CHAPTER 871: CHAPTER 871: THE MOST HONORED MAN IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY (1)

She curiously unfolded the paper airplane and saw a few lines of beautiful, neat handwriting.

"I have been kidnapped. I don’t know where I am. I only know I’m near the XX supermarket on XX street. This is definitely not a prank. Whoever you are, please call my dad immediately when you see this airplane. He will be extremely grateful to you. Thank you for your help."

Behind was a string of numbers, which were Huangfu Jue’s phone number.

The young mother looked at the airplane and then glanced around before hesitating for a few seconds. Finally, she took out her mobile phone from her bag and dialed the number on it.

Maybe this was just a prank, but in case it was true, a phone call could save a child’s life.

The call went through, and it was a real number, not some meaningless digits.

A moment later, a man’s voice sounded on the other end of the line—pleasant, mid-range, and slightly tired.

"Hello?"

"Hi, sorry to bother you. I wanted to ask, are you a child’s father?"

The man’s voice filled with excitement instantly, "Why do you ask that?"

"I...I found a paper airplane, and there is a plea for help on it, saying they’ve been kidnapped..."

"Where are they, what does the paper say..." The man took a deep breath, his voice regaining some calmness, "Where are you, answer me!"

The voice carried an undeniable command.

For some reason, the young mother felt compelled to obey and immediately reported her location, "I am on the roadside near the Fifth Avenue Crossroad..."

"Don’t move from there, I’ll be right over! Do you hear me?"

"Oh...okay!"

In less than twenty minutes, a convoy rushed to the vicinity. The young mother, somewhat surprised, turned her face to see a man pushing open the door of an extended vehicle and sprinting towards her.

Behind the man, there were numerous assistants and bodyguards, but she paid them no attention because the man in the lead was someone she recognized.

He was the future King of this country—the most revered man in the nation, whom she had only seen on television and in newspapers before, the Duke.

The young mother could hardly believe her eyes, but Huangfu Jue had already rushed up to her, taking the paper airplane from her hand and quickly unfurling it to take a look.

"D...Duke..."

"Which direction?"

Huangfu Jue asked.

The man’s thinking was too fast, and the young mother couldn’t react in time, "You...you said what..."

Frowning at her expression, Huangfu Jue turned to look at Charlie.

"Use this location as the center, search the area within a two-kilometer radius thoroughly. Notify the surveillance center to pull up footage from all the surveillance equipment around here to track the paper airplane’s path. Also..." Huangfu Jue frowned, pulling out a hair from his head to measure wind direction and wind speed. His gaze then fell on the high-rise buildings across the street, "Focus on searching this area. Be extra careful, and do not alert the enemy!"

"Yes, sir!" Charlie immediately motioned to several assistants behind him, who promptly conveyed Huangfu Jue’s orders in all directions.

At this moment, Huangfu Jue turned his face back to the young mother, asking, "From which direction did the airplane fly over?"
