Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 339
“I am not stupid!” Zeenath retorted puffing her cheeks. Shreya’s lips twitched in amus.e.m.e.nt. She couldn’t help but want to tease her some more.
But before Shreya could say anything in reply, her phone buzzed on her table.
“Just a second,” Shreya excused herself.
Shreya frowned making her way to her table. After all, it was past midnight. No one should be calling at this hour. She had already talked to Charan and Akira anyways.
Her frown just deepened when she took the phone…
It had no number. She does not know anyone with a restricted number…
She attended the call and called out confused, “Hello, who is this?”
She could hear haggard breathing on the other end but nobody said anything for a long time. Just when she was about to cut the call, a raspy voice came through, “Shreya… this is me, Abishek!!”
That surprised Shreya… It took a minute to come out of her head as she asked, “What do you want??” After handing him back over to the Bureau, they did not keep in touch. One of her guys did keep a track of him and his safe house… but it was strictly ‘stand-by and observe’ and not ‘participate and annoy’.
So, she did not know what he could possibly want with her.
“It’s… something is not right. The safe house is breached… these guys… there are guys in masks holding me hostage. And they want you to come here… alone!”
Shreya kept quiet. She was not particularly inclined to believe him just yet. Even when he looked trustworthy, she did not trust him. That was a fact.
“I know you don’t care… I wouldn’t have even bothered to call if it was just me… But they got my family… they have kidnapped my daughter and son-in-law… They are the only family I have. So, please… please come here. I cannot lose more than I already have…” Abishek begged.
Shreya’s eyes changed when she heard that. She took her car keys and threw them at Zeenath and walked out of the office.
“Where are you?” Shreya asked quickly making the decision. She did not waste much time after making the decision.
“We sent you the location. You have two hours…” Some other voice told her and the next second the line went dead.
Just as the elevator came to a stop at the lobby, Shreya rushed towards the parking lot.
“You are driving…” She instructed Zeenath as she tapped away in her phone and shared the location.
Zeenath’s phone buzzed and they rushed into Shreya’s car.
“How long it’s going to take to reach there?” Shreya asked as she sat down on the passenger seat.
“About 2 hours if I step on it…” Zeenath said.
“Then step on it!” Shreya instructed and busied herself on the phone.
First, she called everyone in the group for a conference call. It took a while for everyone to join. Shreya did not say anything until everyone joined. Once they did, she did not waste time beating around the bush and got to the point. She first briefly told them about Abishek’s call and what she was doing.
And then she stalked instructions one after the other. She told them exactly what each of them needed to do.
“Zack… Call up our guys who are keeping eyes on Abishek’s safe house… I want to know what is happening in there… he called saying there are hostiles trying to get him killed. I want to know if it is true… But don’t let them approach. Just observe and report back…” She obviously knew that the location Abishek had sent her to come to was actually the last safe house the government had assigned for him.
“Srinivas, try to track down his daughter’s family… I want to know her last whereabouts. I want to know if she was kidnapped.”
“Prithum, try to trace the call that just came to my phone. The number was restricted, so I don’t suppose you are going to have much luck. But give it a try. Also, I have switched on my tracker, keep an eye on where we are going.”
“Akash, organize a team and sneak in and around the safe house… it is imperative they do not find out. I have instructions to come in alone…”
“Adam, organize another team when we have a location on his daughter’s family. I will keep in touch via text if I have anything else…”
She then hung up without giving them the chance to reply. She knew they would do it. But she also knows if she gave them the chance they will all hound her and try to talk her out of this.
“You sure you want to rush to save an asshole who ordered to kill your parents??” Zeenath asked for the first time since they left the office. She got to know what was happening only when she explained it to the guys. Her eyes did not leave the road ahead… nor did she ease her legs from the accelerators for even a second.
Shreya’s car was custom made and the engines can pull faster than the most similar sedans in the market. And also it is easier to maneuver when you know what you are doing. Zeenath obviously had the skill as she smoothly raced through the road efficiently.
“I wouldn’t much bother if it is just him…” Shreya answered straight up.
But when it involves family, she did not want to sit back and do nothing. They were innocent people. Shreya had looked into his daughter. She was just a normal person with a normal life. Even when she might not sacrifice and do anything extravagant, she still wanted to try and put some effort into saving them…
“You are a saint, Shreya…” Zeenath grumbled as she sped through the empty road.
The location was obviously very remote and out of the city. Once they crossed the city limits, there were no other vehicles whatsoever.
There was an eerie stillness on the streets. Their car was the only moving thing for miles. The only lights were the headlights. Both sides of the roads were filled with farm fields. They could see small towns and huts every now and then, but everyone was fast asleep by them. Nobody was outside at that time of the night.
Shreya tapped away in her phones for a long while until she confirmed that Abishek’s safe house was indeed breached and that her daughter and her husband had been missing for a couple of hours now.
