The woman in the photo and the one in the surveillance footage looked like two completely different people; it was impressive that Lizetta had managed to connect them so quickly.
Jerome raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Brilliant work. This confirms that Sun Mei's family is behind the kidnapping. Now that we have their identities, things will be much easier."
"This Mrs. Sun started working at the West estate last year, before Ron was even born. Eartha must have planted her there right after making initial contact with Martin West, using her to keep tabs on Zion City and lay the groundwork for this scheme."
Remington's tone was icy.
"No wonder Eartha knew everything going on in Zion City," Lizetta scoffed. As cunning as Martin was, he clearly never expected Eartha to infiltrate his own home.
Nelson picked up the photo of Zhang Hua, studied it for a moment, and tossed it back onto the table.
"We know Sun Mei's second son went to Celestia to study four years ago, and he's likely still there. He was probably securing an escape route abroad to receive them if things went south. Meanwhile, the eldest son's family executed the kidnapping."
"I'll distribute the photos of the eldest son and his wife immediately for a city-wide search. The second they show their faces, we'll lock onto them."
Remington was just about to contact Ray when his phone rang. It was Ray.
He answered the call and put it on speaker.
Ray didn't waste any time and reported straight to the point.
"Boss, we've finished screening all the departure points in Zion City over the past two days. We can confirm Mr. Ron is not among any of the children who left the city. They must still be hiding locally."
Remington glanced at Lizetta, a faint smirk lifting the corners of his mouth.
If Ron was still in Zion City, things would be much easier. Pinpointing his location was only a matter of time.
Lizetta clearly understood this too, and she instinctively reached out her hand.
