A flurry of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and someone pushed it open, calling out to him, "Young Master Stevens."
Edward Stephens opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged man in uniform standing at the door. He rose from the sofa and shook hands with him.
The visitor was the Deputy Chief of Banyan City Police. The Ginger Group, as Banyan City's top taxpayer, generates billions in revenue for the city each year. Earlier this year, Banyan City's government even rewarded it with 150 million to recognize its contribution.
Government insiders had already received word that Daisy Ginger had been kidnapped by Ervin Osteen. The Deputy Chief, who was on a business trip outside the city, had rushed back overnight, still travel-worn.
"We will do our utmost to rescue Miss Ginger," the Deputy Chief assured Edward Stephens, "No matter what, we will give you an explanation."
Edward Stephens nodded slightly, his demeanor indifferent, "Thank you."
