Next morning.
In the Henderson family's courtyard, an old man and a young man were playing chess face to face.
"Check."
Leo moved one horse to capture a soldier of opponent, took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
Looking at the chess game in which he had nothing else but the Queen, William sighed helplessly. He could only move it.
Leo was not in a hurry. He moved his Rook horizontally and said, "Check."
A Knight was in front of a Rook. The Queen would be definitely checkmated.
William admitted defeat, "I lost."
"One more round."
Leo was in high spirits, but William waved his hand repeatedly and said, "No, I will lose again."
Early in the morning, Leo came to play chess with William in the Henderson's villa.
William boasted that he was good at chess and agreed to it. As a result, he lost three rounds in succession.
He looked at Leo in confusion and asked, "Leo, I haven't seen you for a few years. How did you become so good at chess?"
Leo smiled and did not speak.
Leading the troops to fight for the country was depended on military force for 30% and strategy for 70%.
As the God of War in the army, he had never been defeated, let alone the chess game.
William stood up with a smile and thanked Leo, “Leo, thank you for chatting with me these days to relieve my boredom."
Leo waved his hand with a smile and said, "Dad, if you like it, I will come to chat and play chess with you every day. I have to thank them for returning to parents' home. Otherwise, they will definitely drive me out with a broom when they see me."
Upon hearing this, William helplessly sighed: "It's OK for me to live alone. But the company was smashed and the workers were driven away, I am afraid that the company will not able to re-open in a short period of time."
Leo remained calm and even smiled. "Dad, don't worry. I'll take care of it."
"You?"
William looked at Leo in surprise, then shook his head and said, "Little Leo, I know your friends are very powerful, but I can't rely on them every time. Besides, this time, the problem is not money, but manpower. How can I have time to recruit so many workers in a short time?"
Leo smiled and was about to speak. Suddenly, the phone rang.
William was surprised. Who would call so early?
But he still went to answer the phone. "Hello, who is it?"
"Are you William, Rebecca's husband, and Caroline's father?" A man's cold voice came from it.
William immediately realized that something had happened to Rebecca and Caroline. His tone immediately became anxious, "Who are you?"
"I'm from the police office. Your wife and daughter, and Patricia, Marla Ford, Samuel Ford... are all arrested." The man gave a series of names.
"What?! They were arrested?"
William asked loudly.
However, Leo smiled and was not surprised by the result at all.
"What crime did they commit?"
"We suspect that they have something to do with an organized and premeditated incident of deliberately destroying other people's company. You are also involved, don't you know?"
Upon hearing this, William's expression also changed drastically, "Officer, could it be that you suspect that they were behind this?!"
"Yes, they have all confessed after the interrogation last night. Come here quickly."
After hanging up the phone, William's face became extremely awkward. He looked back at Leo and said, "Something happened to Rebecca and Caroline."
Leo knew what was going on, but he still asked, "What happened?"
William sighed and said, "They were the ones who sent people to destroy the Virgil Corporation."
Leo looked at William indifferently and meaningfully. "Dad, what do you want to do?"
He respected William's decision.
After a long silence, William said, "I believe they must be too angry, so they lost their mind. After all, they are my wife and daughter and relatives..."
Leo nodded with a smile. "Since you have decided, I will go with you."
"Okay."
William looked at him gratefully. The two of them quickly rushed to the police office.
Half an hour later, they saw Rebecca, Caroline, and others who had been here for three days.
They sat behind the window with disheveled hair and pale faces, looked glassy-eyed. There were more or less scars and bruises on their faces which were caused by the interrogation.
Nadine had told her men to "order dishes" if it was necessary.
"Order dishes" was called by the insiders. That actually meant cruel torture.
"Rebecca, Caroline."
