Carl didn't finish his water and quickly turned around to get his phone.
"What's the matter?" Leonardo followed and asked him.
Carl checked the screen and said disappointedly, "I heard my phone was ringing."
"No! I can't stay here any longer. I have to look for her!" Carl put his phone in his pocket, reached for his coat, and hurriedly walked outside.
When he came to the door, he found Leonardo following him.
Before he could ask, Leonardo said, "If you want to look for her, then let me drive."
Instead of sitting here to wait, it was better for Carl to do something. But Leonardo was worried to see Carl drive by himself.
Leonardo called his subordinate to ask about the situation while driving.
After the call, he turned around and said to Carl, "The people who kidnapped Jessica changed cars many times on their way. It will take some time to track them down."
Actually, what the subordinate told him on the phone was that they lost the car. Now, they could only turn to the police and wait to get the footage from the roads.
But if they turned to the police, there would be a lot more procedures. Perhaps it would take a bit longer.
Leonardo thought for a while and then buried the lead.
Normally, Carl would definitely be able to tell that Leonardo was hiding something, but at this moment, he was torn with anxiety. He had lost his capacity to think and doubt.
After a while, he put on a self-mocking smile, "I've never expected to have you as my driver."
Leonardo joked, "I am willing to be your driver if you paid me well."
At this time, Carl's phone rang again.
Leonardo stopped talking and waited for Carl to pick up the phone.
However, Carl didn't pick it up as if he hadn't heard anything.
