"So what? Their cooperation has nothing to do with me. I don't care who he is, he should be brought to justice since he has committed a crime. Or is it Edward whom you fear, you think that he would get angry over this?" Daisy fumed. Of course, she knew that Edward's company had recently become Kompass Group's shareholder, but it was not a bilateral or even a friendly cooperation. It all started when Shaun crossed the line and vexed Edward. In doing so, Shaun woke up the sleeping lion and got kicked in the teeth.
"No, no. That is not what I meant! I was just wondering whether you two are acquainted." Mr. Yi explained hastily, with a flattering smile on his face. He immediately straightened his expression and wheeled around to glare at Shaun.
"So you are Mr. Yi? You see, here is an honest and law-abiding man standing in front of you. I'm actually a friend of the Senior Colonel! What happened just now is merely a misunderstanding," Shaun said, raising his hands. He was still in shock, hearing that Daisy was indeed a Senior Colonel. It was not until he saw Mr. Yi and the constables arrive that he realized that the call Daisy made was not a fake one intended only to scare him away.
"Sorry, but since the Senior Colonel called the police, we have to do our duty. Please understand and cooperate. You can still try and defend yourself at the station. But I need to warn you that you'd better not think of getting away with this. It is Edward Mu's wife whom you have offended, and there will be a price to pay. So I suggest that you put away all your unrealistic ideas and come with us," Mr. Yi warned Shaun sharply. It was unclear whether or not he said this only to intimidate Shaun. Possibly, he truly attached great seriousness to this matter. But one thing was clear, Shaun was more angry than frightened as he heard his words. He was alarmed to know that Daisy was Edward's woman. 'That hateful and infuriating Edward!' He loathed him even more now. 'How come he possesses all the best things in the world, including this beauty in front of him?' he wondered.
"What did you just say, Mr. Yi? You mean she is the wife of that bastard? Edward Mu, from FX International Group?" Shaun flared up at Edward's name, not paying attention to his speech. His true nature as an arrogant, rich man was obvious for anyone to see.
"How dare you insult Mr. Mu, you rascal! Now hurry up, unless you want to be tied up and forced out of here!" Mr. Yi snapped, staring at Shaun grimly. He was always polite to the wealthy and powerful people in the city, but he dared not act that way when Daisy was around.
Although Mr. Yi appeared to take her side, Daisy took his words to mean something else. From how he put it, it seemed to her that Edward could do whatever he liked. He was pleased to punish his enemies, and would pay no attention to the law in the process. Daisy feared that Mr. Yi knew the secrets of the Mu family. He wouldn't have spoken like that otherwise. Whatever it was, she would not let down her guard when dealing with this man in the future.
"Senior Colonel, now if you will excuse us, we'd like to take him to the police station," Mr. Yi uttered resolutely, with utmost respect. He noticed Daisy thinking intently when he mentioned Edward, and realized that he should have put his foot in his mouth. Embarrassed, he could think of nothing else to say. What was more, it would be rash to give a response before he figured out the specific reason for her displeasure. Therefore, he decided to take Shaun away at once, in case he further disgruntled her.
