“One of the two numbers you gave me is a virtual number, which will change its location every five
minutes. I need time to trace it. And I’ve sent the location of the other number to you.”
Edison said on the phone.
“OK, wait. Let me check.” Hayden hurriedly checked her phone.
The location showed a hotel in Shanghai.
Hayden got out of the airport in Shanghai, and stopped a taxi there.
“TC Hotel, please.”
The driver started the car. Hayden put the phone on her ear again, “Hello? Edison, I’m in the car.”
“Well, tell me when you arrive. I’m asking them to trace the virtual number. I can get the result before
night.”
“OK.”
Just as Hayden wanted to hang up the phone, Edison called her.
“Hayden, it’s Joseph’s business again, right?”
“Yes, it’s dangerous this time.”
“Where is he? Why does he always leave you in danger?”
“It’s a long story. I can’t explain it to you now. I’m gonna tell you after I deal with the troubles.”
Edison was silent then. He hung up the phone after seconds. It seemed that he got angry.
Hayden was also speechless, but she had no time to think of this.
Edison was like an elder brother to her. He always took good care of her, and she also got used to his
kindness. The elder brother would definitely never get angry with his little sister, so Hayden sent one
more message to urge him.
“Fast! I need the location of the virtual number.”
However, she would never know how depressed Edison was now.
How could the cute girl he had spoiled for years become the fussy momma after she was with Joseph?
Edison definitely had the reason to be depressed.
The hotel was remote, but close to the airport, so Hayden got there quickly.
When Rebekah opened the door for Hayden, she looked terrible. Frights on her face became confusion
as she saw Hayden there.
“Why do you come here?”
“I’m afraid that you’ll get hurt. Don’t kick me away anymore. I can help you.”
Hayden strode into the room and asked, “What happened in the morning? Why did you suddenly leave
before I woke up?”
Rebekah was touched as she saw Hayden here. This little girl even took such a long trip to follow her.
She couldn’t hide anything from Hayden.
“Zed called me and asked me to send the money alone. I’m afraid of anything dangerous, so I don’t
want to let anyone take the risk.”
“So why do you come here since you know it’s dangerous?”
Hayden found her future mother-in-law was really naive, “Please, if he has made an evil plan, both
Benjamin and you can’t go back.”
“I’m ready. Anyway, I can’t get others involved.”
“I’m not others.”
Hayden took a deep breath. To say such bashful words did take some courage, “I’m your daughter-in-
law. Do you want to deny this?”
Rebekah was shocked by this. She stared at Hayden with surprise, and then said bitterly.
“No, I won’t deny this.”
“So be it.” Hayden smiled, “Don’t worry. I have the plan.”
“What’s your plan?”
“Never mind. Just let me follow you tomorrow. I’m also good at fighting. I can buy you some time, and I
can run fast.”
Rebekah wanted to refuse, but as she saw Hayden’s confident expression, she was speechless.
The night passed quickly.
The time they agreed on was two at noon, but Zed changed it to three. Every time when Hayden and
Rebekah came to a new place, they would get the call and be asked to go to another place. They kept
moving until it was seven at night. The day became dark at seven in the winter.
Zed’s voice was as malicious as a snake on the phone, “Go out of the city, and go fifty kilometers to the
north. There is a disused factory by the river. I’m waiting for you there. By the way, you’ll never see
your son again if you can call the police.”
“Don’t touch him.” Rebekah gritted her teeth, “I’ve prepared the money well. I’ll ruin the money if you
dare to hurt him.”
“Huh, stop talking bullshit. Come here quickly. I’ll cut his every finger if you are late for every minute.
Don’t he want to be a cop? Let’s see which police station is willing to recruit your disabled son.”
These terrifying words scared Rebekah. Hayden watched Rebekah’s face turning paler and paler. Now
Rebekah was tortured so much that even her lips were pale like the dead.
Zed’s tricks were used to test if they had called the police. The police couldn’t make so many
preparations at so many places without being noticed, and they couldn’t hide their tracks after moving
so many times.
On the way to the north, Hayden drove the car. She tried to distract Rebekah by talking.
“Did you say Zed has a rich wife? Why does he still act like an outlaw?”
Talking of this, Rebekah’s face turned sullen.
“He’s born to hurt others. He got divorced because he owed much money when he gambled. He can’t
get rid of this habit all his life. No matter how many rich women he can find, he will always find his
money short.”
“...”
On the second floor of the disused factory, in the dim light, two guards were stomping on the ground.
They felt chilly and would feel chillier if they stopped walking.
“It’s frozen, fuck! It may be a snow day soon. Why does Mr. Bay choose such a freezing day? I’m
gonna die for the fucking frozen weather.”
“Choose? It’s almost the new year. Mr. Bay has to pay his debt before the new year. Otherwise, the
young lady won’t let him go easily.”
“Sh!”
The other man hurriedly covered his mouth and said in a low voice, “Are you crazy? Don’t talk so
loudly. Mr. Bay will kill you if he hears you.”
“Fine, fine. Let me go.”
The talkative man got rid of his partner’s miry hand and spat to the ground.
“Do you want to choke me? You miry hand! He’s on the phone with the young lady. He must be
flattering the young lady, and has no time to listen to our talking.”
Speaking of Zed flattering their young lady, the two men showed ironic smiles to each other.
They were also reluctant to follow a useless worm, but they had to listen to their young lady.
Zed was now the son-in-law of a gang family.
It was cold and windy on the rooftop, and Zed also trembled because of the chilly wind, but he was still
smiling when he was on the phone.
“Dear, I didn’t play outside. I’m gonna back soon, and I’ve got all the debt back. It’s ten million. I will
miss no one coin.”
