"Yes, Hart Villa District," Jensen Charm said. "Is it okay? Otherwise, you tell me your address and I can come and find you."
"Yes, it's fine." Grace Smith answered in a hurry, "I'll go to Hart Villa District to find you."
Hanging up the phone, she was completely puzzled.
For a moment, Grace felt a surge of emotions pouring out of her heart. It was an indescribable feeling.
Hart Villa District was an oddly familiar, yet strange name to her. It was very close to her heart.
In a daze, the place came into her mind again.
Hart Villa District reminded her of her suspicions regarding Little Gary's father.
She thought to herself, "That man lived in Hart Villa District. Is he still living there now?"
Grace had to ask Jensen about this the next day.
That night, Grace didn't sleep well at all. She suffered from serious insomnia and her eyes were bloodshot from the lack of sleep.
The next day, she looked pale and tired, so she washed her face and applied some foundation to look better. After that, she left home with a heavy heart.
"Alice, you send Little Gary to school. I'm going out for an errand. Please pick him up in the evening too."
"No problem, sister, go ahead," Alice replied.
Grace quickly took a bus to Hart Villa District. As soon as she arrived, she saw the place she had been a few years ago. The entrance gates were still the same as before. It was a very upscale community, and everything was as luxurious as it was before.
She had not come back for many years.
Grace got out of the bus and a police car pulled over.
Jensen poked his head out of the car and called her name, "Grace, get in the car."
Grace opened the door and got into the car. When her eyes met Jensen's bloodshot eyes, she was shocked. She asked, "Officer Charm, you didn't sleep all night?"
"Yes, I was working overtime." Jensen said, "After this, I'll take you to the newspaper office, and then come home to sleep."
As he said that, he handed a file to Grace.
Grace took it and took a look at it. There were more than ten notices of missing persons.
They were all young children.
There was also some information on child trafficking on it.
Immediately, she grew serious. "Are these all missing children's names?"
"Yes," Jensen said, "Let your newspaper office publish these. The money is not much, but after all, it's a matter of civil security. It will raise your newspaper's quality of content, and it still makes some money."
"Thank you, Officer Charm," Grace thanked him sincerely.
"You're welcome." Jensen smiled.
Grace held the file in her arms, she then felt very nervous.
After they were on the road for a while, Grace asked, "Have you been living in Hart Villa District all this while?"
"Yes, I've been living here for many years," Jensen replied.
Grace wondered and asked, "Officer Charm, were you already a police officer six years ago?"
"Six years ago?" Jensen thought for a moment and shook his head. "No, I just came back from the army then. What was I doing six years ago? Let me recall. Oh, I was living in a holiday resort. It was in the wilderness in the mountains in Northern City. I was there for half a year."
All of a sudden, Grace's heart was in her throat.
A holiday resort. In the wilderness.
Hart Villa District.
She turned to look at Jensen in utter shock.
"What were you doing at the holiday resort in the wild?"
There was a hint of restrained excitement in Grace's voice.
Hearing that, Jensen looked at her with an evil smile on his thin face and said, "I was flirting with girls at that time."
