Chapter 9 Convincing the master

"Why is that? Family feuds isn't that rare now. I'm sure this isnt the first such case you guys have handled. " the voice said as if questioning him, but there was a smile hidden beneath despite.

It had been the first time that they have said a suggestion to the master. They have always just listened to him. Never questioned him or gave him suggestions, just because he never needed that. He was perfect in the job he did.

"Well master, sure it isn't the first case where we observe disharmony among the members, but it doesn't seem right. He is trying to sabotage his own father even if he renounced him, it was decades back. It doesn't make any sense to bring it back now " Zhang Jing knew that the master questioning them wasn't because he distrusted them but to ensure what was really right, hence this wasn't odd at all. They had a reputation and it was carefully cultivated by him. Of course he couldn't afford a mistake.

" Well maybe he was in the right. Maybe he shouldn't have been renounced at all. " the master said further probing. As if he already knew the answer, he already knew the truth of things but still preferred to hear it from them.

" He was in a drunken haze when he called us and even if it wasn't the case, his motive seems to be questionable. " Zhang Jing said. He didn't know how his master's response would be to the opinion they presented.

He knew that the master never considered them any less, or even treat them miserably. But they knew nothing about him. So he couldn't know how he would take it. If he would take this act of theirs as a questioning of his previous actions,as if questioning his authority .

" I guess you all had a discussion about this. " The voice asked.

"Yes master. And we really feel that something is really off. But we just said though. " he added

"I don't question your decisions, Jing. I do trust all of you. If you are giving me this suggestion it must be after a very serious consideration I believe. So be it. I don't want you to consider this case. Or do something about it " the voice said as if he had achieved what he desired. As if this is what he wanted all along.

"Thanks you master. I'll inform them of your decision. " Zhang jing said.

All of a sudden Li jie shouted.

"Master, Chen jia is in love with you. If you are not taken, please consider this poor girls feeling. She would... " the rest of the words were muffled as Chen jia covered his mouth when she heard what he was saying. She never expected him to spout nonsense, not when calling the master. He was a bit childish and it was true he loved to irritate her. But she never expected him to just such things to the master.

"Well now ,this is a piece of information I wasn't aware of. Tell her that she wouldn't want to be with me if she met me. I'm definitely not her type of person. " the master said with a hint of laughter in his voice.

"Oh I'll surely tell them that master. " Zhang jing said and the call ended.

He didn't either expect Li jie to say such things to the master. He could sense that the master had taken it in the right sense. Poor Chen jia, he thought to himself. Poor girl was embarrassed. It seemed that Li jie's final days have arrived. He couldn't possibly escape her wrath after the the things he did.

"You are so dead." Zhao huan said as if in behalf of Chen jia.

But by the time it seemed that he had taken a run for his life.

"Leave it jia, master sensed the humour in it. He also said that you wouldn't love him when you meet him. And that he wasn't your type" Zhang jing said laughing. He could see Chen jia's face turning red from the embarrassment. Even with all this, and the things they had to do. He was happy that he had a family.

"God, my life is ruined. I'm not letting that guy live in peace trust me. He will pay for this. " she said . She could feel the blood draining from her. She couldn't imagine the extent of the her embarrassment .

"Oh the master is really considerate." Li jie's voice came echoed from the distance. Only to infuriate her more.

Gu Corporation

By the time the call was being hunged there was a mysterious smile in Gu jiang's face. Ling Fei who entered his office he got to see his young master's smile. It had been long since he has seen a real smile grace upon his young master's face.

Gu jiang noticed Ling fei entering and immediately masked his emotions. He didn't want people to know everything that was happening in his life. He never revealed too much to anyone.

"Anything else Ling fei?" he asked. He knew even with all the things that was going on his life, he had to take care of the image he kept, and take care of the family business.

"Sir, young miss Liu's health is said to deteriorate further. What are we supposed to do? We already have hired the best professional we could. " Ling fei said. He didn't know what connection between young miss Liu and young master Gu. But he never cared less for her.

"Continue to provide her the best. I don't want to give up just yet. " Gu jiang said.

He wanted the best care he could give it to her. He already knew things were going downhill when his friend Yang Jun texted him. But he couldn't let things be.

Yang Jun had stayed by his since they were kids. He was able to be with him despite the cold demure he showed him. So was he able to comfort his sensitive friend whenever he needed that. He was the one who often visited Liu mei and updated him of the things,whenever he was unable to.

The Yang family was one of the powerful families of the C country. Yang Jun was the second son of the Yang family. Even if he had business to take care of , his love remained in racing. Hence he followed his passion and was one of the best racers of the country. Even if his family had expressed extreme disinterest Gu jiang had managed to convince his family to let him follow his passion.
