"Mr. Mu, are you alright?" Luke helped Edward keep his calm. The messy cafe suggested that there was a fierce fight here. Unfortunately, they still didn't know if Daisy and Justin were fine or not. Luke could see how sad and anxious Edward was.
"I'm fine. Have you got any news? What is Paul doing?" Edward closed his eyes, trying to get rid of the darkness surrounding him. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't overcome the fear gripping him.
Not yet. Paul went straight to the casino after meeting Brian last night. Maybe he is living a fond dream of getting rich overnight there." This is what all gamblers think. They are obsessed with some wild ideas that they may get rich overnight. However, they hardly realize that despite the hopes that gambling brings to them, it'll not take long for it to give them a fatal blow and make them penniless one day. In many cases, gambling is also known to bring death and destruction to people.
"What? He met Brian last night? So Brian has known the whole truth?" Edward heaved a sigh. Daisy tried hard to protect Brian by keeping the truth a secret from him. Sadly, he found it all out.
Yes. He went to the bar last night and got massively drunk. Our bodyguard had to send him back at last." The bodyguards who were sent to keep an eye on the movements of Paul told Luke about the meeting between Paul and Brian. Luke was afraid that Brian might do something extreme after knowing the truth, so he asked one of the bodyguards to follow him.
"Well done. Thanks." Brian was the only person in the Ouyang family that Daisy genuinely cared about. Edward disliked Brian. Sometimes Brian got him so annoyed that he would want to beat him to a pulp, but he never did that solely for Daisy's sake. Instead, he hoped for Brian's safety. If anything untoward happened to Brian, Daisy would be devastated. Edward could bear anything but Daisy's tears.
"Mr. Mu, I think Colonel Ouyang must have left under duress. According to all the signs of the fight here, Colonel Ouyang was definitely outnumbered. This may be one of the reasons why she could be controlled despite being so powerful. As for whether or not she was drugged, we need to do a test to find that out." With worry, Mr. Yi gave Edward the first-hand information he got in detail. Edward looked awful.
"What? Mr. Yi, you mean Daisy might be drugged? The cafe may be equipped with cameras. You have to check the cameras. Even if there are no cameras here, there must be traffic cameras on the road outside. You may be able to find out some clues from there."
Edward didn't dare to think about this matter any further. He tried hard to calm himself down. He worked out all the possibilities of finding his wife and son. Now they needed a good husband and good father who could save them from danger. They didn't want any incompetent man who would only go on blaming himself without doing anything for them.
"We have already started checking the cameras. I believe that the results will come soon. God blesses the good people. Colonel Ouyang and your son will be fine. Don't worry too much. We will try our best to bring them home at the earliest."
Unlike the family members of the other high-ranking officials and magnates who would get all hysterical when they were kidnapped or missing, Edward was rather calm and sagacious. This quite surprised Mr. Yi. Instead of yelling at him, Edward calmly gave advice to him. Edward's strong leadership enabled him to run the FX International Group perfectly.
I hope so. Sorry, I have to answer the phone." Edward wouldn't plan for the worst unless he had to. He murmured to himself, 'Daisy, Justin, wait for me. I'll try every means to save you. I promise no one can hurt you.'
Hello. It's me. Just tell me the results." It was a call from the technical department of the FX International Group. Edward was eager to know who Daisy met in this cafe. Actually, when he got to know that Yakira was released, he did have a vague answer to this question. But he didn't believe that Yakira would dare to do that.
What? Are you sure?" After hearing what the caller said, Edward knitted his brows.He had guessed it right. He continued, "Okay. Thank you."
"Mr. Mu, they have got the answer, right?" Luke learned from Edward's sulky face that the technical department must have figured out something. He began to get nervous.
"Yes. Let's go to a place." Edward then left the cafe, ignoring Kevin and the others. At the door, he saw his parents rush over.
Edward, have you found anything?" Cynthia grabbed Edward's wrist and asked in a concerned voice.
Go ask the police. I have to leave." Edward wriggled free from Cynthia's hands and rushed to his car.
"Luke, where are you going?" Cynthia was flustered as Edward and Luke were leaving so hurriedly. She turned to ask Luke who was following Edward closely, hoping that he could tell her what was happening.
"I have no idea. But mom, don't worry. I'll give you a call soon." Luke didn't know where Edward was going. He got in his car in a hurry and went ahead with Edward.
"Look! They left again!" Cynthia pouted angrily and glanced at Jonathan. Jonathan was to blame. If he had driven faster, they could have arrived before Edward and Luke left. Then Cynthia wouldn't be so worried.
Don't worry. They'll come back soon. Do you forget the last trump card we have? The Mayfly has a vast array of contacts. They'll find Daisy and Justin soon. Let's go home. We don't have to wait too long before we get the news." Jonathan wasn't worried at all, because he was quite sure that Daisy wasn't a coward.
Edward drove all the way to Leo's home. Instead of ringing the doorbell, he pounded at the door in a violent rage.
"Mr. Mu, Leo and his family are involved in this?" Luke followed Edward closely. He was suddenly enlightened after they reached the destination.
"Yes. The last call Daisy made was to Mr. Yi. But before that, Mary called her. Mary must have been behind all this."
"Mr. Mu, what brings you here?" The steward was quite surprised to see Edward standing in the doorway. He didn't know why Edward came back again. He knew there might be some trouble following soon. He wondered if Edward would stir up another trouble today. The steward regretted answering the door hurriedly without checking via the camera who was knocking. He was scared that Yakira might scold him for this. As a result, he broke out in cold sweat with fear as soon as he saw Edward.
"I want to meet Mary." Edward went straight in with a wild look. He thought there must be a hidden story behind Yakira's release.
"Yo ho! Mr. Mu, you finally are thinking about my daughter Mary? You came here for her?" Yakira came out upon hearing the noise and taunted Edward at the sight of him.
"Tell me. Where is Mary?" With a malicious look, Edward went straight up to Yakira and grabbed her by the neck. Yakira didn't expect that. The arrogant look on her face vanished and she instantly turned pale.
"I… I… I have no idea." Yakira looked at the angry man in front of her with eyes wide open.
You have no idea why you were released so quickly? Edward further tightened his grasp on her neck. He was so furious that he might just wring her neck the next minute.
