On the other side, Kevin had been waiting for a long time, but there was still no news of Anne. He was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, circling back and forth.
Emily pulled the hemline of her blouse and looked very nervous, too.
Kevin was so resourceful in A City that he couldn't find Anne. Then where on earth was Anne taken to?
"Is it Kim Li?" Emily said, "After Anne escaped from Kim Li, he was unwilling, so he took the risk to take Anne back."
Kevin's expression changed slightly. He pursed his lips.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Kevin immediately answered the phone, "Mr. Kevin, we have found that they parked their car in an alley, and then changed the car to leave. But, unfortunately, there is no monitoring in that alley, and they..."
"I just want the result!" Kevin said in an arctic cold tone.
On the other end of the line, his assistant's voice weakened, "There is no clue yet."
"Clap..."
The phone was slammed to hang up. Kevin sat on the sofa wearily and looked into the distance. It was late at night after Anne was kidnapped at noon, but there was no news about her yet.
'Anne! Where the hell are you? Who on Earth took you away? Do you know I'm worried about you,' his inner voice cried.
"Dad, will Mom never come back?" Sally asked Kevin cautiously after crying for the whole afternoon as seeing her mother taken away.
Kevin frowned. Eddy pulled Sally and said decisively, "Sally, don't worry. Mom will come back. I promise!"
Looking at Eddy's resolute face, Sally nodded heavily and said, "Eddy, you are right. Mommy loves us so much and will never leave us."
Kevin heaved a sigh and looked at Emily, who understood and immediately took Sally away in her arms.
Sally was too young to stay up whole night with them.
With her eyes wide open, Eddy looked at Kevin. Having lived with Kevin for so long, he knew what his father was thinking about.
"Dad, don't worry. Mom will come back," said Eddy firmly.
Certainly Kevin was worried, but he also believed that Anne would definitely come back. He was here and so were Sally and Eddy. Anne's home was also here. Where else could she go?
However, Kevin rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought. Although Kim Li was bold, he had a hunch that it shouldn't be him this time.
The person must have put a lot of efforts into knowing Anne's whereabouts and doing the successful kidnapping. And who knew about this house?
A face flashed through Kevin's mind, he frowned. Now the most suspicious one was still Selma.
Kevin looked down at his phone and frowned slightly. He had called her once. He hesitated.
"Dad, if you are in a dilemma, you can give the phone to Eddy. I often call Grandma." Eddy stared at Kevin with his eyes wide open.
Without hesitation, Kevin gave the phone to Eddy.
After he dialed the number, Eddy put the phone near his ear. After a long time, the phone was finally connected.
"Kevin Fu, are you done? What time is it now? I'm asleep. Let me tell you..."
"Grandma..."
On the other end of the line, before Selma could vent her anger, she heard a sweet voice. Instantly, she stiffened and held back her anger.
"Eddy, it's you. Why did you call me? You are so heartless. Do you live with your parents? If you forget Grandma, I will be very sad," Selma said kindly.
Eddy frowned. Although Grandma had done a lot of wrong things, she still loved him. He took a deep breath and sobbed, "Grandma, my mom is missing. I'm so sad, so is Sally. She has been crying all the time..."
On the other side, Selma's voice paused for a while, as if she was hesitating and struggling. Finally, she asked, "Eddy? What happened? How could your mom is missing?"
Eddy turned around and looked at Kevin, who nodded. Then he continued to tell Selma what happened. After hearing that, Selma suddenly sneered. "It's such a big world, but no one else was kidnapped. Only Anne Luo was kidnapped. It's really strange."
Kevin frowned and took the phone back from Eddy's hand. "Mother, I just want to ask you one question today. Is the kidnapping related to you?"
Selma snorted and admitted, "Yes, you are right. I kidnapped Anne Luo. I just don't like her. I kidnapped her and I will torture her. What do you think? Do you feel sorry for her? Bring the police here and take your mother to the jail..."
"Clap!"
Kevin hung up the phone and rubbed his forehead with a headache.
On the other side, Eddy kept silent for a while and then asked, "Dad, when will we go to Grandma's house to pick up Mom?"
Kevin lowered his head and met Eddy's expectant eyes. He shook his head helplessly and asked, "How do you know your mother is at Grandma's?"
Eddy looked at him in disappointment. He answered seriously, "Grandma has told us that mommy is with her. She kidnapped Mom."
Kevin had no choice but to hold Eddy in his arms and walked towards Eddy's bedroom. It was obvious that Selma was extremely angry so she said something to annoy them. How could he take it seriously?
Although Eddy was mature, he was still a child and couldn't tell whether it was truth or lie.
"Dad, why don't you say anything? Grandma has admitted it. Mom must be with her. Besides, she said that she wanted to torture Mom, she would definitely beat her up. We can't wait any longer. Let's go now! " Eddy looked at Kevin in confusion, "Dad, aren't you also worried about Mom? Why don't we go now?"
Kevin had no choice but to put Eddy on the bed and said, "Your grandmother said those words out of anger. You can't take them seriously."
After saying that, he turned around and closed the door for Eddy. Eddy was even more confused. Grandma had said that his mother was kidnapped by her. What did his father mean by not taking it seriously? That was the truth!
