Chapter 154 Dangerous But the Safest

"I know. I'll take care of it right away."

These investment plans had almost taken up fifty percent of the company's working capital. The longer it took, the greater the risk of losses.

If there were any issues with other projects and the funding chain broke, the company would be in trouble.

After Johnson walked out of the office, he flipped through the documents in his hand.

There was no difference between these documents and the ones he received two days ago. There were hardly any changes, but this time it was approved.

What did this mean?

Did Francis not read carefully, or...

But it didn't matter. Francis signed it himself anyway.

Johnson's eyes flickered, and he left the office with the documents in hand.

Nelson knocked on the door as he entered. Taking the opportunity to deliver the documents, he hesitantly reported the results of the search in the past two days.

"Mr. Landau... We still haven't been her."

Not only did he not find Lilian, but there were also no clues from Lester. It was as if Lilian and Courtney had disappeared into thin air.

Francis calmly flipped through the documents. "Then continue searching."

"Yes... But we have searched all the places we should have, and I don't know where else to look..."

Nelson said with some embarrassment. He considered himself to have strong work abilities, but this time there was no progress at all.

Francis paused. He suddenly closed the documents and glanced at Nelson.

"Nelson, you need to learn to think more." C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Ah... Yes, I understand. I'll think of another way."

Francis said, "What I mean is, sometimes what your eyes see may not be the truth. Understand?"

Nelson was stunned for a few seconds. Honestly, he didn't understand.

"Mr. Landau, forgive my stupidity... Please enlighten me."

Francis impatiently threw the documents onto the table. The force was not strong, but the noise was loud, causing Nelson to tremble.

Francis leaned back in his chair, staring at Nelson with a gaze full of intimidation.

Nelson's forehead started to sweat.

After a while, Francis said, "Have you heard the saying that the most dangerous place is also the safest place?"

"What can you find by constantly looking in the direction they disappeared in on the surveillance footage?"

Only then did Nelson suddenly realize. "I understand. I will go look right away!"

Francis tugged at his tie with some irritation. Then he directly took it off and threw it into the drawer.

After Nelson came out, he immediately arranged for people to search in the city center.

Previously, due to his habitual thinking, he always believed that the place where Courtney and Lilian disappeared was definitely where they were hiding.

As a result, the more he searched, the further he went, and he forgot about the city center.

No normal person would think that someone trying to escape would hide in the city center, right?

That would completely defeat the purpose of escaping, wouldn't it?

Although Nelson was puzzled, he dared not argue. After all, he had been searching for days but got no clues.

What if Francis's guess was correct?

When Lilian woke up, she found herself lying on a bed.

She opened her eyes and stared at the white ceiling for a few seconds. Remembering what happened before, she suddenly sat up.

It was already dark outside, but she could vaguely see the buildings.

Johnson didn't tie her up, so her first reaction was to escape, to run out of there and find someone to save Courtney.

She lifted the blanket and found herself wearing an oversized T-shirt. It was very thin, almost like nothing.

Even if she dared to go out like this, she would probably freeze to death.

Lilian got off the bed and searched for clothes in the room. It was a two-bedroom house, and the other bedroom was locked and couldn't be opened.

There were no clothes that could cover her body in the living room, so she searched the bathroom and the bedroom where she slept.

In the end, she concluded that Johnson had taken her clothes away!

She was about to go to the balcony outside the living room to see where she was, but before she could open the sliding window, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening behind her.
