"Yes, Mr. Fu." Charles' men understood his command. They nodded and immediately began their search for Nancy.
"Mr. Fu, would you like to have a cup of tea in my office? Oh, Mr. Fang, long time no see. I guess you don't recognize me anymore. When you were still a child, you would often play at the Fu family's house. I remember that you were a very naughty child. Once you played hide-and-seek with the young master in the garden. I didn't know what you were thinking, but you hid in the swimming pool and almost drowned. We do apologize for had happened before, Master Frederic asked me to bring a big gift to the Fang family as a token of our sincere apology. Perhaps you remember now?" Dale spoke with fervor and assurance
Of course, Jay remembered all of it, but when he was young, he didn't have a good impression of Dale.
"I was a bit of a troublemaker back then, weren't I? But thank you, Uncle Dale." Charles called him Uncle Dale, so did Jay.
However, Jay's intuition told him that the man was hiding something. Jay knew there was a hint of deceit in the way Dale smiled and spoke.
What was it?
Was it c
ey were looking for someone. Who were they looking for, Uncle Dale?" Charles looked straight into Dale's eyes.
"Oh? Ha ha... People here often go out to buy things and get lost. It's such a remote area, so every time such a thing would happen, I would order my men to search for anyone who gets lost. After all, we shouldn't allow such misfortunes to happen to anyone, now would we?" Dale was still smiling as if he was so sure of himself.
There was no trace of angst, no hint of nervousness on his face.
But in reality, cold sweat began to break on his nape, and a chill ran down his spine.
He was usually so careful, but it was unfortunate that Charles and Jay found an evidence.
Charles narrowed his eyes on Dale. "Uncle Dale, your men never said any of that when we arrived. They told me they were looking for a rabbit..."
"Ha ha, Young Master, you should listen to me, not them. Rabbit... Why would I order so many of my men to look for a rabbit? No, we're looking for a human," Dale said calmly.
"Uncle Dale, is the missing person a man or a woman?" Jay crossed his arms and stared daggers at Dale.
