Ed Is Kidnapped
Demi straightened up at once. “What should I do?”
The chilling voice replied, “There are two things that you need to do. Firstly, you have to find a way to
lure Ed to the outskirts of Eastcliff. After that, I’ll give you a video. You have to send the video to
Matthew.”
Demi immediately nodded. “No problem!”
Demi then discussed her plan with Liam. In the end, the couple contacted Ed in Sasha’s name, asking
him to go to South Suburb—where Wellness Herbary’s warehouse was—to check on things on the
excuse that something had gone wrong with Wellness Herbary’s medicinal ingredients.
Ed was relatively simpleminded, so he immediately drove to South Suburb without thinking much about
it. However, he had a car accident before arriving at the warehouse in South Suburb. Right after he was
knocked unconscious in the car crash, several men in black got out of their car, picked Ed up, and
hurriedly fled the scene.
Not long after that, someone found Demi and gave her a thumb drive, telling her to send the video to
Matthew. When Demi opened the video to take a look, she saw the scene of a group of people getting
beaten up. When she looked closely, she found that Ed was among the group of people that was getting
beaten up.
Demi was startled. What’s going on with this? she thought. However, she didn’t think much about it.
Immediately, she sent the video to Matthew, saying that she had inadvertently come across the video
online.
At this moment, Matthew was practicing Divine Skill in Lakeside Garden’s basement. Upon receiving the
video, he opened it without thinking. However, when he saw what the video was about, he instantly felt
his blood rushing to his head!
The video showed Ed and a few other men desperately begging for mercy on their knees. However, a
group of swaggering young men ignored their pleas and beat them up with all kinds of weapons.
Ed, in particular, was pinned to the ground and beaten up to the extent of coughing up blood. Despite
being knocked to the ground several times, he was picked up and forced into kneeling on the ground.
The group of young men ignored his pleas, no matter how tearfully he had begged for mercy.
From the way it looked, it was clear that the group of young men had wanted to beat Ed and the few
other young lads to death. In reality, two of the young lads had indeed been beaten to death.
As for Ed, he had been beaten until he was covered in blood. Finally, he turned around and jumped into
the surging river behind him, whereas the group of young men rushed to the river and swore angrily
before the video ended.
Upon watching this, Matthew turned livid with anger. He had healed Ed’s injuries these days, and he had
asked Ed several times about his injuries. However, Ed never revealed what he had gone through, nor
did he tell Matthew who were the ones that had beaten him up. Now that Matthew had watched the
video, he immediately figured out what had happened.
He called Ed at once, but no one answered the phone despite him calling Ed twice. Perplexed, he
immediately called Ed’s wife, only to learn that Ed had gone to the warehouse in South Suburb.
A bad feeling instantly came over Matthew. He quickly called those at the warehouse in South Suburb,
only to be told that Ed had never been there. His expression instantly turned grave, for he suddenly
realized that it was too much of a coincidence for these things to happen simultaneously. Obviously,
someone had to be manipulating all this behind the scenes!
Not daring to tarry any longer, Matthew immediately called Tiger, telling him to search for Ed.
At the same time, Matthew called Demi, but he couldn’t reach her because her phone had been switched
off. He immediately frowned, knowing that someone must have used Demi to do all this. In reality, only
Demi was likely to be able to lure Ed out, for it was impossible for anyone else to be able to do so. But
what the hell do they want to do?
After waiting for over 10 minutes, Matthew got word from Tiger that the latter and his men had found Ed’s
car. However, Ed wasn’t in the car, and when they obtained surveillance footage of the nearby area, they
found that Ed had been kidnapped.
Matthew’s face turned pale at once. Immediately, he asked Tiger to rescue Ed. Ed was his best buddy,
so there was no way he would let anything happen to him!
