Chapter 3: Open the door
At the same time, the atmosphere in the reception room of Eaton Bar was very serious.
The bar owner, manager, security guards, and other staff stood in a line, trembling. Their faces showed fear like something terrible was about to happen.
Because the little prince of Lu Corporation, Daniel’s precious son, had gone missing in their bar.
Daniel sat on the sofa, his face cold and hard like ice. He showed no emotion. But his strong pressure made everyone’s legs weak and sweat pour down their backs. Nobody dared to speak.
A young man was kneeling at Daniel’s feet, crying with tears and snot. “Brother, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have brought Rick to the bar. If anything happens to Rick, I won’t stay alive!”
After saying that, he suddenly kicked his chest hard.
The sound of bones cracking made everyone’s scalp tingle. Everyone trembled.
Saul Li coughed violently, clutching his chest, then stood up, straightened his back, and knelt again.
His parents were on vacation abroad and didn’t know Rick was missing. If they knew, Saul would be punished far worse than a kick from his brother—he might be beaten severely.
Feeling ashamed, Saul stayed silent.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the reception room door.
The bar owner nearest to the door opened it. No one was there. Surprised, he looked down and was shocked to see: “Little ... Young Master!!!”
“Little Treasure ... Oh my god! Little Treasure! Second Uncle’s darling! Where have you been?” Saul jumped up and hugged the little boy tightly, crying bitterly.
Everyone in the room looked like they had just survived a disaster.
Daniel walked to the door in a few steps, grabbed Saul by the back of his collar, and threw him aside. Then he knelt in front of his son. “What happened?”
Finally free from his second uncle’s arms, Little Treasure grabbed Daniel’s hand, trying anxiously to pull him away.
When Daniel got close to his son, he smelled alcohol on him. Along with that was a faint scent—not strong perfume, but a light, cold fragrance like flowers blooming on ice. The strange scent felt familiar, and Daniel’s heart skipped a beat.
Seeing Daniel hesitate, Rick pointed with his little finger in one direction. His face was full of worry.
Daniel picked up his son and walked straight toward the direction Rick pointed.
Saul and the others looked at each other and quickly followed.
Five minutes later, the group stopped in front of the warehouse door on the top floor.
Rick twisted his body, jumped off his father, and slammed on the warehouse door with a very anxious look.
“What’s wrong with Rick? What’s inside?” Saul asked, confused.
Daniel ordered coldly, “Open the door.”
“Yes, yes!” The bar owner nodded fast, then turned and scolded the female manager next to him. “Manager Ye, why are you standing there? Open the door! Where’s the key?”
“Uh ... Open the door?” The female manager froze.
Oops! She suddenly remembered Selena was still locked inside! She had promised Janice to keep Selena locked up at least until the audition was over.
But now, with the Lu family’s two important men and the boss waiting, how could she say no? Shaking, she took out the key and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, a woman collapsed on the floor, unconscious.
