Fred fixated his attention on Annie. Although she kept denying it, he could tell that she met a terrible feeling within the city. Otherwise, she would not look so sad.
Rain was too occupied to attend to any of his personal endeavors. After he made sure that every wounded person had already been attended to in the hospital, he rushed down to the Western Hill. He came to collect the details before going to the police station to file a report.
Cyrus was nowhere to be found. Not only was Sanford unsuccessful in finding Cyrus, he also had no clues since not even his wife knew his whereabouts. According to Cyrus' wife, he did not go home last night and he had turned off his phone so that no one could get in touch with him. That was why Rain had to handle the accident that Cyrus had caused alone.
"Mr. Xia, I have a hunch that all this is a conspiracy," William spoke out his mind. He felt that it wasn't a coincidence that Cyrus was nowhere to be found. He must have planned his escape.
"I know, but what happened has already happened. Even if there's a trap, I still have to go ahead without hesitation if I want to find out what's on the other side." Rain was no longer a frivolous playboy. He became a responsible CEO who could keep his composure and could stay level headed.
"It's monstrous!" William fumed. "He keeps making things look like your fault. This time, you even have to take the blame for him!" William was disgusted and upset. Everything went smoothly back when they worked at the FX International Group. It was nothing like this. Edward might have been bossy then, but they got along just well with each other.
"It's okay. It's not like I'm easy to defeat." Rain sneered. He knew he was nobody's patsy. He was not as vulnerable as he was a decade ago. He learned his lesson.
"But the police might arrest you," William added.
"Mr. Yi knows what to do." Rain had absolute confidence in this. Even if Mr. Yi did not help him for the sake of Kevin and Daisy, he had to in order to show his respect and gratitude for Edward. Moreover, Rain believed that the police would not do anything to him until they found out who was responsible for the accident.
"How about the media?"
"I have arranged everything for every circumstance. I'll hold a press conference in the afternoon. Please, do prepare for it." It was better for Rain to take initiative than to await his doom so he approached the circumstance.
"Understood, Mr. Xia." William finally broke into a smile. It seemed that his boss already had everything figured out.
It was not until Annie arrived at the airport that she heard about the news regarding the accident that took place. She had not seen Rain for years so she was surprised to know that Rain had become the CEO of the KD Group.
"Annie, isn't he the deputy CEO of the FX International Group? I didn't know he was also the CEO of the KD Group," Fred asked in curiosity. Annie sat still, trying to keep her heart steady. Her eyes were glassy trying to hold back the tears at the sight of Rain.
"I have no idea." Annie was just as confused. There were butterflies dancing around inside her stomach, violently trying to get out.
