Pursuing Her

Chapter 384

“I don't care whether you believe it or not. That's your problem and it has nothing to do with the rest of us.”

Eustace didn't even bother to show him any respect.

“Bring Sophie in, Danny. Stop wasting time here.”

“Yes, Captain Sheppard.” Danny led Sophie in at once.

Eustace completely ignored Zachary while the latter simmered with anger.

You will become a laughing stock if you continue throwing a tantrum here.

“I heard Captain Sheppard has recently solved several big cases in a row, Captain Zeldon. Do you think it has something to do with this young lady?”

Initially, the capability of both teams was comparable.

Recently, however, Eustace and his squad had been so efficient that they solved several major cases in a row, thus earning the approval of the higher-ups.

Zachary glared at his subordinate who asked that question.

“What are you thinking? Solving cases depends on capability. What does that have to do with a little girl?” Having unwavering faith in his prowess, he never took anyone seriously.

“As the saying goes, Captain, there would be no fire without smoke. Our teams were evenly matched in terms of capability, but now they are much better than us. How can there be no reason behind that at all?”

Zachary was about to leave but changed his mind after hearing what his subordinate said. Instead, he found a stool and sat down, curious to see what trick Eustace had up his sleeve.

Danny brought Sophie into the room filled with high-tech gadgets.

“Well? Have you ever seen these things before? Do you know how to use them?” Though Sophie was technologically savvy, those were the most cutting-edge devices. She, as an ordinary high school student, may not be familiar with them.

Sophie turned to glance at him.

“Are you looking down on me, Danny?”

These old things? I'd already seen them two years ago.

Danny scratched the back of his head. “That's not what I meant. It's just that these devices are new, and we only got them a few days ago. Even I'm unfamiliar with them, so I'm worried you might not know how to use them. It's great if you do.”

I didn't mean to underestimate her!

Sophie ignored him and found a spot to sit down.

“Have you managed to track down anything?”

The higher-ups must regard this case with great importance, given the missing person's political position.

“We managed to find some leads, but they ultimately amounted to nothing. The last time he appeared was ten days ago, and we haven't been able to find anything since then. He seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.” Our opponent is formidable.

Danny gave Sophie all the case's documents.

The great leader's name in the documents had been redacted and replaced with initials.

“See if you can do something, Sophie. We haven't slept for several days, but we still could not locate him.”

There's nothing we can do now. We have to at least locate him first if we want to make progress.

“Okay. Let me see.”

Sophie sat down before the computer and switched it on.

“D*mn! Did you just break into our system right in front of me?”

This young lady is really something.

“Stop talking, all right? I work better in silence.”

Danny fell silent immediately.

Now's not the time to anger Sophie. As long as she can locate him, I'll do whatever she wants me to do. A person can't just disappear without a trace. He must have been taken away. But who took him? That is the million-dollar question.

Sophie tried several methods, all of which yielded nothing.

Danny waited by her side anxiously, hoping that Sophie could solve the problem soon. However, he soon became discouraged when he saw that all her attempts were futile. She tried various different methods, but none of which amounted to anything.

Don't tell me even Sophie can't solve this! If that's the case, the great leader is doomed.

At that moment, Eustace entered.

Danny dared not say a word upon seeing his captain's arrival.

This should be my job, but now I can't help even if I wanted to. I feel defeated.

“Still no clues?” Eustace asked Danny, who was standing at the side.

The latter could only shake his head in response.

“I think there's nothing we can do this time, Captain Sheppard.” Although Danny didn't want to admit it, it had been more than ten days since the great leader went missing.

Things are not looking good for him.

Eustace did not speak. Instead, he watched Sophie quietly as she worked.

I can only place all my hopes on her. I won't admit defeat until the last moment.

Danny had no choice but to wait as well.

Captain Sheppard and Sophie haven't given up yet, so how could I?

“Is there anything I can do to help, Sophie?” No matter what, I am still a professional. Our chances of success would be greater if I lent a hand.

However, Sophie shook her head.

“You can't help much.” She was merely stating an objective fact and had no intention of belittling him.
