Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)
Chapter 315

The sudden ring of the phone in the otherwise quiet study room was startling, almost causing me to drop it in surprise.

By the time I gathered my thoughts, the ringtone had abruptly stopped.

I strained my ears to listen to the sounds outside, everything was dead quiet! I quickly glanced at the screen, the contact that had been flashing was labeled 'A.'

The call only rang a few times before it was cut off.

I was frustrated because I just missed an opportunity! I quickly placed the phone back where it was, and casually rummaged through his bag, but a pin-like object caught my attention.

I reached out and picked up the pin, not much bigger than a quarter, but quite heavy. What drew my attention to it was the beautifully enameled flower on its surface.

And that flower...I hurriedly pulled out the phone again, enlarged the profile picture of AzureEnchantress.

To my surprise, the posture, the lines, the blooming state of the flower, they were completely identical to the flower on the pin.

Holding it in my hand, I admired the pin's fine material, smooth and cool to the touch. The raised petals shone brightly under the light. I turned the pin over to check the back, spotting a number or perhaps a code, '97.'

Could they really be part of an organization?

I snapped pictures of both sides of the pin. Placing everything back where it was, then returned the bag to its hidden nook.

Just as I was about to leave the room, my phone buzzed. It was Logan, I quickly called back, assuming he hung up earlier to avoid waking me.

"Did you find anything?" I asked.

"Yeah, but the results aren't promising," Logan admitted.

"What do you mean?" I pressed.

"The registered owner of the phone is an elderly woman who passed away a year ago!" Logan's words left me chilled to the bone.

"How can that be?" I muttered to myself. It seemed impossible to determine whether this person is male or female.

"The phone received another call earlier, but it was disconnected after two rings," I informed Logan.

"It seems necessary to continue monitoring incoming calls!"

"Then hurry up!" I urged, "I feel like we're always one step behind."

"Without new findings, there can be no new leads. Your discovery tonight is a new lead!" Logan praised.

"Speaking of discoveries, I have another one, wait a sec, I'll send it to you." After telling Logan, I sent him the photos of the pin, "I feel like this could be an organization's insignia?"

"I'll have someone look into it tomorrow!" Logan said seriously, "This pin is interesting!"

"Let me know if you find anything!" I reminded Logan, and asked, "Any news from the search team?"

"Your job right now is to get some sleep!" Logan instructed me, "You're showing promise as an investigator. But your petite frame is a bit worrisome."

His comment made me laugh, "Oh stop it! What's my size got to do with anything?"

"You'd better focus on staying healthy! The real action is about to begin, and it's going to be physically demanding! Are you sure you're up for it?" Logan asked, "Your abduction was unexpected, but it wasn't a coincidence! They were faster than we anticipated!"

"Is it related to Jerome?" I pursued.

"Jerome is just a pawn, who's really behind him is what we're most interested in!" Logan concluded, reassuring me, "Seriously, go get some sleep! You have things to do tomorrow!" "What things?"

"I'll tell you tomorrow!" With that, he hung up.

I held onto my phone, sensing that something was bound to happen tomorrow.
