Just as in Jay's analysis, nobody received news from Lilith, but all of them didn't receive a call from the kidnapper, which meant that it was not an assassination.
Jay was getting more and more gaunt. Jay went out to look for Lilith with his colleagues and spread Lilith's photo to all places of public entertainment. Jay's brothers were also referred to their friends for information. And Jay stayed at the police station to look through the surveillance video.
Jay found that Lilith showed up on Beverly Street several days ago, but she didn't drive her car but took a taxi and she got off at Beverly Street. She also showed up in Silver Street, and a man in a policeman's uniform stepped to her, but Jay couldn't get any information about their conversation. What's more, Jay also couldn't see clearly what the man looked like.
That was the only information Jay got from the video, and he even couldn't tell if Lilith had left with the man.
Jay also went to the scene to see if he could get some clues, but he discovered that the cameras that could capture the man's look were ruined deliberately. It meant that it was a well-planned plot.
Lenard also stayed at the police station and tried some information from Lilith during this period. Lenard also lost a lot of weight, and his phone kept ringing. Lenard went through the phone while his mother's voice was heard on the other end. His mother asked him to go back home immediately in a rather angry voice. But Lenard was an adult, and he couldn't follow his mother's words.
His mother was irritated, forcing him to break up with Lilith and telling him to leave her business alone. Lenard's mother was mad at Lilith, who brought shame to their family.
Lenard tried his best to persuade his mother and told her that even if Lilith didn't love him, she was still his beloved woman.
Jay walked out, took out his cigarette, and lit it.
Kelly and William also didn't have time to run the company and focused on looking for their daughter. Kelly called Jay frequently, trying to get some information about Lilith from him. But Jay would give her a disappointing answer, while Kelly would vent her anger to Jay.
"Jay, I am going to get even with you if something really happens to Lilith," yelled Kelly.
Jay would not forgive himself if something really happened to Lilith.
When he was smoking there, his phone rang.
Taking out his phone, he found it was a strange phone number.
Jay trembled slightly somehow, and he rushed to his office while throwing away his cigarette. He could sense that something was weird. Lenard was still persuading his mother, but Jay ignored him and connected his phone to the computer.
Lenard sensed something must happen, so he hastily hung up the phone and rushed to Jay to see if he needed some help.
Jay gave him a sign, counted backward three times, and then put through the phone. Taking this chance, Lenard tried to track the source of the phone.
"This is Jay," he said in a rather calm voice.
Soon the voice from the other end of the phone was heard, but it seemed that the voice was processed, which sounded harsh."
Hello, cap. Do you miss your girlfriend these days?"
Jay could not get any information since the sound was processed.
"You got Lilith?" asked Jay, who tried to buy time.
"Of course. You also got my people, right?"
Shocked, Jay soon realized what the man meant. "Are you the evil angel?"
"Our boss thinks you are fond of meddling in others' business."
It sounded like the man calling him was the evil angel's heeler.
"What do you want to do?" asked Jay, who looked back at Lenard to see if he got any information, but Lenard just shook his head disappointedly.
The man burst out laughing and continued, "I know you are buying time, but you better not lash the waves. You can't catch us. You have been trying to find us for so many years, but you failed each time."
"Are you threatening me? You want me to release your people?" asked Jay.
"You are wrong, cap. I don't care about them at all since they have been caught. I just want to know if you want to hear the voice of your girlfriend?" replied the man in a cold voice.
Jay trembled as he heard this.
"Say something," The man's voice was heard on the phone. But he got no response.
"It seems you are a stubborn girl," continued the man.
"You better not touch her! Lilith, are you there?" yelled Jay at the phone.
Soon Lilith's voice spread from the phone. "Jay, leave me alone," said Lilith in a shaky yet tearful voice.
"Look, your girlfriend cares about you so much. Has your love sickness been relieved?" The man said again with a sneer.
"Fuck off. What the hell do you want to do?" Jay was furious, and Lilith's words were like a knife stabbing his heart.
"Nothing. But you better remain in the proper sphere," responded the man. He hung up the phone as he finished his sentence.
"Hello? Hello?" However, Jay got no response. He was so furious that he wanted to break the phone into pieces.
"Have you traced the source of the phone?" asked Jay, who punched the desk to vent his anger. Lilith's voice lingered in his mind.
Lenard looked frustrated and replied, "The phone number is encrypted, and I can't trace it at all."
"Damn it!" Jay was even angrier and swept all the papers to the ground.
Lenard tried to calm him down and asked, "This evil angel's heeler giving you the call?"
Jay squinted and said nothing but just nodded.
"What shall we do next?" asked Lenard again.
Jay also wondered what to do next, but the man didn't even negotiate with him. Jay worried about Lilith's safety since he didn't know what those people wanted. Thinking for a while, Jay took over his car key and rushed out.
"Jay!" Lenard was shocked but then followed him out.

Daisy was abroad, so Joseph needed to drive to work by himself. He drove a Business Purpose Vehicle, which was low-pitched. Although he had many roadsters, he never drove to work. When Joseph rushed out, Irish had already driven his car away.
Indeed, this car was not suitable for her, but its luxurious appearance attracted people's attention. She drove aimlessly and then drove to Fifth Avenue.
Irish drove at high speed and almost broke the traffic rules, but finally, she stopped at the roadside. She shut off the engine and leaned over the wheel.
Helplessness and frustration overwhelmed her. She clearly shouldn't be controlled by the bad mood, which would poison her senses and influence her behaviour.
She bore a grudge against Joseph at this moment, but he was her beloved, and she didn't expect to push her into a tight corner.
