From the moment he stepped down as CEO to his arrival in the city Liu Heng had been waiting for a phone call. This call could either be from his father or his mother or perhaps from any random relative from the Liu family who happened to be nearby.

However what Liu Heng didn't expect was that the first phone call from the Liu family would be from his grandfather's most trusted secretary.

The secretary had been by his grandfather's side for thirty years and was extremely loyal to the Liu family. The call was both sincere and concise: "Your grandfather already knows about your resignation as CEO. The situation has escalated with rumors circulating that you no longer want anything to do with the Liu family's assets and want to cut off all ties. Your grandfather got so angry this morning that he ended up in the hospital. It's best for you and Little Master Dou Sha to come back. This incident has caused quite a stir."

The secretary's call came in first even before Liu Heng's family. After hanging up Liu Heng's father called and scolded him harshly while his mother was equally serious on the phone telling him to bring Dou Sha back home as soon as possible. Although his grandfather wasn't seriously ill being at an old age Dou Sha was his beloved grandson. Seeing him might help ease his anger.

After hanging up the phone Liu Heng drove to the kindergarten to pick up Dou Sha informed the nursery teacher about the situation and then immediately headed to the Wang Yin Cheng press office. Although he was in a hurry he couldn't leave without explaining the situation properly. Liu Heng's mind was clear now as some members of the Liu family were never on good terms. This incident was deliberately playing on their weaknesses and presenting a case before his grandfather.

He needed time to handle this situation but he couldn't afford to be disorganized.

Wang Yin Cheng received the call and arrived at the press office. As he opened the passenger seat door he was astonished to see Dou Sha in the back seat. Dou Sha couldn't understand what was happening but he had heard his father saying they would be going back to their hometown for several days. Feeling upset at the thought of not being able to see his Da Chengzi for so many days Dou Sha pouted and extended his hand wanting a hug from Wang Yin Cheng.Wang Yincheng sat in the back and held the child on his lap looking at Liu Heng in front of him. He asked "What's going on? Did Dou Sha not go to school today?"

Dou Sha muttered "No way! Dad went to school to pick me up!"

Liu Heng with a serious tone said from the front "Dou Sha, Dad need to talk to Chengzi."

Dou Sha obediently closed his mouth.

Wang Yincheng asked in confusion "What happened?" He could clearly feel that Liu Heng's aura was completely different from before as if he had fully opened up facing some kind of major challenge.

Liu Heng explained "Leaving Huarong was my own decision. The news was leaked to my family through someone reliable in the board of directors. The excuse was that I wanted to take some time off recently and Liu Yi is temporarily taking care of the company's affairs. After some time we can discuss further. After all the resignation letter I submitted to Huarong was only temporary. But this morning I don't know who said what and Dou Sha's great-grandfather was hospitalized so we have to go back for a few days."

Wang Yincheng understood. The frequent problems with Huarong before were all internal disputes within the Liu family. The matter had just settled but now Liu Heng had been caught in a trap. After all Liu Heng only wanted to stay away from the family business not cut off contact with his family. Business could be abandoned but family was always family.

"I understand Wang Yincheng nodded then lowered his head to look at Dou Sha and gently touched the child's face. He said "Dou Sha you have to be well-behaved when you go back okay? Great-grandfather is sick so you need to make Great-grandfather happy."
