Kevin sighed deeply. 'Even if I count Luke and his men in, we are still understaffed. The police are still on their way. Oh, God bless us. Please don't let Jessica and Mary meet Hero.' Kevin had put his major security at work on the ambulance in which Daisy was being treated. He was thus, left with no extra men to track down Jessica and Mary. Furthermore, it wouldn't be appropriate to conduct an inch-by-inch search. They were under a fear of ambush and had no idea from where the gangsters might appear all of a sudden. Luckily, they parked their cars in places that were hard to find.
Just as Justin expected, Hero did come back. Though he was aware of some anomalies, he had to come back for Daisy. So, instead of breaking in directly, he sneaked undetected into the house. He was shocked when he saw Jessica and Mary there. He was glad he saw them first. Thank goodness! He could hold the two women as hostages to make his rivals compromise with him. "Cousin Hero, please, take me away." Jessica grabbed Hero's hands forcibly as soon as she met him. She literally abandoned her pride now.
"Relax, Jessica! I came here to pick you up. But who did this to you two? What happened?" Hero wanted to fully understand the situation. He was wondering if he had any chance of winning the upcoming fight.
"Nobody but that bitch Daisy. Someday I will bring her down myself." People like Jessica were rare. She immediately forgot all her pain when she saw the little hope of escaping. Though she was still in danger, she got a little carried away. Now, she wanted to take revenge on Daisy along with Hero.
"Do you really think you still have a chance to hurt Colonel?" Kevin Gu said grimly, pointing his gun at Hero who was standing next to Jessica. Bad luck, Jessica and Mary met Hero.
But, I have a chance." Hero moved so quickly. He immediately grabbed Jessica in front of him. Jessica was nothing but a pawn for him. It would be a shame if he didn't use her now.
"I thought you are her cousin, right? Why are you so cruel to her?" Kevin couldn't believe Hero could hold Jessica in front of him to take a bullet for him. Now, Kevin was hesitant. He didn't know if he should shoot or not. Yes, Jessica was a bad woman. But Kevin was a Major General, a solider. He couldn't shoot at Hero if it meant risking the life of another person.
"I can betray my own blood brother to save my life. She is only my cousin. She means nothing to me." Hero sneered, putting his gun on Jessica. At the same time, his men moved and held Mary as hostage.
"Oh, Cousin Hero, are you kidding?" Jessica couldn't believe the fact that she was held hostage by Hero. When his gun pointed at her, she shook with fear. When Edward caught her, she was scared but with Hero pointing his gun at her she was in extreme fright.
"Please help me!. .... Please, don't kill me, I will never.... run away…" Mary begged for mercy. She was not any better than Jessica. She trembled with fear. She felt great regret for running away. If she didn't listen to Jessica's suggestion, she wouldn't be held hostage like that.
"Okay, you win. Let them go. Do you think, it is right for a hero to hold two women as hostages?" Kevin kept pointing his gun at Hero. He was surprised when he saw so many men following Hero. Surprisingly, they all looked tough.
"Not everyone is alike. As for me, I can do everything to stay alive." Hero seemed unconcerned about any possible snipers. He had pre-planned everything before coming in the house. Even if the worst of the worst happened, both the sides would lose. Since there was an army of men following him, he had every chance to win. If he was accompanied by the guys who kidnapped Daisy, he would have been dead by now.
How can you be so confident that I won't shoot you?" This was the only truth that Kevin wanted to know. Yes, he arranged snipers in the dark, but he dared not command the snipers to shoot.
"I don't have to tell you anything. Obviously you know who I am. So why should I be afraid? I guess you are clever enough to figure out who I am, right?" Hero confronted Kevin arrogantly. He didn't know Kevin was here before he came into the house. Kevin was one of the biggest names in the army base of the S city. Hero needed to be very careful while facing Major General Kevin.
"Yeah, you must have made all the arrangements. That's why you dared to come in even when you knew it was unsafe for you to be here. I am really interested in knowing what brings you back." It was very strange that Hero risked his life to come back here. There must be something or somebody important here.
"Colonel Ouyang, I want to take her away today." Hero was not like one of those vulgar gang bosses. He behaved and spoke in a refined and civil manner. Hero had several hidden talents.
"You want to take her away? Aha, who are you? I wonder how are you so confident?" Edward Mu mocked at Hero as he gracefully came close to Hero. His handsome face looked much more regal in the sunshine. He glanced at Hero contemptuously with his charming sharp eyes and then looked down on him. He pretended to behave with utmost grace and ease. It was strange to see him talking like this to an unscrupulous arms dealer.
"And who are you?" Hero was indifferent about the financial news. The only thing he was concerned about was the government affairs as it had a strong impact on his business. So Hero knew nothing about Edward who was the business mogul of the S city.
"Funny, you don't know who I am but you said you want to take my wife away." Edward's mouth twisted in a contemptuous sneer. This left Hero in a more difficult situation. Hero was stunned.
"What? You are the CEO of the FX International Group, Edward Mu." Hero thought Daisy's husband was only a common businessman who was just a son of a rich, powerful family. But he realized how wrong he was when he saw Edward with his own eyes. Edward was strong and smart. This man was a real king in spirit. Although he admitted to the excellence of Edward, he didn't change his mind to take Daisy away. He knew this was his only chance to have Daisy.
"Yes, you are right. So are you still confident enough to take my wife away?" Moments back, Edward was in the ambulance with Daisy. But after Tom finished treating Daisy's wounds, Edward left Daisy to talk to his sweet son. He heard from Justin about Hero. Justin told him Hero was crazy for Daisy. He bristled with anger, so he came here to see the wretch who dared to kidnap his wife.
"Do you really think you can stop me?" Hero laughed loudly and arrogantly. He didn't want to be defeated by Edward in vigor.
"It doesn't bother me, really. Because Daisy would never go with you." With both his hands inserted in the pocket, Edward raised his eyebrows while he stared at Hero. To tell the truth, Hero was a wonderful guy. Edward admired him for the fact that Hero risked everything for the woman he loved. This made him feel, that they were a bit alike.
"Edward, please help me. I don't want to die…." Jessica begged and stared at Edward pitifully. Even though Edward ignored her, she didn't give up, hoping that Edward would save her for old times' sake. In her mind, Edward loved her before. Edward could not be so cruel to the woman he loved. But obviously she was totally wrong. Edward never really loved her.
