Hearing what he just said, Linda's hands shook a little bit and the porridge nearly spilt.
"You know have to make porridge?"
Charles Mu glanced at Linda and raised an eyebrow, "I know everything!"
"You must be kidding me. I don't buy it."
Charles Mu shook his head with a sign and said, "Have a heart! I learnt how to make porridge for you, you know!"
"Oh, really?" Linda had another spoon of porridge. She could sense how seriously Charles took this cooking. The thought of how much Charles cared for her made Linda happy from the bottom of her heart...
But she could not smile, for a little movement of her face could make the abrasion hurt...
In order to recover, Linda had no other choice but to follow what Charles told her.
Since Charles Mu was so nice to her, Linda beckoned to him and said, "Fine, I'm going to reward you with a hug."
Charles Mu lifted his eyebrows and took Linda to his arms in a gentle manner so as not to hurt her. Since there were bruises scattering all over her body, a light touch could trigger off the pain.
Nestling against Charles's chest, Linda closed her eyes and smelt him.
She had thought that she would not be able to see him again.
"Well, what about Vincent Zhou?"
"He died."
"What? He died? In the same way as Walker Chen?" Linda felt somewhat confused. Walker Chen killed himself by overdosing on sleeping pills when he was in prison.
"Right, the same way as Walker Chen, Vincent Zhou also committed suicide by overdosing sleeping pills. I should have been more careful. I didn't connect Vincent with Walker Chen. Now I am sure they both worked for the Master Adam."
Charles Mu gently ran his fingers through Linda's hair...
"What a pity! With Vincent Zhou dead, our leads are gone too. We could have interrogated him and found out who the Master Adam really is." Linda shook her head with resignation.
"Never mind. You should focus on getting well so we can hold our wedding."
"I can never feel fully relieved until we find the mastermind behind this. I would always be looking over my shoulders."
"There is always no shortage of enemies. What's two more? I was the one to blame for exposing you to danger this time. I should have been more careful. From now on, Bun will stay right beside you no matter where you go, "
Said Charles determinedly as his eyes blazed with menace. Linda was the one he cherished the most and he will kill whoever tried to hurt her.
"All right, what about May Shen?"
Linda had a bad feeling about her and worried she would committed suicide in the same way as Walker and Vincent.
If May Shen died, their last chance to find Master Adam would be lost. He could lurk everywhere, ready to kidnap Linda again. Linda would never be safe.
"The prison is fully secured and it doesn't allow visitors for the first three months."
"Since May Shen is in jail now, she must have been desperate to find a way to get in contact with the Master Adam. Maybe we could set up a trap by offering her a chance. Besides, Lisa Xia's disappearance is rather odd. She just evaporated into thin air. I guess she is still in SH city and we just need to find her."
Hearing what she just said, Charles Mu nodded at Linda and thought, "How brilliant she is! We are like one mind."
"I have a plan, but it would involve your father. We need his help, " said Charles.
