Renee�s eyes widened and she gasped, Jane! She�s gone!�

Stefan looked around, his eyebrows raised in surprise. They looked at each other anxiously, realising how serious the situation was.

�Jane! Jane!� Renee panicked and shouted Jane�s name. She was so nervous that her voice was shaky.

Jane was Mr. and Mrs. Wood�s beloved daughter, and even Renee loved her like she was her own child. Jane was missing due to their own carelessness. What if she had been kidnapped by a human trafficker? It was too horrible to even contemplate, and Renee prayed it wasn�t the case.

�Jane, where are you? Come back now! Don�t scare me, Jane!� Renee scurried around the crowded cinema, panicked and desperate. Her eyes soon became red and watery as she held back tears.

Seeing her like that made Stefan�s heart ache, and he rested his large palms on her shoulders reassuringly. Stefan�s voice was calm and steady as he told her, �Don�t worry, she�s probably still in the mall. I�ll ask people to block all the exits here. We�ll find her!�

Renee was at a loss for words. She nibbled her lip unsurely, her eyes full of tears as she looked up at him. Even though she hated Stefan, she felt like as long as he was here, the issue would be solved. Even if things got out of hand, he would definitely figure a way out.

They looked at each other intently, emotions whirling in their eyes. Suddenly, they heard a chilling scream from nearby.

�Ah! He�s going to kill her! Run!�

Renee knitted her brows tightly and grabbed a woman who was running away. �What�s going on?�

�A�A crazy man kidnapped a girl in the hall on the first floor. He�s a suicide bomber!�

�A girl?� Renee felt sick to her stomach, and quickly asked the lady, �Is that girl around five to six years old and wearing a yellow dress?�

The lady looked bewildered, but nodded slowly.�I think so! You both should leave� Everyone in this mall will die if that bomb goes off!�

After that, she hurried away, along with many others from the first floor.

Renee immediately wanted to go downstairs, but Stefan stopped her. �What are you doing?�

Renee looked at him desperately. �Isn�t it obvious? I�m trying to save her! A madman kidnapped Jane. If I don�t save her, she�ll die!�

Stefan pointed at the emergency exit that everyone was rushing to, then said urgently, �It�s too dangerous here. Go to the emergency exit with the others and leave this place.�

After that, he pushed past the panicked people, running towards the scene without turning around.

Renee watched his tall and resolute frame move through the crowd, slightly stunned. She hated that scumbag so much, but right now, his selflessness was oddly moving.

Almost all the civilians had evacuated the first floor, leaving only the armed police officers. JrNovels.com
