Trouble

Chapter 46

Author's POV

"Ge.. where were you? I thought you will wait for me here itself..?" Wangji asked Jackson, when he finally found Jackson who was supposed to wait for him in the corridor standing at the corner balcony and looking at distance. Hearing Wangji's words Jackson finally turned around and looked at him, his eyes were full of love and concern.

Wangji was surprised seeing the unshed tears in Jackson's eyes. He walked upto him and held his shoulder and asked.

"what happened ge? did anyone say anything to you? Are you okay?"

Jackson just smiled and said. "Don't worry didi.. I am fine... Just was getting some fresh air before meeting your father."

"O.Okay..." Wangji shrugged his shoulders. "Why those words are unconvincing to me?" Wangji thought.

"Lets go ge... time to face the music." Wangji said and started walking.

Jackson hummed in agreement and followed him behind. "I will protect you Wangji.. I wont let them fill your soul with darkness.." Jackson thought while walking behind him. Wangji felt the change in the demeanor of Jackson, but he decided to let it go as they were reaching near the office room of Meng Yao. He took a deep breath, schooled his expression on his face and then knocked the door.

"Come in.." A voice from inside spoke. As soon as Wangji and Jackson went inside both of them were met with a smiling Meng Yao.

"Father..." Wangji said with still an impassive expression on his face. Meng Yao noticed the blank expression on his face and frowned. But he schooled his expression immediately and smiled.

"Wangji... Come and sit.. How are you? Yesterday we didn't get much time to talk... Aiyaa Look at you.. you are too thin? Are you not eating properly..?" Then he turned to look at Jackosn.." Jackson.. are you not taking care of him properly..?" He asked.

Jackson was about to reply, but Wangji beat him to it.

"I am fine father.... I have been training a lot, that's why you find me thin. Its okay. Don't worry, Jackson do treat me well." Wangji said and looked at Jackson to reassure him that he has everything under control.

Meng Yao just smiled nervously and then said.. "Ha.. Ha..Okay.. come on sit.. why are you guys standing..?"

Wangji and Jackson sat down on the chairs facing Meng Yao, who is sitting opposite to them watching them intently like a hawk. Wangji can feel the eyes of Meng Yao on him, but Jackson was oblivious of his surroundings.

"So what is next father?" Wangji asked.

"Ah. Wangji.. as usual. Always on point..." Meng Yao exclaimed.

"I know, you are upto something, otherwise you wont risk coming here. So it is better to get to business right?" Wangji asked.

"you are right about that. I am gonna claim Beijing back. Slowly but surely. Now we are planning regain the control of Beijing docks, then only it will be easier for us to ship weapons and other things." HE paused for a moment and assessed the expression on Wangji's and Jackson's face. Jackson had a shocked expression and wangji was always wangji, his face didn't give anything away. But as Meng Yao realised that Wangji's eyes were attentive. Before he could continue, Wangji spoke.

"So do you want me to do that? I thought you don't let me do group missions anymore, once I reached the top level. So why now..?"

"No.. Actually this is not your mission. Your mission something else. I am just letting you know my plans, that's it. I already picked a team for the Beijing docks. Your mission is this." Meng Yao handed over a red file to him.
