“Sir, madam, breakfast is ready. Shall we dine now?”
The two had just come downstairs when the cook came over and asked.
“Hmm.”
Peter jawed slightly.
The cook turned around and went to the kitchen.
Adriana let go of Peter and walked over to Vivian, seeing that her eyes were now swollen from crying so hard.
Eliza was sitting next to Vivian, comforting her, and Adriana glanced at her sister-in-law, as if asking her how Vivian was doing.
Eliza shook her head, sighed and didn’t say anything.
Adriana sat beside Vivian, took her hand and comforted, “Don’t worry too much, let’s eat first, otherwise you won’t be able to do anything if you don’t have the strength later.”
Helping her up, several people walked together to the dining room for dinner.
The breakfast was very generous, because of the large number of people, the kitchen prepared Chinese and Western food, taking care of everyone’s preferences.
But several people are preoccupied and have no taste for food.
Not much was eaten before the crowd broke up.
After sitting in the living room for a while, Peter looked to Vivian, “Try calling around to see if you can get through.”
Because they were concerned about Ashtyn’s well-being, they called the kidnapper’s phone early in the morning, but it showed that the phone was unavailable.
Vivian took the phone and dialed the other party.
“Hello, the user you have called cannot be reached, please dial again later.”
The call went out and she turned on the amplification, only to have a mechanical voice ring out on the other end.
Every time the phone said it was unreachable, it made Vivian more and more nervous and scared.
Edward sat beside Vivian and held her in his arms, soothing her every moment.
Adriana saw Vivian crying with worry again, so she immediately reassured her, “Don’t be afraid, the bandits’ cell phone is off because they are guarding against us. After all, the child is the Henderson Family’s, they are afraid of the Henderson Family’s power, so naturally they have to be careful. Perhaps they are not up at this moment.”
Looking at the time, it was only eight in the morning, a very early hour in the middle of winter.
“Yeah, yeah, Adri’s right.”
Eliza was in line.
Harlee’s eyebrows knitted together and she glanced at Peter without speaking.
The other party’s cell phone is not available, and now that the connection is broken, no one can guarantee what the situation is.
But all they can do now is to wait.
Edward raised his eyes and gazed at Peter with a stony expression, as if waiting for his thoughts.
Instead, he saw Peter shake his head imperceptibly.
Very clear in telling him that although sent people to the north of the city carpet search of the tea mountain, but still no results.
Now, the atmosphere is more and more gloomy, all of them show extreme calm and composure, but in fact, each heart fear and anxiety, anxiety and boredom, but taking into account the mood of Vivian, they can only pretend to be calm.
Time passes, from morning until noon.
Noon until afternoon.
The afternoon waits until 8:00 pm and 8:00 pm to 12:00 pm late at night.
A whole day!
The whole day, they did not wait for the bandits to call, and even the other party’s phone can not be reached.
Peter sent someone to check the phone number, the cell phone number is in a private cell phone store to buy the card, the card registration information is the cell phone store owner, so the trail is completely broken.
And on the day of the hanbok event, the surveillance video of the whole street was broken.
It was clear that everything was planned and that someone knew their plans in advance.
There are spies in Asnana villa, but those are William’s people from FE.
And William and Edward have never met, it is impossible to know, so the spy can not come from the Asnana villa.
“Vivian, it’s very late, you get an early night.”
Adriana saw Vivian sitting on the sofa in a state of confusion, not saying a word, just tears like rain, let people look at the heart.
She kept reassuring, but to no avail.
Eliza is pregnant and Adriana tells her to go to bed early.
Three men sat in the living room, each with a serious face.
“Adriana, you take Vivian to rest.”
Peter gestures a look toward Adriana.
Adriana knew they had something to discuss, so she took Vivian, “Vivian, come on, let’s lie in bed and wait for the phone call, okay?”
Vivian’s eyes were vacant, like a puppet on a string, being led by Adriana and just following her.
The whole time, there was no reaction, just silent tears.
I don’t know, that look in Edward’s eyes, how the heart!
The sound of the door closing came from the second floor guest room and several men breathed a sigh of relief.
Harlee took the lead and said, “The kidnappers said they wanted $80 million in cash, but now they suddenly can’t be reached, what’s going on? The two people, Giovanny and Colin, are considered to be very powerful hackers in China, and they are unable to find any clues left by the hackers when they are allowed to trace the investigation. It can be said that the other party is thoughtful and clean, not a simple character.”
“Because Ashtyn is missing, a large number of people were sent to look for her, so the news has been spread. The most worrying question now may be why the kidnappers let go? Is it possible that they met with an accident, thus causing Ashtyn to fall into the hands of another person?”
Peter prepared for the worst.
And then, then said: “can easily take the child in Edward’s hands, and invited the top hackers, the other party’s identity is naturally not simple. But they only need 80 million cash, it is not reasonable. I’m afraid that there is a bigger person behind it.”
Listening to Peter’s words, Harlee looked at Edward with a puzzled look on her face, “What have you offended?”
Edward frowned sadly, “There are too many.”
“Edward retired from the army, has made numerous merits, domestic and foreign missions more than a hundred times, offended countless people. From this aspect alone to investigate, I’m afraid three months can not find any clues.”
Peter explained.
“That’s too broad a scope.”
Harlee vaguely knows something about Edward, but now it does seem quite tricky.
Edward bowed his body, hands propped on his knees, crossed his fingers, gazed down at the desktop, his face deep in thought.
Although they are not the only ones who can turn their hands into clouds and rain, they are all capable of doing so, and now that their own children have disappeared into thin air, Edward should be the most devastated.
“I’ll go find the old man.”
He got up sharply and made a move to go to the Henderson Family.
“There’s no need to go.”
Peter spoke up and said, “I had Giovanny look into it, and it has nothing to do with Old Mr. Henderson.”
“How are you so sure?”
Harlee asked, puzzled.
“Learning of Ashtyn’s disappearance, Old Mr. Henderson has also been up all night for the past two days, sending a number of his inner circle to look for the child.”
“Maybe it’s just a show?”
“What Harlee said is not unreasonable.”
The duo’s words made sense, but Peter’s next words left the two in silence.
He said, “Reliable sources say …”
Peter wanted to speak, meaningful eyes looked at Edward, a long time before saying: “Old Mr. Henderson sent someone to find Ashtyn, ordered to find the child must be secretly brought back to him, and … claim to the public … the child is dead.”
