    Scarlett Adler stayed awake, staring at the surveince footage, tirelessly searching for any suspicious

    individuals like a machine.

    Beside her, First and Second were also watching, not daring to miss even the smallest detail, their eyes

    red from exhaustion.

    At this moment, the sky outside was just beginning to lighten, Many crew members were arriving to set up

    scenes for filming, while others were wrapping up, creating a constant flow of people.

    The police station hadn’t called, nor had the director.

    Fourth seemed to have vanished into thin air from the surveince footage, leaving no trace or clue.

    Hugo Hodges knew that the longer this went on, the greater the danger for Fourth.

    Despite feeling like countless ants were gnawing at him inside, he forced himself to stay calm and

    His gut told him that Fourth was still okay, waiting for him.

    Now was not the time to panic; there had to be some detail they were overlooking!

    With this in mind, iHugo /ipushed open the car door and stepped out.

    He needed to find out where the problemy.

    As he opened the door, a cool breeze hit him, instantly clearing his mind. He nced at the people in the

    car but said nothing, closing the door behind him and walking away.

    The three people in the car were focused on theputer, not noticing Hugo’s departure.

    Once outside, Hugo looked around. It was that time of day when night and morning were blending

    together. Although the sky was showing signs of light, visibility was still a bit limited.

    Spotting a 24–hour convenience store nearby, he headed straight for it.

    When he came out, he had a pack of cigarettes in hand. He didn’t know what brand they were, and he

    didn’t care. All he wanted was to smoke and let the nicotine calm his mind.

    After finishing one cigarette, his agitation hadn’t lessened at all.

    As Hugo was about to head back, he overheard two people walking by.

    “Hey, I’ve got a secret. Don’t tell anyone, okay?”

    “What secret?”

    “Yesterday, the lead actor and actress from our shoot…” The voice lowered, “were having an affair behind

    the hill. It was wild!”

    “No way, seriously?”

    “Of course, I saw it with my own eyes!”

    “You saw it? Like a reality show?”

    “Totally. Even though it was dark, the sounds were unmistakable. You know, that actress looks so innocent

    usually, but who knew she could be so wild!”

    “But why behind the hill? Wouldn’t a hotel be better?”

    “The hotel might have people watching, but the back hill is different. It’s dark, no cameras, nothing visible.

    Nobody goes there, not even the paparazzi. Even if someone spots you, it’s easy to hide. Plus, outdoor fun

    is thrilling!”

    “He problem!”

    As they were about to leave, Hugo stepped in front of them, blocking their poth

    The two chatting guys paused, looking at Hugo. His attire screamed wealth, and with that face, be could

    easily be a rising star. After a moment, one of them finally spokei, /ii‘/iDo you need something

    “You mentioned the back hill. Where is it?” Hugo asked

    The two guys looked uneasy, blinking nervously. “I didn’t say anything about a back hill. You must have

    misheard.”

    They tried to brush it off and move on, but Hugo wasn’t letting them go that easily. He stood firm, blocking

    their way.

    They looked quite troubled. “We’re just small time extras, about to start filming…”

    “I’m not here to cause trouble. I just want to know where the back hill is

    The two exchanged nces, unsure if they should reveal the location,

    At that moment, Hugo pulled out his wallet and took out a thick wad of cash. is this enough?

    The people around him were momentarily speechless,

    ‘T’ll say it again, I’m not here to cause trouble. Where’s the back hill? Hugo asked, enunciating each word

    clearly,

    For those working as extras here, it might take months to earn the amount Hugo held in his hand. Their

    expressions changed instantly

    Just go straight from here, and you’ll reach it.”

    “Take me there!” Hugo demanded.

    “Uh, but I’m about to go on set!”

    “Alright then!” Hugo made a move to put the money back.

    Seeing this, the person quickly spoke up, “I’ll take you, I’ll take you!” Then he turned to another person and

    said, “You don’t have any scenes today, right? You go instead!”

    “But…”

    The person whispered something in his ear, and he nodded, “Okay, no problem!”

    After they reached an agreement, the person looked at the money in Hugo’s hand. “Shall we go?”

    Hugo handed him the money directly, and the person happily pocketed it, saying, “Let’s go, boss. This way!”

    He then led the way, walking straight ahead until they reached the spot where Fourth had lost her phone.

    “Just a bit further ahead!”

    “But isn’t there no path ahead?”

    “Yeah, ionce /iiyou /igo out here, it’s straight to the back mountain, no path at all.”

    Hugo’s eyes changed instantly.

    If Fourth disappeared here, and there were no surveince cameras capturing anything, there was only

    one possibility–she was taken ito /ithe back mountain!

    As they walked, the guide continued, “There’s no surveince in the back mountain, and the paths are rough. Many starse here for secret meet–ups because it’s hard to be spotted. I’ve seen quite a few couples myself!”

    Hugo wasn’t interested in his gossip; he asked directly, “Is the back mountain big?”

    “Yes, it’s huge. The terrain is unique and perfect for hiding. People who don’te often can easily get lost. I’ve been around here for over a decade and only just figured it out. Most whoe to the back

    mountain find it hard to get out,” the extra exined.

    Hugo pressed his lips together, following closely behind.

    The guide expertly pulled a shlight from his pocket, “Boss, the path is tricky here, take it slow!”

    Hugo followed him for about ten minutes until they finally reached the back mountain.

    “Boss, this is it!” the guide announced.

    Hugo stepped out, and his view expanded instantly. The filming base seemed to be built right against the

    back mountain, stretching out as far as the eye could see, with no visible boundary.

    Hugo squinted his eyes. If Fourth was indeed here, finding her wouldn’t be an easy task.

    He turned to one of the extras nearby. “Are you familiar with this ce?”

    The extra quickly replied, “I live at the foot of the mountain. I’ve been filming with the crew here for years,

    and I often wander around when I’m free in the evenings, so I’m pretty familiar…”

    Without another word, Hugo pulled out his phone and showed a photo of Fourth. “Have you seen this girl?”
