John took a deep breath, allowing himself to react before taking out a bottle and sprayed the contents
over the number pad of the safe.
The bottle contained a special spray-Sean had prepared it for him, and it would reveal the fingerprints
on the number pad within seconds, identifying the numbers which the passcode consisted of.

Still his first attempt was wrong.
He calmed down and keyed in another combination.
It did not work either.
John's sweat was raining down at that point-he really did not have much time, just as the Lynds could
well show up at the very next second.
He closed his eyes, running the numbers to find anything possibly corresponding to everyone's mobile

"Your safe... Someone opened it."
"Who did?!"
"I don't know, but whoever it was tripped the alarm inside before vanishing.
But I've already sent our people to block the main gates. No one would get in or out!"
‘Well, is there anything missing from the safe?"
Doug quickly checked, and his face fell. "Ma'am... It's the most vital document. It's gone."
"Nana and Lucas just returned today, didn't they?"
"Yeah, but they weren't seen in the cameras-’
"It's Lucas. Get him right now!" Jean immediately singled out her target without thinking!
