"Riiing!" Yibo immediately runs to where the telephone is ringing. It has been ringing for the fifth time, Xiao Zhan was not in his room to answer the call, while his secretary and guards are with him as well.
Yibo has been hesitating if he should answer the call or not but he's been distracted as well because it's been ringing many times.
He exhaled before picking up the telephone, "Yes, Xiao residence how may I help you?" he asked at the phone.
A voice of a man suddenly spoke, "Oh, this is Xiao Zhan's uncle, can I talk to him?" he asked.
"Uh... Uhm.. the boss is not around at this moment, sir, is there any message you want me to give him when he returns?" he answered politely.
"That's okay, I'll tell him myself, I'll call again later," he said from the other line.
"Okay sir, take c---" he was not able to finish what he was about to say when the call dropped. Yibo looked at the telephone then he shrugged, "whatever, gonna finish cleaning before the boss gets home," he said to himself and put down the telephone, he grabbed the cloth he was holding a while ago and continued his cleaning.
.
It was already night when Xiao Zhan arrived. He sighed as he walks into the corridor, his secretary has already gone home and his guards stayed behind in their guardhouse just beside the gate.
When he was about to reach his room, Yibo just came out of the room beside Xiao Zhan's room, "oh, good evening boss," Yibo greeted when he saw Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan looked at him with his usual expressionless tone, "Good eve," he greeted back.
"You're back late, boss," Yibo uttered.
"Hm, yeah, quite busy," Xiao Zhan answered and pass by him, he grabbed the knob of the door of his room.
"By the way, boss. Someone called today, he said he was your uncle and wants to talk to you," he said and flashed a smile on his face, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
"Oh, what did he said?" Xiao Zhan asked, ignoring his smiles before opening the door.
"He said he will call again and will tell you himself," he answered, not being wavered by Xiao Zhan's cold shoulders.
Xiao Zhan nodded, "okay," he remarked with his cold tone and entered his room then closed the door.
Yibo just watches Xiao Zhan disappear from his sight, he sighed when the door shut. "So near yet so far," he mumbled and scratch the back of his neck.
.
"Hello, Chief?" Haikuan answered the phone call. His duty has ended a while ago.
"Has your duty ended?" Robert asked from the other line.
"Yes, chief. So how's the investigation?" he asked.
"I've been observing. I found out that their boss is always at the top room observing the workers at around this time, by the silhouette on the tinted windows of the room above us," he uttered.
Haikuan's brows furrowed, "but, chief, if he can see you all from there how can you call?" he asked worriedly.
"I'm hiding in a blind spot where he can't see me," he answered.
Haikuan sighed in relief, for a moment there, his heart skipped a bit in nervousness for Robert's situation.
"Anyway, I think he's not alone. Someone just came inside the room, I heard the clicking sound of the door," Robert added.
"Please be careful chief," Haikuan reminded him.
"Yes. How about you? any news from the division eight?" He asked him.
"I got a report that the Chief police made them stop the investigation about the heat inducer case, I don't know the reason yet, sir," he looked down.
"Hm, I guess the chief police is either back-up-ing these criminals, or he has involved himself," Robert uttered with his clenched fist.
"But chief, we cannot assume about without evidence yet," Haikuan.
"I know, but if I unveiled that he's part of this mess, justice will not prevail," he said sternly from the other line.
"I will do my best in supporting your investigation, chief!" Haikuan answered without hesitation. Robert had become his father figure since his father died when he was still a kid, and because of him that he became a policeman.
Robert chuckled, "I know, Haikuan," he said, "By the way, how's my family?" he asked.
Haikuan suddenly fell silent, when he went to their house, Yibo was not there. "Chief..." he paused.
Robert's brows furrowed at Haikuan suddenly becoming quiet. "What happened?" he panicked.
"I went to your house, but it's only auntie and Lucas were there," he answered.
"Huh?! What?" He asked but immediately stop himself from making a loud noise.
"Auntie said, Yibo was taken by the mafia because of the debt you left," he answered with his sad tone.
Robert clenched his fist, "It's my fault," he blamed himself. "Now my son is paying instead of me," he gritted his teeth.
"But chief, what should we do? Auntie said since the day they took him away he has not yet returned," Haikuan said worriedly.
Robert heaved a long sigh, he doesn't know that something like that would happen. He always reminds his son to not get connected with a mafia but he himself gambled on borrowing money from them and now his son is involved with them.
"I don't know yet," Robert uttered as he looks down, he wants to save his son but deep down in his heart, he can't ignore the mission he is holding onto. His sense of justice won over his own problem.
"For now, let's focus on the investigation," he uttered, even if he sounds cold-hearted, he knows that nothing happened with his son, 'hope so'.
"B-but chief?--" he was about to retort.
Robert cut him off, "Haikuan, Yibo is strong, you know that."
Haikuan sighed, "I hope so, chief," he answered in defeat.
.
"Hello, uncle?" Xiao Zhan said after his uncle answered the call.
"Glad you called my dear nephew, how was your work?" Yanhao asked from the other line.
"It was fine, uncle. By the way, why did you call?" he asked.
"Oh, right. I'm asking, what will you do? Your parent's death anniversary is in two months," he uttered.
"About that, That's what I went for business this day, uncle," he said and massage his temple.
"Oh, I guess I don't need to worry about that," he said, but then "Hyaah!" Xiao Zhan heard a strange sound from the background.
"Uncle?" Xiao Zhan asked when he noticed.
"Oh, sorry about that, Zhan. My cat is being naughty, I just need to punish it a little," he chuckled from the other line.
"I didn't know you like cats uncle," Xiao Zhan remarked.
"Oh, I really love cats. They'r sweet, cute, and quite fierce too, it helps me quite a lot," he answered with a hint of fondness on his tone.
"I'm glad. Show me some pictures sometimes, uncle," Xiao Zhan.
"I will, I will," he laughed, "Anyway, will you be okay in preparation for your parent's commemoration?" he asked.
"Yes, uncle. I'll mail you the invitation a day before their death anniversary," Xiao Zhan answered.
"Well then, I'll call you from time to time. My cat has been asking me for attention already, gotta play with him," Yanhao said after cutting the call.
