"Hey, say something.”
Shaun's behavior made Rodney uneasy. "Now is not the time to feel sad. You still have a lawsuit to dispute. The Campos family deliberately made this matter big t o attract the public's attention. If something hadn't happened to you in the detention center, we wouldn't have been able to bail you."
"The police have forbidden you from leaving Canberra.” Chester sighed and said, "What actually happened to Liam? Why is he missing all of a sudden?”
Rodney said, "Could it be Liam and Mason trying to scheme against you? Liam could, very well, be hiding.”
Shaun closed his eyes, his black lashes casting a tired shadow beneath his eyes. "I'm not sure, but I have a sinking feeling that this matter might have to do with Mason. How does Mason look?"
Chester recalled the incident. "When I confronted him in the police station, he looked quite angry, but... I didn't sense any sadness in him.”
"Liam must be f*cking hiding,” Rodney said in exasperation.
"Maybe not." Shaun shook his head. "Liam was pretty badly injured at that time. If he was hiding, Mason would surely get him a doctor. But I heard that the Campos, including Mason, didn't look for a doctor. I suspect... Liam could be... killed."
Toward the end of his sentence, Shaun's voice choked with bitterness. Even his heart ached for a moment.
Rodney was shocked. "Who killed him?"
Chester analyzed the situation. "Besides his disagreement with Shaun, Liam has no enemies. The person who killed Liam might want to use his death a s a pretext for sending Shaun to jail.
"After all, witnesses in the hotel saw Shaun's people taking Liam away, so Shaun is the prime suspect for Liam's disappearance. Think about who Shaun's enemy is in Canberra."
"Wesley Lyons?" Rodney was dumbfounded. "Or Mason Campos? It can't be Mason since Liam is his son.
