Late at night, in a noisy bar.
Patrick hardly came to the bar for entertainment after he got married. It was a rare day to go out for a drink with Charles. He came as promised but in a daze.
Chandler arrived first and asked about Peter. "Is there still no news from your brother?"
Thinking of this, Charles immediately gave a distressed expression and shook his head. "No."
"Long before the new year, Peter said he was going on a business trip and would be back on January 1st, but then he called my mother that he couldn't make it to the new year party. Mom scolded him at that time. He once told me helplessly that he needed to help a friend urgently. I asked him who he was, but he didn't say..."
Patrick sat down and heard Charles complaining.
The bartender came up to ask him what he needed with a careful smile. Patrick ordered a red wine and drank it absent-mindedly.
Charles continued, "After that, we didn't call him again. The manager received two messages from him a week later. One said that he had something else to do and would be back after two months. Another said that he transferred the operating rights of a branch to a new shareholder."
At this moment, Patrick asked, "Is the company where Christina works now?"
Peter was the most hardworking and motivated of the four sons of the Shepherd family. He liked to invest in new companies and owned a lot of shares.
Chandler felt weird. "Peter is missing not too long and then he transferred the operation rights. Is it related to that person?"
Crystal also worked in that company, so Chandler paid more attention to her.
Charles sullenly picked up the glass on the table, took a sip of wine, and then scolded, "Damn. He never shows his fucking true face. I can't find out anything."
"The manager said that the man had only been to the company once with documents that Peter had signed and stamped. After that, he had never come again. We couldn't find him even if we had to ask him for something. Last time, it was me who signed the contract of IP&G."
Chandler frowned. "Is there no surveillance camera?"
"The company was reorganizing and all the electricity were cut off back then. The workers were still repairing." Charles was frustrated.
Recently, his mother was no longer in such a hurry to force him to go on a blind date. Instead, she forced him to find Peter quickly. Charles felt a heavy load.
According to the current information, only the new shareholder could know the news about Peter.
"That manager is also a fool. Last time he didn't leave the originals of files that Peter signed personally."
Charles couldn't help but scold, "How dare he tell me that he is Italian? That idiot can't even understand his Italian name. He just said that he looked not that like Italian but like a mixed-race with beautiful features. He is tall and thin with blue eyes..."
Blue eyes.
Hearing this, Patrick was originally in a daze but he subconsciously thought of another man.
"Do you think of someone?"
"My brother mentioned a person who was his friend, so we both likely know him."
Charles was anxious. After all, Peter had been out of contact for almost half a month with his cell phone completely unavailable. The employees who went together with him had already returned to work.
Although Peter had always been a workaholic, and it had happened before that he delayed his return for even half a month because of his business trip, it was really strange this time.
