"Let's go out first!" It was so quiet in the library that only the sound of turning over a book could be
heard. The two of them were so loud that aroused many people frowned.
Angela was pulled out by him all the way. He said, "Barry called me and said something happened to
the brothel."
Her heart skipped a beat. "What happened?"
"Get in the car first." He opened the door for her and fastened the seat belt for her.
As soon as Edward started the car, his phone rang. On the other side of the line, Angela heard the
anxious voice of Lucas, "Mr. Edward, the meeting is going to be held in half..."
"I have something urgent to deal with."
"But the construction is about to start..."
"Postpone it until next week!"
"Didn't you say that we would lose eighty million if the construction is started next week?"
"Yes! Postpone it until next week. I'll inform you of the meeting time. " Edward was looking forward all
the time. Then he hung up the phone.
Angela saw the message from her brother Barry asked her, "sister, why don't you answer the phone?"
Something happened to the brothel. Our father was being rescued in the hospital. Call me back as
soon as you see the message!
Panic was written in the whole message. The children of the Xu Family had never experienced
anything big. Barry was the youngest one who grew up under their protections. When Angela saw this
message, her mind was full of her brother's helpless eyes.
Angela's heart skipped a beat and her hands couldn't help trembling. She called him and it took a long
time for him to answer the phone.
"Barry, what are you talking about?"
"You finally answered the phone!"
"How's dad? Does he out of the emergency room?" Her heart was in her throat.
"Not yet..."
Hearing her brother's choked voice, she couldn't help but raise her voice, "don't cry! Why are you
crying?"
Although she said so, she couldn't resist her tears and her eyes were wet. Because of her brother's
crying, she guessed that the situation was not optimistic. "Tell me, what happened?"
"After lunch, dad said he had a big order and had to go to the brothel. At about three o'clock, their
mother received a call from Kevin, saying that the brothel was on fire. Several people died... When
mom and I got there, dad was pulled out. The ambulance just arrived. Dad's legs were covered with
blood..."
At last, Barry's voice became more and more trembling.
Her heart twitched and tears welled up in her eyes.
"How long has he been rescued?"
Edward reached out his hand and took the phone from her. While she was in a daze, he frowned and
asked calmly, "Barry, how long has dad been rescued?"
After a while, he replied, "well, don't be afraid. We're on the way now. We'll be there in an hour."
After hanging up the phone, he didn't return the phone to her. He took out his phone and dialed a
number.
"How is my father? Did he come out? Where is my mother?" She wanted to take back her phone, but
she was afraid that it would affect his driving, so she could only be anxious.
"Don't worry." He looked at her calmly as if nothing serious had happened. At that moment, she felt a
little relieved.
Then he said to the other end of the phone, "send some people to the Central Hospital of L County in S
City."
1.5 hours later, as soon as the car stopped, Angela opened the door and ran out. Seeing that she ran
in the wrong direction in a hurry, Edward grabbed her wrist and said, "this way!"
With red eyes, she just wanted to see that her father was fine as soon as possible and her anger
against him had already been forgotten.
At this time, Barry called her and said excitedly, "Dad is out! We're in room 2021 now, but please don't
do this..."
When Barry spoke, there were many noises on the other end of the phone, including mournful cries
and vicious curses, and then the sound of "beep" came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello? Barry?" Angela knew that someone was making trouble, so she guessed what it was. "2021!
She said hurriedly. They are in room 2021."
