Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 346: Looking for Hailey Smith

The location of Hailey Smith has been deciphered.

Godfery Shaw’s trusted aide, Clement, said seriously, "The location is quite far, in the suburbs of Riverwood City. Hailey might really be in danger."

Clement is in charge of all the network hacking aspects at the Imperial Garden. Everyone there calls him Jacob. With ear-length black hair, black-framed glasses, and a quiet demeanor, he always looks very shy.

Godfery Shaw nodded silently. At Basil Smith’s grand wedding, Hailey wouldn’t just head to the suburbs of Riverwood City for no reason, certainly not with time so tight. It doesn’t make sense.

He ordered, "Get ready to depart, Jacob, you follow along and keep track of the location."

Clement hugged his computer, nodding nervously.

Godfery Shaw and Nancy Allen got into the car. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Clement tried to follow into the car but was pulled back by someone behind, "Jacob, you take the next car."

"Oh, okay," Clement glanced at the car, where Young Master Shaw and Young Madam were sitting side by side.

The car door closed. Godfery Shaw looked at Nancy Allen and said again, "Nancy, I really hope you go back. Emma Lewis’s grand wedding; she would definitely hope you could be there."

Nancy shook her head and whispered, "I hope nothing disrupts their wedding, and I hope Hailey can return safely, and besides, I might be able to help you at certain times."

There was something Nancy didn’t say; most importantly, in a potentially dangerous place, she hoped to stay with Godfery Shaw.

Before leaving, Nancy took her small bag with some of the medications she usually keeps on hand.

Having been used to being cautious, accustomed to carrying some means of self-defense, after surviving a near-death experience, she’s toned it down a bit but still prefers to carry some items around.

Today is Emma Lewis’s grand wedding, and carrying a dagger would be inauspicious, so she brought some self-made medications that she previously stored in a locker. She grabbed her small bag before leaving.

Seeing Nancy’s resolute attitude, Godfery Shaw knew he couldn’t persuade her and decided to let it go.

They set off, swiftly heading towards the identified location.

Meanwhile, Basil Smith’s phone, which he didn’t have with him, received a video message.

In the video, Hailey Smith was tied up. A bony, scruffy man looked at the camera with malice and said, "If you want Hailey Smith to live, give me a billion. Don’t even think about searching for me, Hailey will die before you find me, and don’t call the police. If I hear any police movement, Hailey will die too."

The threatening ransom video was sent to Basil Smith’s phone.

But at this time, Basil was holding his grand wedding, and his phone was placed in the dressing room’s cabinet at the venue.

In a dilapidated old house in the suburbs of Riverwood City.

Hailey was tightly bound, with explosives strapped to her, unlike in the ransom video. She shouted at the person in front of her, "You’re committing a crime! I said I’d find a way to get you more money after I went home, why do this!"

Standing before Hailey, the man in his forties or fifties was Hardy, the biological father of both Hailey and Basil Smith.

Hardy smiled, showing yellow-stained teeth, and mocked, "With just that half a million? That wouldn’t even satisfy a beggar. You think I haven’t found out? You two brothers are doing well under Young Master Shaw. I want a billion, and he can certainly afford it."

Hailey struggled fiercely and cursed, "They say even a venomous tiger won’t eat its cubs. You sold us brothers for money back then, and now this kidnapping threat. It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have had a shred of hope for someone like you. I should have told my brother the moment I saw you, regardless of if you knelt, cried, or played the sick needing surgery for money."

Hardy mocked, "Hope? You brothers have even changed your surname, what hope is there. Wait, once I get the money, you won’t die. After all, killing someone makes it hard for me to escape."

Hailey wanted to curse more, but Hardy took tape and wrapped it around Hailey’s mouth.

Hailey couldn’t make a sound, only mumbled.

Hardy leisurely leaned on an old chair in the room, took out a packet of white powder, and started snorting it in front of Hailey.

Hailey widened her eyes, realizing what Hardy was doing.

So slim and skinny, he wasn’t seriously ill but was using drugs.

For a person like that, for money, he wouldn’t even care about his life, willing to do anything.

Hailey’s eyes were full of worry. Today was her brother’s grand wedding. She didn’t want to disturb it, which is why she hadn’t mentioned Hardy’s approach. Today, Hardy suddenly messaged her, threatening to tell everyone if she didn’t show up, saying Basil had made it big but didn’t care for his biological father.

They had already married into the Lewis family, a social climb. If this matter came out, how would the Lewis family perceive her brother?

Hailey couldn’t allow her brother’s wedding to be ruined, so she hurried to meet Hardy, only to get knocked out and tied up.

Now she feared her brother might be in danger. She had a tracking device on her, so they could find her, but they didn’t know she was strapped with explosives. If they rushed in, it would all go wrong.

Hailey couldn’t break free, nor could she notify her brother, sitting there in despair.

At this point, she regretted implanting the chip in her arm.

Years ago, their good friend was taken and killed silently. After that, those who stayed by Young Master Shaw’s side, including them, implanted location chips so that no matter what happened, someone could find them.

But now, this tracking chip would lead those important to her into a dangerous place.

Hailey frantically tried to loosen the ropes.

...

At this time, Godfery Shaw and Nancy Allen were hurrying over, getting closer and closer.

The red dot on the tracker hadn’t moved, and they were gradually approaching.

During this time, Emma Lewis had contacted them, as the two had disappeared from the venue for too long.

Godfery Shaw made an excuse, saying Nancy wasn’t feeling well and he took her to see a doctor.

Emma immediately said no more, urging Godfery to take good care of Nancy, as her health was most important.

They were nearing the location point.

The car drove into a patch of suburban land, slowing down.

Godfery Shaw instructed, "Nancy, remember one thing, no matter what happens, don’t leave my side, okay?"

Nancy nodded.

The car came to a stop.

The driver said, "Young Master, the location is just ahead. If we drive further, we’ll be discovered."

Godfery immediately ordered, "Everyone out, spread out, and approach the target from all sides."

Godfery Shaw had brought over ten bodyguards. He was here to find someone, not to alone indulge in risk, bringing sufficient manpower.

With so many skilled people and equipped with weapons, most issues could be resolved. He didn’t want Nancy to come not because there had to be danger but because, regardless of any slight chance, he didn’t want Nancy to be at risk.

Two trusted aides followed behind Godfery and Nancy, while the others spread out, gradually closing in on the old houses in front.

The position was clear, right ahead.

The surrounding old houses seemed abandoned, uninhabited.

Nancy was walking on the muddy path in high heels and a dress, looking so stunning that one might forget the tense atmosphere.

Godfery constantly half-shielded in front of Nancy, protecting her.

Nancy thought for a moment and linked up to Godfery’s arm.

Godfery looked at her sideways.

Nancy whispered beside him, "This way, you don’t need to get distracted watching over me."

The trusted aides following behind the two just thought the scene in front of them was too pleasing to the eye.

Once close enough, Godfery ordered, "Notify Hailey."

Clement immediately notified, and Hailey felt a slight vibration from the chip within her body, knowing that those coming for her had arrived.

But they couldn’t let them enter that house.

There were explosives!
