“Thank you, Mister!” Chandler likes Daniel even more.
This Mister is handsome and cool. What’s more, he looks like him. There must be a relationship between my father and this Mister!
Lily pulls Chandler to her side instantly and says in a low voice, “When you get into the supermarket, you find a chance to run away.”
“Can’t I just stay?” Chandler feels upset, “I like this Mister. And I like talking to him. What if he is my father’s brother?”
“...”
‘No, he is your father.’
“Even if you are really related, now is not a good time.” Now that things get so bad between Stella and Daniel, if Daniel knows the truth about Chandler, their relationship would even worsen, which would make her a sinner.
Lily purses her lips, “Chandler, whatever you mother does, she has her own reason. And you promised her that you wouldn’t be recognized outside. Did you forget?”
Chandler’s eyes darken and he says unhappily, “Yes, I remember.”
Though he is still a little boy, he has a mature mind. He is smart enough to know that whatever his mummy does is for his best. It is just that he likes this Mister so much.
Moreover, even though mummy has to marry President Smith for some unspeakable reason, he doesn’t like it.
“Good boy.” Lily strokes his hair.
The green light is on. When Lily is about to take Chandler across the road, a man comes out of nowhere. Beside Lily stands a woman in blue. The man has the woman under control in several seconds. A shiny fruit knife is held against the woman’s neck.
Touched by the ice-cold knife, the woman is in such a great shock that her legs go limp and she can’t even make a scream. Lily and Chandler who stand beside her are quickly pulled to the safe zone by Daniel.
After taking in what just happened, people around all scream and run away immediately.
“Do you have a million?” The abductor asks the woman in a scary voice. The knife sinks into her skin and blood comes out.
“I, I don’t have a million. Don’t, don’t kill me.” Close to urinary incontinence, the woman answers while trembling, “I can give you everything I have.”
“How much do you have?”
“2…200 thousand...”
“Damn, it’s not enough!” The man curses and swears. Then the knife keeps sinking into her skin. The man says, “How about your friends? Call them and ask them for money!”
Seeing some people around are secretly making phone calls, he roars instantly, “Fuck away you all! If someone dares to call the police, we will die together!”
He unzips his coat and shows the several bombs fastened to his waist. If the bombs go off, the consequence is beyond imagination. People who were looking on now all begin running without looking back.
“Chandler, come here.” Lily keeps pulling Chandler backward.
She is a kind person and wants to help too. But she doesn’t have the capabilities. At this critical moment, she definitely won’t do anything stupid. Besides, she has already sent a text to 911 discreetly. Police will be here in several minutes.
But Chandler breaks loose and says, “Sis, trust me. I will be fine.”
“You——”
Before Lily can say anything, Chandler has already wormed out of her arms. Controlled by the thug, the woman keeps making phone calls while crying and begging the man to show her mercy.
“Mister, you just want money.” Chandler says to the thug, “You see, the auntie is so afraid that she cries. Her phone calls can’t get through neither. It’s a waste of time. How about you replace the auntie with me. When you get the money, you will let me go. I believe that you are a man of his word, right?”
Seeing it is a little boy, the thug doesn’t feel threatened. Besides, the woman can’t make a damn phone call in such a long time, which makes his patience wear thin. He says, “Okay, come here!”
Chandler walks to him slowly.
Lily is so worried and wants to help Chandler. But Daniel stops her and says in an unexpected calm voice, “Stay here and don’t move.”
His eyes are fixated on Chandler, burning with fire.
When Chandler passed him just now, he touched his hand back and poked a little bit. It was a code.
He knows what it is.
Chandler nods his head and says proudly, “Mummy finds me the teacher. And he is also my father’s friend.”
A smile appears on Daniel’s indifferent face. But he feels somewhat upset on the inside.
He doesn’t know why.
Lily watches the whole process from the safe zone. Her jaw is about to fall on the ground.
It never occurred to her that Chandler would play such a risky trick to bring down the thug. He looks so little but his explosiveness is shocking. He directly broke the man’s wrist.
Especially when Daniel and him worked together at the last minute, they are perfect match for each other.
No wonder they are father and son!
Soon the police cars come. Lily, Chandler and Daniel are briefly interviewed. Then the police cuff the man and take him away.
The woman is so grateful to Chandler that she wants to give him 10 grands.
Daniel scolds Chandler with a cold face, “The thug is apparently an amateur and doesn’t have much experience. That’s why he didn’t do anything to you. The truly ferocious thugs won’t even let kids get away.”
“If you are encountered with such things in the future, never do it again. If you must do it, you can’t fail. You must try your best, or it will be you who dies.”
“Yes, I will listen to you, Mister.” Chandler is good kid and listens to Daniel carefully.
After Daniel finishes scolding him, Chandler curiously asks Daniel about what a true thug looks like and how to deal with a true thug. Daniel answers every question from Chandler in detail.
The father and son keep walking and chatting, totally ignoring Lily. She is even left behind by them.
Lily sighs on the inside.
After all, they are father and son. What can she do about it? What worries her now is only the news. She assumes Stella has already watched it.
What should she do now!?
