Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Targeting Lucy Clayton

When dawn broke, Yusuf Zuck arrived at Fleur Carson’s residence where Ember Vance lived. He knocked on the door for a full three minutes, but there was no response from inside.

Yusuf’s first instinct was that something had happened, something had happened to little Ember.

After returning to his car, he didn’t leave immediately; instead, he forced himself to calm down and started to recall everything that had happened over the past day and night.

Someone was targeting him from the shadows; ever since he was brought into the police station, this hidden enemy had started taking retaliatory strikes against his team, even going so far as to attempt murder!

But who in the capital had a vend in for him?

Bud Trujillo, a patriarch’s son; the gang leader known as Brother Dao; perhaps even the Nash family from Zhonghai.

His bigger enemies also included Jeff Frost, who had troops at his command, as well as the gambling syndicates in Las Vegas. But if these two organizations wanted to go after him, they wouldn’t resort to these tactics, let alone try to control him through official channels.

"The source... the source is at New Era Film," Yusuf thought hard for half an hour. After thinking through everything that had transpired in the last few days, he faintly felt that the source of it all should be tied to New Era Film.

Although New Era Film had reported a police case, the case file was in Ember’s hands, so outsiders, even Ember’s immediate superiors, were definitely in the dark about it.

So the question was, why did the people at the Unity police station know about the case after he was brought there, when no one else should have known?

There must have been someone tipping them off, and this person had been keeping a close watch on him; that person must be connected to the people behind New Era Film.

Having realized this, Yusuf immediately called Samuel Ross, "Can you move? Take the brothers who can move and go to President Yu’s house from New Era Film, take control of him." Yusuf was furious; he had warned President Yu, but the man didn’t listen and still reported to the police, so he couldn’t blame Yusuf for being ruthless.

Samuel Ross was also holding a grudge, so upon receiving Yusuf’s orders, he immediately left the hospital with Grey Petty carrying the metaphorical pillar.

Uriel Arellano stayed back to look after the patients, and since Miles O’brien was also at the hospital, it was essential to leave someone there.

At 5:30 in the morning, Yusuf received a call from Samuel Ross, who claimed over the phone that President Yu’s family and everyone else had vanished from his residence.

"I understand. You guys head back to the hospital. I might be late getting there," Yusuf’s voice became very low, and he felt a chill in his heart.

Up until now, they still didn’t know who the hidden enemy was behind the scenes, which made him feel both angry and afraid.

After hanging up with Samuel Ross, Yusuf immediately got in touch with the private detective, Anais Dillon. Although they had just been investigating for a little over a day and a night, Yusuf really wanted to know about President Yu’s whereabouts. Finding President Yu might lead them to the hidden enemy, and then they might be able to find little Ember!

He also worried about what might have happened to Ember... Yusuf didn’t dare to think further because he was afraid; if something happened to Ember, he would kill.

"Mr. Zuck, what’s up so early in the morning?" As soon as the call connected, Anais Dillon asked with confusion on the other end of the line.

"Do you know where President Yu from New Era Film is right now? Also, have you found anything in the investigation these past two days?"

"President Yu from New Era Film should be staying at a hotel. I just so happen to be tailing him all day today. Regarding the shareholders behind New Era, currently, I’ve only identified a woman named ’Haibo’ through the industrial and commercial department. However, I have obtained President Yu’s phone call detail records, and I’ll check each person listed in these records one by one."

"Phone call detail records?" Yusuf’s eyebrows shot up: "Can you check for me if he made any calls after nine-thirty the night before last?"

"Oh, oh, oh, okay, just a sec, I’ll have my wife check," Anais Dillon immediately shouted for his wife over the phone, asking for help to check the call log in detail.

It took less than a minute before Anais Dillon suddenly said, "Got it, there was a call last night around nine fifty-something, and there was a police report at ten o’clock!"

"What’s the number for the nine fifty-something call record? Can you find out the name?" Yusuf Zuck urged.

"There’s a name, it’s Lucy Clayton, the cell phone number is really good, six eights at the end, starting with 136..."

"Lucy Clayton?" Yusuf Zuck was startled for a moment; he remembered chatting with Ember Vance once, and when the topic of the street’s big brother came up, Ember Vance had mentioned Lucy Clayton’s name.

The big brother’s name was indeed Lucy Clayton.

"It’s all coming together..." Yusuf Zuck suddenly realized—Fleur Carson’s boss was this big brother, the same people who ambushed Samuel Ross, the same ones who attempted an assassination on Wen Shuai, and perhaps even that Fifth Master from Zhonghai!

Lucy Clayton had close ties with the Fifth Master from Zhonghai; the last time he went to Zhonghai, it was the Fifth Master who sent people to kidnap him and Jerome Hart. Back then, he also crippled one of the Fifth Master’s lieutenants, so it was only natural for the Fifth Master to seek revenge on him and on Wen Shuai.

"No need to look into New Era Film anymore, check this Lucy Clayton for me; I need to know where she lives within an hour. If you can’t do it alone, get Isaac Quintana to help. Find Lucy Clayton within an hour, and I’ll give each of you a million!"

"Got it, I’m on it. Whether I find him or not within the hour, I’ll give you a call!" Anais Dillon quickly ended the call. In an hour, finding a person with a million on the line was undeniably a stroke of luck—it all depended on whether he could grasp it.

After hanging up with Anais Dillon, Yusuf Zuck headed back toward the hospital.

December the thirtieth, six-thirty in the morning, Yusuf Zuck arrived at the Ditan Hospital parking lot. Then he took out the key to his Range Rover, unlocked the tailgate, and from beneath the mat in the trunk, he pulled out a sword wrapped in cloth—a Short Sword.

He had never tested this sword before, but it was light as a feather and telekinesis made it unstoppable!

With this sword, he could eliminate anything within a forty-five-meter radius!

He didn’t go inside the hospital; after retrieving the sword, he returned to his car and patiently waited.

Soon, the hour was up, but Anais Dillon hadn’t called. Yusuf Zuck didn’t rush it; instead, he continued to wait.

After an hour had passed, and about fifteen minutes more, at seven o’clock sharp, Anais Dillon’s call came through.

"Sorry, sorry, I’m a bit late, but we’ve found him," Anais Dillon whispered over the phone: "He’s on the move, about to leave the outskirts of the city. We’re tracking him. His specific location is currently near Shunyi, about to head onto a roundabout. Once he’s on that roundabout, it will lead to different directions—we can’t yet confirm where he’s headed for sure, but we won’t lose him!"

"Good, once I’ve dealt with this, a million each for you. Keep in touch, I’m on my way over," Yusuf Zuck was quite satisfied with the efficiency of Anais Dillon and Isaac Quintana. In a city as vast as Beijing, they had actually managed to find Lucy Clayton in just a little over an hour.

Of course, they likely used some high-tech devices like mobile phone locators or signal tracking equipment, but the fact they could find him so quickly made Yusuf Zuck even more eager for them to join his team. Thus, a million each was just a starter; once he was done with this busy phase, he intended to have a serious talk with the two of them.

Yusuf Zuck started the car, speeding toward Shunyi.

He was about to kill someone.

For those who continually showed their fangs and blades from behind his back, Yusuf Zuck didn’t want them alive.
