16 Qin's Empire (EDT)

The strong tie that should connect the Su and Huan Clan had completely gone. Along with the cancellation of the engagement was also the number of investors backing out. The Huan Clan should be their utmost support also back out. The rumor cancellation engagement made a huge deal on their reputation.

Su Father was doing all his best to save his company, he had even no time to go home due to some critical reports and financial documents due on submission. Also, he was waiting for a call from the potential investors that he had reached and settled an appointment.

He had no solid connection with those potential investors and he was only relying on his luck. When they were still partnered through the Huan Clan, the Huan business head was the one in charge of dealing with this meticulous works.

As of the moment Su father was buried from a pile of documents. Just as he was into it, he's phone vibrated. Opening it he saw some latest photos of his daughter roaming at the mall. The photo was taken earlier on that day.

Su Mo's mood even became sour as he stood up and angrily leaves his desk in the middle of the night.

The Qin Family was considered the top clan and said to be the existing descendants of the royal family. They were also considered the roaring dragon in the business industry. They have become more successful both national and international. Whenever the Qin was mentioned everyone would be envious of their wealth and power. However, no one knew them. They are known for working behind the scenes and are not fond of showing in the public. Only a handful of influential people knew their faces.

People wouldn't dare to look at it anyway. It had become dangerous being associated with their names. It was believed that this clan had a lot of undercover men hovering the black market and even believe that had secret agents working on the national state.

The oldest head of the Qin's Family was now retired but still active in everyday business transactions. He was guiding the young generation about dealing, although the prince who's on this position was arrogant and wouldn't listen to an old man like him.

Qin Yu was the one sitting on this business empire. Five years ago, when the position was handed to him, he made the company stability more secured.

He was stern and strict concerning the handling of business transactions.

Meticulous and he valued the loyalty of his employees could give to him.

There are a lot of potential threats and rivalries eyeing this Clan, however, as keen and perceptive as him no one dared to be their enemy anymore.

"Dad…" A tiny voice resounded from the intercom of his computer. Qin Tao was half sleeping wearing his Doraemon pajamas while holding his stuff bear. It was already past midnight yet he's still awake? He looked up to the maid following him and set a sharp glare towards her.

The poor made shivered and rattled while defending herself. She can't stop the child from taking a call.

Now that he looked closely, Qin Yu could see that Qin Tao's eyes were closed. He's having one of his sleepwalk attacked again!

"What do you want?" Qin Yu's voice might be stern but deep inside he was only a doting father...

"I want to go to the Master…"

Qin Yu fully knew who was he calling master. All the things that his son had been doing for the day have been reported to him by a source. It seems that his child had been so attached to the mental woman lately. He doesn't know if it's a good thing. All he cares, his son acted now as a human.

He's pretty confident that if something would going to happen anyway, his source will do something in case that woman acted up again.

"It's already midnight now. Go to her in the morning."

"Dad, I want to see master ..."The child seems not to hear him and still acted up.

"Dad..." Qin Tao pleaded again to him.

Qin Yu sigh, If he will not let him what he wanted, this kid will pester him. It's not the very first time that he sleepwalk during the night and pester him until he gave in.

"Hold on, I'll get back to you." Qin Yu dialed his secretary's phone and upon ringing once, he was answered: "Get me the number of that hospital now."

***

Su Ci Yi was cultivating when someone knocked on her door. One of the nurses went to her side bringing the hospital's phone.

She handed the phone to her, signaling for her to answer.

"Hello?" A deep male voice full of vitality answered. His voice was familiar.

"I am Qin Tao's father. Do you remember me? I hope I am not intruding on your peaceful night?" The man on the other end politely said it with sincerity.

"Mr. Qin? Is Qin Tao doing fine? You call me pretty late at night."

The other line paused for a moment then said "If it's not convenient, can you talk a little while with Ah Tao. That boy's so clingy to you that he wants to visit you this midnight. He's having he's sleep talking again and I'm afraid when I don't give what he wants he may cause even a big commotion."

Su Ci Yi felt the others sincerity and replied. "No, Mr. Qin please do. I'm not doing anything now."

"Thank you, Ms. Su. I'll reconnect the mansion's number to you then."

After a few seconds, the call was connected and a child's small voice echoed on her ears. " Master let me go to you! " She heard the enthusiastic and energetic voice of the child.

"Ah Tao..." Su Ci Yi tried to manipulate her voice. Sending qi to her lungs and alter her voice in a way that it could make this child sleep early. It's like hypnotic art though hypnosis was dangerous to mental health.

"Little Tao Tao it's midnight now, be good and sleep. Tomorrow, we will be having a lot of studies to take little darling~"

Qin Tao became dazzled with her melodic voice and obediently went to his room.

"~Good boy~"

Su Ci Yi deals with it pretty fast.

No hassle.

Now then, Su Ci Yi returned the call to Qin Yu. However, she had no idea that at this moment even the great Qin Yu had been conquered by her powerful qi as he became trance listening to her voice.

"Mr. Qin?..." She heard no one.

She repeated.

"Mr. Qin?"

"Miss Su, I thank you. I cannot know how to put these into action. Tell me anything you want, I will surely deliver it to you." Qin Yu tried to return from his reality. Remembering the rumor that this woman had some mental issues, he couldn't feel anything but confused. She's in sound mind and brain!

Su Ci Yi's ears perked up hearing this statement. Then her lips curved while confidently saying "It was really not a big deal Mr. Qin but if you insist, you can give me a 10 million dollars!"

Qin Yu takes back what he said. This woman had something on her brain!
