Frank was sued by the hospital and Hazel also managed not to get into any trouble. She continued following the professor to study Gavin's illness, and spent most of her time in the lab, so much so that sometimes she couldn't even distinguish between day and night.
Noah acted as if nothing had happened. He returned to being his usual light and cheerful self and teased Wendy occasionally.
Wendy really wanted to find out more details about the story between him and Hazel, but Noah did not bring it up. Out of courtesy, she had to hold back her desire.
Wendy had been holding it back for a few days. She did not see Hazel at all, so she soon forgot about it.
After all, Gavin's illness was much more important than idle gossip.
At the same time, many employees of Lambert Group and the media were also paying attention to Gavin.
After the crisis of the "brother-sister love" between Gavin and Wendy passed, everyone thought that Gavin would go to work as usual. Gavin did go back to work, but half a month later, Gavin suddenly never came to the company again.
Some people guessed that Gavin had resigned. After all, someone else had taken over his job.
As soon as this theory appeared, it met with opposition quickly. The reason was that Gavin's office had been empty all this time. If Gavin resigned, the one who had taken over his job would have moved into his office.
Some people said that the matter of "brother-sister love" had damaged the reputation of both Gavin and the company, so the shareholders finally decided to fire him.
Someone quickly refuted this statement, claiming that it was even more unreliable. After all, Gavin and Wendy were not siblings at all. After the crisis passed, their love affair had no impact on the company at all. Besides, if the shareholders decided to fire Gavin, why would they let him work for another half a month?
Every statement sounded plausible, but not convincing enough to everyone.
For a time, there were different opinions in the company. The mysterious disappearance of Gavin soon attracted the media's attention.
Brian had no choice but to hold a press conference and announce that Gavin had a health issue and he was currently hospitalized.
However, Brian did not answer questions about Gavin's illness and when he could come back to work.
Although Brian did not provide any detailed information, people still felt sorry for Gavin-it was not easy for him to be in love, and suddenly he was hospitalized.
Rowdy was the only one who burst out in mocking laughter after reading the report.
Milo was good at observing others' expressions. Seeing that Rowdy was happy, he hurriedly said, "Brother Rowdy, it is the real reversal, isn't it? Although the matter of the brother-sister love didn't bring down Gavin, he still finally left Lambert Group because of his illness. Ha, if we had known that he was so sick, we wouldn't have wasted so much effort to create trouble."
Yuna was on her way downstairs and happened to hear Milo's words. She silently rolled her eyes at the ceiling, turned around and was about to go upstairs.
At this time, Rowdy asked, "I asked someone to investigate into the car accident involving Wendy's parents. Has there been any update?"
Yuna paused and looked at Rowdy in confusion. It had been more than 20 years ago since Wendy's parents had a car accident. Did he really want to investigate it?
Milo laughed and said, "Brother Rowdy, you really had the foresight to do it! There is evidence that the car accident was actually not just a simple accident. Wendy's parents were not ordinary immigrants at all. They also have other identities!"
Yuna was shocked and couldn't help shivering all over.
A lot of people had been involved in this matter. Wendy was just a girl who pursued a simple life, and she must not get involved.
Yuna was still thinking about how to stop all this, when someone came in from outside the door and told Rowdy, "Brother Rowdy, everything you asked me to investigate is clear."
Rowdy smirked and said, "Tell me."
"Brother Rowdy, you suspected that there's something amiss about the car accident. It turns out that your suspicion is right." The man said, "On the surface, Wendy's parents were immigrants to Australia, but in fact, they came from the International Criminal Police Organization."
"In those days, the two of them used their identities as immigrants to secretly investigate our base. Later, they really found it. But at that time, the person in charge of the base was your uncle, Larry Kent, who discovered their identities just in time. When Wendy's parents rushed to the airport, Mr. Kent caused the car accident when they were on their way back to the headquarters of ICPO."
Rowdy's eyes were calm. "So, that car accident had nothing to do with Conor at all?"
"Conor was just unlucky. He happened to be passing by and was made a scapegoat for Mr. Kent." The man added, "These were all told by Mr. Kent himself."
Rowdy nodded and signaled everyone to go out. Then he immediately contacted his uncle, who was far away in the Golden Triangle, and asked directly, "The two international criminal police stations found out where our location was back then. Uncle, would they have left any clues?"
The old man's old voice could be heard from the other end of the phone. "I had my suspicions before. But for all these years, our base has always been fine. Everything related to our base should have accompanied those two international criminal police stations to hell."
Rowdy thought for a moment. "Would they leave the clues to Wendy?"
