"What?! Midori, where are you?"
"I'm...past the intersection of M Street and..."
"Don't move! I'm coming!"
Verdan Zhou started the engine if the SS Aero. He was actually planning on letting his wife drive it again after learning that it was her favorite. Who would have thought that he will be needing its speed in this way?
As he stepped on the accelerator, the call he dialled connected.
"Young Master."
"My son was kidnapped. Check all the traffic cameras. I need to find him and there's no time to waste!"
"Right away, Young Master." the person on the other end hung up in a hurry to get on the job.
When Verdan Zhou reached the scene, he dashed towards Midori.
As he embraced her, he could feel her whole body trembling.
"Shh...it's gonna be fine. I'm here." He rubbed her back gently to console her.
"I'm such an idiot! I...I did not intend to leave him alone in the car...but Uncle Hao was hurt by that man...I... I had no choice but to help him...before I knew it, I...I was surrounded...then...then when I went back to...he's gone!" Midori wailed as she clenched his s.h.i.+rt.
He hugged her tighter as his heart was stabbed by her tears. A dangerous expression was evident on his handsome face.
He called several numbers, and soon the police and an ambulance arrived.
The police took their statements and Uncle Hao was taken to the hospital. The men who were left behind by their comrades were taken in by the police for interrogation.
Verdan Zhou did his best to prevent his wife from killing them.
After much restraining, he had persuaded Midori to come home.
He took her back to the Xiu estate, and everyone had known what happened.
"I got my people to track the vehicle. We will ve in pursuit once we know where they are." Verdan Zhou's expression remained dangerous.
"Son-in-law, what you are doing is enough. Don't show Midori that expression. She will feel the guilt." Xiu Jin tapped on his shoulder as he nodded.
Takagi Ryuuji happened to pa.s.s by behind them, returning from the kitchen to get Midori a gla.s.s of water.
His expression turned solemn when he heard the old man address someone else as his son-in-law.
...
Meanwhile, the press conference had ended, with no one alerting anyone in it about the kidnapping situation.
Agatha Yang held Manta's hand as they walked to the exit of the studio.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
The number was not registered on her contacts but it was familiar to her.
She frowned as she answered, "What do you want?"
"Oh...getting c.o.c.ky, are we?" the devious voice of a woman sounded from the other end.
"I'm busy." Agatha Yang was about to hang up.
"Are you sure you don't mind me killing the people who raised you?"
"What do you want?" Agatha's expression turned dark.
Manta held on tighter to her hand as he was suddenly scared. He can sense that there is something wrong.

"Agatha! Don't forsake us! Help us!" she suddenly heard her parents scream in despair from the other end.
She clenched her phone. "Is it money? I'll send it to your account within the day." her voice was irritated.
"If you don't want their heads on the headlines tomorrow, come to the WT villa. They are only gonna wait for 20 minutes. And of course, no police, if you catch my drift..." A laugh could be heard from the phone before the call was cut.
Agatha looked around. The driver is nowhere to be found. She tried calling him, but no one took the call. Even the household phone was busy.
She checked the time. She was wasting it. She did not want to take her son with her on this matter. However, as they boarded a cab, she knew she had no choice.
"Madam, the boy is with the woman as you've said. They are on their way." A man in an all black ensemble who was watching from the studio alley reported.
