Caleb couldn't believe it. What in the world is he doing here again? At the Sanlitun Chaoyang, Beijing Precint Police Station? Wait. Yes.

He brought Jia Xue for the demonstration on what had actually happened in the small room, on the day he was kidnapped, a few days ago.

#########

The whole family came the next day to see Jia Xue. They were informed about Jia Xue's return the night before, but they knew, Caleb needed the time to be together with Jia Xue more.

He had been beside himself with worry and fear the whole day. The only thing he needed then was Jia Xue by his side. So, no matter how much the family wanted to see Jia Xue, they knew they couldn't see him that night.

It was quiet a reunion; with both Mrs Wang and Caryn crying their heart out while hugging Jia Xue. Madam Wang although teary eyed, was composed as usual. Caleb's father and brother in law hugged Jia Xue too, expressing their thankfulness that he's safe.

"We would be putting the men permanently on guard at Jia Xue's grandmother's house." Mr Wang said, as he and Caleb talked with only the two of them, in the study room.

"Thank you.." Caleb nodded, he had been worrying about her. After Jia Xue's abduction's yesterday and he had called Jia Xue's grandmother to ask her to come to Beijing, but because he couldn't tell her why he wanted her to come; Jia Xue's grandmother refused.

"It's fruit picking season now. I can't possibly come and visit at this time, Caleb..I'll come after the fruit season.." Jia Xue's grandmother said.

"I'll send over some men, then, to help you at the orchard..Jia Xue and I are so busy right now, il feeling guilty for leaving you with the hard work.."

"Oh..that wouldn't be necessary though..there are supplies of labour in the village..we have youngsters here who had always worked part time during fruit season.."

But Caleb wasn't actually giving her a choice, and the men he's sending aren't just labourer, they're trained bodyguards. Caleb needed to take safeguard her safety too. Caleb felt that everybody close to the Wang family, bear the risk of being targeted.

"Oh..Gran. I insist..please. I won't feel relieved until you agree.." so he really didn't want Jia Xue's grandmother to stay there alone.

Jia Xue's grandmother sighed and then gave in, "alright..alright...hmmm..Even though you don't have to..but if you insist then..okay..."

Caleb breathed in, deeply relieved.

"They'll arrive tomorrow morning." He said. And then he called his father to help him with the matter.

Mr Wang had put bodyguards around their family house and also his sister's home yesterday. He had also increased the number of security personnels in every facility they owned. The Wang family had never felt the need to use so much security force before; but now. After what happened yesterday, it looked like they couldn't be so careless anymore.
