Chapter 605: Don't Hurt My Son (part one)

"Hehe! Daisy, you ought to take your words back. It's a good thing to be confident, but you should know when to draw a line," Jessica said this with a forced smile, so as to conceal her anger. But when she saw it had no impact on Daisy, she just ground her teeth awkwardly.

It's just like a coin with two sides. Comedy and tragedy are both happening all at once. The most important thing is how you see things. For me, I will be fine as long as I can find a perfect balance between the two," Daisy said. She wasn't impetuous or perturbed. The harder the things were to deal with, the more she wanted to stay alert. Only in this manner could she find a way to rescue herself. After all, she was at an absolute disadvantage. She couldn't see anything happening in her favor. Fortunately, they didn't plan to kill her. This did give her a hope to escape from the danger.

"Actions speak louder than words. Honestly, if we didn't have Edward between us, you would be the type of person I would genuinely admire. It is sad, that we are standing on opposite sides. Now, we can be nothing but enemies to each other."

Jessica said with smiling eyes and a joyful look on her face. Nobody could guess what she was thinking. However, irrespective of what she was upto, Daisy would always think of it as something against her.

"Indeed, but you can never be the person I would admire even if we didn't have Edward between us. So we're destined to be enemies," Daisy said, pinching her lips coldly. She squinted at her with a faint sarcasm floating in her eyes. She couldn't stand a self-righteous woman like Jessica.

"Daisy, you..." Jessica didn't expect Daisy to have changed so much. She was not the same Daisy she knew from the past. Daisy today was extremely harsh both in her tone and attitude. In fair comparison, Daisy was just as bad as Jessica, if not worse than her. Daisy's hostility made her speechless for a while.

"Come on. Cousin, don't be mad at her. We can't stay here for long. It's better if we find a safe place!" Hero said and frowned. She didn't maintain any contact with him in the past solely because she didn't approve of his criminal ways. However, one day, she unexpectedly showed up at his door and asked him for a favor. She wanted him to help her kill a woman. This was easy for him but he didn't want to help her in the beginning. However, he changed his mind when she showed him Daisy's picture. He agreed solely because he wanted Daisy.

At that moment, Mary couldn't come to a decision. It felt to her as if everything was slipping from her hands. Since she had come this far, she didn't want to stop. It didn't matter to her whether they would kill or confine Daisy. But little did it occur to her that once Daisy found her way out, she wouldn't let this all go so easily. But when Mary thought about it again, she realized this was not different from kidnapping and it was definitely against the law! Even worse because the person they kidnapped was a female officer. This could mean a big trouble. She had been trying to put down Daisy but she totally overlooked the consequences of the entire thing.

"Excuse me, colonel. You'll have to withstand the trouble of being tied here so that you don't run away when the effects of the drug start wearing off. But don't worry, I will untie you as soon as we get to a safe place," Hero said. He was a man with a good temper, at least he was nice to Daisy. It was unimaginable how he would be with others.

"It doesn't matter. Now I'm under your control, so no matter how unhappy I feel, you wouldn't care too much! But I have one simple request. Please don't hurt my son. After all, he is just a kid. No matter how smart he may be, he can't fight you!"

Daisy said. She now regretted her decision to take Justin out with her. He was too young. Although she did teach him how to respond to danger, she couldn't count on him because he was just a child. She couldn't expert him to stay fearless in the face of danger?

She tried to concentrate on herself. Right now, it didn't matter how powerful she was. There was nothing she could do in this situation. She couldn't blame anyone but herself for this. She assumed everything could be under her control and nothing could frighten her as she was good at fighting. Sadly, she ignored this group of shameless people existing in the world and because of that she put not only hers but Justin's life in danger.

Hero signalled the men around him with his eyes. Immediately, one guy took the hint and seized the phone from Daisy's hand. He turned it off. They were smart and careful. They knew if they left the phone with Daisy, she would immediately call for help as soon as they got out of there.

At that moment, Edward just finished a three-hour long meeting and strolled to his office. He took out the phone from his pocket, dialed a string of numbers that he was familiar with, and put the phone near his ear with a sweet smile on his face. Unfortunately, his smile didn't last for more than ten seconds as he heard some automatic voice on the other side of the phone.

Edward frowned and dialed again. He squinted in confusion when he heard the automated voice "the subscriber you dialed is powered off" again. He dialed another familiar number. Although the automated response wasn't same as the last one, it said "the number you dialed can not be connected". He looked at the number he dialed incredulously, then confirmed and dialed again. He again heard the same response.

Why couldn't their phone numbers be connected? Edward wondered. He could understand if only Daisy's phone was out of power, but he couldn't accept that even Justin's phone couldn't be connected. This never happened in the past. Edward was worried now.

Edward pursed his lips frustratingly and walked nodding to the staff who passed by saying hello to him. He decided to call up his home phone as he was upset that he couldn't hear their voices. He didn't know why, but he had got this strange feeling bothering him since morning. This was why, he couldn't wait to call Daisy as soon as the meeting was over.

"Hello, Mr. Mu, can I help you?" Mrs. Wu asked on the phone. She trotted out of the kitchen immediately when she heard the phone ringing. She paused for a second after she saw the number displaying on the telephone because Edward rarely called to the home phone.

"Yes! Mrs. Wu, is Daisy at home?" Edward asked and listened carefully, with his stiff body resting on the chair. His lips move at the sight of the huge pile of files in front of him. He could sense that there was a lot of work pending to be done no matter how much he tried to escape from work.

No, she isn't! Even your parents are out now. Are you not able to connect with Mrs. Mu? Mrs. Wu asked and rubbed her hands against the apron. She hadn't seen anyone at home ever since she came back home from the vegetable market with Sunny. She thought all of them went out together. It seemed as if they were all together.

Got it. I'll call someone else! Edward said frowning more tightly. They're not at home, then where did they all go? Edward thought to himself. Daisy's feet were stiill recovering, so she shouldn't have gone anywhere! Did anything important come up that she had to go out?
