He stared at the brightly lit glass window for a while, then slowly withdrew his gaze. He leaned against the
leather chair in silence and lit a cigarette.
Laboratory gene test comparison, the fastest is two hours.
He can afford to wait.

The deputy director called, instructing Edward Stephens to stay put and not act rashly, "so as not to alert the
snake." Edward thought, I've already alerted the snake.
So it really was lan Linton. Honestly, speculation is one thing, reality is another. When the police told him about
the genetic sequence match, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at the stime, his heart sank slightly.
He stared at the still-lit light, his eyes dark, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, put on a stern face, and
quickly pushed open the car door, walking swiftly into the office building.
Suddenly, he had a very ominous premonition. Earlier in the office, when lan Linton met him, his effortless acting
might not have been feigned. This person is deceitful and cunning, with a performative personality. If he didn’t
have a definite grasp, he wouldn't have cover personally to open the door for him...
Edward Stephens rushed into the office.
The lights were still on, but the place was already deserted.
The office layout was the sas when he arrived earlier, but lan Linton was already gone.
This man is so cunning that the moment he realized he was being watched, he was ready to make a move,

Edward Stephens’ expression showed a hint of sinister under the light. He silently searched the entire office,

Daisy Ginger... how is she now?
His usually composed and calm heart started losing control as he gradually approached the truth.
He finally understood where the subtle hostility and disgust towards lan Linton cfrom all along—this man
harbored deep and twisted strong feelings for Daisy Ginger. Regardless of how he disguised it, hidden in the
corners of his eyes was a covetous and longing glimpse of his woman.
That greed was subconsciously picked up by him, constantly reminding him, without his awareness.
And he was foolish enough to only realize it when Daisy Ginger was kidnapped.
In his whole life, he had never been so manipulated.
Edward Stephens stood in the center of the empty office, his face gloomy, and his knuckles crackling. He
restrained the desire to smash the entire office, turned around, and stood at the door awaiting the police arrival.
Ten minutes later, local police arrived.
The deputy director, looking hurried and exhausted, saw Edward Stephens standing at the door and walked up,
"Where is he?"
