Renewal Of Love

Chapter 532 He Must Be Alive

The river ran westward. The fresh smell of soil wafted in the air.

The clear, blue sky gradually grew darker as white foams of clouds hid the sun. The weather changed

in an instant.

The warm air turned damp. It looked like it would rain any time.

The swirling wind brushed across two men standing by the river. Their hair was messy and wild.

A frown lined their foreheads. The solemn look on their faces revealed that they were in the middle of a

serious discussion.

It was Kevin and Peter. The two were standing by the riverbank, discussing the current situation.

Peter couldn't find out any clue despite several days of investigation.

This man's dark eyes seemed to calculate something. His usual, gentle smile was replaced with

seriousness.

Peter looked more handsome when he was serious. He looked down and played with the grass on the

river bed. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Unfortunately, no woman was around to admire his beauty.

"Well, many days have passed since Colin had gone missing. Even if there were any clues, someone

would have covered it up, making it impossible for us to go ahead." Kevin shook his head, letting out a

weary sigh.

Peter stood up and nodded. His eyes swept across the flowing river. He reached out and touched the

water. "The current might have flushed the corpse away," he said, arching his brows.

Kevin frowned. "Do you think Colin is dead?"

"I didn't say that." Peter shrugged nonchalantly.

"Did you find anything?" Kevin asked, cocking his head to the side.

"I have been busy working on it for the past few days. But I couldn't find anything." Peter continued to

stare into the distance.

Kevin rubbed his throbbing temples. The stress was wearing him out.

It was Eddy's fifth birthday. All their relatives and friends had gathered for the party, except him.

The man who claimed that he had something important to tell revealed that he hadn't found anything.

Kevin's blood boiled with anger. He controlled his urge to leave the place.

"Well, I didn't find his body. Don't you think that it is good news?" Peter smiled.

Kevin looked at him quizzically.

"As you said, it has been a long time since Colin had gone missing. Even if his body had sunk to the

bottom the river after he was killed, the corpse would have floated up by now. Someone would have

called the police if they had seen the body.

But there is no news until now, so we have to be happy about it." Peter took a deep breath and

continued, "I saw the video online. The man in the black windbreaker looked like you. The only person

who would use this method is Kim!

Has it never occurred to you that Kim might have abducted Colin?"

"Well, that has crossed my mind too. But Colin is of no use to Kim. Why would he keep him?" Kevin

waved his hands in confusion.

"Do you think Kim would even need a reason to do anything?" Peter stared at Kevin, hoping for the

man to understand what he was thinking.

Kevin's eyes widened as realization crossed his face. He knew that it was true. They had been thinking

that Kim wouldn't kidnap Colin because the man was of no use to him. But they had dismissed the

crucial point: Kim was a crazy man. He always did the unexpected.

So there was nothing strange if Kim had really kidnapped Colin.

"I think the person you are looking for is under Kim's custody now." He must be alive!" Peter said.

If Kim had kidnapped Colin, it meant that the man had a purpose that they couldn't understand yet.

Otherwise, he would have killed him a long time ago. His body must have decomposed at the river bed

by now.

Since no one had found Colin's body, it meant that he was still alive. Perhaps Kim was torturing him

until this very minute, but he hadn't taken his life yet.

It was a miracle that Colin had managed to survive despite being under Kim's custody.

After all, the man was evil in human form. He never valued human life.

A smile stretched across Kevin's lips; he nodded excitedly. He was happy to know that Colin was still

alive.

Ella had no reason to be sad now. She could reunite with her father soon.

"Kim has made great efforts to kidnap Colin. He won't let him go easily. I don't know what he might do

next." Peter pursed his lips, trying to figure out his next move.

"Have you met Kim?" Kevin suddenly asked.

Peter was taken aback by the unexpected question. "Yes."

He nodded and informed him about what had happened.

Kevin's eyes widened in shock. Kim's unscrupulous behavior had forced him to hire many bodyguards.

However, Kim still could find a way to keep watch on every one of the Fu Family. The man was

dangerous than he had expected.

"But I advise you not to act rashly." Peter sighed helplessly. "If you take action now, Kim will know that

we are in this together. It will only make things difficult for us."

Kim didn't know why Peter had returned to A City. They could use the situation to their advantage.

Kevin nodded. He knew what to do.

"I think it is high time I met Kim."

Thinking of the black muzzle when Kim pointed his gun at him that day, Peter shook his head and

chuckled. "Look how great I am! I am willing to see him even if I know it's full of danger."

Kevin knitted his brows and looked at him. He realized that Anne was right. Peter had turned into a

narcissistic person after returning from abroad.

Kevin couldn't go with Peter to see Kim, and he couldn't figure out how Peter would meet him either.

After all, Kim was a smart man. He had managed to hide from the world.

However, Peter had used the stupidest yet most effective method to find the man.

That day, Kim discovered that Peter had gone to the Fu Family. Since the man had been constantly

monitoring Kevin and his family, Peter showed up around the house and shouted, "I want to see Kim!"

