Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 599

Felicia didn't pay attention to Monkey's flattery and only reminded him, "Be careful. Don't draw attention to yourself, and don't let anyone target you."

The force behind these kidnappings was certainly quite influential.

If they were to uncover a lead or make progress in their investigation, and the kidnappers found out, things could get dangerous.

"Don't worry, boss. I'm fast on my feet. Even if they notice me, they won't be able to catch up!" Monkey responded confidently, but there was an unmistakable hint of arrogance in his words. After all, how could someone without skills or capability survive as a mercenary?

Not to mention, he was among the best in their group.

Felicia thought for a moment, then relaxed.

Scarlet, finally catching on, asked an important question, "Boss, if your theory is correct, then… What's their reason to kidnap those women?"

Felicia gave it some serious thought and then shook her head. "I don't know."

But no matter which hypothesis was true, the answer was clear—it couldn't be anything good. The thought of it was terrifying.

They fell into silence, and the two exchanged glances.

After a long pause, Scarlet smiled and said, "Hey, we're being too pessimistic. That's not good. Maybe the person behind this isn't as bold as we think. Perhaps they're scared of being found out and are hiding in the shadows, too afraid to act."

If that were the case, the chances of rescuing the young women would be much higher.

Of course, this was just an optimistic guess.

Felicia nodded, not wanting to dampen the mood. She replied, "Let's hope that's the case."

As they walked along, they followed the stone path that led into a quiet alley. The streetlights on both sides emitted a soft glow, and the surroundings were tranquil, with the occasional sound of the wind rustling through the trees.

After turning a corner, Felicia suddenly stopped.
