In a rush, James turned to Steve and asked, “Did your son offend anyone during his time in Aurous Hill?”<fn2ce0> Read full story at find?novel</fn2ce0>


    Steve shook his head. “My son has never been to Aurous Hill before. In fact, he’s never even been to China. He was sent here by our family to help grow the family business, and since he’s only just arrived, I doubt he has any enemies here.”


    Curious, James inquired, “Is your son married?”


    Steve replied quickly, “Yes, he is married and has two children.”


    James pressed on, asking, “Has his personal life been scrutinized?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Steve responded earnestly, “I’ve never heard of him having any inappropriate rtionships with other women.”


    Then James asked, “Is he a drug addict?”


    “No! Absolutely not!” Steve eximed. “Our family has a strict policy against drug use. All adult males must undergo regr urine tests. If anyone is found to be using drugs, they will be removed from their responsibilities, and all family funds will be reimed. Walter would never cross this line!”


    James raised four fingers and stated, “Most criminal cases generally fall into four categories: financial gain, addiction, love, or revenge. If your son was kidnapped without a demand for money, we can rule out financial motives. Since he undergoes regr urine tests and is not a drug user, we can eliminate that possibility too. Regarding romantic entanglements, while you say his personal life is clean, it’s hard to know the full story, even as a father. His close friends might know more about his rtionships. So, emotional motives could still be in y. As for revenge, even though your son is new to Aurous Hill, it’s possible he might have offended someone powerful here. In my opinion, the chances of love or revenge are equally usible. You might want to investigate these two angles first.”


    Steve nodded appreciatively. “Thank you, Mr. Banks, for your valuable insights. I will actively look for clues to see if I can find any breakthroughs!”


    James analyzed the situation extensively, hoping that Steve could uncover leads rted to his son’s disappearance. He suspected that the same individuals responsible for his son’s case were also behind the disappearances of Deana and Zara. Although he felt powerless to find clues himself, Steve’s efforts could make a significant difference.


    Suddenly, Steve eximed, “Wait! My son seems to have had a close college ssmate in Aurous Hill—if I remember correctly, she’s a woman!”


    James’s excitement was palpable. “That’s a crucial lead! If this woman is connected to your son’s disappearance, we should prioritize tracking her down for more information!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
