The cigarette burned itself out and hurt Brian's fingers a little bit. Slightly frowning, Brian stood up and
snuffed it out in the ashtray. Then, he said coldly,"Check and see where Molly is!"
"Yes, Mr. Long!" Tony answered affirmatively and then marched towards the door.
As Tony was closing the door, he was surprised to see the look of anxiety on Brian's face.
**
Lenny drove the car around the city endlessly and from time to time, she took a glance at Eric, who
was sitting in the passenger seat. Finally, she couldn't bear it and asked impatiently,"Young Master, do
you plan on hanging out on the streets for the whole night?"
Squinting at Lenny, Eric made no response and went on to look out of the car window.
His heart felt uneasy after he left Mr. Song's manor. He couldn't help himself but he kept on reading
Molly's message again and again and each time he read it, his heart ached terribly. Then, he recalled
the sound that he had heard from the lounge...
Lowering his eyes, Eric stared at the phone screen again. The urge to read the message took control of
him again...
All of a sudden, Lenny stepped hard on the brake and stopped the car on the roadside. Her charming
face became stern and she said,"Young Master, you focus too much on Molly Xia."
Eric lifted his gaze, grinned playfully and said,"Because she is the woman that Brian cares about!"
"Really? And is that all there is to it?" With a serious look, Lenny looked at Eric and added,"Even for
Miss Yan, you've never been this focused with her!"
"Oh? I haven't?" Eric raised his brows, supported his one arm on the seat, propping up his chin, and
looked at Lenny with an evil grin, while he said slowly,"Lenny, you've worked for me for so many years,
so you know what I'm thinking, right?"
Lenny's heart trembled with fear, yet, she didn't show it on her face. She kept her indifferent look and
said slowly,"Young Master, I'm your shadow, so I always notice and am concerned with everything
about you."
With a naughty smile, and a meaningful look in his eyes, Eric said casually,"Lenny, if I call Little Molly
now, do you think Brian will get angry with me?"
Upon hearing his words, Lenny's face darkened and ignoring Eric's pride, she confronted,"Young
Master, do you really want to irritate Mr. Long? Or, are you just worried about Molly Xia?"
The smile on his face instantly vanished. Eric put down his arm, sat upright, and scolded in a cold
voice,"Lenny, know your place! Just do your duty!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Lenny responded and started the engine. She was just his shadow. She could
only obey his order and shouldn't question his decisions.
The car was still driving around the roads of A City. The atmosphere inside it was very tense and
oppressive. Lenny found it suffocating.
"Stop!" Eric's cold instruction suddenly came.
Lenny took a glance at Eric and pulled over. Eric got out of the car, walked to open the driver seat's
door and ordered,"Get out!"
Without asking anything, Lenny immediately got out of the car. Eric got in the driver's seat and ordered
Lenny to go back home by herself. Lenny looked on as Eric drove away.
A City was a prosperous and sleepless city. Even late at night, the traffic was still heavy on the road. At
the speed of 200 km/h, Eric's car roared along the road. The squeal and the angry blowing of the car
horn pierced through the air and echoed around the city.
Eric was enraged. He refused to feel his worries towards Molly in his heart. It was just a game. Maybe
Brian hadn't really fallen deep in it, so how could he get himself trapped with in the game? How could
he care so much for Molly?
As he stepped on the gas again, the car sped faster and faster. However, it didn't help to chase away
his annoyance. On the contrary, it added more worries in his heart.
Suddenly, there was a piercing shriek of brakes as Eric suddenly stopped the car, causing the cars
behind him to brake all of a sudden and some of them even collided with each other.
A wave of cussing and scolding voice came behind him, but Eric didn't care. He just took out his phone
and dialed a number.
"Sorry, I can't answer the phone now. Please leave me a message!"
It wasn't Molly's voice but the phone system sound.
Eric narrowed his eyes as his heart became uneasy. He didn't think that Molly would switch off her
phone. Worry and anxiety painted across his face.
Then, he immediately called Tony, but Tony told him that Molly hadn't come back to the villa yet.
Gripping the phone even tighter, Eric intuitively knew something was not right.
Something bad had happened to Molly.
Without hesitation, he called Lenny. As soon as the call was connected, he coldly exclaimed,"Molly is in
danger. Ask all our men in A City to search for her whereabouts!"
Having ended the call, Eric stared at the windshield and started to search his brain for the possibilities
of Molly's whereabouts. Then, he started the engine again and sped towards Mr. Song's manor.

"Ooh... It hurts!"
In a haze, Molly covered her forehead with her hand. She felt cold all over her body. Her eyelids were
so heavy that she could hardly keep eyes open. She felt pain and tiredness across her body, especially
in her head.
As she tried to struggle and move, the pain took her again. She had to give up struggling and started to
recall what happened.
The last memory she could remember was that her head had been suddenly hit by someone...
Thinking about it, Molly panicked. She managed to open her eyes.
However, she couldn't see anything in front of her!
She was in complete darkness.
Trapped in a place without the slightest beam of light, Molly began to gasp for air, as she felt it hard to
breathe. It was a different case from the last time that she was kidnapped by Tyler. Last time, her eyes
were covered so she could see nothing, but she could feel the light around her. When the cloth was
pulled off, she could see the bright room. But this time, it was totally dark in the room.
Molly swallowed. The great fear gradually crept across her face. Instantly, she closed her eyes and
covered her ears with her hands. The fear throttled her, making her suffocate. She felt like falling
sharply into a deep abyss.
"AHHHH..."
She couldn't bear the horror anymore and screamed at the top of her lungs, in despair. The scream
echoed around the dark and confined room.
"AHHH...
Brian Long, where are you? Ah... please save me! No, no... I don't want to stay here... Brian Long!
Brian! Where are you?"
Her body shivered; her eyes were closed as tight as she could; and tears uncontrollably poured down
her cheeks. The screams and wails pierced through the darkness. Gradually, her voice became hoarse
and low, and in the end, she was exhausted and could only sob and weep.
With her hands still covering her ears, Molly buried her head between her legs and mumbled,"Brian,
please, don't throw me away... please... don't..."
When Molly was mumbling Brian's name, suddenly, a huge bang was heard from the door. Then, a
beam of light pierced in the dark house, and right then, a low and worried voice
came,"Molly!"
