Previously, Lenora had moved her stuff to the loft, and shortly after, she packed sclothes and left for Nardor.

Her other luggage was still piled up in the room, untouched.

Having decided to settle here for the long haul, Lenora meticulously organized her luggage.

Only the stuff her father left behind remained once all the clothes and items had been put away.

New Year's Day had passed, and the New Year's holiday was fast approaching, marking yet another year gone by.

Another year has passed since Father left. The van driver is now out of prison, living a comfortable life. even

having extra money to travel abroad. Yet, my father had forever laid to rest, departed for eternity. At that

thought, a bitter discomfort filled Lenora's heart.

She opened her father's notebook, slowly turning each page. The foot of the pages had yellowed with age. and

she had repeatedly traced her fingers over the familiar handwriting on them.

As she was flipping through, a photograph fell out of the notebook.

It was the one seemingly related to the kidnapping case from years ago.

Lenora casually picked it up, glanced at it, and tucked it into his notebook.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. She immediately took out the photograph and examined it

closely.

The photograph was taken at a strange angle as if covertly shot from behind a pillar, with one corner of the

foreground obscured by the pillar.

It captured two individuals. One was seen in profile, while the other was angled roughly at forty-five degrees.

Since it was a distant view, the facial features weren't clear. One could only make out a rough idea.

Yet, Lenora still felt that the forty-five-degree profile was strangely familiar as if she had seen it somewhere.

| didn't have these feelings the last t| saw this photo. Where on earth have | seen it before?

A flash of realization struck Lenora's mind.

| remember now! | saw a man of similar age accompanying the van driver at Pantelos Airport in Sparaville

Back then, she thought the man seemed vaguely familiar and assumed he was the van driver's relative.

Lenora closed her eyes, carefully recalling the past. Even though they had only met once, the face she

remembered from the airport and the half-profile in the photograph were vividly overlapping in her

mind.

Her memory had never been so vivid before.

No wonder | found him vaguely familiar at the airport | had seen him in a photof

With the photograph in her trembling hand, Lenora was consumed by an overwhelming surge of

excitement.

This photo is related to that particular kidnapping case and was taken covertly. Therefore, the two individuals

captured in it could only be the kidnappers. In other words, one of the kidnappers is acquainted with the van

driver who killed Father. Lenora was convinced it wasn't a coincidence.

My father's death wasn't an accident but a meticulously planned murder! At that time, he had already gained

significant fdue to the food additive case. His involvement in other reports of justice had also been brought

to light, earning him an extremely high reputation a At that thought, Lenora's eyes welled up with tears. She held

the photograph tightly, her fingertips turning pale.

Imust avenge my father!

Lenora sat on the ground and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Then, taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, forcing herself to calm down and think seriously.

There was once a kidnapping incident in Terrandya, with the hostage being the daughter of a celebrity.

During the police rescue operation, the voracious media disregarded the desperate pleas of the celebrity mother

reported in real-time, even broadcasting live from the scene, leading to the hostage being brutally killed by the

kidnappers and dying a tragic death. This case Lenora stumbled upon unintentionally left a profound impression

on her, for the victim in question was

only seventeen. Not only was the victim in the prof her youth, right at the age when she should be attending

high school, but she was also the only child of that celebrity mother.

Apart from the victim and her mother, the most infuriating aspect

was the media that profited from others' misfortune. They were the kidnappers' accomplices and just as wicked!

Perhaps learning from this incident, related information was prevented from leaking out before the hostages’

rescue in similar cases in the country, much less ha Indeed, she felt it was something her father would do,

seeing as he went undercover at the factory to gather evidence for that food additive case.

It's probably because he was caught secretly taking photos that he incurred the resentment of the kidnappers. At

that time, Father was already penning a news report. By the tit reached the stage where it could be

published, either the hostage would've been rescued o From the unfinished draft in the notebook, she learned

that the kidnapping had occurred on April 12th of that year. Meanwhile, her father's death anniversary was on

April 18th.

This indicated one thing the kidnappers hadn't been apprehended on the spot. At least at the tof her father's

death, they were still on the run. Otherwise, the actions of the van driver would have been completely pointless,

As for the fate of the hostage and whether the kidnappers were eventually brought to justice, Lenora didn't pay

attention to it at the time.

Back then, she had never linked her father's death to this case.

Even though there had been moments of doubt, suspecting that her father was murdered, she assumed it was

likely due to someone he had offended in the past because of his dedication to honest journalism. She took a

deep breath and spaced out for a few seconds before she singled out her father's notebook and the photograph.

Since her father's case had long been classified as a traffic accident, and the van driver had already served his

time, it was difficult for her to persuade the police to reopen the investigation based solely on her suspicions,

Hence, she could only investigate this matter privately.

Father's death back then had a great impact on society. Under the scrutiny of various social sectors, the police

were bound to investigate the case diligently. Yet, they were unable to link the van driver and the kidnappers

from the recent past, which showed the depth of the Lenora poured herself a glass of water, taking a couple of

sips to calm her nerves. Then, she pulled out her laptop, fired

up the search engine, and began researching reports about the kidnapping case that year.

However, when she searched for the kidnapping case on April 12th, she found absolutely nothing!

The search only yielded a bunch of random things.

Even when she changed the keywords, she only found irrelevant web pages.

It was as though this incident never happened!

Why did it turn out like this?

Lenora's palms were sweating,

Only after investigating did she realize how many oddities were hidden within, having been oblivious previously.

Had it not been for the draft that her father had started and the existence of this very photograph, Lenora might

have doubted the accuracy of her memory.

Could it be that no other media outlets reported on this incident aside from my father? It's unlikely. They would

do anything for profit, just like those reporters who take

advantage of others' misfortune. Moreover, once the kidnapping case was resolved, regardless of the outcome,

the media would report on it immediately to boost their readership.

With that in mind, Lenora decided to browse other international websites.

Perseverance paid off. After two hours of relentless searching, when Lenora's eyes were strained and blurry, she

finally found a related report on an obscure website, which read: News report, a kidnapping case occurred in

Jacaster on April 12th. Currently, the hostage is safe and the suspects are being apprehended.

With just a few short lines of text, Lenora felt as excited as if she had found a lifeline.

This confirmed that the issue wasn't with her memory but with the internet.

Lenora refused to believe there were no media reports back then, but with no traces on the internet, it was

certain that someone had erased all evidence of this case.

It must've been the work of the kidnappers and their group! This group of kidnappers was no ordinary bunch:

they managed to evade the scrutiny of society at large! How terrifying!

They were so powerful that Lenora found it somewhat hard to believe. For a fleeting moment, she even

suspected there was traitor.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

While deep in thought, a sudden knock on the door from outside startled her, sending a jolt through her body.
