After tying her up, the kidnappers removed her blindfold and the cloth wrapped around her mouth. Cindy coughed for a while, "Why did you bring me here!? What did I do for you to abduct me and my child!?", she screamed furiously. The kidnappers didn't reply to her questions and lined up behind her. From the dark, came out around 20 men in black. Cindy gulped in the lump forming in her throat. She took a quick look at everyone and her face got pale when she recognized one of them, "Melissa's father?"
Dylan's lips curled up in a smile, "It's good you recognized my face. I didn't know my daughter would love me so much to show you my picture."
Cindy's face turned cold, she never met him face to face except for the time when she once saw him from a far, with Alex, come out of Melissa's place and in a family photograph that Melissa kept in her drawer. She knew how much he mistreated Melissa because she found her crying when she got to her place right after he left.
Cindy: What is your motive?
Dylan: We have plenty of time to discuss that, what's the hurry? You aren't leaving soon anyway.
Dylan had an evil grin on his face. He looked down at Cindy as if he was looking at an ant.
Dylan glanced at Olivia, "Is that your daughter? She is really cute."
Cindy: Don't you dare go near her!
Dylan made a puppy face, "Why shouldn't I? She is just like my granddaughter. It's astonishing that despite being Melissa's age, you have two 5 years old kids. Talk about being wild."
Cindy glared at him in disgust, " At least I didn't abandon them to fulfill my sexual needs."
Dylan: Hm, your mouth is sharp. No wonder why that bast*rd got his eyes on you and my daughter adores you so much.
Cindy didn't quite know who he was referring to when he said 'Bast*rd', she guessed it was Matthew as he has been chasing her for four years.
Dylan didn't carry out the conversation any further, "Everyone guard this place strictly, whoever comes to save her, make sure they can't get away." He turned on his heels and left.

Meanwhile, Matthew used his people to check the CCTV footage around the airport. Alex looked at the footage closely, his heartached when he saw them dragging Cindy like that. He doubted seeing how easily they got their hands on it, it seemed more like a trap than a trail to Cindy and Olivia. Melissa left for the hotel with Owen, all she could do was pray for them.
Alex thought for a while and opened his mouth, "This video is a trap."
Matthew narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"
Alex continued, "They kept the video on purpose, they're just using Cindy as a bait to lure us away from the actual thing."
Matthew stared and Alex in bewilderment.
Alex looked at Matthew, "What was your main reason to come here?"
Matthew slowly spoke up, "Davis took away my mom few months ago. We've been looking for her everywhere but every evidence led to a dead end. Finally around 10 days ago, I got to know he kept her in Shanghai."
After giving a thought, Alex replied, "your mom is not in Shanghai. He just lured you here and captured Cindy. By the time we'll take back Cindy, he will probably shift Mrs. Smith somewhere else."
