For Leo, Bruno had deep concerns from the bottom of his heart.
There was no way around it; every attempt against Leo and Sophia had ended in failure, casting a shadow over Bruno’s mind.
Although Sophia had been successfully captured now, Leo remained a significant threat, a haunting concern for Bruno.
To ensure things went smoothly, Bruno decided to deal with Leo first. Before resolving the issue with Leo, even if they had captured Sophia, they couldn’t harm her. In case Leo, that useless guy, turned things around, there was still hope without harming Sophia.
If Sophia were harmed, especially if Patrick ruined her innocence, Leo would probably kill Bruno without mercy, and Bruno was well aware of this.
Bruno wasn’t stupid; he deeply understood that Leo was no longer the son-in-law of the Henley family that could be easily bullied. At the same time, Bruno also realized that Leo’s threat to his stable position as chairman was greater than Sophia’s.
Cloud Dream Mountain, Villa No. 9.
Leo returned home with thoughts of Sophia. When Leo took out his keys to open the door, expecting to see Sophia’s smiling face, the living room was cold and empty. Hearing someone entering, Nora walked out of the kitchen and instinctively shouted, “Sophia, you…”
Nora’s words weren’t finished because she saw that it wasn’t Sophia who had returned but Leo.
“Mr. Bloomer, you’re back from your business trip?” Nora’s face showed joy.
Except for Sophia, no one in the house knew that Leo had gone to the Northern Desolation Mountains, and Nora thought Leo had just gone on a regular business trip.
“Nora, isn’t Sophia at home?” Leo asked.
“Sophia went out around noon. It seems she went shopping with her friend Karen,” Nora said after thinking for a moment.
Leo nodded and took out his phone, wanting to call Sophia to let her know he was back.
The phone’s screen didn’t light up, and Leo realized the phone had run out of battery and shut down automatically.
Leo found a charger, plugged it in, and turned on the phone.
When the phone opened and entered the system, it kept vibrating and emitting message alert sounds.
Leo couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, then opened the messages.
Almost all the messages were from Karen, and the content of the messages was the same: Sophia was in trouble.
Leo’s face suddenly became extremely unpleasant, and an overwhelming killing intent emanated from him.
Feeling Leo’s abnormality, Nora’s heart tightened, and she quickly asked, “Mr. Bloomer, what happened?”
“Sophia has been kidnapped,” Leo controlled the anger in his heart as he said in a low voice.
“Ah…” Nora obviously didn’t expect such a thing to happen, and her face became panicked for a while. “How could this happen to Sophia… Let’s call the police quickly!”
“No need to call the police. I will bring Sophia back safely!” A fierce gleam flashed in Leo’s eyes.
Sophia had been kidnapped more than once, and in such situations, it was crucial to stay calm and find a solution to locate her as quickly as possible.
Leo dialed Karen’s number directly. When she answered, Karen was on the verge of tears, “Leo, where have you been? Do you know what happened to Sophia…”
“Tell me in detail who took Sophia and what happened at that time,” Leo said calmly and solemnly.
Karen quickly explained that she and Sophia had arranged to meet at Hang Lung Plaza, and she witnessed Sophia being taken by a person dressed as a clown and driven away in a van.
“Okay, I got it. For now, I’ll let you know once I find Sophia,” Leo said before ending the call.
Leo then called Sophia’s phone, and as expected, the response was, “The user you dialed has turned off…”
From this, Leo deduced that the person who kidnapped Sophia wasn’t doing it for ransom. He then contacted Bob.
“Leo, you’re back in Langstel?” Bob’s low voice came through the phone.
“I just got back,” Leo replied.
“I’m really sorry; I couldn’t ensure your wife’s safety,” Bob apologized.
“There’s no need to talk about that between us. Since it has happened, the most urgent thing now is to find her,” Leo’s tone sounded very calm.
“I’ve sent all the men I can use. Don’t worry, even if we have to turn Langstel upside down, I’ll find your wife!” Bob asserted.
After a brief pause, Leo said, “I’ve been thinking, and I think there’s a high probability it’s that bastard Bruno who did this. Have your men focus on finding a breakthrough from Bruno.”
“Bruno? That guy really doesn’t know his place. I’ll send someone to arrest him and interrogate him rigorously!” Bob expressed his anger.
Leo vetoed, “Don’t rush to lay hands on him. If Sophia is really in his hands, pressing too hard might make him desperate, endangering Sophia. Have your men gather clues, and I’ll go to the Henley family estate.”
“Alright, I’ll come over in a while. We can discuss when we meet,” Bob agreed.
After hanging up, Leo took a deep breath. Just as he was about to leave for Huntstone City, the living room door opened, and Jessica and Martin walked in.
“Hey, our family’s freeloader is unexpectedly back, living a comfortable life,” Jessica said in a sarcastic tone upon seeing Leo.
Nora knew that Leo was on the verge of an angry outburst. She quickly walked up to Jessica, signaling with her eyes as she whispered, “Jessica, please sit down and rest. I’ll make tea for you.”
“Get lost!” Jessica impatiently glared at Nora, saying, “I’m talking to my family’s freeloader. Why are you interrupting?”
Martin had noticed Leo’s uneasy expression by now. He gently pulled Jessica’s sleeve and whispered, “Jessica, Leo just returned from a business trip. Please calm down and don’t say too much.”
Jessica forcefully opened Martin’s hand and shouted, “Martin, shut up! Leo, this useless guy, goes on a trip without telling me in advance. He’s becoming more and more disrespectful. I absolutely cannot turn a blind eye to this!”
Seeing Leo remaining silent with a cold expression, Jessica’s courage soared. She stood in front of Leo with her hands on her hips, assuming her typical scolding posture, “Leo, if I remember correctly, you’ve been away without a word for almost five days, right?”
“Now that Sophia is on leave at home, it’s unacceptable for you to leave her alone and enjoy yourself, both in terms of emotions and reason, isn’t it?”
“Moreover, this isn’t the first time you’ve gone out wandering. I remember some time ago you went alone to the capital, right?”
“Come clean, did you fool around outside?”
