At that moment, Hugo turned back to him, his expression filled with irritation. “Didn’t you hear what I said???”

“It’s not that, boss… No need to call a locksmith.” Henry stepped forward, examining the lock, then glanced at Hugo. “I can

handle this…”

Hugo narrowed his eyes.

After a moment of hesitation, Henry spoke up, “So, should I go ahead?”

Hugo’s brow furrowed slightly, his gaze icy.

Receiving the signal, Henry didn’t ask any more questions. He began to operate the smart lock, inputting a seemingly

random sequence of numbers that somehow followed a pattern. Hugo stood behind him, watching intently, his face

tense and his heart filled with unease.

He wished that all of this was just his imagination.

Standing behind Henry as he worked on the lock, those few minutes felt like an eternity to Hugo.

Finally, after a few attempts, the door clicked open.

Henry turned back, his eyes meeting Hugo’s.

Without a word, Hugo brushed past him, pulling the door open and walking inside.

Henry followed him inside.

The room wasn’t as messy as he had imagined, nor were there any signs of a struggle. Everything was as tidy as before.

With a quick glance around, Hugo made his way toward Scarlett’s room.

With each step closer, he felt his heart being pounded heavily by an unseen force.

Yet, when he reached the door, he stopped.

His gaze into the room seemed empty.

The bed was perfectly made, showing no signs of having been slept in the previous night.

So, since he brought her back yesterday, she hadn’t slept here at all…

Henry joined him, frowning as he noticed the room was empty.

“Boss…”

“Henry, call Rising Sun Tech and see if Scarlett went to work!” Hugo’s voice was cold, his tense jawline looking particularly

severe.

Even though he knew the chances were slim, he still held onto a sliver of hope.

Henry nodded and immediately went to make the call.

Hugo walked into the bedroom. Nothing had changed. Her clothes and shoes were neatly arranged, as if she had just

gone to work.

A few minutes later, Henry walked over, looking a bit hesitant. “Boss, Scarlett didn’t go to the office today. The manager

there said…”

“Said what?”

“Said Scarlett took a leave.”

“Leave? When?”

“Two days ago.”

“Did she give a reason?”

Henry shook his head. “No.”

Fists clenched at his sides, Hugo’s face was cold and sharp, his dark eyes filled with a chilling intensity.

Henry spoke up, worried, “Boss, do you think it was that leader causing trouble? The note he left implied he took

Scarlett…”

“Even if it was him, he couldn’t have taken her without making a sound. Scarlett isn’t someone to mess with easily.

Besides, he was injured, and everyone was at the docks last night. They didn’t have the time to act,” Hugo replied.

“Then does the note mean something else? But where did Scarlett go?” Henry asked.

Hugo looked around the room. It didn’t seem like it had been ransacked. Instead, it felt more like… the calm after

someone left home willingly.

“Henry.”

“Boss.”

*Check the departure details from Red Mark Base. See if any surveillance caught something. Also, find Scarlett’s address.

I need to know where she is right now!” Hugo said, enunciating each word carefully.

“Got it, I’ll arrange it right away.” Henry made another call.

Meanwhile, Hugo stood at the bedroom door, his lips pressed tightly together. His dark eyes scanned every corner of the

room with intensity. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and walked out, expressionless.

Scarlett.

This better be a misunderstanding, or else, don’t blame me for what happens next!

In the car.

Henry was driving, while Hugo sat in the back, his face tense, exuding an air of obsession.

Henry glanced at him, not daring to speak.

He knew when it was okay to joke and when it wasn’t, and this was definitely not the time.

Just then, his phone rang.

Henry immediately picked it up.

“Hello.”

After listening to the person on the other end, Henry replied, “Okay, got it. Send the video to my phone.”

“And what about the address I asked you to check?”

“What?”

“Alright, got it.”

As Henry hung up, his phone buzzed with a notification.

He quickly forwarded the video to Hugo.

“Boss, this is the surveillance footage from Red Mark Base when they left. We’ve pieced together some clips, but

apparently, it was just a few of them. They only had a bag with them, so there’s no way they could have taken Ms. Adler!”

“As for Ms. Adler…”

Hugo watched him intently. “Speak!”

“They say that every time they try to track Ms. Adler’s address, it comes up different, scattered all over the country. It’s like

it’s been set up that way, making it impossible to find her exact location,” Henry explained, clearly astonished.

He knew his friends were top–notch hackers, yet even they couldn’t crack Scarlett Adler’s whereabouts.

He was aware that Scarlett had some computer skills, but for her to stump his friends was truly rare.

At that moment, Henry was utterly amazed.

When Hugo heard the news, a cold smile crept onto his lips.

Of course.

How could he forget? She was the Shadow Walker.

The unrivaled legend of the hacking world, unmatched to this day.

If she didn’t want to be found, she wouldn’t leave any trace behind!

Even if someone did find something, how reliable could it be?

In that moment, Hugo was more certain than ever.

Scarlett, are you planning to disappear without a word?

Leaning back in his chair, Hugo’s gaze was intense, his long fingers adjusting the cufflink on his right hand–a habit when

he was deep in thought.

He had noticed something different about Scarlett these past few days.

< Chapter 368 Scarlett Adler, are you playing the disappearing act?

She had been unusually gentle, agreeing to his every request without hesitation.

Even when he suggested they move to the estate, she surprisingly agreed without any resistance.

He had been puzzled by her behavior, but now it made sense–she had made up her mind long ago.

Her actions seemed like she was leaving him with some sort of explanation…

The thought made his heart clench.

Scarlett, are you so sure I’ll follow your plan?

I’m telling you, don’t even think about it.

You better hope I don’t find you.

Because if I do…

I won’t let you off easy!

Hugo’s eyes grew increasingly fierce, filled with a menacing intensity.
