Why it never ends

Chapter 1143 Caught

At two o'clock in the morning, Hesta followed Fatima and began the search with a palace guard team of more than a dozen people and six hunting dogs.

Fatima walked in front, and Hesta could see that she was very familiar with this place - when a tractor-trailer drove in front of them, Fatima immediately jumped on it, and Hesta walked to the other side of the front of the vehicle and waved for the driver to get off.

"Can you drive this kind of car?"

"know a little."

As soon as the words fell, the headlights on the tractor suddenly lit up, illuminating the road in front of the two people, and the engine roared. Fatima pointed the way, and Hesta followed the direction she gave, followed by two palace guards on motorcycles.

The huge noise woke up the shack dwellers along the way. People came out of their wooden houses in the undulating fields and cast curious glances at Hesta's team. Some curious people followed them from a distance, wanting to see what they were going to do.

"I think I know where you're going," Hesta said softly. "Turn left ahead. There's a voting box. Over there is an area for the families of the old farm employees. Is that it, ma'am?"

"……Correct."

"I'm quite curious, why did you come here to look for someone first?"

Fatima did not answer.

Hesta parked the car next to the voting box. Fatima got out of the car by herself and immediately turned around to ask the two guards behind her to follow her with the dog into the park in front of them.

Hesta walked at the end, watching Fatima lead the group in. Two sharp whistles cut through the night, and the windows that had been darkened lit up one after another. This was Hesta's second time here. Last time she came to get her voting letter, and she didn't go in deep.

Two men appeared on a gentle slope leading to deeper into the park. They recognized Fatima and walked quickly forward to talk to her. Hesta looked at the two men with respectful and patient expressions. After listening to Fatima's orders, they turned around and called their friends in the local dialect - or were they calling their subordinates?

The entire park was mobilized immediately.

Fatima herself was not idle either, she personally led a dog and searched door to door. Hesta stood about ten steps away from her, keeping an eye on her movements and observing the entire park's response to her orders.

Suddenly, Fatima and several guards' cell phones rang one after another. After answering the phone, their expressions relaxed. Fatima loosened the reins of the hound and stood at the door of a house, looking a little dazed, as if someone had suddenly taken away her backbone and she had completely forgotten where she was and what to do next.

Hesta walked forward and asked: "Have you found the person?"

Fatima came back to her senses and glanced at Hesta.

"...Found it," she said in a hoarse voice, "at the horse ranch...They have already taken the person to the car, and are now on their way back to the palace."

A gust of night wind blew by, and Fatima realized that her back was already soaked with sweat. She even felt a little dizzy, so that her hands and feet were a little weak. The thing she feared the most did not happen. When she answered the phone just now, she heard Chloe's voice. The little girl was screaming furiously, and she sounded very energetic.

Just as Fatima was about to go out, Hesta suddenly grabbed her arm.

She turned around and saw Hesta looking at her.

"Don't be in a hurry, ma'am." Hesta said softly, "Tell me, why did you lead people this way in the first place?"

“Why else…” Fatima tried to pull her hand back, “Because most of the managers live here—”

"No, ma'am," Hesta held Fatima's hand more tightly, and the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by an unquestionable cold expression, "I ask you to tell me clearly, before hearing that Chloe is safe, what are you afraid of?" ...

The next morning, Sophie brought the two women back from the hospital, their conditions improving.

She received an email from Hesta yesterday afternoon. In the email, Hesta left Officer Si Lei's phone number, but for some reason she couldn't get through after calling him several times.

Sophie was in mixed emotions. As far as she could remember, her last meeting with Officer Si Lei was not a pleasant one. She knew in her heart that Officer Si Lei was a good person, but...

The car stopped at the gate of the palace. Sophie looked back at Meisnan and said, "Wake up, we're here!"

Meisnan woke up from his dream and tried to get up in a panic, but found that his seat belt was not unfastened, so he fell back into the chair in a somewhat embarrassing manner. This scene made Sophie and several passengers in the car laugh.

"I told you I can come by myself, why do you have to follow me?" Sophie shook her head while moving things from the back of the car.

"Let me help you—"

“No need,” Sophie said, with no intention of letting go. “You go ahead.”

Several people got out of the car.

"Jane is so amazing. She even managed to bring the royal palace here." Sophie couldn't help but sigh. She took a few steps forward when a guard came forward to stop her and asked about her identity. Sophie was stunned - she didn't have any passes, and she even forgot to greet Jane in advance. After all, when Jane was still on the farm, they agreed that they could come and go at any time...

"Let her in." Victoria's voice came.

Sophie was relieved. She smiled and walked over to Victoria and said hello: "Luckily you're here, so I don't have to worry about it. Where's Jane?"

"She hasn't come back yet," Victoria said. "Something happened last night and she's busy."

Sophie was startled: "Is it serious?"

"It's hard to say." Victoria looked at the women following Sophie. "Have they recovered and can move back home?"

"That won't work yet. We need to observe for a while longer." Sophie said, "Jane sent me an email yesterday, saying that some people here are resistant to taking capsules and using ointments and have not been taking their medications normally. So I brought back two patients who had relatively good treatment results from the hospital and asked them to help persuade them. It also happened to be a good opportunity for them to share their experiences in the hospital and alleviate the fears of some patients here."

Victoria was stunned: "There is such a thing..."

"Yes, Jane said it was Officer Si Lei who found it," Sophie said softly. "By the way, where is Officer Si Lei? I haven't seen her for many years! I can't get through to her on the phone..."

"I didn't see her this morning either. She doesn't seem to be around the palace much these days," Victoria led Sophie and her group into the palace. As they passed through the hall, she suddenly looked at Meisnan, "You—uh, what's your name?"

"My last name is Mei, I——"

"Okay, Mr. Mei, please wait here for a moment," Victoria said, "This entire area is not open to the public, so it would be inconvenient for you to come with us."
