Chapter 64

Andre's POV
　　"Let's book the church next to the city hall, closer to the hotel where the dinner is being held, and Emily is too pregnant to travel too far in a car."
　　After the proposal was successful, Emily and I told Wilson Jane, and Hellen about the pregnancy, and they were all very surprised to hear about it, blaming Emily and me for not telling them about such an important event earlier.
　　But Emily and I knew that Jane and Hellen, and even Wilson, were very happy about Emily's pregnancy. They started discussing Emily and I's engagement and marriage almost as quickly as they could, capriciously not leaving the decision up to Emily and me, wanting them to decide the outcome.
　　But in the end, Jane and Hellen asked Emily and me for our opinions. They both thought that Emily was pregnant and needed to hold the wedding as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be unattractive to wear a wedding dress in the future after her belly grew bigger.
　　If we wait until the baby is born and then hold the wedding, we have to wait a long time, at least until the baby is a little older and can leave Emily for a long time without crying.
　　If we hold the engagement ceremony first, Emily and I will have to wait at least another whole year before we can hold the wedding again, I don't have enough patience to wait now, I just want to make Emily my wife soon.
　　Emily also did not want to wait until her belly was bigger to get married, she thought it would not look good in a wedding dress. After considering all of our requests, Jane Hellen and Wilson decided not to hold the engagement and hold the wedding ceremony directly.
　　Emily and I also agreed to this plan after discussing it. Emily now has a baby and is a key protection target for everyone, so I am generally the only one who can handle these matters. And she was responsible for going to work every day and occasionally going to the mall with Susan.
　　"Emily?"
　　Jane and Wilson argued all day about the location of the church where the wedding ceremony would be held, but I finally used Emily's pregnancy as an excuse to set the church not far from the city hall and the Gaze Hotel. It is also one of the more famous churches in the state of M, which is perfect for a wedding ceremony.
　　Jane and Wilson now agreed unconditionally whenever it came to Emily's issue, and the matter was easily settled. I went back to the villa to have lunch with Emily, but to my surprise, there was no Emily in the kitchen or dining room or even in the bedroom.
　　It was the weekend and Emily and Susan had agreed to go shopping for clothes at the mall. I knew about this, so I wasn't in a hurry. I sat in the dining room eating lunch alone, waiting for Emily to call me to pick her up from the mall and take her back to the villa.
　　"Andre, I'm sorry to bother you. I wanted to know if Emily had gone home and if Susan was staying at your villa with Emily, I called her but she didn't get through, is she still with Emily? If she is at your villa please have her call me back."
　　"Sorry, Kevin, Emily hasn't come back since she went out shopping, I thought she and Susan had gone to your place or were still shopping so I didn't call her."
　　Kevin sounded very anxious, which made me wonder. It was now lunchtime and Emily and Susan hadn't returned to my or Kevin's villa.
　　Emily would have at least messaged me to let me know if she was going back to Kevin's villa with Susan, but she hadn't. I hung up on Kevin to call him. I hung up Kevin's phone to call Emily, but the result was the same as Kevin's, the phone was off.
　　"Kevin, send me the address of the mall where Emily and Susan are shopping, Emily's phone is off. I'm going to make sure they're still at the mall, I have a bad feeling about this."
　　I grabbed my clothes that were on the couch and sent Kevin a text message and soon the address of the mall was sent to my phone, Kevin said he would also go to the mall with me to find Emily and Susan.
　　I felt the mall as fast as I could and Kevin was already waiting for me at the door. This was Kevin's family's property and they had a hand in running the place, so we quickly found the manager of the mall.
　　"Now, take us to the surveillance room. Kevin and I want to see your surveillance footage about all the stores here, so go arrange that right away."
　　I kept calling Emily on the way to the mall, hoping she just didn't notice my call because her phone was dead or she was eating. But to my dismay and nervousness, no matter how many times I dialed Emily's number, the result was off.
　　I had just deliberately chosen the escalator when following Kevin up the stairs to get a good overview of every floor of the mall. But I observed all the passersby walking outside the stores on all floors, but I didn't see Emily or Susan's figure.
　　My heart was so disturbed that I didn't even have extra time to chat with the mall manager. I told him directly my purpose and asked him to take us to the surveillance room. Because Kevin was there, the mall manager immediately agreed to my request and took us to the top floor to the area responsible for managing the mall.
　　"Mr. Vincent, Mr. Aaron, this is the person in charge of all the surveillance in the mall including the store surveillance, Tom. tom, these two Mr. Vincent and Mr. Aaron are going to watch all the surveillance here, you are in charge of helping them, whatever they ask, do you understand?"
　　"Okay, manager."
　　The mall manager introduced Kevin and me to an employee in charge of surveillance before stepping back and waiting for Kevin and I's next instruction.
　　I took a look at the man in front of me, and I always thought he looked familiar but couldn't remember where I'd seen him before. But now was not the time to think about that, I had to know about Emily as soon as possible.
