"We can’t reach them... We think..." The man looked afraid to voice his guess.
"Think what?" Ian looked up impatiently.
"We think Kevin and his men are dead."
"Dead? Did that girl Lu Yan do it?" Ian wasn’t surprised. After all, lots of his men had died in the past years.
"I don’t think so. Lu Yan is still in Sydney."
"Then Lu Yan’s subordinates did it?"
"It’s not Lu Yan’s style. If she did it, she’d tell us gloatingly. But this time, our men just vanished without a trace."
"Hehe... This is interesting." Ian lounged on the sofa and tapped on the tea table with his fingers; he seemed to be making plans.
"Boss, what do we do now? Shall we send more people to Tasmania?" his subordinate asked cautiously.
Ian glanced at him and asked, "If you kill a man, will you stay there and wait for people to catch you?"
The man didn’t dare to speak.
"Get out, all of you. You’re useless."
"Yes, Boss."
"Wait." Ian seemed to have thought of something.
"Yes, sir."
"Any news from my good brother Nalo?"
"Not yet. Mr. Nalo seems to be searching for Huo Siqian, too."
"Oh, I see. It seems Huo Siqian is quite popular. Continue following Nalo’s men. If you find any clues, you must bring the little bastard Huo Siqian to me at all costs. I’ll chop a piece of flesh from him to vent my anger."
"Yes, Boss."
"Go."
Ian waved his hand and sent his men out of the room. He had a grudge against Huo Siqian for being played by him.
He had played people all his life but now he found someone had played him. It was a very bad feeling.
He had always thought Huo Siqian was in his control but to his surprise, Huo Siqian betrayed him without a warning. It showed this fellow was very capable and determined.
Now that he had a new target, Ian wasn’t in a hurry to catch Lu Yan, because the girl he had seen in the hospital seemed to be an easier target.
If she was really the professor’s daughter, then everything would be easy.
Seven helicopters landed on the island slowly.
Held captive by Qin Chu’s men, John led the way.
Qin Chu helped Huo Mian out of the helicopter.
"You’ve lived here for so many days?" Qin Chu glanced around the desolate-looking island with a lump in his throat.
"Yes." Huo Mian nodded.
"You suffered a lot." Qin Chu tightened his grip on his wife’s hand.
"It wasn’t so bad. Except that I miss you so much, I received no mistreatment. I had food and water but felt suffocated inside; for a few times, I was on the verge of jumping into the ocean and killing myself," Huo Mian said jokingly.
But Qin Chu felt as if a knife was slicing through his heart, but he didn’t show his pain to Huo Mian; instead, he held her shoulders and walked toward the cottage with her.
"Huo Siqian is in the basement," Huo Mian reminded him.
"We’ll see if we can find any clues here. I don’t want that fellow to hide any more cards up his sleeves."
At his order, Qin Chu’s men dug through the things in the cottage to search for anything suspicious or any secret passage.
A box was opened and lots of infant clothes spilled out.
Qin Chu and Huo Mian both glanced at the clothes...
