President Mo was Furious!

With the sudden incident that scare Hazel and the grownups, Neil decided to cancel their trip to the mall.

The little girl was traumatized by the incident and had stuck herself to both Neil and Edith like glue. When any of them had escaped her eyesight even for a second, Hazel was unable to sit properly and had wanted to look for them.

It took that man seconds to snatch her right in front of the adult's eyes. Hazel was worried that if she did not stay close to them, someone was going to snatch her again.

As their plan had changed, Neil brought everyone back to his office and let Assistant Shawn order takeaway for their lunch.

Despite everything they have gone through, the atmosphere in Neil's office was quite lively with Henry inquiring Edith about her experiences and skills in self-defense.

Of course, Edith did not dare to reveal too much about herself as she still wanted to keep her reputation as a demure young lady in front of the man she fancied.

Neil Mo had already seen the way she had taken down that man and perhaps had a bad impression on her at the moment. It would be bad if she had accidentally revealed how she had got herself into a fight in school. If that happened, then perhaps she would really stand no chance to pursue her romance.

Once Neil had ensured that the little girl had eaten enough and had calmed down, he let Henry drive them over to the police station to record their statements.

When they arrived, Assistant Shawn was already waiting for them with Neil's lawyer, Robert Han.

Neil exchanged a few words with his lawyer and accompanied his niece to speak with the police. Once everything was settled, he sent both Hazel and Edith back to his place.

Seeing that the little girl had calmed down and was drawing some pictures in the living room with her crayon, Neil decided to head over to the police station again to meet the man who had wanted to hurt his niece.

"Uncle!" Hazel stood up abruptly and ran towards her uncle when she saw him heading towards the door. "Where are you going?" She gripped at his trouser tightly and had refused to let go.

Neil bent to her level. "I'm going out to settle a few things." He patted the girl on his shoulder. "You stay home with Teacher Qian and take a rest. I will come back soon, alright?"

"Oh." She nodded. Hazel hesitated and slowly released her grip on his pants. "Uncle, you have to take care, alright?"

His lips tilted into a gentle smile, knowing that his niece was worried over him. "I will be fine. Uncle Henry will be with me. You know that he can fight very well, right?"

Hazel nodded. "Uncle, you have to get home as quickly as you can. I won't be at ease if you are not around."

Neil kissed the little girl on her cheek and stood up. He then exchanged his gaze with Edith who was standing not far away from them and nodded, motioning her to take over.

"Hazel," Edith called and smiled when the little girl turned to her. "Do you want to help me and bake some cookies?"

Her eyes brightened. "Teacher Qian, I'll help!"

Once Edith had successfully distracted Hazel, Neil left the house and head over to the police station with Henry accompanying him. When they arrived, Assistant Shawn and his lawyer, Robert Han were still waiting for Neil.

"President Mo," both of them stood up to greet him and froze upon seeing Neil's expression. It was not hard to decipher his mood at the moment.

President Mo was furious!

"Is he still in the interrogation room?" Henry asked.

Henry's presence was like a light in the darkness. He was their hope!

The two of them had worked for Neil for a long time and knew what will happen when their boss was angered. No one would be able to calm his anger.

At least, with Henry around, there will be someone who can help them to reason with Neil if he wanted to do something excessive.

Neil would surely listen to his friend's advice.

"Yes," the lawyer nodded. "The detectives had finished interrogating Mister Edward Xiao half an hour ago. I have talked to them. President Mo, you can go and meet Edward Xiao whenever you want."

"I wanted to see him now," Neil said.

"Certainly." The lawyer nodded. He left to speak with the person in charge and after a few minutes of waiting, Neil Mo was escorted towards the interrogation room.

His expression darkened as he saw Edward Xiao's figure behind the glass partition. Initially, Neil had asked Assistant Shawn to arrange a meeting with those who were laid off unjustly from the company. Edward Xiao was one of them.

However, Neil did not expect that this man would be too impatient and had tried to threaten him with Hazel.

He will not let anything bad happen to Hazel under his watch.

The little girl was his only niece and the only heir of Adam and Claire. Neil had promised both of them that he will look after Hazel and he had no plan to break his promise.

Whenever he was reminded of the scene where Hazel was in this man's hand, Neil had the urge to punch someone. He was unable to forget Hazel's pale face and the way she had cried in his arms.

His anger rose and his face turned terrifyingly cold.

"Neil," Henry called out his name and nudged him on his arms. "Calm down."

Neil snapped out of his trance and took a few deep breaths. Then, he walked over to the door and entered the room, alone.

Edward Xiao immediately stood up frantically as the door swung open. He watched as President Mo sat in front of him and his hands began to tremble.

"President Mo, I did not mean to hurt her," Edward spoke with a pleading tone. "I was just trying to gain your attention. I just wanted to talk to you and explain my situation. President Mo, you have to trust me."

A chuckle escaped him. "I'm here," Neil spoke and shrugged. "Now you have my attention. Since you wanted to speak to me, then go ahead. What do you want to say? I will listen. We have all the time you need. But before that, Mister Xiao," Neil paused to lay back on the steel chair and stared at Edward Xiao with a cold gaze. "There are some things you should know."

"W-what?"

"I was aware of what you have been doing outside MH Headquarters for the past few weeks. I have asked for your dismissal and your case to be investigated. If you just wait for another day, my assistant will call you and discuss this matter with you. However, you made one big mistake." Neil shook his head slowly. He leaned forward and his lips curled into a terrifying smile. "You should never threaten me with my niece."

Neil stood up and slowly walked to approach the man.

The air around them turned stiff and Edward found that he was unable to breathe properly.

Edward licked at his lips and swallowed to ease his dry throat. "What are you trying to do? We're at the police station. You cannot do anything to me. It's illegal!"
