42 Hello Grace

---In Yue's Villa --

Yue Xiang can hardly wait to taste his Sister handwork, 'Ah, it smells quite appetizing.' After nourishing his tongue with a tasty meal, he turned back to Uncle Wang and wondered, "Uncle Wang, where is Father?"

Uncle Wang quietly evacuated all the empty blows and informed, "Master is waiting for you in his study."

Just as Yue Xiang anticipated, that his dad discovered something about Lu Jia. Additionally, he also has some uncertainty to explain about Lu Jia's past, so he went to his father's study right after his supper.

Inside the room, Yue Yager was perusing the files, which he got from Mr.Shen while sitting on the chair, and on his left side, he had a bowl of soup arranged by Little Wan, the substance was yet hot as they let out vapor.

Yue Xiang, in a bitter voice, inquired straight to the point, "Dad, is it about Lu Jia?" Because, the way he was smiling in and out, he understood that his father intended to laud about this precious soup, and he doesn't have time to argue with his madness.

"Cheif Shen made some investigation from his force and found that prior coming to City A, she was visited by a person from City C and got 50 million." Yue Yeager's voice was filled with disdain while talking about the vicious snake Lu Jia.

Yue Xiang crinkled his eyebrow in uneasiness, "50 million?"

Yue Yeager made a 'tud' clamor, by tapping the table with his middle finger, "Yes, but she trickily relocated the amount somewhere. As for the sender, they met an impasse."

"So the anonymous account in City C might be a facade," Yue Xiang can grasp from this, that they shouldn't underestimate the unknown person's mental capability.

Yue Yeager was on his wit end when Mr.Shen told him about the death of two converts agents (got seizure before hospitalization).

---- flashback with Mr.Shen----

"Yeager, I never saw a brutal crime like this before," Mr. Shen's voice was terror-struck.

Mr.Shen's face flushed with cold sweat, as his voice revealed, "In the hospital, they were killed by crucifixion on the wall."

Yue Yeager's eyes widen in horror as he hollered in a frenzy, "What?"

"The entire spot soaked in blood, and the person who murdered them, removed their vocal cord to silence them and sliced their skin repeatedly to satisfy their desire." Mr.Shen slammed the tabled in agitation and emphasized, "the cut was drawn as a letter allude the name- 'Grace'"

Yue Yeager's fingers tighten in the fear.

----- flashback ends ----

"Grace?" Yue Xiang never heard this name before, so his face was loaded with perplexity.

Yue Yeager walked near the window and gazed at the sky, "Grace, It was Little Wan's English name," he took a deep breath and explained, "Only two persons other than me know about this name one was your grandfather and other was," Yue Yeager tugged his finger inside the shirt to clutch the pendant, "Little Wan's Mom."

Yue Xiang knew his father's state of mind when he talks about Little Wan's mom, so he kept his silence as his heartfelt heavy for some unknown reason.

"Xiang, don't torment your heart while contemplating the past," Yue Yeager's mollusk voice smoothed Yue Xiang's heart.

Yue Xiang moved near his dad and touched his shoulder, "We will protect Little Wan," he declared it with a confidence in his voice.

On hearing his son's warm feelings, Yue Yeager expressed, "I believe you."

---- Next day ----

Yue Wan left for the class early, as she had some discussion with Tai Shu about the drug report. Before heading off, she kissed twice her father's cheek and cheered, "Today, I love dad a little bit more."

Yue Yeager was free today, so he leisurely drank his tea by reading the newspaper.

Yue Xiang came down wearing an office suite for brunch, as he sat near his father, the dishes served before him, "Dad, I need your assistance."

Yue Yeager folded his paper on his side and peeked at his son with his face full of a grin, "Is it about First Elder?"

Yue Xiang's eye flickered in astonishment, 'Am I dreaming?'

Yue Yeager had a habit of wearing glasses while reading, so he adjusted its handle and boasted, "Little Wan reminded me before, not to trust the Elders, so I was already on it." If anyone saw in Yue Xiang's vision, his dad's nose is quite long with presumption.

Yue Xiang didn't lift his head to be mocked, and grumbled, "I am on Li and Wei, so you deal with the Elders. As for First Elder, be more on guard."

Like a tactic understanding, the two of them proceeded with their arrangement.

Throughout Yue Xiang's meal, his dad was expressing his heart-filled love about his daughter kissing him twice as well as she proposed him twice more

Yue Xiang's facial muscles twitched in annoyance, 'I was late,' and then jabbed his fork on food in a grievance, 'I missed my kiss.'

---- Li Zhi(Li Rong's Dad) meeting First Elder ----

Master Li, the father of Li Rong, was not on good mood these days, First, it was his half-witted son, who was adamant in not breaking his connection with Wei bit**h, and Second, he was powerless to break Yue Yeager security, he attempted various approaches to take Yue Xiang's Project plan, yet he can't snatch the shadow of it. Furthermore, he needs to satisfy the First Elder to get his son engaged with Yue Wan.

Master Li entered a huge Villa, which was designed by various sculptures and luxurious appearances, his heart envied at their lavish fortune. 'Once I get Yue Wan, this will all belong to my Li,' he licked his lip, as his face scorned thinking about (Matriarch of Wei)old woman, 'I won't let your dirty blood enter my Li.'

First Elder of Yue sat in his chair, as his servant informed him about Master Li's arrival, "Let him in and prepare a tea," in a disinterested tone he ordered.

Master Li entered room along with his P.A carrying gifts, as his face sneered with broad-smile, "Thanks for accepting my request, First Elder."

First Elder, got up with an assist and greeted, "Welcome to my humble home, Master Li." His voice was neither showed disdain nor admiration, so Master Li clenched his hand in frustration.

After being seated, Master Li voiced out his thought, "I don't like to beat around the bush, my primary concentration in coming here today is a discussion about marriage partnership among Li and Yue."

First Elder's lip bent up, as he conceals it by taking a sip from his teacup, in any case, Master Li, continued his discussion, "This partnership will be advantageous for the two of us, First Elder."

First Elder kept clam posture, he doesn't plan to involve with Li, and so he remained expressionless.

But Master Li's persistence was on the edge of being snapped, he tightened his fist in agitation, and then with a little mockery in his word, he insisted, "First Elder, I knew you are after General Yue army empower." Finally, he broke his last resolution.
