Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2675 - 1922: Lorna Disappears

The group exited the coffee shop, seeing the western sun setting outside, the sky turning to dusk, and even the streetlights were already lit.

Across the street, the pastry shop had only one window facing the street, from where it sold pastries.

The group gazed from afar, only seeing a customer who had just finished buying, an elderly lady, holding a large brown paper bag as she left.

Lorna was not there.

Robert was momentarily stunned upon seeing this.

"Miss Lorna only mentioned across the coffee shop, could there be another pastry shop?" Lin Weiwei asked Robert upon seeing this.

"There’s no other pastry shop," Robert affirmed.

"Perhaps she went to buy something else?" Lin Weiwei suggested.

Beside them, Lei Ying said in a deep voice, "Unlikely, at that moment, Sheng and Mr. Robert were almost done talking. She would have made the most of her time, quickly bought and returned, there’s no way she would go elsewhere without notifying."

Does that mean Lorna has disappeared?!

Upon hearing this, Robert couldn’t hold back anymore and strode across the street.

"Let’s go, take a look," Bai Xiaosheng directed, leading Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying across as well.

The pastry shop owner across the street was a chubby old man wearing a pristine chef’s outfit and hat, looking amiable. Initially about to sit and read a newspaper, he perked up upon seeing people heading straight for his stall, greeting them with a smile.

"Excuse me, have you seen a young lady, she’s a mixed-race girl, very pretty, about this tall..."

Robert described.

The pastry shop owner stroked his beard, thought for a moment, then nodded, "There was such a customer, about a few minutes ago, she bought pastries here saying they were for her friends, I even gave her a few extra."

"Where did she go?" Robert hastily asked.

"Later, while I was packing the pastries, I saw her faint for some reason. When I turned around, I saw some kind customers support her, saying they would take her to a hospital. Quite a few enthusiastic male customers lifted her and went that way," the pastry shop owner pointed.

Robert’s face changed, and he quickly dialed a phone number, but the phone was turned off, revealing panic in his eyes.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others who had just arrived couldn’t help but exchange glances, they heard it too.

Robert thanked the owner, turned around with a pale face.

"Does Miss Lorna have any health issues?" Bai Xiaosheng asked.

"No, not long ago, I took her for a full-body check-up under the guise of company welfare. She’s very healthy, there’s no way she would suddenly faint," Robert’s eyes were a bit unsteady as he affirmed, "She’s in trouble!"

The customers who took Lorna away were likely——not good people!

This was what terrified Robert the most.

"Ordinary people wouldn’t do such a thing, Mr. Robert, do you have any enemies locally?" Lei Ying calmly inquired.

"Absolutely not!" Robert asserted, "Besides, no one knows about my relationship with Lorna."

"Then, do you know of any local underground forces?" Lei Ying asked again.

Robert shook his head once more, "Just small fry."

Not helpful at all.

"Does no one really know about your relationship with Lorna?" Bai Xiaosheng suddenly asked.

Robert looked up at him, his pupils slightly shrinking.

He naturally knew what Bai Xiaosheng was referring to.

Even he worried about his sister far away in North America. Even if he was deemed worthless by his sister, he was still being monitored, and his sister definitely wouldn’t allow him to bring shame by being with such a woman.

"I’m going to demand her return!" Robert exclaimed angrily, about to call Caroline.

"Who would admit it? I’m afraid as long as it’s dragged on, Miss Lorna will be in danger," Lin Weiwei murmured, "Might as well call the police..."

These words were like a wake-up call, awakening Robert.

Immediately, Robert dashed off, saying, "Call the police, yes, call the police!"

Anxious with concern, he was already somewhat lost, clinging to any reliable suggestion like a lifeline.

Seeing this, Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but say, "But if you report it, does it meet the criteria for being a missing person? Will they investigate directly? Even if they do, it will take time..."

Lei Ying couldn’t help but glance at Lin Weiwei, giving a thumbs up, "You’re the smartest, but it’s a bit late to say that now."

Lin Weiwei was about to retort when she heard Bai Xiaosheng beside her say in a deep voice, "Let’s go, we’ll help too!"

Although Lorna was a female thief and had done unsavory things, it was all for survival, and she always helped children like herself, which in itself was admirable.

So if they can help, Bai Xiaosheng and the others were willing to lend a hand.

Furthermore, they now have a "ally" relationship with Robert.

Eisenlag, the central police station, is actually just three streets away.

