"How much are they paying you? We'll give you three times that amount." Lisa lied on the floor, her voice weak.

"Hahaha... how treacherous do you think we are? Let me tell you... we only have one employer; if we were prone to selling our employers out for money, we wouldn't have lasted so long in this business. I know you're rich, but I'm sorry. We were already paid, I guess you're just unlucky."

"Guys, let's go eat."

Then, the sound of footsteps gradually disappeared...

Lisa lied on the floor of the abandoned factory. It was deep into winter, and she was shivering all over

She was only wearing a white lab coat when she was kidnapped, and the piercing wind blew her entire body stiff.

She wasn't in the mood to think about who was behind this kidnapping; all she hoped was that Jungkook wouldn't come himself...

Or else... they might both die here.

After Jungkook got off the phone with the kidnappers, he felt somewhat relieved; at least those people were willing to contact him.

Just then, Bambam called again.

"Kook, we located Lisa's cellphone."

"Where is she?" Jungkook asked hurriedly.

"She's off of Highway 4006, I've already sent people there, but they only found her cellphone, and Lisa was nowhere to be seen. I think the kidnappers were trying to confuse us and divert our attention."

"Okay. I got it."

"Kook, have the kidnappers contacted you? Usually, they will ask for a ransom within 8 hours," Bambam added.

"No, they haven't."

Jungkook wasn't going to say anything; after all, he didn't want to risk things and involve the police in case the kidnappers killed Lisa out of anger.

If that happened, he would live in lifelong regret, so he decided not to tell Bambam the truth.

"Oh... okay then, don't worry, I will get make sure all forces start investigating into this matter, and we'll screen all suspicious vehicles that passed through Highway 4006."

"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Jungkook lit up another cigarette as he stared at his phone screen.

He was waiting for the kidnappers to give him an address.

Jungkook contacted Director Jung after Lisa disappeared, so the hospital made sure to be discreet and didn't let the news out.

He was afraid that if word got out and alerted the media, Lisa might be in even more danger.

The others didn't find out, but Sehun did...

He had invested so much in South Side, even setting up the Oh Foundation. Therefore, he had the rights to know these things.

Plus, he also had eyes in South Side; the nurse he bought off would report to him about Lisa.

Sehun was having lunch with a client when he was told that Lisa went missing.

"President Oh, Dr. Lisa is missing," the nurse sent him a WeChat message.

Sehun's smiling face immediately turned grim...

"What happened?" he asked.

"She suddenly disappeared, and our hospital is in chaos, everyone has their own speculation. Some say that Dr. Lisa was kidnapped by aliens since she disappeared under our noses. Others say that Dr. Lisa might have died... and her murderer hid her somewhere in our hospital. Anyways, we can't find her, and the surveillance cameras are broken as well. Director Jung is making sure that this is kept discreet, but Dr. Lisa's husband already knows."
