In the monitor room of Langford Tower
The security manager had dark circles under his eyes because he had stayed up all night.
He felt his eyelids were exceptionally heavy and kept dropping.
When he was about to close his eyes, he quickly opened them again.
His eyes were glued to the LCD screen as he examined more than a dozen essential images.
The security manager believed that if Elaine and Gilmore had left Langford Tower, these surveillance images would show the routes they had taken.
For the whole night, he repeatedly played the surveillance video that showed the corridor of Room No. 8, 50th Floor.
He saw Elaine and Gilmore enter the room, but did not see them come out.
Elaine and Gilmore seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Besides the surveillance video showing the corridor outside Room No. 8, 50th Floor, the security manager also repeatedly checked the surveillance videos of several other crucial places, but he did not find Elaine and Gilmore either.
Nevertheless, he had to check the surveillance videos repeatedly under Tobias’s orders.
On top of that, he had been watching over the surveillance cameras, hoping to find some clues.
It was already early in the morning. He knew he would not discover anything new.
The security manager had already reached his limit. He was so tired that he yawned and wanted to find a place in the monitor room to have a sleep.
After that, he would inform Tobias that he didn’t find anything later.
When he stood up from his seat, he caught sight of something happening on the screen.
He opened his eyes wide. There seemed to be something significant going on.
The surveillance camera facing the corridor of Room No. 8, 50th Floor showed something interesting, which astonished
him
The door of Room No. 8 opened, and both Gilmore and Elaine walked out holding hands. They walked along the corridor and entered the elevator.
The security manager was confused, but he quickly came back to his senses. He wondered, “Both of then were in the room all this time?”
However, when Tobias led them into Room No. 8 and made a thorough search, they did not find Gilmore and Elaine. Why did they come out of the room now?
The security manager didn’t have time to think about this.

When he was stunned, Gilmore and Elaine had already walked out of the lobby elevator and were about to leave Langford
Tower.
He exclaimed, “Oh no! I can’t let them escape!”
He immediately picked up the walkie–talkie from the table and shouted to the lobby security guards, “Listen up! All the security guards on the first floor, stop the young couple who had just walked out of the lobby. Don’t let them go!”
“Roger that, manager!” One of the security guards answered.
“Manager, we are stopping that young couple?” someone asked.
“Yes! Go after them. They have just walked out of the lobby. Yes! The couple who are holding hands! You’ll be sorry and punished if you let them get away!” The security manager shouted into the walkie–talkie.
“Yes, manager!” All the security guards on the first floor answered fearfully through their walkie– talkies.
Meanwhile, the security manager rushed out of the monitor room and ran toward the elevator along the corridor.
If Elaine and Gilmore managed to escape this time, Tobias would sack him. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
The security manager, anxious and agitated, took the elevator to the first floor. As soon as the elevator doors opened, he
rushed out.
When he ran out of the building, he saw more than a dozen security guards running toward him while panting.
The security manager asked them, “Where are they?”
While gasping for his breath, a security guard informed the security manager as he took out his cell phone, “Manager, as soon as we got out to chase after them, they have driven away.”
He added, “We couldn’t catch up with them, but we took some photos as a proof!”
After that, he showed his cell phone to the security manager and clicked a video to play it.
The security manager saw a luxurious, sleek and brilliant Mercedes Benz speed away and leave a group of security guards behind.
The security manager’s mouth twitched.
He could not believe he had arrived too late! He had failed in his mission to stop Gilmore and Elaine from leaving.
He had a terrified look on his face. He didn’t know whether he should call Tobias and tell him about this or not.
“Manager, why did you want us to stop the couple?” The security guard asked the security manager with a confused look as he kept his cell phone.
The other security guards were also looking at him with curiosity, wondering what he would do next.
The security manager growled, “What is there to ask? Go back to work. If you slack again, you’ll be fired!”
All the security guards were shocked with no idea why the security manager was so furious.
Anyway, superiors–needed no reason to get angry with their subordinates. In any case, superiors always believed that they were reasonable, though they probably were not.
09:51 Sat, Aug 24
These security guards were already used to it. They just needed to avoid getting on their superior’s nerves.
Then all the security guards hung their heads low and went back to their different workstations in the building.
The security manager was still hesitating if he should call Tobias. His cell phone rang.
He took out his phone, and the caller ID showed “Mr. Weston.” His face darkened.
He was uneasy, but he had to answer the call, “Hello, Sir, Good morning!”
“Mr. Tinch, don’t tell me that after one night of investigation, you have not found out how Elaine escaped?” Tobias asked with contempt over the phone.
The security manager did not know if he should inform him about what had happened.
“Why are you so quiet? So, you have found nothing. Well, you may leave Langford Tower today. Someone will take your place later. Tobias said coldly and was about to hang up the phone.

The security manager said immediately, “Sir, I found out that Elaine and Gilmore, the guest in Room No. 8, had stayed in the room all this time and just came out of the room thirty minutes ago.”
“They had stayed in the room all this time? And did you ask your men to seize them?” Tobias asked.
“Sir, they escaped in the blink of an eye. My men ran after them, but they sped off in their car, the security manager informed him dejectedly.
“Damn it! What a bunch of idiots! I’m coming to Langford Tower now,” Tobias said and ended the call.
At this time, Gerald and Everly, who were in Rooms No. 9 and 10 on the 50th floor, each received a message from Gilmore.
The message said, “I’m driving a friend to the railway station. All of you should leave the hotel quickly. Someone is coming after me.”
After receiving the message, Gerald and Everly immediately notified Harlan and his wife.
The four of them quickly left Langford Tower and drove off.
At this moment, Tobias reached Langford Tower, followed by his bodyguards in different cars. The security manager led them to the monitor room.
The security manager replayed the video that showed Gilmore and Elaine coming out of Room No. 8 for Tobias.
Tobias was now sure that Elaine and Gilmore had hidden in Room No. 8 last night.
However, the security guards had searched Room No. 8, and nobody was there.
Tobias said to the security manager, “Let’s go to Room No. 8 and have a look again.”
“Yes, Sir,” the security manager replied obediently.
They hurried to Room No.8. The security manager opened the door..
-Tobias walked in with giant strides, and the others followed closely behind him.
After entering the room, Tobias gave instructions, “Check if there are other hiding spots in this room.”

His bodyguards immediately began to search the room..
Suddenly, a bodyguard noticed something. He pointed to the bed and said to Tobias, “Sir, there’s blood!”
Tobias and the others hurried over there.
Then they saw the snow–white sheets were stained with blood as red as plum blossoms in March.

When Tobias noticed the blood on the bedsheet, he found it unpleasant to the eye and felt as if stabbed in the heart.
What did the blood on the sheets mean?
Of course, he knew what had happened.
He did not expect the woman he failed to pursue to sleep with someone else.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
The security manager and bodyguards also knew what the blood on the sheets meant.
They held their breath and secretly cursed the bodyguard who pointed out the bloodstain on the sheets to Tobias.
This pissed Tobias off.
And since Tobias got angry, they would undoubtedly suffer the consequences.
Everyone was fearful and did not dare to utter a word.