　　"Pull up all the surveillance in this mall this morning, lock if these two people are still inside the mall and where they are now."
　　I took out my phone and showed him the pictures of Emily and Susan. The employee named Tom looked at me, nodded his head sat in front of the surveillance, and started to execute my orders.
　　He moved very quickly and was very familiar with monitoring this area of the network. I saw him enter a series of letters and numbers, and the computer began to automatically search for Emily and Susan's figures at this time.
　　Kevin and I were staring at the huge display, not missing any corner of the monitor. We looked at all the stores in the surveillance, even the bathroom door Kevin and I spent a long time observing. But still no Susan and Emily, they seem to have left the mall, can not find them in any corner of the place.
　　This was a very bad situation, and my head began to ache. I frowned as I thought about anything that could have happened to Emily and Susan. I couldn't think of anything else that could have hurt Emily after both Emma and Kelly had left.
　　"Search all surveillance footage of Emily and Susan this morning. I want to know when they left the mall and which direction they went after they left!"
　　I was on the verge of losing control of my inner rage and anxiety, Emily had a baby now and her body was so fragile I couldn't accept any harm she could potentially face now.
　　"Andre, get a grip on your emotions, we all need to calm down now. Do you think Emily and Susan may have gone to Hellen's house, they used to go to Hellen's house to keep her company some time ago."
　　"But, Kevin, even if Emily and Susan went to Hellen's place they shouldn't even be able to dial the phone. And Emily calls or messages me in advance wherever she goes now, I can't think of any reason why she could be out of touch for so long."
　　I immediately dismissed Kevin's suggestion, knowing full well that Emily couldn't be at Hellen's place. But I still called Hellen with a hint of expectation inside me.
　　It turned out to be in my guess but made my already anxious mood even more irritable, Hellen told me that Emily and Susan hadn't even been to her today.
　　Emily must have been in danger, and that's why the phone had been out of order. I was desperately trying to remember in my head the partners I had trouble with at work, to recall if any of them had bad personalities who would do something like kidnap a rival's fiancée.
　　"Oh my God, Andre, you have to come!"
　　Kevin suddenly shouted, and I barely managed to calm my insides as I walked over to him and followed the direction of his finger to the surveillance display screen.
　　Emily and Susan were standing in front of the mall, talking, and both seemed to be in a very happy mood. Emily took her cell phone out of her bag and Susan went to the park to answer a phone call, but the car door behind her suddenly opened at that moment!
　　A group of tall men followed by a very thin man with a mask and hat came out of the car and knocked Emily and Susan, who had their backs to them, into the car when all the passers-by didn't react.
　　They drove away from the surveillance area, Kevin and I stood in front of the surveillance screen in silence for a long time, I clenched my fist to hold back my grumpy heart, I was almost sure that the very thin man walking at the end was the one who led this kidnapping.
　　But the screen was blurred by the magnification, and he wore a mask and hat to cover his face very tightly. With the tall kidnappers around me obscuring him, I couldn't even identify who this man was, but I was pretty sure it wasn't any of my rival companies.
　　"Kevin, do you know which of Susan's colleagues or classmates she has a very bad relationship with? Think like Emily and Emma. Or, are there any rivals in your family at work like this person on the monitor that you can think of?"
　　I don't know what other people besides those rivals of mine would use kidnapping to hurt Emily, and even this person in the surveillance seemed to know Susan, and he took her away with Emily with almost no hesitation.
　　This made me suspect that the kidnapper's initial purpose could have been Susan and that Emily was kidnapped simply because she was with Susan, to keep her from going back to report Susan's condition.
　　"No, Andre, this man is not a rival of any of the Aaron family, and Susan has never known such a colleague or classmate, you know the environment she works in, those people's faces are very recognizable. And I think the most important thing we need to do now is not to guess who the person who kidnapped Emily and Susan is, we should call the police immediately!"
　　Kevin took out his cell phone to make a call, and I immediately snatched it away from him. Calling the police without knowing who the other party is and what they are up to will only increase the danger to Emily and Susan!
　　"Kevin, calm down! You calling the police now will only let those people know about our actions and then hurt Susan and Emily!"
　　"Then you tell what should be done, Andre, your fiancée is also among the kidnapped people, you tell me what you have to do to get them both out quickly?!"
　　Kevin grabbed my collar and yelled, I understood his anxiety and anger and even panic because I was feeling no different from Kevin. But I had to force my mind to calm down and think patiently about the matter.
　　I didn't answer Kevin's words and tossed my phone aside to replay the surveillance footage again trying to make out a few of the kidnapper's features from it to let me know his identity.
　　"Emily!"
　　Tom suddenly shouted, and I turned my head to see him staring at my phone, on which there was a message that Emily had just sent me. I immediately picked up my phone to check the contents, with Kevin standing next to me.
　　It was a picture of Emily and Susan tied up together in a very run-down place, eyes closed and not waking up!
