Stanley nced at the screen-it was an unknown number,


    Zayn leaned in, curious. "I haven''t seen this number before. Who calling you?"


    Stanley frowned, uncertain. He picked up the phone and pressed the button to answer. Soon, a clear, familiar voies came through.


    "Hi, Mr. Hawk. It''s me, Wendy."


    Wendy?


    Stanley froze. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected Wendy to call him. She had changed her number long ago, years ago


    -three years, to be exact.


    He thought she was already on a ne far away, yet here she was, calling him. The surprise filled him with a rush of hope.


    He gripped the phone tightly, voice trembling with excitement. "Have you left?"


    "I nned to leave, but something happened. Someone took Be and Mrs. Ang!"


    Taken?


    Stanley sprang to his feet, his voice sharp and fierce. "What did you say? Who took them?"


    Wendy recounted everything that had happened at the airport. Without hesitation, Stanley said, "Wait for me there. I''ming now!"


    Zayn nced at Stanley. "Are Miss Be and Mrs. Ang in danger?"


    Stanley''s eyes darkened like storm clouds. "I can''t believe someone actually kidnapped my people on my turf. I''ll find them and teach them a lesson!"


    At the airport, Wendy and the maid waited anxiously for Stanley. Soon, he arrived, his tall, handsome figure cutting through the cold wind. The sharp chill seemed to follow him like an invisible force.


    "Wendy!" he called out.


    Wendy stood quickly, relief flooding her face. "You came! You have to save Be and Mrs. Ang."


    Stanley looked into her eyes, seeing the fear and panic there. "Just leave it to me.''


    Zayn stepped forward. "I''ve already sent someone to check the airport surveince.''


    Stanley nodded. "Did they find the footage? The whole airport should be covered."


    Zayn''s face tightened. "I did check, but all the cameras around the airport malfunctioned today. The footage is gone."


    Wendy frowned, disbelief washing over her. The cameras breaking down at such a critical moment? That couldn''t be a


    coincidence.


    She looked at Stanley. "There''s no way this was idental. I think someone tampered with the surveince."


    Stanley''s expression hardened. "This is the central airport in the Capital. It''s no small feat to hack these cameras. This wasn''t an ident-someone nned this. They meant to kidnap Be."


    Wendy nodded grimly. “Exactly! Those men came for Be. Mrs. Ang was caught because she tried to protect her. But I can''t imagine who would want to take Be."


    Stanley''s eyes locked on Wendy. "Have you made enemies? Anyone you might''ve upset?"


    Wendy shook her head. "I just arrived in the Capital. I haven''t offended anyone here"


    Stanley''s gare sharpened. "What about Samuel?"


    Wendy blinked, confused by the sudden question.


    Stanley exined, "Samuel is Be''s father. If he made an enemy hey might''ve targeted Be to get to him."


    Wendy remained silent for a moment.


    She shook her head again. "No, that''s impossible."


    ***$


    Stanley paused for a few seconds, then said with cold certainty, "is is the Capital. My mother was taken too. With her


    involved, they wouldn''t act recklessly. They''d reach out to us first. We just need to wait."


    Wendy''s voice trembled. "Wait? What if they never reach out? Be''s only three years old-she''s still a baby! She''s never been away from me before. I''m worried about her!"
