Chapter 507 Asking Joshua To Look For August
Hearing his words, Lucia was amused, she paused and whispered, "You don't have to call me Ms. Mitchell, I should be a few. years older than you. You can call me Lucia from now on."
Zane's eyes lit up and he immediately nodded.
On the way back, Lucia and Zane had a conversation in the car. Only then did she learn that Zane was an orphan whom August had once sponsored. His parents died when he was young, and he stayed in the orphanage for a few years. afterwards, suffering from bullying because of being skinny. August saw him by accident at a charity event and sent him to a martial arts school. After finishing his training, Zane wanted to repay August. That was why he came to August and became his man. Hearing his story, Lucia was somehow touched. She wanted to find August faster. She felt that the misunderstanding, disconnection, and unhappiness between them had dissipated a lot because of this incident. What's more, she began to learn to understand his difficulties and his plannings from his standpoint. When she thought about it, the decisions August made and the words he said before no longer seemed so unreasonable and ruthless.
Lucia was silent for a moment, sniffled, turned to Zane, and asked, "Do you have any clues? Or anything you think might help. tell me all about it.”
Zane was silent for a while. He suddenly thought of something and said, "When Mr. Adams disappeared, we were worried
Fortunately, we all remained calm with Kylan around, and we have been waiting for the news. Then we saw on the news that. Mr. Adams had passed away and died in an accident. Of course, we all didn't believe it, and we tried to look for him during. this period. However, there was no news about him.
Zane thought for a moment and then said, "At first, we checked the location of Mr. Adams's cell phone signal and found that his final location was at Evergreen Temple, where we searched and found Mr. Adams's cell phone with some blood on it in the corner of the temple's lobby. Nothing else was found."
Listening to Zane's description, Lucia was nervous. Evergreen Temple... Bloodied phone... Combining these words, she imagined a vicious battle. She shuddered to think what August had gone through that night, and where he had gone afterwards. Her face paled a bit as she looked at Zane and continued, "Anything else?"
Zane shook his head, saying, "Nothing else after that."
"By the way, have you ever seen this?" She suddenly remembered something, immediately picked up the laptop with the USB flash disk on which she had put a copy of the video inserted, clicked on the surveillance video from the hospital and showed it to Zane. In the video, it was the very image of Burton's appearance.
Zane was slightly stunned and finally looked at the date in the lower right corner of the video, which was more than half a
month ago. In other words, this happened after August had disappeared for more than half a month.
He said with some excitement, "Mr. Adams and Burton left together that night, and the two were missing together. If we can find Burton, we may be able to find Mr. Adams!"
Lucia nodded, touched her computer, and said, "Yes. So, you can inform the other men and tell them to keep an eye on Burton.”
"Okay."
In this way, the two men decided and divided their work. Lucia arrived at West Bridge, and Zane got out of the car. Before he left, he seemed to suddenly think of something. His hand that was about to close the car door suddenly stopped. Looking at Lucia in the car, he said, "By the way, Lucia, do you know Joshua?"
Hearing this, Lucia was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."
She had met Joshua a few times and knew that he and August were good friends, yet she wasn't familiar with him
Zane was about to say something. But he seemed to think of something, paused and said meaningfully, "You can ask him for help. He and his men are very powerful.”
At those words, Lucia was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I see.”
She didn't know Joshua well. However, since Joshua was August's good friend, she guessed that he should be willing to help her with the search.
After saying goodbye to Zane, she drove the car into the yard, then got out and walked into the living room. Just after she changed her shoes, Timothy and Janet came running towards her happily. "Mom!" The two little ones scrambled to call out to her, laughing, rushing into her arms, rubbing their little heads against her belly, saying, "Where have you been, Mommy? You weren't home when we woke up from our nap...
Looking at the two angelic little ones, Lucia felt cured with less tiredness. She reached out and rubbed their little heads and asked softly. "Tell mommy, what did you do at home today?" "Watching documentaries!"
"Learning idioms!"
"And we have videoed with Daddy!"
Lucia couldn't help but laugh as she listened to their words. When she heard them say that they had talked to Paul on the phone, she asked, "What did Dad say to you?"
Timothy quickly said, "Daddy said that Auntie is recovering well now and he's coming back soon!" When Lucia heard these words, her smile froze. Suddenly, a bad feeling appeared in her heart. If Paul came back from abroad, he would know that she was looking for August. If so, she wouldn't know how to explain it to him. With another worry in her heart, she felt stressed as if she could not breathe.
After chatting with the two little ones for a while, she coaxed them back to their rooms to rest, while she went back to her bedroom to quietly think of a solution. The most useful thing she could do now was to find August as soon as possible. Only then could the situation slowly change. She just wanted things to go back to normal for the Lion group, Olivia and her family.
Tossing and turning until midnight, Lucia thought a lot and then made a decision in a haze. The next morning, she woke up. had a quick breakfast and then headed straight downtown. Yesterday she seriously considered what Zane said. She knew that now she needed to ask Joshua's help. Only then could she find August faster.
She had known before that Joshua had a specialty bar downtown. Although she didn't have his contact information, she thought she would be able to meet him when she got there. But when she arrived at the entrance of the bar, Lucia froze. The bar's doors were closed and not open at all. She looked at the opening hours and saw that the official opening time was in the afternoon
A little annoyed, she was planning to leave and come back in the afternoon. But when she turned around, she saw a car parked on the side of the road. Joshua was standing next to it, leaning lazily against it, with a cigarette between his fingers, staring at her casually.
For some reason, a sudden chill came over Lucia's back. She wasn't sure how long he'd been here or how long he'd been staring at her. Taking a deep breath, she gathered her courage and walked towards him, smiling at him and greeting, "Mr. Joshua Jones, long time no see.”
Joshua looked at her with a smirk, took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Don't call me that, I can't afford your respect.”
Lucia laughed and said nothing else. She was thinking of how to ask him for help when Joshua had already asked, "Is this about August?”
At that, Lucia immediately nodded, saying, "Yes, I know you and he were good friends. I learned the news that he is not dead, but missing. So, I wondered if you could help look for him?"
Hearing her say that, Joshua suddenly burst out laughing and asked, "You're asking me to help look for him? Are you serious?”
