Chereads / What If I Told You That I Love You (Hiatus) / Chapter 22 - Sophia Zhou [2]

Chapter 22 - Sophia Zhou [2]

Noah was reading the last report that he needed to read before tomorrow and wrote some feedback before going through his email replying to important emails. He looked at the time and turned it off his IMac before he stood up and stretched. "I should sleep soon," he walked to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water and saw the trash bags in front of his exit door. Knowing how clean he is and how much he hates insects made him wanna throw the bags out before it gets smelly the next day.

"A short walk won't be so bad," He went to his bedroom and wore a black hoodie paired with black shorts, and wore his black Nike Air Max 270 before he grabbed his keys.

He locked his door and was about to go and take the elevator down when he saw Sophia's door wide open. A broken picture frame was lying on the floor in front of the door, he knocked on the door but no one responded so he tried to call her out but once again no response. He went inside scared that she must have hurt herself and knocked in every room before entering and found only suitcases and boxes. Noah decided to close the door to the balcony and closed her door and waited outside thinking that she must have walked to the nearest grocery store to buy a broom. He waited for 30 minutes and started to get impatient and went to ask the security guard on the outside guarding the gate.

The moment he walked out of the front door he saw the security guard lying on the floor unconsciously. He ran over to him and checked his pulse and sighed in relief when he found his pulse was still beating and called an ambulance right away. The ambulance came shortly and drove back to the hospital with the security guard pretty quick with how Noah described his condition since he's a doctor too.

Noah picked up his phone and dialed a number, not even a second the person from the other line picked up his phone. "Hello, brother Noah!"

"Hi Pako! Sorry for calling you this late but could you do me favour and check all the CCTV cameras from where I live?" Noah asked and threw his trash.

"Yes, of course, I can check all the CCTV cameras from where you live...wait what? Brother are you okay? Did something happen?" Pako asked and stood up from his gaming chair.

"No, I'm fine but my neighbor just went missing after she moved in, and the security guard was lying on the ground when I was taking out the trash," said Noah.

"Hmm, looks like someone deleted all the footage from today," said Pako while typing something on his computer.

"You know what to do," said Noah coldly which made Pako shiver.

"II...I'm on it," said Pako and switched on his secret program 'The God's eyes'.

Pako only typed the place, date, and time from when the incident took place and every footage from today that was deleted came up on his 6 computer screens like it was never deleted before. He looked for a while and found the footage of Noah and Sophia and dragged the footage on the computer screen in front of him.

"I found the footage of you and your neighbor, brother. Nobody used the elevator after you guys for like maybe 15 minutes but then two men in all black used the elevator afterward. Looks like they got off on the 12th floor, I don't have any footage on the hallway to the 12th floor," said Pako.

"Well that makes sense there are no CCTV cameras on the hallways anyways," Said Noah and went to the nearest bench outside Hyatt Regency. "Why are you so suddenly quiet Pako?"

"Looks like your neighbor got kidnapped. Those men in all black came back with the miss but it looks like they knocked her out because one of them is carrying her on his shoulder," said Pako as he zoomed this footage.

"Who are them? I want the name and the information, send me the last footage to my phone too," Said Noah and went inside.

"Please give me a sec," said Pako and typed something which made the picture of the two men in all black on the elevator froze while the other computer screen had pictures and information of other men that the 'God's eyes' were comparing with to find their true identity.

"Found it! Abel Uy is the one to the right and the other one who carried Miss Zhou is Milo Lawan. There's nothing special about them other than being the Zhou's bodyguard."

"Thanks, Pako!" said Noah before he hung up and called another one.

"Yes, big boss? What can I do for you?" said the one from the other line.

"I will give you 10 minutes to find two people I'm looking for, the information is already sent and I want them alive," said Noah and hung up the call.

The Royal Lions mini base

"Listen up and call all the brothers! We have a mission from big boss Jason (Noah)," said scarface and connected his phone to the mini projector so everyone could see. "Our big boss Jason (Noah) is looking for these two assholes so look closely at them, and he wants them alive. Understand?" asked Scarface and looked at everyone.

"Yessir!" said everyone and ran out to start their car/motorcycle.

...

Outside the Zhou mansion

"They are the bodyguards that kidnapped the young miss, second master," said another bodyguard and pushed the two bodyguards with tape on their arms and mouth.

"Good! Thank you Domino!" said Zhou Li Min and patted on his shoulder. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ehm, second master, my name is Dominic," said Domonic awkwardly.

