Chapter 997 - Never Forget It
Did Leila have something to eat? Was she still safe? He didn't know anything, and his mind was full of these thoughts, thinking that she might be lying weak in a dark, damp corner because she had nothing to eat or water to drink, and her throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't swallow anything at all.
At this moment, an abrupt bell rang suddenly.
Roy was shocked and immediately threw himself in the direction of his phone, praying that the call would bring good news about Lyra.
However, there was a person on the other end of the phone that he didn't expect.
"Roy. A low, majestic voice came.
“…… Grandpa?"
"It's me. I want to know what's going on over there. Osveld had enough of getting some boring notifications every day that "there is progress, there will be results soon". Then he finally remembered that there was someone he could trust and who would be honest with him.
He can't blame him for remembering Roy's existence now, mainly because Roy was not on the crew list when Leila set off before. If it weren't for the old man calling Leila's secretary to inquire, he probably wouldn't have known that he had gone with him.
Roy is the same, he has never enjoyed the warmth of his family, and he will not think of giving some notice to his family as soon as something happens. Now that the old man called, he remembered that he hadn't made a single call for so many days.
"I'm sorry, grandpa, it's all my fault, I didn't take good care of her!"
The old man could hear the pain in his voice, and at this time he didn't want to dwell on some boring topics: "Tell me everything you know." Did the people sent and the South African authorities seriously look for Leila?"
Speaking of which, Roy was really full of complaints and wanted to vent. So he really "vented", or vented to an important person. He doesn't know what kind of impact his catharsis will have on future elections.
"I see. After listening to his words, although the old man's voice was still very steady, if you saw his appearance at this time, you would see what kind of sharp look appeared in his eyes.
Those people said they would send the best people to rescue Leila, but they sent them out, but they just sat and researched! Do you need these people to play tricks? He can easily find a bunch of people from his subordinate media, and all of them are professional.
He had already spoken his decision to the people in the White House, and it was clear that his words were not respected.
After hanging up the phone, the old man found a business card in the drawer of his desk.
"If the Republicans can't help him get Leila back, what's the need to support them?" he snorted and dialed the number on his business card.
Hearing that the call was connected, he said directly: "I'm Osvid Moran." If you can get my granddaughter back, I will support you in this election with the entire Moran Group!"
One can imagine what this call means for the Democratic Party, which is running for the presidency.
There was little need for hesitation, and they said yes.
As the protagonist of the incident, Leila has no idea how much impact she has caused to the outside world because of her disappearance. Martin hasn't appeared for the past few days, I don't know if it's a script problem that stumped him, but in short, she got a rare leisure. In addition to eating and drinking every day, you can also ask for some books to be delivered.
Ever reborn as Leila, for the first time in ten years, it seems like she can empty her mind and enjoy a quiet private vacation. She'd tried road trips before, and to be honest, if it weren't for Little Leila's wishes, she would have preferred to leave herself at home, holding tea in one hand and a book in the other, savoring the charm of the words.
The later holidays were also with Roy, and it can't be denied that it was a very happy day, but for her with a relatively high house attribute, it is not as comfortable as being at home no matter how happy she is outside.
So the leisure of the past few days has made her almost a little happy.
She is living comfortably, but the outside world is about to become a pot of porridge because of her disappearance.
As the length of her disappearance increases, people want to know more about her, even if they tell everyone that there are already clues about her. But there was no good news in the media. It is only said that in order to deal with this matter, the presidential office has sent an elite team to assist in the investigation. However, it has been several days, and there has been no feedback back.
Perhaps the best news for now is that Lyra's body has not been found. The absence of a corpse means that she has a good chance of still being alive, and to keep her for so long should be that she has something on her that the other party wants. This means that her life should be safe in a short period of time.
But this is also the most optimistic idea, after all, in a country like South Africa, where there are many no-man's lands, it is too simple to hide the body of a foreigner permanently.
The only way the outside world can stay up to date is through the media, and when the media repeatedly fails to provide enough information, people start to complain about them. It is conceivable that once any media can come up with strong news at this time, it can definitely have a great impact.
In addition, don't forget what the Moran family does, the old man downplayed this matter at the beginning, just to give the White House some time to react, and didn't want to make things worse. However, he now thought that his waiting and patience had become a joke, and that his granddaughter, his most precious heir, had not heard a word after so long.
Roy's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the string called "reason" in the old man's mind was completely broken.
You can't get Leila back, so go find someone who can get her back!
So as soon as the old man turned his head, he got on the line with another Democratic Party that was competing for the presidency.
Give the White House a little time, and they can actually get Leila back, in a gentle way, slowly infiltrate, and then look for an opportunity to rescue people.
But that is just wishful thinking on the part of the White House, and they think very well, and using such a soft way will not have much impact on the relations between the two countries, and will not let the outside world give them another "hegemon" hat. However, they have forgotten one thing, and that is the will and power of the family. In this world where money is the master, the old man Moran, who has huge wealth, has no patience to wait for their gentle drizzle!
Leila is so important to the Moran family, to Hollywood, and even to the United States and the world. Her own influence is too great, and she is not an object that can be slowly drawn at all.
