Edgar drove to the hospital. This time he was told that the Xia family had left the hospital and no one knew where they went.
Sitting in the car, watching a large influx of people walking on the street, Edgar was absorbed in thought.
How could they just disappear? There must be someone behind this!
Was it Mr. Shen or Mr. Brian Long?
Suddenly something occurred to his mind! He started the car and after a sharp turn, the car ran towards the government building.

In the villa, Brian was standing by the window watching outside with his hands in his pockets. The snow outside had almost melted away with only a little left on the ground.
Upstairs, the doctor had been dressing Molly's wounds for the last several hours.
Her cuts weren't big but were hard to clean and the fragments of rusted iron had mixed with her flesh which could have gone septic.
Brian got slightly worried as time went by, and his face gradually turned gloomy.
A red roadster drifted into a parking lot and stopped steadily. Eric got out of the car and walked hurriedly inside the villa.
The moment he stepped in, he was overwhelmed by the depressing atmosphere. Seeing Brian by the window, he walked up to him and asked, "Brian, what's wrong?"
"Nothing!" Brian replied. As he turned around, his face was marked by a cold, weird smile.
"How is Little Molly?" Eric asked with concern in his voice.
Brian walked to the bar table, and opened a bottle of wine. "You care about her?" he asked as he poured a glass.
"Just asking", Eric replied with a smile, as he took the glass from Brian and took a tiny sip.
Brian merely stared at the swirling red wine in his glass.
He had no tolerance for people who hurt his woman. It was time to pay back for what they had done!
Brian's eyes squinted as he imagined his upcoming revenge. He took a sip of his wine, cherishing the sweet and sour flavor.
Eric stared at him. He had never seen him like this before.
As the evening came, Molly groaned in agony and moved slightly in bed. Knitting her brows, she slowly opened her eyes.
Brian's stern and handsome face was in front of her. She was slightly startled to see him and bit her lips as she looked at him without blinking for a second.
