Arriving at the Lu family household, Xu Long parked the car in the driveway. He glance at the rear view mirror to look at his boss.

Sitting in the rear seat, Lu Tian frown at the huge house out the window. His mother had called him and said it was important, but what could it be?

"Xu Long, if an hour pass and I have not come out, make an excuse for me."

Not waiting for a response, he opens the door and steps out, leaving a flabbergasted Xu Long behind.

Watching his boss leave, Xu Long sighed in pity for himself. Every time Lu Tian visits the Lu family home, he always has to make an excuse to get his boss out.

Sighing, he takes his phone out and scrolls through the calendar list.

"Let's see..... what excuse should I use... this one? No.. I used that the last time.. how about... no that won't do... Hmm...."

Lu Tian walks up the front door, he did not ring the door bell when it was suddenly opened. The house keeper looks at him and bows with politeness.

"Young master, the old master and madam have been waiting."

Lu Tian nods his head and enters the house. Already knowing where his parents are, he heads for the living room.

"Tian!!"

Madam Lu calls out seeing her oldest son. Even though there was nothing wrong with Lu Tian, she still rush over to him.

"Are you alright? Did anything happen to you?"

Hearing the tone of concern mix with fear from his mother, Lu Tian furrow his brows.

"What's going on?"

Madam Lu watched her son, and her eyes began to tear up like a river.

"Han... he... wuuuuuu..."

Unable to finish her words, tears fell from Madam Lu's eyes and she starts crying. Her sob was as if the world had come to end.

"Mother..."

Lu Tian hug his mother and looks at his father for an answer.

Seeing his wife cry, Old Lu stood up from the sofa and takes his wife from his son. He helps her sit, then looks at Lu Tian.

"Your brother was in an accident."

"..."

Hearing the words, Lu Tian's expression turned grave and murderous. He clench his hands into tight fists and he strides out of the livingroom. However....

"Han was transmitted to the military hospital."

Lu Tian stops in his steps at his father's words. He slightly turn his head to look at his old man.

"Who?"

Old Lu shook his head, "We don't know yet."

Turning away, Lu Tian did not want to stay and chat. He strides out of the living room and out the Lu family house.

He swore that the person who harmed his younger brother will pay the price. To make his mother and father worry, he will make sure that person know what 'worry' really feels like.


"Boss, you're back? That was quick."

Xu Long frown in confusion. Didn't his boss just go in? In less than ten minutes and the man is already out? And why is his boss's expression....

"Imperial Military Hospital."

Lu Tian sits in the back seat and gives Xu Long their next location. He takes his phone out and dials a number.

["Jiang Yu speaking."]

"Commence Wolf Team. Team A and C meet at the military hospital. Team B and D secure the Lu family premises."

["Roger Captain."]

In the driver seat, Xu Long did not say a word. Just from listening to the conversation, he could already guess that something serious must have happened. Stepping on the accelerator, he drives out of Lu family home driveway and heads for Imperial Military Hospital.

In another part of Imperial, Yue Ling sat on the couch next to her Yeye. In the middle between them was a small table with chess game Go.

Old man Ji touch his chin and ponder in thoughts what his next move will be. From looking at the board game, this granddaughter of his is too clever to outthink. All of her white pieces has his black pieces surrounded.

Should he make his next move here? No... what about... no... not there either...

Watching her yeye's change of expressions, Yue Ling faintly smiles. It's been a long time since she last played a game of Go with him.

After she met with Jingxu, she came to see her grandfather. The two of them are the only close relatives she has left in the world.

She stare at the old man and her expression turned into sorrow and guilt.

Although her grandfather acts strong, she can't help but feel that time has truly gone by. Her Yeye has more wrinkles now and his hair is white instead of gray.

Noticing his granddaughter staring at him, Old man Ji looks at her. Seeing how she is still in a daze, he straightens his spine and taps her forehead.

"When did you lose your manners?"

"...."

Yue Ling pout her lip like a child who had been wronged. She rubs her forehead and scoffs sarcastically at her Yeye.

"Is it wrong to look at my handsome Yeye?"

Old man Ji laughs and set his chess piece down, "Alright, tell Yeye, what is in your mind?"

Staring at her old man, Yue Ling couldn't help but sigh inside. In this whole world, the only person she can never fool is her Yeye.

"Yeye.... I want to ask you a question."

Old man Ji nod his head without saying a word. However, his expression was enough to tell Yue Ling to continue her words.

"After nai nai left this world, did you ever think about remarrying?"

"....."

Old man Ji's brows furrow at her words. However, he quickly remembered Inu's encounter at the Lu family home. He narrow his eyes as if reading her, then he sigh.

"Your nai nai is the woman I loved ever since I was a teenage boy."

He sigh again and looks down at the chess board. This chess board was the last gift his wife bought for him before she left the world.

Even her things are still left untouched. No matter how long, he never thought to throw anything of his wife's out.

"Because I gave her all the love I had to be able to grow old with her, I never thought to remarry. My love is only meant for her and even in death, it is Her's alone."

He looks at Yue Ling and he faintly smile.

"I'm not sure why you are asking me this, but this is my opinion. Although you and Shin boy were engaged before, he left because he had served his purpose here in the world."

Old man Ji reach his hand and pat Yue Ling's head softly.

"You still have the choice to grow old with the person you come to love. I'm sure Shin boy will want you to move on too."

Hearing her grandfather's words, Yue Ling smile at him. She had always wanted an everlasting love like her Yeye and nai nai's.

Others may see her grandfather as a strict and powerful old man, but only a few knows the real him. The real him that is strong on the outside, but very soft hearted on the inside.

Thinking till there, she decides to tell him about Lu Tian. To tell him that she found a new love.

"Yeye, I—"

"Chairman."

Before Yue Ling could finish her words, Zhang Yong's voice interrupts her. Both grandfather and granddaughter turn to look in the direction of the assistant.

Old man Ji frown for having his quality time with his granddaughter disrupted, but also feeling something out of place.

"What is it?"

Zhang Yong glance at Yue Ling then walks over to to Old man Ji. Handing the old man a piece of paper, he takes a step back.

Old man Ji reads the paper and he abruptly stands up. He clench his fists and crumple the paper.

Seeing her grandfather's expression, Yue Ling furrow her brows, "Yeye, what happened?"

She looks at the crumple paper and takes it from the man's hand.

Neither Old man Ji or Zhang Yong stopped her from unfolding it and reading it.

Yue Ling carefully read the paper, however, each word she read, her eyes darken ten shade black.

Finishing, she hands the paper back to Zhang Yong and stood up from her seat.

"Yeye, you take a rest. I will handle this."
