Chapter 581 Even The Best-Laid Plans Often Go Awry (Part One) (1/2)

Brian lapsed into silence when he heard that Daniel had escaped from the jail.

He asked quietly, ”When did it happen?”

”Last night.”

”Didn't I specifically order you to be vigilant with him?”

The calmness in Brian's voice was ominous.

”We did, but he was not alone. They executed a careful plan, and the people who helped him escape were very thorough. According to the information we've got, he had escaped with the help of other addicts in the drug addiction treatment center.”

”Okay, I see.”

Brian said brusquely. He had figured out what had happened. He realized that Black Widow was behind Daniel's escape. Since most of the drug addicts in A City got their supply from Black Widow, they were all under her thumb. They had sacrificed their dignity and self-esteem for drugs. Black Widow controlled these drug dependents like a puppet. They would do anything for her no matter what, and jailbreaking Daniel was an easy task.

”Did you inform Eric about this?” Brian asked. ”Yes, I did,” replied the person on the other end, ”but he was delayed by some other affairs and didn't have the time to look into Daniel's escape.”

”What?” Brian frowned. ”What delayed him?”

”The business groups who were interested in cooperating with Dragon Empire's cosmetics production lines canceled their project proposals all of a sudden.”

Brian's jaw clenched and a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes before becoming placid. He answered flatly, ”I know it now.”

After he hung up the phone, Molly, who was listening quietly to his conversation, asked him worriedly, ”What happened?”

”It's nothing serious.” Brian returned without emotion.

Seeing that Brian had no intention of telling her about the call, Molly didn't push him for answers. They continued eating their breakfast, then Brian's phone rang again.
