Chapter 279
In the room, even the sound of breathing could be heard, but if one listened carefully, nothing seemed to be heard.
It was so quiet as the video engrossed everyone.
The phone suddenly rang.
The slightest sound was enough to make them tense up.
Kylie and the others watched Ethan as he picked up the phone.
“Derick.” Ethan’s voice was calm.
It was not Stella.
Kylie bit her lip lightly.
She was so devastated that she would rather Stella take the initiative to contact them.
If so, she would give whatever Stella wanted.
Kylie could not bear to wait any longer and search for clues helplessly. She needed to confirm that Joseph was fine right now!
“Have you found that person’s whereabouts?” Ethan’s heart sank.
Kylie’s heartbeat quickened again.
She exchanged nervous glances with Ethan,
Ethan’s hand that was holding the phone was trembling slightly.
“Yes, we found him. According to the photo you provided, we checked the surveillance footage along the way and did some calculations. That person should be at a dilapidated warehouse in the Southwood District. We don’t dare to stay too close to him for fear of alerting him.”
“Don’t move. I’ll be right there.” Ethan made a prompt decision and hung up the phone.
“I’d like to go with you,” Kylie said firmly.
Ethan looked at Kylic. “Alright.”
Then, he turned to Joel and Xavier and said, “Wait for me here. Ill call you if there’s any clues.”
“Okay.”
Joel and Xavier spoke in unison.
Ethan left with Kylic.
At that moment, it was completely dark outside.
Three black cars stopped at the entrance of the apartment building.
At least ten bodyguards in black were waiting there.
Kylie didn’t know when they were arranged by Ethan, and she had no time to think much about it now.
She only wished to see Joseph as soon as possible.
Ethan and Kylie got into one of the black cars, which sped in the darkness the next moment.
Neither of them spoke.
It was suffocatingly quiet in the car.
Suddenly, Ethan coughed uncontrollably.
It was a forbearing cough.
Kylie turned to look at him.
She saw Ethan’s pale face and his hand covering his chest.
She felt terrible.
Ethan had just left the prison, and his health had been poor. Kylie thought that they had come through the hardest time. Even if there was still a huge problem for the Foster family, as long as they worked together, they could survive the crisis, and everything would be well.
However, Kylie realized that Joseph being kidnapped was only the beginning and might even be the end of them.
Kylie didn’t show her concern with Ethan.
She couldn’t say anything.
Only Joseph was now in her mind.
As long as Joseph was safe, everything would be worth it.
The car finally arrived at its destination.
At night, it was quiet at the desolate warehouse,
cent moon in the sky shining-
There was no light, only the crescent moon
Derick walked over, his breathing a little rapid because of anxiety “Mr. Hayden, they have been inside. We’re guarded on all sides and didn’t find anyone leave.”
“Has anyone else been in or out?”
“No, we checked the surrounding surveillance cameras. come out again.”
No one else entered or left this warehouse. That person
did not
“Did he bring anything in?” Ethan asked.
“No. There hasn’t been any movement since the person walked in. We don’t dare to act rashly, so I’m not sure what’s inside,” Derick reported. He then added, “The lights in the warehouse haven’t been switched on all along”
Ethan frowned.
With so many people inside, it was suspicious that none of them turned on the lights.
Ethan had a sudden premonition in the depths of his heart.
However, since he was there, he had to figure out what exactly happened.
“Pick two people skilled at martial arts and follow me in, Ethan ordered.
“Okay.” Derick quickly called two men over.
O
Ethan was about to enter the warehouse with his men.
“Ethan. Kylie grabbed his hand.
Ethan’s fingers were skinny.
If she could, she wanted to hold them tightly in her hands and take Ethan away from the danger.
Yet she could only let go of him and tell him, “Ensure Jos’ safety
“I will,” Ethan agreed immediately.
He understood the underlying meaning behind Kylie’s words.
She meant that even if he had to sacrifice himself, he couldn’t put Joseph in danger.
Ethan didn’t even hesitate and agreed to her request.

From the beginning to the end, he did not blame Kylie for not protecting Joseph well.
He allowed Joseph to live with her, yet Joseph was now in great danger because of her negligence.
Kylie let go of Ethan’s hand.
Ethan gave her a reassuring look and quickly led his men to the warehouse.
He did not dare to be rash and could only act carefully.
They approached the door of the warehouse.
Ethan leaned against the door and could not hear anything from inside.
He cast a glance at a bodyguard.
The bodyguard understood and took out the pliers that had been prepared beforehand. Bit by bit, he carefully broke the lock on the door and gently pushed open the door.
It barely made a sound.
He looked inside and realized that it was completely dark.
Even the dim moonlight couldn’t shine in.
A bodyguard walked in the front to scout the way.
Ethan followed him, and another bodyguard followed behind Ethan, responsible for protecting Ethan.
They walked cautiously.
The huge dilapidated warehouse was filled with the smell of dust, some building materials piled in the middle. It seemed that there was no one inside.
When they were halfway there, suddenly, some sounds could be heard.
Ethan and the two bodyguards had all noticed that..
They quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black shadow passing by.
However, it was too dark to see clearly.
A bodyguard could only chase after the shadow based on his instincts.
Ethan suddenly sensed that someone was behind him.
He turned sideways abruptly.
The bodyguard who was protecting Ethan stepped forward to block the man who tried to attack Ethan.
In the next moment, they started punching and kicking each other.
The bodyguard who had left returned to join them.
Ethan turned on the flashlight on his phone.
He recognized at a glance that the person fighting in front of him was the one in the surveillance footage today.
He did not pay attention to them and went to check if there were others in the warehouse. He looked around but did not see
anyone.
It was just as he had expected.
Stella was not there at all.
She left her bodyguard there and played so many tricks deliberately only to fool Ethan!
Stella had been with him for so many years and knew his style of doing things.
Ethan could not help but clench his fists.
“Mr. Hayden.”
A bodyguard walked up to Ethan, panting,
He reported. “We’ve beaten him down.”
Ethan turned around and walked toward that person.
“Where is Stella?” He asked, his voice cold.
