Adam said, “I know dad, I’ll give Duncan a call later.”
Dawson looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said in a serious tone,
“Adam, this matter has developed to this point,”
“You and I should be prepared mentally enough.”
Adam expression stunned, busy asked, “Dad, what do you mean ……”
Dawson also did not cover up, said seriously: “Be prepared for Randal not to return.”
Hearing this, Adam’s face instantly became miserable white, his lips trembled slightly, and said,
“Dad …… The other party is only seeking money, it shouldn’t be enough to harm lives, right?”
Dawson sighed and didn’t answer his question, instead, he looked at him and opened his mouth to ask,
“Adam, do you know what is the biggest negative impact on the Fei family,”
“Caused by your grandfather being in power for too long?”
Adam didn’t know why his father was asking this and shook his head blankly.
Dawson lamented, “The biggest negative impact, from me to you, and then to Randal,”
“Our grandchildren’s business ability is far from keeping up with the rhythm of this huge family,”
“If everything is running smoothly, it is the same as an airplane on autopilot,”
“I only need to sit in the pilot’s seat to ensure that it moves forward normally,”
“But once the unexpected events, even I do not have a good ability to cope with it……”
Speaking of which, he looked at Adam and said seriously:
“The question you just asked me is completely inconsistent with your identity,”
“Think about it, if you are a robber, you kidnapped for ransom to the tune of two hundred billion dollars,”
“And the whole process of your kidnapping is handled seamlessly,”
“And the cryptocurrency in hand can be slowly realized without risk, in this case, you will release the hostage?”
Adam was speechless for a moment.
Dawson looked at him and could not help but sigh:
“Still have to admit the gap ah ……”
“If your grandfather were here, he would not be so passive as we are ……”
Adam let out a lament and said, “Dad …… Grandpa and Stella are still missing,”
“We have invested a lot of manpower and resources to find them,”
“But we have not found a single clue …… I used to think that the overall strength of the Fei family,”
“Now can it be ranked in the top ten in the world, almost all-powerful,”
“But these two times in a row made me realize that our overall strength may still be far from ……”
Dawson said with a serious expression, “When this matter passes,”
“No matter what the result is, we must improve ourselves as soon as possible,”
“Otherwise, it is difficult to ensure that the Fei family can be everlasting ……”
Adam asked carefully, “Dad …… Then what do you think, what is the probability of Randal coming back safely?”
Dawson thought about it and said seriously, “Frankly speaking, it won’t be more than 10% ……”
