Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 1611

Even though she was trying her best to sound calm, her tears kept falling and dropping on Keegan's cheek when she looked at the blood all over him. Keegan could sense her fear and anxiousness. He could even feel her pounding heart.

Keegan wanted to hug her, but his hands were tied behind him. Even the slightest movement caused intense pain in the wound at the back of his head.

He endured the pain and wiped away the tears on Stella's face with his cheek.

"Don't cry. I'm fine. It doesn't hurt at all." he said softly.

Stella cried even more when she heard Keegan say that. He was bleeding profusely, so it was impossible that it did not hurt.

Keegan sighed and said weakly, "Stop crying. They'll notice it when they come back."

These words seemed to work better than his attempt to comfort her earlier, as tears immediately stopped flowing from Stella's eyes. However, she was still overwhelmed, and her shoulders trembled when she tried her best to hold her tears back.

'How did you call the police?" Keegan tried to divert her attention and asked because he thought that Stella was more frightened than he was.

So, Stella told him about how she hid the phone under the seat earlier. Keegan chuckled upon hearing that, and his movement caused him another wave of pain.

"Stay still." Stella's nose twitched. "Do you have any idea what kind of situation we're in right now? How can you still have the mood to laugh?"

Keegan teased her, "I only laughed because I felt lucky to have such a clever and brave girlfriend. It's unbelievable."

Stella would be overjoyed if she heard that some other time, but she could not even bring herself to smile now. Keegan struggled to sit up and said in a low voice, "Bring me the phone. I want to talk to the police."

Then, Stella reached for the phone and handed it to Keegan.

"Hello, have you managed to track our location?" Keegan asked the police, as he glanced outside the window.

The police told Keegan the name of an area.

That area had a very low population, and it was evident that the kidnappers had taken an off-road route. A lot of buildings and roads were not shown on the map, so the police could not track their exact position. However, the police had already dispatched some units to the area and told Keegan to stall the kidnappers for as long as possible.

Keegan replied in a low voice, "This phone's battery is running out, and it may not last until you arrive. I need to hang up now. The kidnappers have left the car to get some food and water, so they're probably not going to kill us. They would most likely lock us up somewhere, but hiding two adults is not going to be an easy task for them.

"They'll either choose a location they're familiar with or somewhere isolated. There is not much going on around us, so they would probably opt for the latter. Please use our current location as the middle point and search for any abandoned factories or residential areas within a 10-mile radius."

The operator was a little surprised upon hearing that. Having worked in this position for so many years, it was extremely rare to encounter someone who could remain so calm in such a dire situation. He was very impressed by Keegan's composure.

The operator wasted no time and told Keegan to keep the phone hidden. Then, he told Keegan that they would replace another way to contact them if the plan had changed.

After hanging up, the operator immediately relayed the information to the police officers.

One of them replied, "We're already on our way. Tell him not to hang up the phone. We can definitely intercept the car before his phone runs out of battery."

The operator then said, "But we're not sure if the kidnappers are armed. What if we alarmed them and they harm the hostages?"

"Don't worry. We've dealt with cases like this countless times. They'll be fine." Based on the police officer's past experiences, he did not think that the kidnappers would do anything rash, as most of the kidnappers he dealt with were very cautious and vigilant. None of them acted in broad daylight and made a big mistake such as allowing the hostage to call the police.

He figured that it might just be some financial or personal disputes that led to this kidnapping. After all, Rivera was famous for its safety, and he had not encountered kidnapping cases for many years. The operator did not press further after hearing how confident the police officer was.
