The second mission had temporarily come to an end.

On the return journey, Lauren told Franklin about the aunt she met at the amusement park.

“I want to help that poor aunt find her daughter Lily! Brother, can you help me?”

“You’re just a child, why do you care so much? You have to help everyone. Do you really think you’re the savior?”

“That’s right. Lauren is the savior. Wasn’t Franklin saved by Lauren?”

“I…” Franklin’s mind raced, but he could not think of anything to refute her words.

If it were not for Lauren, he might not have been able to escape this calamity.

Lauren thought that Franklin would not agree and continued to act coquettishly, “Lily is so pitiful without her mother. Children should grow up happily with their parents.”

Hearing this, Franklin’s heart tightened.

Lauren grew up without her parents or even relatives.

Was she happy? She was jumping up and down every day. She should be quite happy.

She would shout when she was hungry, laugh when she was happy, and act coquettishly when she was unhappy. She should still be a healthy child.

“Alright, since you saved me once, I’ll help you once. How?”

Franklin was already prepared to use his intelligence to subdue Lauren, but her next sentence was, “We want to get the surveillance footage from the police.”

‘I thought you had taken a liking to my brain, but I didn’t expect you to only take a liking to my relationship.’.

“When auntie called the police, the police said that there was nothing unusual about the surveillance footage. But I kept feeling that there must be something fishy going on. Why would that little girl leave on her own for no reason?”

“I’ll make a call and ask Ben to go to the police station later to get it directly.”

“Alright, I’ll go get it after I drop you off at the Torres residence.” Ben had yet to come out from the “ghost story” earlier, and his voice was still nasal.

When they returned to the Torres residence, it was already nearly four o’clock in the afternoon. The car had just parked outside the Torres residence when Lauren quickly opened the car door and got out. As she looked for Mr. Hayes, she shouted,

“Grandpa Hayes, Lauren is hungry! Lauren wants to eat meat!”

Just as she was about to run into the main door, Lauren’s head was blocked by a hand.
