Ransacked!!

They drove to Matriach Lu mansion and arrived there at 9 pm. When they arrived, they saw police cars and ambulance parked outside the mansion. Jade rushed Derek to drive a little faster. They were stopped by the police asking for their identity. Jade ignored the police and rushed to Butler Fong and left Derek to deal with the police.

"Miss. I am so sorry, I was about to call you, someone came in and ransacked the place, they were looking for something and they didn't expect I was around, I quickly hid in the panic room the moment I realised I have got unwanted visitor. I pressed the s.o.s alarm connected to the police and hospital and they ran the moment they saw the police. I don't think anything was taken."

"Thank goodness you were alright. I didn't think anyone would be around because of the new year, didn't I give everyone a holiday?" Jade asked with concern.

"My flight got delayed because of the poor weather and can only fly tomorrow that is why I came back today to spend the night, my poor old bones can't take it sleeping on the airport cold metal chairs. It is a lucky thing I was around." Butler Fong explained.

"It's lucky you are not hurt. I rather they took away things that life. Your life is more precious than any objects. They even managed to pass through the 1st and 2nd stage security system. These people are professional. You must have taken them by surprised." Jade spoke.

"Miss, you praise me too much. I am just a humble servant." said Butler Fong humbly.

"You are like family. You must be all shaken up, come on in, I'll make some chamomile tea to soothe the nerves." Jade said as she took Butler Fong's hand and led him into the kitchen. After meeting Derek, Jade had become a very affectionate person and no longer has problem with skin contact with certain group of people. Butler Fong was truly surprised with Jade's gestures. She is becoming more warm and more human. Butler Fong used to view Jade as a robot because of her lack of emotions but he saw what she went through, the intense therapy all towards the road of normalcy.

"Marriage suits you my dear. You are glowing with happiness. I think the happiest I have ever seen you. I am happy for you child." Butler Fong said as he patted her head.

Jade allowed him to pat her head and then she got to work, she commanded him to stay at his spot and not move a muscle. She made tea and waited for Derek to appear. She let out a breath of relief when she saw him walking towards her. She just could not get used to seeing him. Each and every time he would take her breath away. Will he still have this effect on her 50 years later? She definitely hopes so.

"Derek, can they do a clean sweep to check if this house is rigged?" Jade said out loud. She has a feeling it is but not too sure.

"We did, the house is not bugged but we found a few surveillance camera, I guessed Butler Fong entered from the back hence the blind spot of their surveillance. We are truly lucky this time and we caught them by surprised. We are going to leave an impression that we are not aware of the surveillance and maybe set a trap."

"Alright. Have a cup of hot tea, you must be freezing." Jade took hold of Derek's hand and placed the hot mug in his hand. She was more concerned about him than his findings and excitement. She just continue to surprise him over and over again. His gaze melt when he stared at her. Butler Fong could feel the love between the two. His existence has been long forgotten when the two pair of eyes met.

Jade leaned into Derek to get some warmth. Butler Fong cleared his throat to make his presence known, he do not want to witness public display of affection between the two. His wife has long left him, she passed away because of heart disease. Suddenly he felt very lonely. The two lovebirds in front of him ignited the passion in him that had long gone.

He cleared his throat again because the lovebirds chose to ignore him or they truly could not hear him. Getting no response from them, he quickly walked out. Youngsters nowadays, he shook his head as he walked off.

Derek laughed a deep booming laugh. "You chased away poor Butler Fong." He said with the lingering of laugh in his tone.

"It's your fault for looking so breathtaking." Jade replied without any guilt.

"Uncle Fong, you follow us back later, we will send you off to the airport tomorrow!" she said out loud.

With a grin, she asked Derek mischievously, "Did you think he heard me?"

"I heard you loud and clear Miss!" Butler Fong decided to break her bubble. Hmmph, really youngster nowadays. They act as if they can't hear you but in actual fact they did, they let this old bones scurry away to avoid eating dog food.

Jade laughed out loud. This kind of atmosphere is also good. These past few days, everyone was in serious and sombre mode. Not that she minded it anyway, she was used to growing up that way, but since she met Derek, she knew the joy of laughing out loud and she missed it. She did had a few laugh with Mama but it wasn't the same. She prefers the unladylike way.

She turned around and gave him a deep kiss. They started groping each other and could not get enough of each other. They came to their senses when the empty cup that was at the edge of the counter top fell on the floor. Butler Fong quickly came as soon as he heard the noise and saw the disheveled appearance of the two of them. One does not need to be a genius to take a guessed on the event that led to the cup falling.

"Uncle Fong, it's okay we'll clear this." Jade said in a husky voice.

"Don't move a step, I'll pick it up okay, you might get hurt." Derek said.

He swiftly cleared up the broken shards. Butler Fong shook his head again. Really, youngsters nowadays.

Jade led Derek to her room, he was getting excited because he thought tonight is his lucky night. Once in Jade's room, his hands wandered over her body, she slapped his hands away and he looked at her in confusion. She ignored him and started to knock on the floorboards. She let out a yess sound when she found the sound she was waiting for, hollow. She took out a mini crowbar from her closet and pry open the floorboard.

She was excited with her discovery. It is truly here together with the previous puzzles she copied from the magazine. She took out the medallion and hugged it to her chest. Derek who was initially disappointed that he is not going to get his hot steamy night became excited as well.
