<h4>Chapter 1278: 1278. Auto-delete</h4><h4></h4>


    "It’s still in my phone."


    Elly had been out for an entire afternoon. Her phone had long run out of battery, and that was the reason Adam Jones had been unable to contact her.


    Picking up her phone, which by now had been charged for quite a while,


    she hurriedly turned it on and opened the message inbox, only to be stunned to find that there was nothing there.


    "Impossible, the messages they sent me, I never deleted a single one, how could they be gone."


    Even though Elly’s mind had been a mess at the time, she wouldn’t have been foolish enough to delete the only clues and evidence she had.


    Adam understood as soon as he thought about it.


    "The messages they sent you probably came with an auto-delete virus. As soon as you opened and read them, all the information would have been automatically deleted."


    Adam’s gaze became even more intense.


    "The adversary is extremely meticulous, erasing every bit of information that could potentially lead us to them. If they can hack into the road surveince system, adding an auto-delete virus to the video package they sent you wouldn’t be difficult."


    Hearing this, Elly also furrowed her brows in concern.


    "Then what exactly does the adversary want to do?"


    "Are they just ying this farce to toy with us?"


    There was a hint of annoyance in Elly’s voice.


    Adam remained silent.


    First, they used Elly’s voice to lure the mother-inw out of the hotel and took her away, and she had been unreachable for several days.


    Then suddenly today, they lured Elly to that deserted construction site, only to let here back unharmed.


    Even Adam couldn’t figure out what kind of game the adversary was ying.


    What was their goal? Was it the mother-inw, Elly, or him?


    No matter who their target was, today’s actions were baffling.


    Looking down at the route Elly drew, after a long time, a flicker passed through his eyes.


    "These roads, they don’t have surveince, and almost nobody travels them. If they really made a move on you there, we wouldn’t even be able to find any evidence."


    Elly realized this too after being reminded by Adam.


    But the conversation circled back to the beginning, "Yet the question is, they didn’t do anything to me, what does that mean?"


    Adam also couldn’t understand. Staring at these routes, after a long silence, he said:


    "Could it be..."


    "Could be what?"


    "They simply didn’t want anyone to know you were there?"


    Hearing this, Elly knitted her brows, unable to understand the meaning behind it.


    "They lure me there and then let me return unscathed. What difference does it make whether there is surveince to prove I’ve been there or not?"


    This was also what Adam couldn’t figure out.


    "Forget it, let’s not think about it anymore. Mother has returned, and you’re safe, which is the best oue."


    Adam ced the paper he was holding aside, saying:


    "Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for several bodyguards to protect you all. They won’t have a chance to get close to you."


    Elly nodded.


    No matter how much we think about the adversary’s motives now, we can’te up with anything.


    If the adversary has ill intentions, they will definitely make a move next.


    Jenna rk had only suffered superficial injuries, and after a good night’s rest, she waspletely recovered.


    Jamuna Ford was genuinely terrified this time.


    When Jenna saw him again at the Jones Family house, she noticed that he had be considerably haggard, which made her feel a twinge of guilt.


    "Senpai."


    In the end, Jenna’s disappearance could not be kept from the rk Family elders.