"It's possible, but only slight." Larry said, "In the car accident, the couple died on the spot, and there was no time for them to leave any clues. Conor didn't leave the spot and the police arrived soon after, so it was not convenient for our people to lay a finger on the female baby. If there are really any clues left to the female baby, the police should have found it and our base would have been exposed long ago."
"Uncle, you're old, so you would rather save yourself the trouble. I can understand. But I'm worried." Rowdy said, "Unless I'm sure that the two international criminal policemen didn't leave any clues to Wendy, I won't let it go."
Yuna rushed downstairs and stared at Rowdy. "What are you going to do to be sure that Wendy's parents didn't leave any clues?"
Rowdy hung up and smiled at Yuna. "We're very experienced in this kind of thing, aren't we?"
The implication was that he would use the method that he had consistently used.
That was to capture the people involved and interrogate them using various torture methods.
Yuna was in a panic, but then quickly calmed down. She laughed sarcastically and said, "Wendy is Brian's and Chris's cousin. Do you think you can really capture her as you wish? Also, let me remind you, this is Arlington, which is a city ruled by law, not the Golden Triangle where you can do whatever you want."
Rowdy replied, "So, we need to make a plan."
Yuna quietly clenched her fists and said, "I advise you to give up."
"It's about our safety. I can't give up." Rowdy suddenly thought of something and stared at Yuna. "By the way, Yuna, I want to remind you, don't tell Wesley about this news. During this period, you can't contact anyone and you can't go out either. Just stay at home with Emily."
Yuna still wanted to say something else, but Rowdy had already turned and left.
She wanted to sneak out now, but Rowdy's order had been given. Before she stepped out of the door, someone immediately came up to stop her.
"Miss Xu, you must not leave."
Yuna thought, "Then let's fight, okay?"
She did not believe that these people were a match for her.
"Miss Xu!" Someone saw through Yuna's intention, took out the handcuffs, and said, "Brother Rowdy told us to handcuff you if you will use force!"
Emily happened to run out of his room and saw a group of people bullying Yuna. With his eyes widening, the little boy rushed over and gave the man before Yuna a hard push. "Bad guy, don't bully Auntie Yuna."
The young man was tall and strong, and Emily couldn't make him move at all. Instead, the counter-acting force caused him to fall to the ground.
The little boy was stunned. Only after a while did he believe that he had really pushed himself over. The next second, he burst into tears. "Waaa-"
"Emily," Yuna picked up the little boy and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts..." Emily immediately buried his head on Yuna's shoulder and cried out loud. "It hurts so much..."
"Young Master..." The man was at a loss, and he looked at Emily anxiously and didn't know what to do. "How about you beat me?"
Emily slipped down and got out of Yuna's arms. He glared angrily at the man who was twice his height, with his hands on his hips, snorted and said, "I admit defeat! But don't let me see you bullying Auntie Yuna again, or I'll ask others to beat you!"
He couldn't defeat this man, but his bodyguards could.
His father had said that he could call the bodyguards to do anything, including beating up those who bullied him.
After saying those harsh words, he took Yuna's hand and said, "Let's go back!"
The little boy was obsessed about cleanliness. After falling over, he felt that his pants were dirty. He cried because he wanted to change his pants, so Yuna had to go to his room to get him a new pair. When she came back, she found the little boy squatting in the corner and muttering.
Yuna crept quietly near him and found that he was drawing circles on the ground with his finger. He said, "You're so tall, and you also bullied Auntie Yuna. I'll draw circles to wish that you'll be shorter tomorrow! You're so strong, and you also bullied me. I wish that you will become an ant!"
Yuna burst into laughter.
The little boy admitted defeat on the surface, but he was a boy after all, who already had self-esteem at such a young age, so he could not accept the fact that he had pushed himself over. He was cursing the person who made him unhappy by drawing circles.
"Emily!"
Yuna suddenly made a sound. As expected, the little boy was shocked. He abruptly stood up and looked at Yuna seriously.
"Aren't you going to change your pants?" Yuna said, "I brought it to you. Shall I help you change them?"
"No!" The little boy suddenly bent down and firmly grabbed the top of his pants. "You are a girl, and I am a boy. I can't let you help me change my pants."
Yuna handed the pants to him and asked, "Do you want to change them yourself?"
"That's what I'm thinking too!" He took the pants and sneaked into the bathroom. He put a lot of effort into changing them, and after a long while, he came out with his pants worn the wrong way and he gave Yuna a conflicted look.
Yuna smiled and helped him to straighten his pants. The little boy kissed her cheek very gently and said, "Thank you, Auntie Yuna."
Yuna touched the little guy's head and sighed in her heart.
Emily was Rowdy's son. If Rowdy was half as gentle as his son, Wendy's affairs might not be so troublesome.
What should she do to protect Wendy from getting involved in these grievances?
