Priscilla was exhausted from crying. After that, she finally went back to her room to sleep.
Meanwhile, Mango ordered the servants to move the broken leg into the freezer under the basement.
At present, they couldn't do anything as everyone was tired and worn out from the situation. Therefore, Nathaniel immediately asked them to take a rest.
Meanwhile, Zion got into his room and turned on the computer. He entered a series of codes and was looking up something. A few minutes later, he came out in despair.
Tristan's traces could not be found anywhere. Was he really gone?
Zion couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he thought of how Mango was pretending to be strong and calm amidst everything that happened.
Then, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Zion looked down and saw a message from stranger. It turned out that is was Evangeline Xiao
He frowned and refused directly.
However, the other party continued to send a friend request. Seeing this, Zion threw his phone aside and ignored it.
Evangeline was so angry that Zion rejected her request. She immediately asked her sister to hack Zion's computer.
This time, Zion was truly enraged.
"Evangeline Xiao, will you stop it? Why don't you respect my decision? Don't you even have some consciousness? Are you stupid?"
"Shut up."
Evangeline was happy when Zion had sent her a video. However, she was agitated and furious after being scolded by him.
"I just want to add you as a friend. Why are you so cold? I won't do anything to you!"
"I hate you. Do you get it? I don't like you, and I hate you! So please stay away from me, okay?"
After that, Zion hung up the phone directly.
It was the first time that he had been so rude to a girl.
No, Evangeline was not a girl.
After all, which girl would take off a boy's pants in their first meeting?
Zion would remember this for the rest of his life!
On the other hand, Evangeline looked at the phone that had been hung up. Then, her eyes suddenly turned teary.
Zion actually said that he hated her!
How could people hate her? She was such a lovely child!
Evangeline didn't know that Zion was upset because of Tristan's disappearance. She was just a child, so she had a simple mindset. She liked him, so she wanted to play with him. Was there anything wrong with that?
After quickly repairing the computer, Zion didn't give up and went to investigate Desmond's whereabouts again. Unfortunately, he still found nothing.
This was strange.
There should be some traces of movement no matter where their location was. Besides, Desmond had the internal chip that Mr. Ye had installed. Even if the tracker had disappeared, the chip would have located him. But now, there was no trace at all.
Thinking of this, Zion hurriedly went to Nathaniel's room.
"Mr. Ye!" "Shh..."
Nathaniel immediately silenced him.
Suddenly, Zion realized that his mommy had fallen asleep. He was glad that she finally got some rest.
"Let's go out and talk."
Nathaniel brought Zion to the courtyard after saying this.
"Did you find anything?"
He always knew about his son's amazing skills. Therefore, he was relieved and had the time to take care of his wife. Hence, he couldn't help but ask this when he noticed Zion's distressed expression.
Zion quickly replied, "Yes, I remember you saying that Desmond has a chip in his body."
"Yes, it's located under the skin. It's not easily discoverable."
Nathaniel answered hurriedly.
Zion frowned and said, "I've searched it, but I couldn't find any trace of Tristan. So I searched for Desmond's whereabouts, but I still didn't find anything. The chip seems to have malfunctioned. Mr. Ye, this is not normal."
Nathaniel suddenly thought of something.
"Someone is preventing Desmond from contacting the outside world."
"I have the same guess! But who could that person be? Could it be the mastermind? Did it happen in the Dark Forest?"
Both of them were clueless.
Just then, Ned came in.
"Mr. Ye, our men found another team of people searching around the Dark Forest. Maybe their target is also Desmond."
"Who is it?"
Ned shook his head when he heard Nathaniel's question.
"I'm not sure. The other party looked very cunning, but they don't look like people from Angolla. They looked like mercenaries instead."
Nathaniel frowned after hearing Ned's reply.
"Mr. Ye, could these people be working for the mastermind?"
In fact, Nathaniel thought so too.
But if the one who was looking for Desmond was the mastermind, then who was the one who cut off Desmond's contact?
The whole situation seemed to be more confusing.
"Continue to investigate this. If possible, let our people follow those people and see where they are heading to."
"All right."
Ned quickly left once he had received these orders.
