It was almost 10pm, when Jia Xue finally walked out from one the interrogation room, and Caleb who had been waiting outside for almost an hour stood up and walked to meet him.

He hadn't been able to do anything right for the past hour while waiting outside.

And the moment they got within arm's distance, Caleb immediately took Jia Xue into his embrace.

"You're okay..?" Caleb asked, in a ragged voice.

"I'm okay." Jia Xue could feel Caleb's body trembling. His muscles are taut with tension and emotion.

Jia Xue pulled away a little to look at him, and between the two of them, Caleb probably looked a lot worse than Jia Xue. And Jia Xue hugged Caleb tightly again.

Caleb had been sitting down and then standing up and then pacing up and down the police station waiting area, waiting for Jia Xue to finish his report.

Earlier on, he'd called his family to let them know of what had just happened.

If reporters learnt about this incident and about it involving Jason Guan, heir to the Guan shipping and property development company and also Caleb Wang, heir to the Wang empire; it will be huge.

Regardless of whether the reporters could sniff this news or not, it's Caleb's  responsibility to tell the family about it.

So, Caleb called his grandmother as soon as he had done giving his report, as he waited for Jia Xue outside.

"Are you sure it's aimed at Jason Guan?" After satisfied, at Caleb's explanation that Jia Xue is fine, his grandmother began asking questions.

"Yes. Jia Xue saw the marksmen  laser,  aimed at his heart."

Other people upon hearing how a man knowing that it could put his life in danger, still decided to save that other person would have asked, "what in the world was that person thinking??"

But not Caleb's grandmother. She had seen for herself, Jia Xue's tendency to do so, risking his life to save others; when Jia Xue walked in front of her car, to save two kids.

And though it might be unbelievable to people, but his grandmother knew that before Jia Xue decided to so, he had actually calculated the percentage of him coming out of it alive.

Both Caleb and his grandmother knew of this ability.

"Any idea who might do something like that? Did you talk to Jason Guan..?"

Caleb grimaced as he recalled Jason Guan's state after the incident.

Jason Guan wasn't even shaking in fear, thinking that someone was trying to kill him. Instead, he became more and more enamored with Jia Xue, he couldn't stop looking at him and praising him, calling Jia Xue his angel and his fate.