"Oh, I mean Dominic," Zhou Li Min before he walked over to his car.

Zhou Li Min's bodyguards were about to take those two bodyguards that kidnapped Sophia in the car when suddenly 4 cars along with 2 motorcycles were blocking the way from each side. All the bodyguards pulled out their guns and pointed at the cars and motorcycles and the same did the people in the car and motorcycle do to them.

Zhou Li Min cursed and got out of his car. "Who are you guys?"

A man with a big scar on his face walked up and crossed his arms. "Does it matter who we are? You and your clowns are taking away the assholes our big boss is looking for,"

"What the hell did you guys do? Did you borrow money from the loan sharks?" asked Zhou Li Min and looked at those two bodyguards that shook their heads and were almost tearing up when they saw those gangsters looking at them. "I refuse to give them over,"

"Sir we only have 1 minute left," said a guy and whispered to Scarface.

"We don't have to make it difficult, just hand them over to us and we won't do anything to you guys," said scarface.

"I won't hand them over," said Zhou Li Min glaring at them.

"Sir, big boss is calling," said the guy that whispered earlier.

Scarface took the phone and walked behind the car.

Scarface: [Big boss-]

Noah: [You have 30 seconds left to show up with them.]

Scarface: [I'm sorry some rich guy is taking them away and won't hand them over to us. Can we shoot them?]

Noah: [No, where are you guys?]

Scarface: [Right in front of a mansion called Zhou mansion.]

Noah: [Alright wait for me.]

Noah drove his Mercedes GT 63 to Zhou mansion and saw his people blocking both ways. He parked the car behind them and got out of his car walking straight to Scarface who was standing in front of the cars crossing his arms. He and the other bowed their head when they saw Noah coming.

"Greeting big boss!" said everyone and bowed.

"So you are the boss? I suggested that you take your wolf pack home," said Zhou Li Min annoyingly.

"I don't think you understand this, but those two kidnapped miss Zhou," said Noah and showed him the clip of when one of them was carrying her in the elevator.

Zhou Li Min grabbed Milo Lawan (The bodyguard that carried Sophia earlier) and punched him hard in the face. "Is this how you carry your young miss out? Like a sack of potatoes? You fucking scumbag, " said Zhou Li Min.

Noah grabbed Milo Lawan when he was lying on the ground from one strong punch Zhou Li Min gave him. "Where is she? Where is Miss Zhou, you bastard!!!!" Noah grabbed his shirt and shook him a few times while he was asking him.

"Young...miss...is...in....the....mansion please don't kill me I only did what I was ordered to do from master Zhou," said Milo Lawan and tried to catch his breath once Noah released his black shirt.

He was about to enter Zhou's mansion when he got stopped by Zhou Li Min. "Where the hell do you think you are going? No wait, who the hell are you?"

Noah, who only wanted to check if Sophia was alright stopped and turned around to face Zhou Li Min. "I just wanna check if she's alright,"

"No need to worry about her, but who are you to her? Why do you care about her so much?" asked Zhou Li Min while glaring at him.

"I'm..I'm..her new neighbor," said Noah and felt a bit empty inside him.

"Ha? So you are just an outsider?" asked Zhou Li Min mockingly as he was looking at Noah.

Noah looked at him before he asked. "Then what about you? Who are you to her?"

Zhou Li Min came closer to Noah. "Listen here boy, I'm her handsome blood-related uncle that cherishes her so much that I will kill anyone who dares to hurt her. Now take your wolf pack home before I have to involve the police, and I don't have time for that bullshit," said Zhou Li Min.

Noah, who was a bit surprised after knowing who he is, decided to leave those bastards to Sophia's uncle and told everyone to go back. Everyone bowed to Noah before everyone drove back to The Royal Lion's mini base. Noah, who was still standing there, and was glaring at Milo Lawan one last time before he walked over to Zhou Li Min. "I hope Miss Zhou is alright," he said and walked to his car before Zhou Li Min could say anything.

"Kentaro!" called Zhou Li Min.

"Yes CEO Zhou?" asked Kentaro and ran to his boss.

"I want to know who this guy is," said Zhou Li Min while looking at Noah's car who was driving off.

"Should I put him on the blacklist CEO Zhou?�� asked assistant Kentaro and wrote the plate number of Noah's car on his little notebook.

"No, I like this guy, he likes Sophia for sure," said Zhou Li Min before he entered his car.

Assistant Kentaro thought for a second that his boss was gay and lost his pen, but breathed in relief. "I can finally clear out the rumors about CEO Zhou being gay,"
