’t wealthy, they understood the value of luxury cars like the Flying Horse. Despite its boxy appearance, it looked impressive, and everyone knew it was expensive. After what Finn said, he noticed a few people leaving the crowd.
Although most people living in this area were poor, it was also a messy mix of good and bad people, who usually were well-informed. Finn didn’t care about who found her, as long as she could be found. If he didn’t do this today and something happened to the little girl later, Finn would regret it his whole life.
The crowd quickly dispersed, and a middle-aged officer nearby sighed, ‘Young man, you’re making it difficult for us.”
“Police officer, if you don’t want to search, it shouldn’t be a problem that we do the searching ourselves, right? How am I making it difficult for you?” Finn said, grinning sarcastically. Afterward, he hesitated for a moment and then asked, “What about the old woman’s body?”
“We can only follow procedure, keep the body for three days. If no one comes forth to claim the body after three days, or if we don’t hear any news from her family, we’ll have to cremate it per protocol,” the middle-aged officer shook his head.
“I see.” Finn thought for a moment, handed over the paper bag in his hand to the officer, and said, “This money is from me, please try to find a mortuary at a hospital where her body could stay for now. If, after a week, no one comes to claim the body or handle the necessary procedures, you can then follow the rules.”
The middle-aged officer paused for a moment, then nodded, “Okay.” He then tore a piece of paper from the notepad the officer next to him was holding and wrote Finn a receipt.
Finn nodded gratefully and put away the receipt. The officer left with the old woman’s body, and the crowd soon dispersed. Finn went into the store, borrowed a piece of paper and a pen from the shopkeeper, and wrote down his phone number on it, leaving it outside on the wall, “Thank you, ma’am.”
“Ah don’t mention it, I knew you were a good person from the moment I met you. Ah, Auntie King has passed away, but the little girl can’t fall into those people’s hands. Dear, it’s not me saying this but, I’ve heard there’s a gang around here that specializes in capturing unwanted children, blinding them, dismembering them, and then begging for money. If the little girl falls into their hands, it would be truly wretched.” The shopkeeper shook her head.
Finn’s face had gone pallid. What he truly feared were people like these. Don’t think such people don’t exist. Those children begging on the streets, especially the deformed ones, hardly any of them were born like that. Many of their deformities were inflicted after birth, and most of these children were controlled by others.
There’s no point in him staying there. He had to rush back and ask Zero if there was a way to find the little girl.
Soon, Fishy Wells drove over to pick Finn up. Getting into the car, Finn’s face was still gloomy. Fishy Wells glanced at Finn surreptitiously but didn’t dare say anything. Julia Parker drove the car, Fishy sat in the passenger seat, while Finn sat in the back. What Finn didn’t notice was that after he left in the Ice Horse, two young men also quickly left the area.
Getting back home and shutting himself in his room, Finn immediately asked, “Zero, is there a way to find people?”
“Yes.”
“What is it?” Finn’s eyes lit up.
“I can conduct a broad scan of the entire city’s population, and it should take about twenty minutes to find the person you’re looking for,” Zero answered curtly.
“Then what are you waiting for? Go ahead and do it!” Finn slapped the armrest of his chair.
“I’m sorry, but you do not have enough points. A scan of a mega-city with a population of over 20 million requires 5000 points, and you only have 450 at the moment,” Zero replied coldly.
“What about borrowing more? You’ve lent me some before. I’ll choose to borrow and repay you later,” Finn said quickly.
“I’m sorry, but your borrowing limit is only 1500 points.”
“Damn it!” Finn was somewhat enraged, “Then why did you say all that?”
“Anger won’t solve the problem,” Zero added, without any change of tone.
Finn didn’t bother arguing and just remained silent. For now, he could only wait. High rewards brought brave men forward. Hopefully, the 2 million given away today would bring the news he wanted.
Time ticked slowly by, and when the city started to light up, Finn had yet to receive a call that would bring a smile to his face. Fishy Wells and Julia Parker, who had been waiting at home since dropping Finn off, were anxious. They had no idea what had happened, but they could tell that Finn was in a bad mood today.
At 11:30 PM, Finn had abandoned all hopes. If they couldn’t find her today, it would be even more unlikely to find her tomorrow. But just as he was about to give up, his phone suddenly rang. Finn picked up the call and saw it was from an unknown number, his spirit instantly revived.
“Hello,” Finn answered the phone gruffly.
“Is this Mr. Lewis?” Said a strange, hoarse male voice.
“Yes, I am! Who are you?” Finn quickly pressed.
“Haha, Mr. Lewis, it’s not important who I am. But I think you may be interested in information on a certain someone. Just then, the voice on the other end went silent. Moments later a familiar tiny voice came on, “Uncle!”
It was the little girl! Finn recognized her voice instantly!
