The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2923

"Yes. So far, they haven't called or stated any ransom amount, but this is a very serious incident. My wife was taken on her way home, and I believe your officers understand what might happen next. Our only demand is to prevent the worst-case scenario. I want her back safe and sound, not a hair harmed."

The lieutenant Sherman was talking to did not take the matter seriously, but upon realizing Sherman's identity, he immediately sat up straight. "I promise to ensure the safe return of your wife. We've mobilized a team to investigate and gather clues in the area."

Sherman impatiently interrupted him, "Alright, handle it however you see fit. I just want her back safely."

He hung up. Knowing he should not rely only on the police, he contacted the people who had some connection with the criminal world. He was not unfamiliar with unconventional methods, but some people were too arrogant, always thinking they could manipulate everything.

"Go find out if there's been any activity from Esmond lately."

"Oh, Mister Sherman, it's been a while since we last spoke. To what does a small fry like me owe this pleasure?"

The person on the other end of the phone still wanted to exchange pleasantries with Sherman, but Sherman had no time for that.

"I get it. I'll come by your place after this is over. But right now, the most important thing is finding my wife. No harm must come to her, understand? The sooner, the better. I don't have much time."

The person on the other end of the phone became serious too. "Got it, Mister Sherman. We'll make sure to bring back your wife safely."
