XTeam

They have been waiting in the car for almost 30 minutes, but David and his team haven't arrived yet.

Hiro started to worry, "Boss, what time will the support team arrive? We'll be late if we stay here too long."

Mel didn't answer; she just glanced at the digital clock on the dashboard; it's now 4.50 pm. She was also worried about the appointment with Aunty Bella. Still, she couldn't possibly leave the President's son without making sure the support team has arrived.

She has to keep waiting for David to arrive before she leaves this place. "Max, how's the situation over there?" She's finally asking Max.

"So far, everything is safe, Boss. They held the boy in one of the rooms on the 2nd floor. They heavily guarded the villa; I detect five armed guards patrolling and CCTVs on each access door."

Mel thought for a moment; she immediately took her laptop from her backpack and types quickly. She was so focused on what she was doing that she didn't notice several cars were rapidly approaching them.

"Boss, several cars are approaching us! Could it be the support team?" Hiro's asking with an almost shouting voice. He seems glad.

Mel looked at the approaching car. After she was sure it was David, she got out of her vehicle.

Mel sees a big man who had shot earlier was walking towards her. "Ms. Mel Tan, I'm David." That man greets her. Mel just nodded. "Ms. Tan, thanks for helping us to follow the kidnapper car. Thanks to you, we know their place. Now, we will take over; you can..." Before David finished speaking, Mel left him and walked towards the reinforcements behind him.

Mel saw her partner behind David; she was shocked. She was not expecting to meet her XTeam comrade here.

She approached them. "Guys? What are you doing here?" She raises her eyebrow. "Wow! all Group 1 is here!" Mel couldn't believe, in front of her standing Mario and others.

Mario, the team leader of Group 1, stared at her in disbelief. "MEL? What in hell are you doing here? are you the woman who followed the kidnapper?"

Mel chuckled. "I don't know what to call it, luck or sucks, but when the kidnapping happened, I was at the crime scene, so... you know me. Just went looking for trouble" Mel's chuckled. But no one seems to get the joke. So, she then continues saying, "Well, can't just let people, especially children, in need pass by without giving a help, right?!" She grinned, hoping she doesn't sound bragging.

All XTeam members couldn't help but smile at her answer.

"Huh! Mario, where's Commander?" Mel didn't see Alex among them.

"Commander is in another place with Group 2," Mario replied. "We happened on duty at the border and got an emergency signal...."

David stunned, seeing Mel talking casually with the special forces that came with him.

Do they know each other?

Who is this woman?

David can guess, this woman was not an ordinary citizen because ordinary citizens won't dare to chase kidnappers with firearms.

But, why were they talking casually, as if they were in a park?

Shouldn't they act to help my young master?

David dumbfounded.

He immediately approached them, "Sorry to interrupt your conversation. Shouldn't we take action now?"

Mel looked back at David. She saw, his face was ashen, she stunned.

Is he okay? She wanted to ask if he had received medical help? But seeing the gloomy look on his face, Mel put it off.

She gave him a reassuring smile. "Sorry for ignoring you, Mr. David. You don't need to worry; I know Mario and his team well; they will save the child unscathed and in a timely fashion."

"Guys, let's get back to business." She returned her gaze to Mario and the others then brief them, "Team Leader, use your AI Stickers. I've sent the data of the kidnapper's villa so that you can follow the AI Sticker. Please move at night because the perpetrators are guarding the villa tightly, and there are lots of CCTV." Mel paused and glance at Bryan, the computer-expert member in Group 1. "Bryan, you will be their eyes and ears. Sorry, I can't company you guys. Because in the next 2 hours I have an appointment in downtown."

"Don't worry, Mel, consider it done," Bryan said with a reassuring smile.

"Yeah! You just go. We can handle everything here." Mario calmed her down.

Mel nodded and turned to look at David. "Mr. David, sorry I have to go back to town, and I don't have a vehicle. Can I use your SUV? I'll park your car at Hotel W so that you can pick it up later."

"Of course, Ms. Tan. We are very grateful for your help. Please use my car, and I will call you back when the problem here is over."

"Thank you, Mr. David."

After Mel gave Group 1 the information they need, She left with Hiro; they will have to rush back to the city.

"Max, can you find out where Aunt Bella now?"

"Ms. Bella is still in her office getting ready to go home. If she left the office now, she would arrive at W hotel in 30 minutes from now."

"Hiro, speed up! You should arrive at the hotel in 30 minutes. That's an order!!"

Hiro "..."

At W Hotel.

They ran from the parking lot to the VIP room, leaving them panting. For a moment, no one spoke; they just sat in silence.

Soon there was a knock on the door from outside. After catching breath, Hiro stood up and opened the door.

He was a little surprised to see a woman stood in front of him. She looks so beautiful; the first thing Hiro noticed, her dark brown curly hair fell to her back, so gorgeous.

Hiro blinked a few times before he asked, "Ms. Bella?"

He wasn't sure if this woman is Aunt Bella. Because as he recalled, Aunty Bella was approaching 40 years old, while her look would make others thinking she was in her late twenties. Although she looks young, her mature charisma amazed Hiro.

Bella nodded while she's observing Hiro.

She was confused when Hiro asked her to meet. Because she has nothing to do or has any business with him, she has refused to meet him, afraid that this man was Vivian's people. But he said the reason they met was because of a job offer.

Bella remembered that she had sent some of her resumes to a big company in the city of J, but that was a long time ago before she decides to move here.

Out of curiosity, she finally agreed to meet. After all, Hiro also came to town, so tonight, she has decided to meet him.

"Are you Mr. Hiro Sumitomo?" she said.

"Yes, Ms. Bella, nice to meet you; please come in." Hiro opened the VIP room door wide and ushered her in.

Bella entered the room; she saw a beautiful young woman standing looking at her. She walked over and smiled at her. "Hello," she greeted her.

"Aunty Bella... How are you? We haven't seen each other in a long time."

Bella stopped. Was she surprised to hear the beautiful woman calling her aunty? Who is this woman? She furrowed her brows, trying to remember. After trying to remember, she couldn't find any clue.

She looked straight into the beautiful woman's grey eyes, and then their eyes met. Instantly her heart trembled.
