"Mr. Brian Long wants to meet you. Come with me," the man said coldly.
"Mr. Brian Long?" Daniel asked, surprised. He looked at the man and said, "You are not Mr. Brian
Long's man."
"Well, if I'm not Mr. Brian Long's man, then who could I be?" the man asked with a sinister smile.
Daniel took several steps back. His face was still childish, but he was a clever boy. He said, "Don't take
me for a fool! I know what kind of man Mr. Brian Long is. There is no possibility that he would want to
meet someone like me. Besides, even if he did want to, he wouldn't have resorted to such methods."
The man smiled cruelly and said, "Well, you are not that stupid after all..."
Daniel tried hard to keep calm. He looked around hoping to find a way to escape. However, they were
in a small alley. It was almost impossible for him to escape successfully.
"You'd better not try to escape," the man laughed and said coldly, "because you will surely fail to do it
anyway."
The man took out his gun. As Daniel's face turned pale, the man pressed the trigger, shooting a fine
needle into Daniel's arm before he had the time to react. In an instant, Daniel lost consciousness.
The man walked up to him and picked up his limp body. He carried him with ease like a rag doll and
threw him inside a car which was parked in hiding. The man made a phone call and spoke, "Steven
was picked up by somebody sent by Edgar. I'm going to bring his little boy back. I guess he would be of
some use."

At M-blue Restaurant
Wing loved the food at this restaurant. The satisfying color, the aroma and the taste of the food went so
well with the simple and elegant pattern of the interior. She always enjoyed dining in this place.
However, today was different. Wing sat at the head of the table, with Brian and Becky to her right while
Molly and Eric sat to her left. Since she and Molly had reached first, they sat next to each other. Eric
naturally sat by Molly's side. Brian was accustomed to being close to Wing, so he sat next to her. And
as a result, Brian and Molly were directly opposite to each other.
Becky could easily feel the weird atmosphere around the table. She was angry at Molly, but it would be
inconvenient for her to vent her anger in everybody's presence. Ironically, it was fortunate that she was
blind at the moment. Since she could not see anything, she pretended to not notice the heavy
atmosphere and tried to be relaxed. With a tender and graceful smile, she turned her head towards
Brian, who was sitting to her left, and said to him, "Bri, please order some food for me. I want to go to
the lady's room."
Molly had been silent since Brian and Becky had entered the restaurant, she had not uttered a single
word. But, Brian had been staring at her with his dark falcon eyes. Anger swirled in his eyes. Molly did
not understand why he was angry again.
"Let me call for a waitress to guide you," Brian said softly as he withdrew his sight from Molly.
"No, thanks," Becky said with a smile. "Molly, would you please accompany me?"
Molly was shocked by her sudden request. Meanwhile, everybody else was looking at her. She was not
at all willing to go with Becky, but she could not refuse her flatly either.
"Molly is helping me order food," Eric said casually. "Becky, why not let a waitress guide you?"
Becky was embarrassed. Her hands, which were placed on her knees, curled into fists. She tried not to
lose her countenance. She smiled faintly and then slowly stood up from her chair. When she was about
to move, one of her feet hit the leg of the table. She lost her balance and was about to fall. She let out a
scream. Brian's arm quickly wrapped around her waist and steadied her.
"Why won't you be more careful? You know perfectly well that you can't see." Brian's calm and cool
voice contained dissatisfaction, but you could figure out that the dissatisfaction sounded more like
pampering.
Becky looked shaken. She compressed her lips and gulped nervously, trying to digest her fear. Then
she slightly lowered her head and said weakly, "It wasn't intentional."
Seeing Becky so delicate and soft was entirely new to Eric. In the past, he used to feel that she looked
adorable when she acted like a delicate woman, but now he felt uncomfortable.
In the past, Becky used to be free-willed and overbearing; she was a strong, independent woman. Now,
she seemed to have softened up a lot. Eric assumed that it was obvious that she had turned out to be
this way. Becky was just uneasy and helpless because of her blindness.
Wing glanced at Molly, who looked a little embarrassed. Wing said with a considerate smile on her
face, "Let me go with Becky."
She was about to stand up, but Molly stood up quicker than her. She took a look at Brian and said
indifferently, "I'll go with Miss Yan."
Neither Wing nor Eric felt strange about her decision, but Brian was unhappy with how the situation
was progressing. He was about to say something, but Molly walked past him and took one of Becky's
arms into hers. She said, "I need to use the lady's room too."
"Great!" Becky answered with a smile, which couldn't have been more soft or beautiful. With Molly
supporting her, Becky walked out of everyone's sight.
Brian, Eric and Wing did not withdraw their eyes from them until Becky and Molly had disappeared
around the corner. Eric finally said, "Wing, since you invited Molly, you should have tried to avoid calling
Becky."
Brian did not say a word. He just glared at Eric because he was disgusted by Eric's excessive care for
Molly.
"Why not?" Wing asked, confused. "It's a get-together for everybody, and it's nice to see all of you at
the same time. Besides, you can see yourself more clearly!"
Wing's words were specifically targeted at the two men. She first glanced at Eric and then at Brian. Her
eyes gradually became deeper. She wanted to find out the truth from Brian's face. After considering the
tangle with him yesterday and the phone call this morning, she could not believe that Brian had no
special feeling towards Molly.
"The problem is that you haven't taken Little Molly's feelings into consideration," said Eric. Obviously,
he did not pay much attention to what Wing had said. He looked at her angrily. She was looking at him
in confusion. He glanced at Brian once, and said, "Wing, do you know Little Molly's true
identity?"
