"When did this happen? Have you searched all the places?" Kevin asked, standing bolt upright. It was obvious that he was very worried.
It has only been half an hour since I lost contact with her. However, before that I was in a meeting. So I wish to know when she left home. I will find it out after I go back home," Edward said as he started the engine and drove away quickly.
"Don't worry, probably she is in a no signal zone. You continue trying to contact her. If there is still no information about her, call me, I will arrange some people to search for her." Hearing that Edward lost contact with her only about half an hour ago, Kevin felt a little relieved. He knew while Daisy was on a mission, it was impossible for people to reach her sometimes even for one or two days. Kevin thought it must be a routine thing. He was used to such situations. Probably Edward was overreacting. Daisy was not an ordinary woman, she was a colonel, it was not easy for others to hurt her.
"Okay, I hope it's really like what you have said. Bye!" Edward didn't feel relieved after talking to Kevin. It was impossible for him to calm down till he saw Daisy and Justin safe and sound with his own eyes.
Today, the sun was shining bright in the S City, but for Edward, it was darkness all around. Things became worse for him, when he heard the bodyguard say that Daisy and Justin left the house at around 10 am this morning. He had never been more scared.
"What happened? Daisy and Justin are still out of reach?" As soon as Cynthia and Jonathan received Luke's call, they weren't in the mood to play any more. They hurriedly rushed back home. When they reached home, they saw Edward's pale face.
"Yes, no news so far. However, I will try to find her at all the possible places. Probably I am a little too worried. And maybe she is just enjoying her lunch somewhere." Edward tried to stay positive in front of his parents. He was reluctant to think that anything bad could happen to Daisy.
"Do you have any clues to look for her? If no, you'd better stay here and think carefully about all the possibilities." Jonathan frowned and took out his cellphone. He walked to the window to make a call.
"Yes, Edward, don't worry too much. You should calmly analyze the situation before you go out and look for her. It will only be a waste of time if you head out looking for her without any clues." Standing beside Edward, Cynthia patted on his shoulder to console him.
"I know, but I can't think of anything. It is impossible for me to stop worrying about them. I can't just sit at home and wait for any news to come." Edward closed his eyes, trying to think of all possibilities. Suddenly, a thought flashed in his head. He hurriedly made a call.
"Hi, this is Brian, who's that?" Just like Edward, Brian too hadn't saved his number. So he was very confused when he picked up the phone. Last night, after he met Paul he was heartbroken. To console himself, he went to the bar to get drunk. Since he drank too much, he was still feeling very dizzy now.
"It's me, Edward. Did Daisy contact you today?" Edward pursed his lips. Two days ago when he tried to contact Brian, he failed to find his number, So, Edward had to reluctantly save his number later. He didn't expect Brian wouldn't save his number either.
Daisy? Why do you ask? What happened to her? Did you do something to upset her?" As soon as he heard Edward's words, Brian jumped out of the bed immediately. He hurriedly ran to the wardrobe to find some clothes to wear. He was very quick in his movement.
"Nothing. I am unable to contact her right now. And I wondered if she was with you." Edward sighed. His hope was shattered again. He was running out of reasons for Daisy to step out of the house with injured feet. He didn't know what to do now.
"How long has it been? Have you been to the places she usually goes to? And what about her close friends? Have you asked them?" Since it was about Daisy, Brian couldn't help but worry. He was so anxious that he finished dressing himself while speaking on the phone.
"Of course, I have done all of these. Since she didn't contact you either, I will call someone else." Edward stared at the ceiling, rather annoyed. If he had known Brian was so verbose, he would not have taken the trouble to call him. He didn't get the answer he wanted, even worse, he only got many questions from Brian.
"Wait!" Brian turned his head and listened carefully. He seemed to have heard his mother's voice from downstairs. Wasn't she still at the Police Station? How come she was back?
"Wait what? Tell me quickly if you have anything to say. I'm not as relaxed as you." Edward frowned. If Brian was not Daisy's brother he would never talk to such a cocky man.
"Be patient. I seem to have heard my Mom's voice from downstairs." Brian said while walking out of his room. He quickly went towards the stairs. His face darkened when he saw his Mom. She was scolding the servants in the house.
"What? Your mother is back? Did Daisy go to the Police Station?" Edward's hope was rekindled at Brian's words. Because he had thought about all the places Daisy might have gone to, but he didn't have the slightest idea that Daisy would go to the Police Office to get Yakira out.
"I'm not sure. One thing is clear that my Mom really is back." Brian returned to his bedroom, he wondered if there was any connection between Daisy's missing and Yakira's release.
What? She's really out? I will call the police to ask what's going on. And if Daisy contacts you, don't forget to inform me. Okay, I'll hang up." Not giving Brian any chance to react, Edward hung up the phone as soon as he finished his words. Then he hurriedly dialed Mr Yi's number. Although he didn't like government officials at all, he didn't mind talking to them sometimes. Moreover, many investment plans of the FX International Group needed social connection with government officials.
"Shit!" Realizing Edward hung up on him, Brian felt very angry. He threw his cellphone in anger. The cellphone made a curving line in the air and fell flat on his bed. He directly went to the wash room.
Before confirming that Daisy was okay, he just couldn't sit back and look unconcerned. He was anxious to know more details.
Hello, Mr. Mu. I feel honored to receive your call. What makes you suddenly call me?" Mr Yi laughed and flattered with courtesy. He found Edward and Daisy to be a very interesting couple. Colonel Ouyang called him about an hour ago, he didn't expect that Mr. Mu would also call him today. He wondered what made him so important to them all of a sudden?
Mr. Yi, sorry to disturb you. I only want to ask you if my wife came to your office today." Edward was his most humble self with people. So he had always been very polite in the manner of dealing with people. He never behaved pretentiously.
No, but she called me an hour ago to release Mrs. Ouyang. Is there anything wrong?" Mr. Yi was confused. He didn't know why Edward would ask about Daisy.
"What? When did she call you? At what time?" Edward didn't feel relieved. On the contrary, he felt that the situation was more serious than he thought. On a regular basis, she would not take the initiative to ask him to release Yakira. He knew she would rather keep Yakira there for a long time. How could it be possible for her to ask Mr. Yi to release Yakira in advance? This would be possible only when she was being threatened by someone. But who would threaten her?
At about half past eleven. I was about to get off work early to handle some private affair. I cancelled that because she called then. Mr. Mu, is Colonel Ouyang all right? Mr. Yi asked cautiously. He knew something was amiss. He suddenly became very nervous. As the police chief of the S City, if something bad happened to Colonel Ouyang, he couldn't get out of it.
Yes! She is suddenly out of reach. I dont know if it is related to her sudden request of releasing Yakira. No matter what I hope the police can help me to locate her position as soon as possible.
