Chapter 126
“What? Peggy has been kidnapped?”
Upon hearing Lena’s urgent tone over the phone, Cameron sat upright in bed.
“Who did it?”
“It’s most likely the same group that attacked Ms. Jones this afternoon,” Lena explained.
“The one who kidnapped Peggy appears to be their leader. I discovered this through a tracker 1 planted on PeggY. ”
Before Peggy left the scene earlier that afternoon, Leua had given her a mini tracker to keep in her bag for emergencies. She hadn’t expected it to be put to use so soon. In the dead of night, Peggy was abruptly relocated from the hotel to the suburbs. It was a clear sign of kidnapping.
“So, he has already made his move,”
Cameron’s eyes narrowed. A trace of coldness flickered behind them. He had been pondering on ways to draw the man out, but the man had now shown himself. He seemed to have a death wish.
“Where is he now?” Cameron asked in a deep voice.
“He’s moving toward an abandoned factory in the suburbs,” Lena said while eyeing the red dot on her phone’s tracking signal.
“The signal has stopped!”
“Alright, send me the location. I’m heading there now,” Cameron said.
“Okay. I’m also on my way. Remember, Peggy is with them. Be careful not to startle them. It’s best if you go alone,” Lena cautioned.
Too many people might alert the kidnappers, risking Peggy’s safety.
“Understood,” Cameron replied.
Although Lena was not exceptionally bright in other areas, he thought she showed absolute professionalism when dealing with criminals.
The two of them set out for the suburbs.
Meanwhile, a dim light could be seen on the second floor of a dilapidated factory in the suburban area. A man named Jeff Hancock in a grey vest and black cap stood in the middle of the factory floor. He arranged cold surgical tools on a table–syringes, scalpels, scissors, sutures, and even a sharp saw.
An unconscious Peggy was tied to a concrete pillar behind Jeff. The sound of metal tools being arranged might have stirred her, or perhaps the drug’s effect was wearing off. Peggy’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes to a blur of overlapping images.
Peggy shook her head vigorously. Her vision gradually focused, and she spotted the man who had

kidnapped her from the convenience store. Her gaze trembled sharply. Peggy struggled fiercely but realized she couldn’t move. Glancing down, she saw herself tied to the pillar. Her surroundings were completely unfamiliar to her, suggesting she was in an abandoned factory.
“Ms. Lee, you’re awake.”
Jeff noticed Peggy’s movements and stopped what he was doing to turn and face her.
“Who exactly are you?”
Peggy’s gaze trembled with terror. She could not make out Jeff’s face as his cap’s brim hid it from her
view.
Jeff didn’t answer Peggy, Instead, he just gave her a sinister smile. The curve of his mouth was lustful and chilling.
“What do you want from me?”
Peggy’s voice quivered. Her pale face revealed intense fear when she noticed the surgical tools on the table behind the man.
“What do I want? I want to turn you into my perfect piece of art,” Jeff said, his smile growing thicker under Peggy’s terrified gaze.
He slowly approached her as he intensely scanned her black–stockinged legs with his eyes.
“Stay away from me!” Peggy screamed in horror while her body shuddered uncontrollably.
The more she shivered, the more excited the man became.
He licked his lips and then, under Peggy’s horrified gaze, deeply inhaled near her captivating legs. He wore an expression of extreme lust.
