At the Shangguan House,
With his clothes untucked, his hair uncombed and the heavy smell of alcohol lingering around him, the usually impeccably dressed Shangguan Re Dong looked more like a madman rather than a respected Police Commissioner.
His friends and acquaintances had been calling nonstop to ask about the accuracy of the news.
At first, he tried to suppress the news by sending out his men to visit the directors of the news channels but none of them appeared to be afraid of what he would do to them.
After an hour, he had enough of the ringing.
"FUCK!" Shangguan Re Dong slammed down his house phone after another call from one of his acquaintances asking about the news.
He then went to the kitchen to get the scissors and proceed to cut off the landlines.
His wife, Mrs Shangguan, was sitting quietly on the couch as her husband yelled at everyone.
She sighed. The whole day had been a mess. The evidences came out of nowhere and she cannot think of any reason why.
After pacing left and right, Shangguan Re Dong felt that his son might have had something to do with it.
"Where is the boy!!" He yelled at the servants before turning to his wife who trembled at the sight of her crazed looking husband.
Suddenly, they heard a loud piercing scream and rushed out to the foyer.
When he saw the maids trembling on the floor with their face drained of colors, he asked angrily, "What happened!"
"S-sir..."
The butlers stood aside and showed them the bloody sight of their son.
When Mrs. Shangguan saw the sight of her son and the stump where his right arm used to be, she yelled out before fainting on the spot.
Even Shangguan Re Dong was shocked by what he saw.
He slowly stumbled towards his unconscious son before falling down on his knees.
As he lightly touched the stump, the tears started falling. Who dared to touch his precious boy?!
Angered, he yelled out as he hugged onto his son's body, "Xing!!!"
Suddenly, he felt a pull and glanced down at his son who was calling out to him weakly, "D-Dad..."
Shangguan Re Dong yelled out, "Q-Quick! Call the ambulance! What the fuck are you waiting for!!"
"Your Young Master is bleeding to death here! If he dies, none of you are getting out alive!"
....
As they watched the ambulance took their son away, he grabbed his wife's arm and snapped,
"Get his friends! Ask them what Xing did last night! Whoever it was, I will make them pay for what they did to my son!"
When his wife scrambled off to make the calls, he pulled out his phone and called his best friend, the Vice President of the country,
"Vice President Luo. It's me. I need to call in a favor."
...
After he hung up the phone with Shangguan Xing, he turned and glared at his nephew who was watching the news unfold on his phone,
"Get your cousin back here no matter what!"
Ye Tian took a sip of his Long Island Iced Tea before saying, "But he doesn't want to come back."
Luo Han glowered at his nephew who was playing with the ice in the glass.
How he wished that the one in front of him was his son instead of that brat he sent oversea.
Ye Tian was the only one who was capable enough to amount to something. It was a shame that his surname is not Luo!
Luo Han sighed angrily.
He was a man who had spent his entire life to build a political career that would surpass all of his ancestors combined and yet, none of his children ever amounted to anything.
All they cared about were women and alcohol!
If he was to win the upcoming election, he had to focus more on his campaign and not on the business.
There must be no bad publicity that would affect his position!
Grabbing the drink from his nephew, he downed everything and smashed the glass against the wall,
"For everything to come out all at once, someone is obviously targeting the Shangguan Family! Find out who was behind it and..."
Luo Han gritted as he hammered down on the table,
"...send someone to get the brat home. I don't care how you do it but I want him back before the end of the month. Cripple him if you have to. It might as well be us than someone else. He cannot be the reason for the Luo Family's downfall!"
Ye Tian sighed lazily as he glanced at the bits of glasses on the floor, "Fine."
....
As he drove home, Ye Tian thought about the matter. He understood his uncle's fear.
In order to get to where he was today, he had spent a considerable amount of time and money.
In addition, even though he had never said anything about it, Ye Tian knew that Shangguan Re Dong had been helping him to bury evidences of his past crime.
As the saying goes, 'Apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
Even though Ye Tian was the reason why he started, Luo Yin's habit of brutalizing virgins was inherited from his father who had been using his power to buy young girls for the pleasure of his cronies.
Shangguan Re Dong was part of the circle.
That man knew too much of Luo Han's dirty secrets and if he were to disclose them, it would definitely destroy the latter's political career and his dream of being the President.
Ye Tian smirked as he thought about everything that happened within the span of 24 hours.
This person managed to kidnap the young master of the Shangguan Family without leaving any trace and within one day, he was able to cripple the power that they held for so many generations without leaving a trace of his identity.
Whoever it was, he must be a worthy opponent.
There was only a handful of people in the country that could achieved that, and one of them was linked to someone Ye Tian knew intimately.
He laughed as he sped up, "Little Kai Xin...Was it you?"
