Xander stared at her steadily, taking the cake she handed him with an expressionless face. “I didn’t let you win on purpose. I just figured that even if I didn’t run, you wouldn’t be able to keep up, so you don’t need to try to please me like this.”

Laura’s eyes sparkled. “I’m just happy. After all, they were all eliminated, but I was not, and I won eventually!”

Her face was as red as a bright apple, visibly overjoyed.

Xander averted his gaze, scooping up a piece of the strawberry cake with a spoon.

The sweetness melted instantly in his mouth.

His lips curved up slightly, but he remained silent.

After dinner, Laura staggered back to her room.

They all had single rooms, and only those who were scared stayed together.

However, Laura didn’t mind since it was just for one night.

Zayn said, “Tomorrow morning, I’ll have the butler bring us our school uniforms, and we can go to school together.”

Laura nodded energetically. “Okay!”

Zayn nodded and returned to his own room.

Xander’s room was next to Laura’s. He stood at the door, watching her with a puzzled expression.

Laura, her face as red as an apple and slightly hunched, swiped her card to enter her room.

Xander frowned, feeling something was off, and hesitantly swiped his card to enter his room.

Meanwhile, on the hotel’s first floor, several men in black suits, watching the surveillance on their laptops, could clearly see Laura entering the hotel alone.

A thin man pushed his glasses up. “Now that she’s alone in her room, this is the best time to act.”

A tattooed man quickly stood up, leading three men towards the elevator, instructing, “If the kid struggles, just knock her out. No nonsense, use the emergency exit.”

His subordinates nodded in agreement.

However, one of them was still confused. “Ben, why are we capturing her? Doesn’t Boss always say we don’t lay hands on the elderly, women, or children?”

Ben snorted coldly. “The reason is simple. This girl is Joshua’s niece. Joshua previously hacked us and destroyed our expensive malware. We need to settle this score by using her as a hostage to get what Boss

wants.”

He headed straight for Laura’s room, using a master key to open her door.

The room was quiet.

Feeling something was amiss, Ben drew his gun and cautiously entered the inner room.

Laura was lying on the bed, covered with a blanket, motionless.

Ben frowned. “Check on her.”

One subordinate quickly approached and saw Laura breathing with difficulty, her face flushed red and her brow furrowed.

The subordinate was shocked. “Her face is burning up. It seems like she has a high fever. Shouldn’t we take her to the hospital?”

Ben was startled and then smacked his head. “Are you an idiot? We’re the bad guys. Have you ever seen bad guys taking a hostage to the hospital? While she’s weak from the fever, just carry her out, you fool!”

The subordinate shuddered, then hurriedly hoisted Laura over his shoulder.

Laura was deeply asleep, breathing lightly, unresponsive.

Ben finally breathed a sigh of relief, pulling open the door, only to come face–to–face with a cold and youthful face.

Xander, one hand in his pocket and the other still poised as if to knock, was completely dumbfounded.

When he saw these men, his expression darkened instantly. “Who are you?”

Ben’s face changed expressions, and he reached out to grab Xander.

Xander dodged swiftly, reaching for his phone to make a call.

But Ben was quicker, pressing a gun against his waist. “Don’t move!”

Xander froze, his body tense. Holding the phone, he turned to face Ben.

Ben’s face broke into a grimace of victory as he sneered at him. “Come with us, Mr. Smith.”

The next morning, Zayn received the school uniforms from the butler and knocked on Laura’s door. “Laura.”

However, no response came.

He knocked persistently for a full ten minutes, growing more anxious with each passing moment, and eventually asked the front desk to open the door.

However, the room was empty.

Xander had also disappeared.

His phone was off and unreachable.

Everett looked bewildered. “Did my brother take Laura on a vacation to celebrate her victory?”

Zayn, speechless, smacked the back of Everett’s head. “Impossible! Let’s contact our parents first!”

Everett just sighed, rubbing the back of his head.

Why did everyone hit him there?

When they reached out to their parents, what they learned was that no one knew where Xander or Laura had

gone.

What was more, part of the previous day’s surveillance footage was missing.

The Smith and Yale families were in an uproar, and with persistent police searches, some clues finally emerged.

After the party at the hotel, a luxury business vehicle appeared at the hotel entrance, and the men who got out had a mafia–like presence.

Antonio saw this and immediately confronted Joshua. “Are these people related to you? You’re the only one who deals with these mafia types. Are they your enemies?”

Joshua anxiously reviewed the surveillance footage and ordered his men to track them down.

“Mr. Yale, we found them. They’re underlings of Joseph.”

Joshua was burning with rage.

Was it really his enemy’s doing?

Antonio was even more furious, grabbing Joshua by the neck and punching him hard. “If anything happens to my kids, you’re going to heaven with them, got it?!!”

Joshua’s face turned ashen, taking the punch without a word, and quickly returned to Muprary.

If anything happened to Laura and Xander, he couldn’t forgive himself.

Sixteen hours had passed since the children had disappeared.

Meanwhile, Laura lay groggy on the floor, slowly regaining consciousness.

Her head throbbed painfully as she opened her eyes, only to see a group of muscular, tattooed men playing poker in front of her.

Her hands and feet were bound, and she was utterly bewildered.

Where was she?

Laura propped herself up against the wall, staring blankly at the men playing poker.

One of them noticed her and nudged his chin towards her.

The tattooed man turned, raising an eyebrow. “Oh, awake now?”

Laura frowned warily. “Who are you? Are you human traffickers?”

Ben, holding a cigarette, scoffed coldly. “All you need to know is that you’re kidnapped. We want your uncle to come here with his goods to exchange for you.”

Laura’s heart skipped a beat. “Kidnapped?”

Wasn’t this the kind of scenario that only happened to female leads in TV dramas?

How could she have been kidnapped?!

Laura tried to remain calm. “But I haven’t provoked you, and I’m just a lonely, ignorant kid. Why would you kidnap me?”

Ben sneered. “Ignorant? You managed to break Knot’s virus, and you say you’re ignorant? Who are you trying to fool? You’re cunning, and I know it.”

He took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled a cloud of smoke.

Laura, stumped by his response, her heart pounding, pressed further. “What do you want to do now?”

Ben clicked his tongue impatiently. “Quit your yapping. You’ll find out when our boss gets here. Shut it.”

Laura was silent.

She needed to stay calm and think about how protagonists in TV dramas escape.

Suddenly, Ben added, “Oh, by the way, your brother is here too.”

Laura, shocked, exclaimed, “What? My brother?”
