Chapter 193 Keep Their Physical Strength


    "Grandfather, mother, have you got any news yet?" Hearing that L and Nicole were kidnapped,


    Joseph took the first flight back from C Country.


    Landon looked at him and sighed.


    Angie suddenly grabbed her cap and walked out.


    "Mother, what are you doing?" he asked. Getting no answer, Joseph was starting to be also more


    and more anxious.


    With her mind wandering in other ces than the present moment, Angie answered: "I have to look for


    them. I can''t just sit by at home and do nothing!"


    "Angie, don''t bother, you can''t find them by yourself, and also so many people are looking for them.


    Calm down. Don''t worry. Joseph will look for them," said Landon. He calmed down and eventually sat


    down on the sofa.


    Joseph rushed to pull Angie back from leaving to search for L and Nicole. "Mother, I''ll go look for


    them. Wait at home. Please!"


    He ran out.


    Everyone in A Country knew Miss Li of SL Group was kidnapped, and of course so did all the


    employees.


    Harry returned to take charge in his own hands. He had finished all the documents in the CEO office.


    It had been more than one day, but Joey hadn''t called in yet.


    Harry had searched A Country thoroughly in every nook and cranny but couldn''t find L and Nicole.


    Did they leave A Country?


    No, it wasn''t usible. He already had guessed that the kidnappers aimed at the old pocket watch.


    If so, L and Nicole wouldn''t be put in danger before they got to it. He would have to wait.


    The phone rang, and he immediately picked it up to see who was calling. His face shifted at the sight of


    the caller''s name.


    "Mother!"


    Rose was furious at him. Harry had promised to return back home today, but he was still in A Country.


    "Don''t call me ''mother''. I was humiliated in front of Ynda''s mother." They waited more than three


    hours today for him, but Joey told them that Harry was still in A Country over the phone.


    Closing his eyes, Harry said coldly, "I''m busy with something important. Don''t call and get my line


    busy." After he hung up the phone, it rang again, but he hung it up directly as he knew it was the same


    caller as before.


    Rose was so furious that she wanted to throw away her phone to the wall. She had no idea on why her


    son was being so rude to them.


    But Kevin, while reading the newspaper aside, squinted at Rose who started to burst with rage and


    eventually sigh. "Rose, don''t force it on Harry. He has already promised us toe back and get


    married. That''s enough." Spoke Kevin.


    Sitting back down on the sofa, Rose looked bad. "That whore is to me. She doesn''t let Harrye


    back." She should have returned with Harry a few days ago.


    Looking at Rose, Kevin shook his head helplessly. "It''s harsh. She is a good girl. Don''t call her that."

    "She is Angie''s daughter. Do you feel hurt because of that?" Rose raged at these words.


    Both Angie and Rose had made every effort possible to win Kevin''s heart while they were in their


    university years.


    Both of them had feelings for Kevin, but Kevin ended up to like Rose more. However, Angie had no


    idea of this. She still wanted to approach Kevin several times, and Rose noticed it.


    She told Angie clearly that she and Kevin had been in love for almost two years.


    Angie eventually gave up on this thought. However, they joined the same association, so they often


    had to meet for business.


    Rose believed that Angie and Kevin had developed emotional entanglements between them, so she


    made things more different for Angie.


    Thissted several years.


    And this didn''te to an end until Angie married to A Country.


    Kevin was speechless. "It was years ago. Why don''t you let it go already? I judge it as it stands now, in


    the moment."


    Hearing what he said, Rose now remained silent.


    In A Country.


    After receiving the call from Harry, Zoe searched for L and Nicole everywhere but failed.


    Joseph drove to the beach and wondered if Ynda was involved in any way in this matter. However,


    as she was a weak woman, she couldn''t possibly have the guts and wits to hide L and Nicole so


    well.


    Harry had thoroughly searched all flights, trains, high-speed trains and buses, but he found nothing in


    the end. The kidnapper or kidnappers must be cunning.


    Nicole slept for several hours before waking up in the arms of her mother, L, who had been also


    eventually untied.


    "Mommy." Her soft, delicate voice made L burst into tears. She shouldn''t have suffered this.


    L asked her to sit up. "Nicole, I''m here. Do you feel all right?"


    Nicole shook her head in a daze.


    "You must be so hungry. Here, have some congee." The kidnappers gave them a bowl of rice soup.


    Although it was thin, she had already tasted it to make sure it was okay for her.


    She took the small spoon and started to feed Nicole the cold rice soup with some steamed buns. They


    had to keep their physical strength up in order to cope with what would happen next.


    After Nicole was full, L ate the rice and pickles left over.


    Nicole was still in a dream-like daze. She leant in L''s arms: "Mommy, where are we? It''s dark and


    smelly here."


    L held Nicole in her arms tightly. "Dear, no matter what happens next, I''m with you. You have to


    listen to me if something happens, okay?" She rested her chin on Nicole''s head. Nicole nodded,


    making her feel relieved and safe.


    48 hours after L and Nicole were gone missing, the phone rang in the Li Mansion.


    Sitting by the phone, Angie picked it up immediately. "Who is it?"


    The caller used a voice changer. "Is that Angie Gong? Do you want your daughter and granddaughter


    back?"


    The kidnapper had finally called. Angie calmed herself down. "Sure. Tell me what you want."


    While she was speaking with the kidnapper, Landon walked over on his crutches.


    "What do I want? Ha-ha-ha." The kidnapper''s weirdugh made Angie feel more restless and frown.


    "I want the old pocket watch. Ask Landon Li to exchange the old pocket watch for your daughter and


    granddaughter in the ce I''ll designate at 9 o''clock tomorrow morning. If he doesn''te on time or


    comes with someone else, they both will die!"


    The old pocket watch? The kidnapper wanted to meet Landon? Angie nced at Landon who sat


    beside her now.


    "What''s the address?"


    The phone was hung up as soon as she asked.


    "What did he say?" asked Landon. Landon was hoary-haired, old and wrinkled. He looked nervously at


    Angie, but Angie didn''t know what to say to him anymore.


    Landon was too old even to stand it.


    "They want the old pocket watch." Angie didn''t dare to say anything else.


    Landon frowned. The secret of the old pocket watch had been given away.


    Harry had the phone at Li Mansion monitored, so now he knew about the talk of the old pocket watch


    over the phone.
