Field's face looked unhappy. He had sent out dozens of people in the past two days, but had not found any trace of Bessie. He was very dissatisfied with this result.
"I'll give you two more days. If you still can't find that bastard Bessie, you don't have to come back! Get out!"
The three people standing in front of Field didn't dare to breathe and slowly retreated. It was impossible for them to have any idea of resisting Field because their families were in Field's hands.
Although the head of the Smith family is in good health and will not have any accidents in the next ten years, and Field is far from being able to inherit the position of the head of the family, this does not prevent Field from developing his own power. This action is tacitly approved by the head of the Smith family. If he waits until Field inherits the position of the head of the family before developing his own power, it will be too late.
The Simon family is not a monolithic entity. If the new head of the family does not have sufficiently powerful means, it will be impossible for him to maintain his position as the head of the family.
Field lit a cigar and turned to look at the man who had been sitting next to him without saying a word.
"Where do you think Bessie went, Evans?"
Evans shook his head. "I don't know. There's too little useful information to make an accurate conclusion. But based on Bessie's usual behavior, I suspect he's been kidnapped. But we haven't received any kidnapping or ransom calls in the past few days, so this guess doesn't seem to be accurate. If we want a more concrete conclusion, we can only wait for more information."
Field sighed. He knew Evans was right, but he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Evans was the helper he had spent a lot of money to recruit a few years ago. In addition to serving as his think tank, he also possessed an extraordinary talent, that is, Evans was more sensitive to danger than ordinary people. He could often detect danger in advance and respond in time when it occurred.
It is thanks to Evans' ability that Field has avoided at least three extremely dangerous situations in the past few years.
As the heir of the Smith family, you can imagine how many eyes he has to keep on watching Field every day. If he relaxes a little, he may not see the sun tomorrow.
"Mr. Field, I think your main task right now is not to find Bessie, but to find a way to help the head of the family share his worries. Now everyone in the family knows that the head of the family is worried about Shen Qi and the Shen family. If you can make some achievements in this matter, not only will you be able to consolidate your position, but even those who secretly covet your position will be quieted down."
Field sighed, "I know I should help my father share his worries, but the problem is that Shen Qi is not an ordinary person. He is more powerful than I can imagine!"
When he said this, Field suddenly stopped and waved to the servants beside him. These servants hurriedly left the study and closed the door.
After this, Field continued, "Evans, at this point, I won't hide it from you. The Shen Qi our Simon family is facing this time is no longer human. Evidence shows that he has lived for over a hundred years. More than eighty years ago, Shen Qi had already caused serious harm to our Simon family. If it weren't for our Simon family's profound background, we might have been wiped out at that time."
Evans was immediately shocked. "How...is this possible? Shen Qi has lived for over a hundred years?"
Field quickly made a silencing gesture, "Shh! Don't tell anyone about this. I'm telling you this because I trust you. The main purpose is to tell you how powerful Shen Qi is. So we can't be his enemy. If we must fight him, we have to be fully prepared."
Evans was silent for a long time, then said, "The Patriarch has been recruiting various talented people recently, and it seems to have had some effect. If we let those talented people take action, perhaps they can deal with Shen Qi."
Field said, "Maybe. I'm not sure. My father really values the talented people he recruits, and even I can't see them."
Just as Evans was about to speak, a voice came from the side.
"Really? It seems that if you want to see the abilities of those talented people, you can only go to your father."
"who!"
Evans was shocked and turned his head to see Shen Qi standing next to him and Field. He and Field didn't notice it at all, and didn't know when Shen Qi came over.
If they had not seen Shen Qi's photo in advance, they would not even recognize that the person appearing here was Shen Qi!
Field was even more frightened and quickly took two steps back.
"Shen Qi! You! How did you get here? I'm warning you! This is the Simon family. If you dare to mess around, we in the Simon family will never forgive you!"
Shen Qi laughed and said, "If I had messed around, you would have been dead. Don't worry, I'm here to greet you on behalf of Bessie."
Of course, Shen Qi would not be satisfied with just ordinary means. He learned about Bessie's identity from Hei Feng, and got a lot of information about the Smith family from Bessie. Just now, he saw Field's attitude towards Bessie, so he naturally came up with the idea of cultivating an agent to manage the Smith family.
This idea sounds a bit horrifying. To actually target the giant Simon family is something that others would not even dare to think about.
Even though the Osmond family was able to suppress the Simon family, they never dared to think about such a thing.
Shen Qi is powerful enough to use force to make the Simon family surrender, but doing so will cause a strong backlash, which is not what Shen Qi wants to see, so secretly controlling the Simon family is a good choice.
Bessie was born to the head of the Smith family and his lover. Her status in the Smith family was very awkward, which meant that Bessie was doomed to be no harm in the Smith family and it was difficult for her to be valued by the head of the Smith family, let alone become the head of the Smith family.
But if Field had an accident, Bessie's identity would change drastically. Even if Bessie had no ability, he was still the son of the head of the Smith family. When it came to choosing an heir, blood relationship would definitely be the first thing he would consider.
Therefore, the prototype of Shen Qi's plan was to let Field have an accident. If possible, it would be best to suppress Field's prestige in the Smith family before the accident happened, and let Bessie rise in a way that shocked everyone. Comparing the two, how could the head of the Smith family not have other ideas?
When Bessie has accumulated a certain amount of prestige, Field can retire and die early.
