"Mr. Mu, are you alright?" Luke helped Edward keep his calm. The messy cafe suggested that there was a fierce fight here. Unfortunately, they still didn't know if Daisy and Justin were fine or not. Luke could see how sad and anxious Edward was.
"I'm fine. Have you got any news? What is Paul doing?" Edward closed his eyes, trying to get rid of the darkness surrounding him. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't overcome the fear gripping him.
"Not yet. Paul went straight to the casino after meeting Brian last night. Maybe he is living a fond dream of getting rich overnight there." This is what all gamblers think. They are obsessed with some wild ideas that they may get rich overnight. However, they hardly realize that despite the hopes that gambling brings to them, it'll not take long for it to give them a fatal blow and make them penniless one day. In many cases, gambling is also known to bring death and destruction to people.
"What? He met Brian last night? So Brian has known the whole truth?" Edward heaved a sigh. Daisy tried hard to protect Brian by keeping the truth a secret from him. Sadly, he found it all out.
"Yes. He went to the bar last night and got massively drunk. Our bodyguard had to send him back at last." The bodyguards who were sent to keep an eye on the movements of Paul told Luke about the meeting between Paul and Brian. Luke was afraid that Brian might do something extreme after knowing the truth, so he asked one of the bodyguards to follow him.
"Well done. Thanks." Brian was the only person in the Ouyang family that Daisy genuinely cared about. Edward disliked Brian. Sometimes Brian got him so annoyed that he would want to beat him to a pulp, but he never did that solely for Daisy's sake. Instead, he hoped for Brian's safety. If anything untoward happened to Brian, Daisy would be devastated. Edward could bear anything but Daisy's tears.
"Mr. Mu, I think Colonel Ouyang must have left under duress. According to all the signs of the fight here, Colonel Ouyang was definitely outnumbered. This may be one of the reasons why she could be controlled despite being so powerful. As for whether or not she was drugged, we need to do a test to find that out." With worry, Mr. Yi gave Edward the first-hand information he got in detail. Edward looked awful.
"What? Mr. Yi, you mean Daisy might be drugged? The cafe may be equipped with cameras. You have to check the cameras. Even if there are no cameras here, there must be traffic cameras on the road outside. You may be able to find out some clues from there."
Edward didn't dare to think about this matter any further. He tried hard to calm himself down. He worked out all the possibilities of finding his wife and son. Now they needed a good husband and good father who could save them from danger. They didn't want any incompetent man who would only go on blaming himself without doing anything for them.
"We have already started checking the cameras. I believe that the results will come soon. God blesses the good people. Colonel Ouyang and your son will be fine. Don't worry too much. We will try our best to bring them home at the earliest."
Unlike the family members of the other high-ranking officials and magnates who would get all hysterical when they were kidnapped or missing, Edward was rather calm and sagacious. This quite surprised Mr. Yi. Instead of yelling at him, Edward calmly gave advice to him. Edward's strong leadership enabled him to run the FX International Group perfectly.
"I hope so. Sorry, I have to answer the phone." Edward wouldn't plan for the worst unless he had to. He murmured to himself, 'Daisy, Justin, wait for me. I'll try every means to save you. I promise no one can hurt you.'
"Hello. It's me. Just tell me the results." It was a call from the technical department of the FX International Group. Edward was eager to know who Daisy met in this cafe. Actually, when he got to know that Yakira was released, he did have a vague answer to this question. But he didn't believe that Yakira would dare to do that.
"What? Are you sure?" After hearing what the caller said, Edward knitted his brows. He had guessed it right. He continued, "Okay. Thank you."
"Mr. Mu, they have got the answer, right?" Luke learned from Edward's sulky face that the technical department must have figured out something. He began to get nervous.
