Chapter 467 Positioning
Not long ago, the Stuart Villa was thick with tension. Sophia and Henry had mobilized all the family's resources, launching an exhaustive search. As the head of the Stuart family, Henry tapped into extraordinary resources, even activating the family's most secretive and almost legendary intelligence network.
"We have to find Emma, and fast!" Sophia's face was grave, her eyes filled with anxiety. Her voice trembled slightly, revealing the immense concern of a mother. She had tirelessly contacted intelligence agencies worldwide, leveraging all the relationships and resources the family had built over the years. Every possible lead was thoroughly investigated, every potential channel repeatedly tracked.
The Stuart family's mysterious intelligence network was now in full swing.
Special agents hidden in the shadows began tracking Emma's whereabouts globally. The world's top satellite monitoring systems, electronic communication tracking networks, and the most advanced AI analysis systems were all activated simultaneously, gathering vast amounts of data and information.
But to everyone's shock, these advanced technologies still failed to find any clues. Emma seemed to have disappeared from this world.
Finally, a piece of news arrived that instantly heightened the tension: Emma and George had disappeared simultaneously. This news was like a bomb, instantly igniting the accumulated anxiety and tension within the Stuart family. Everyone was plunged into unprecedented panic.
Michael furrowed his brow, his face dark and stormy.
"It has to be that bastard George! Where could he possibly be hiding Emma?"
Just as everyone was on the brink of despair, the Stuart family's special detection system picked up an unusual signal.
In an extremely dangerous sea area, there was a rare signal fluctuation. This signal was so faint it was almost negligible, and if not for the Stuart family's advanced equipment and technology accumulated over the years, it would have been impossible to detect.
"A signal fluctuation?" Sophia's sharp intuition told her this could be a breakthrough. Her eyes sparkled with a glimmer of hope, as if she had grasped the last chance to save Emma.
The Stuart family's tech team worked through the night, conducting meticulous analysis and simulations. By comparing historical data and real-time monitoring, they cautiously speculated that the signal fluctuation was likely caused by Emma!
All signs indicated that George might have taken Emma to a highly concealed area at sea. Although there was no direct evidence to support this, it was the only viable lead for the Stuart family at the moment.
Michael could no longer remain calm. He stood up abruptly, his gaze resolute enough to pierce through the darkness. "I'm going out to sea, and I'll find her myself!"
Sophia was worried sick, but she and Henry were both getting on in years and clearly couldn't handle the risks of a sea expedition. If they went out to sea and their physical condition slowed down the team, they would be the ones responsible for Emma's demise.
Apart from Henry and Sophia, the only person willing to go all out to search for Emma was Michael. Sophia could only helplessly advise, "Be careful! Don't do anything rash!"
Henry solemnly handed over a highly sophisticated communication device. "This is the Stuart family's latest tracking system. It can capture signals in any extreme environment. Take it and stay in touch with us."
Michael took the device, his expression serious. "I'll find Emma!"
At the Stuart Villa, a thrilling sea search was about to begin. No one knew what fate awaited them, only anticipation and hope.
In another corner of the spacious study, Lucas was intently working on his tracking device. It was a precision instrument he had designed and built himself, using low-orbit satellite communication technology.
He knew Emma always carried the tracking system he had made.
But this time, she had gone somewhere unknown, and the once-clear signal had become very faint, almost impossible to capture.
Lucas spent two whole days improving the device. He carefully adjusted the antenna gain, optimized the signal amplification circuit, and even crafted a directional antenna to enhance satellite signal reception. These improvements nearly exhausted all his pocket money and free time.
Today, when he turned on the upgraded tracker, clear coordinates finally appeared on the screen! The flashing numbers seemed to convey some mysterious message.
"Why is Mom at sea?" Lucas's eyes widened in shock. The GPS showed Emma moving in a sea area far from land, with coordinates precise to within a few feet.
This astonishing discovery filled Lucas with excitement. As a child who had been exposed to high-tech from a young age, he knew how valuable this tracking information was. He quickly pulled up the satellite map, carefully analyzing Emma's possible location and route.
After a brief moment of thought, he made a surprising decision—since the adults couldn't find Emma, he would take action himself!
Lucas quietly packed a small backpack, which included basic survival supplies, a spare communication device, and a portable charger. His eyes were full of determination; he was resolved to find Emma.
At the Stuart Villa, the atmosphere of tension and anxiety persisted. Michael was urgently discussing search plans with the Stuart family, completely unaware of Lucas's quiet actions in the corner. Everyone was deeply anxious, except for Lucas, who had secretly planned his own daring rescue mission.
Lucas skillfully adjusted the communication device, his small fingers swiftly sliding across the touchscreen, operating the precision tech equipment he had crafted.
As Michael left the meeting room, he received a message from his subordinates: [Lucas is acting suspiciously.]
Michael had always been wary of George, and Lucas was George's child, having lived with him for six years. Lucas carried George's traits everywhere.
Michael had always known how smart and difficult George was to deal with, and naturally, his son Lucas was also exceptionally intelligent.
Therefore, Michael had never let his guard down around the six-year-old Lucas.
Recently, he had keenly noticed Lucas's unusual behavior. Although Lucas appeared calm and obedient on the surface, his eyes always revealed a hint of anxiety and mystery.