This police station is the largest in the entire city and also the busiest, and even during this off-duty time, it is still brightly lit with many officers working overtime to handle cases.

When Robert arrived, he was greeted by a middle-aged detective, who clearly was someone who worked round the clock on cases, with heavy dark circles under his eyes.

After letting Robert into his office and listening to Robert’s urgent narration, the other party frowned.

"Mr. Robert, you lost a friend on the street, heard she was taken to the hospital, couldn’t get through on the phone, and then came straight here."

The middle-aged detective said patiently, "Actually, I still suggest you go to the hospital to look for her, or try calling again, perhaps the phone is just out of battery, or maybe it was lost. Don’t be overly anxious, and don’t think too much like the movies, developing persecutory delusions."

If everyone in Eisenlag came to report with a little suspicion, even ten times the number of officers wouldn’t be enough.

"Sir, my friend might really be kidnapped, or else call your director, I’ll speak to him!"

Robert was truly getting desperate, shouting directly.

"Because of your identity, I patiently listened to you say so much. I understand your feelings, Mr. Robert, I understand your concern. However, this matter does not meet the requirements for reporting, do you understand!" The middle-aged detective frowned and said, "Also, the director is very busy right now."

Robert was clearly showing some physical agitation in his excitement.

Due to his business identity, the detective did not mind it much.

"You don’t understand! She might be in danger right now, you need to take action immediately, do you understand!" Robert was already frantically desperate.

The middle-aged detective seemed to conclude he was overly excited, frowning, "No matter what, if we were to file a case just based on some suspicion and deploy a large number of officers, I cannot comply with your request! Unless there are sufficient witnesses proving the girl is currently in danger!"

"There is, the pastry shop owner!" Robert shouted.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged detective directly shook his head, "Based on your earlier description, he is not sure about the situation. Also, I need someone with sufficient credibility to prove the urgency for us to act immediately. This person must be of sufficient identity and able to bear the corresponding consequences."

"Am I not qualified? I am the general director of Eisenlag Wenke Mother Company." Robert was practically going mad.

"You are the complainant and cannot be counted." The middle-aged detective rejected.

Robert suddenly stood up as if he was going crazy.

The middle-aged detective watched him vigilantly, ready to act at any time.

At this moment, the office door suddenly opened, and someone pushed the door open and entered.

The middle-aged detective looked up and saw a police officer bringing in three Asian people.

"I haven’t finished talking here." The middle-aged detective was somewhat displeased.

He thought it was some newly arrived case.

The officer who entered quickly walked over and whispered something in the middle-aged detective’s ear.

The middle-aged detective’s face suddenly changed slightly.

"You’ve arrived." Robert weakly glanced at Bai Xiaosheng and the three, "It’s useless, he doesn’t believe what I said, he won’t take action."

The result of the communication here left him deeply dejected, even if Bai Xiaosheng and the three came to testify, it probably wouldn’t work.

At most, only a case would be filed, without any immediate large action.

Before Robert could say more, the middle-aged detective suddenly stood up, pointing at Robert and the officer said, "File a case for this gentleman!"

This sentence stunned Robert on the spot.

He didn’t understand why Bai Xiaosheng and the three hadn’t spoken yet, but the middle-aged detective had already had a change of heart.

The middle-aged detective was already walking towards Bai Xiaosheng, politely saying, "Sir, please come with me, I’ll take you to see our director."

This sentence made Robert almost doubt his ears, as he looked at Bai Xiaosheng in astonishment.

He had at least been in Eisenlag for a while now and was somewhat known in the business community, yet he was politely refused to meet the director.

How come as soon as Bai Xiaosheng arrived, without saying a word, he was voluntarily taken by the detective to see the director.

What logic is this?

Robert had been busy dating Lorna recently, neglecting to gather news about Bai Xiaosheng, only knowing Bai Xiaosheng was misunderstood at Oshan, and Oshan publicly apologized to him, nothing more.

Bai Xiaosheng’s identity as a special business consultant had always been kept low-key, which he didn’t know about.

Little did he know, Bai Xiaosheng was now a Chieftain of Eisenlag!

Earlier outside, Bai Xiaosheng revealed his identity, which led to being directly brought in. As a Chieftain, asking to see the director is simply condescending.

If Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t given prior notice, the bureau director would have greeted him himself!

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng patted Robert’s shoulder gently and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll help you find Lorna."