Kevin didn't know about it until later. He collapsed onto the chair and burst into laughter after he found

out what Peter had done.

Although it was a silly idea, it had worked to his advantage. That night, Peter saw Kim.

The man didn't go to Kim's place. But Kim had gone to the hotel where Peter lived to meet him in

person.

Peter had sold his house before leaving the city; therefore, he stayed in a hotel for the time being.

He was wearing black pajamas and seemed relaxed in his room. Peter saw the murderous look on

Kim's face and poured him a glass of water. "Well, we two are neither friends nor enemies. We don't

have anything against each other. Why are you looking as if you want to kill me?"

"Aren't you making trouble on purpose?" Kim sneered distastefully.

He knew that Kevin would find out that he had come to see Peter.

"You have mistaken me." Peter sat down and leaned comfortably on the chair. "I couldn't think of any

other way to see you."

"Why do you want to see me?" Kim barked.

Peter chuckled and asked, "Is Colin with you?"

Kim's face darkened in an instant. He placed his hands on his waist and glared at Peter.

He had kept two guns on his holster in case of emergencies.

Peter was aware of Kim's habit. He knew that the man wanted him dead. However, there wasn't a trace

of fear on his handsome face.

A knowing smile crept onto Peter's lips. "When I went to the Fu Family's residence, I saw a beautiful

little girl there. That's how I got to know about Colin. I saw the video on the internet as well. Everything

seemed strange. Why have you abducted him?"

"It has nothing to do with you!"

Kim snapped.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with me." Peter lifted his hands in defeat. "I was just curious."

The frown on Kim's forehead deepened; he grew frustrated. "Peter, if you have the desire to live, stop

worrying about things that don't matter to you. This is my last and final warning!"

He pushed the door open and stormed out of the room. Peter watched the man leave but didn't bother

stopping him.

He got the information he needed, and there was no use in talking to him anymore.

Kim neither accepted nor refuted the claims. If Colin was not with him, he would have told him so.

Therefore, Peter concluded that the man had indeed abducted Colin.

He quickly grabbed his phone and sat down to text Kevin.

Peter couldn't understand why he had abducted Colin. What could he possibly get from him?

Anne and Kevin adored Ella. But that didn't mean that they would sacrifice their lives for saving Colin. If

Kim wanted the couple to suffer, he would have abducted Ella, not Colin.

Peter felt that they were missing an important point.

Kevin was sitting on the bed, studying the stock report. Just then, his phone chimed with a message.

His jaw tightened as he read it.

Anne just walked out of the shower and saw Kevin staring at his phone with wide eyes. "What

happened? Why are you looking as if you'd seen a ghost?"

"Colin is under Kim's custody," Kevin said in a cold voice.

Anne's face turned pale. Colin was with a maniac now. She wondered what the man would do to him.

"If Kim had kidnapped Colin to frame you, he would have killed him a long time ago. Why hasn't he

done anything so far? What will he get out of kidnapping him?" She couldn't understand the man's

intention.

Kevin shook his head. He didn't understand it either.

Kim was a cunning man. No one could anticipate his next move.

"Should we tell Max and Noah about it?" asked Anne.

"No!" Kevin shook his head fiercely. "If Max and Noah help us, Kim will find out Peter's plans. He will be

in a dangerous situation."

Kim was a vindictive beast. He wouldn't spare Peter for old times' sake.

Anne nodded, but her stomach began to churn.

She couldn't figure out what Kim wanted to do. Why was he playing around without directly attacking

them?

"Anne, why don't you inform Ella that her father is still alive?" Kevin's voice was thick with emotion.

Ella had nightmares every day. She would scream and wake up in the middle of the night, crying for her

father. Kevin and Anne couldn't sleep well. They felt sorry for the little girl, but they couldn't do anything

to help her.

Anne smiled weakly and walked out of the room.

She ascended the stairs and stretched her hand to knock on the door but realized it was already open.

She walked in and saw Ella making a call to someone.

Anne's heart broke into a thousand pieces.

She knew that Ella had called Colin. The girl hadn't stopped reaching out to her father even though she

only got the message from the customer service.

Anne sighed and walked up to her.

"Mom..." Ella called as she caught Anne staring at her.

"Ella..." Anne smiled and sat on the bed beside her. "I have information about your father."

Ella's fingers trembled, and the phone fell on the bed. She sprang up to her feet and looked at Anne in

disbelief.

"Well, we haven't found out where he is yet, but we know that he is still alive." Tears streamed down

Ella's cheeks.

She cupped her face and began to sob hysterically.

There was a spark of hope in her heart as she finally got the news about her father.

Anne sighed and held Ella in her arms. "Ella, don't worry. We will save your father. I will make sure you

will see your father again. It is a promise from me."

Ella broke into a fresh fit of sobs and hugged Anne tightly. "I knew Daddy wouldn't lie to me. He would

keep his promise and never leave me alone."
