Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 269

I suddenly felt tense, and a sense of panic began to rise within me. I noticed my voice had changed. “Go ahead.”

“I had someone track his phone. It’s been located in an abandoned freezer warehouse” Neil paused, then continued, “It should still be there.”

“A freezer warehouse? I was shocked. How did Oscar’s phone end there?

Neil nodded. If you’re planning to call the police, you should do it as soon as possible just to be safe. Although I can’t confirm that he is there…”

I didn’t need Neil to tell me that something was definitely wrong. I immediately grabbed my phone and dialed 911.

I got the address of the abandoned freezer warehouse from Neil and gave it to the police.

After hanging up, my anxiety didn’t ease. I decided to see the situation for myself at the freezer warehouse.

Neil stood up. “I’m coming with you”

“But you’ve been drinking” I hastily put on my coat, “I can go by myself”

Neil insisted on coming. He even beat me to the door, indifferently saying. “You can drive, can’t you?”

Neil never liked Oscar, so he didn’t really care about Oscar’s fate

I paid him no mind. He followed me as I quickly headed towards the garage, then I drove off towards the abandoned freezer warehouse.
