Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

But Jeffrey didn’t care about an unimportant person.

An hour had passed. Logically, his bodyguards should have known his location through the locator and started searching for him.

However, he had yet to hear any news about this. It was very likely that there was a problem with his locator, causing the system to not detect it.

Or perhaps, even though they had detected his location, the people his grandfather had sent were held back.

Therefore, for safety reasons, he knew that he couldn’t place all his hopes on the locator on his socks.

For this reason, before the masked man left, he kindly gave him a suggestion.

“If you don’t have a special channel to get the chemicals, then many of the reagents have to be purchased from a specialty store. Otherwise, you have to pre-order them and wait for about a month to get the goods.”

This was both a reminder and a test.

It was obvious that the masked man and the others didn’t have much time to waste, so when they heard Jeffrey’s words, they stopped in their tracks.

Finally, he threw down a sentence, “If there’s anything you need, I believe Young Master will recommend some shops for us.” With that, he left the basement without turning back.

Maybe it was because Jeffrey was cooperative, or maybe he was very confident in the security of the basement, but the masked man released him after untying the rope in his hand and didn’t tie him back up.

At this moment, Jeffrey finally had the time to carefully check what was in the basement.

The basement wasn’t too small. It should be more than 150 square meters and was divided into two spaces.

He was in a place similar to the living room, where there was only a long table and a few chairs.

The smaller room only had a single bed and a toilet. There were surveillance cameras in the other two rooms.

It was obvious that those people were prepared to imprison him for a long time.

But Jeffrey was very puzzled. These people clearly knew his background, so why were they so sure that they could trap him here for so long?

Unless they were more powerful than the Shwell family.

In that case, other than those people, there should not be anyone else who would be so arrogant.

This realization made Jeffrey’s heart sink.

After walking around the basement and realizing that there were no tools that could help him escape, Jeffrey decided not to bother anymore. He closed his clothes and lay down on the single bed.

He lay there for a long time before the door to the basement finally opened.

Jeffrey opened his eyes.

This time, another man wearing a white mask came in. He dragged a plate of food on a tray and placed it on the long table. He knocked on the table twice with his hand.

“Young Master, it’s time to eat your lunch.”

Although he was a different person, his tone was still annoying.

After the man left, Jeffrey got up from the bed and went to the long table. He saw two hamburgers and a glass of water on the table.

Jeffrey rubbed his stomach that had shriveled from not eating, and finally sat down.

He opened the top layer of the burger and was about to eat when he suddenly found something inside the burger.

It was similar to the white chocolate chip on the cake, with a line of small words written on it.

“Someone will come looking for you tonight.”

Jeffrey lowered his eyes and put the chocolate chip into his mouth, chewing slowly.

However, his heart was not calm at all.

He did not know who the messenger was, but it was undoubtedly someone who knew him very well.

Only those who were familiar with him would know that he had an unusual habit when he ate burgers. He liked to eat them in layers.

That was why the person stuffed the chocolate chip into the burger. If it were anyone else, the burger would have shattered all the information into pieces with a bite.

Receiving news from the outside gave Jeffrey some hope.

He slowly finished the two hamburgers and drank the water. He walked around the basement ten times and finally lay back on the bed.

The lights in the basement were always on. There was no way to turn them off.

There were no phones or clocks here, so Jeffrey had no way of knowing the time or when night would fall.

For this reason, he could only count silently in his heart. One by one, he started counting from lunch time onward. When he counted nearly 20,000, the basement door opened again..
