Zhou Jingtao's Residence.
The thick aroma of Zhou Jingtao's unfinished coffee made him frown. Its bitter taste lingered in his mouth, reminding him of Zhou Jingren's message a few hours back.
He swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple bobbed as he stared at his phone. For the umpteenth time, he read the text message. His hand trembled.
"They have Lanying." He whispered. He stood from his seat and started to pace in his study. Zhou Jingren is coming for him and is using his daughter as leverage. He bit his lips as he continued to ponder about Zhou Jingren's words when he called him. "Why?" he asked himself. "Why me?" Zhou Kang was the one who targeted Zhou Jingren and his mother as well as his father. Why would he punish him first instead of that crazy Zhou Kang?
Moreover, Zhou Jingren was also using his daughter to get to him! How could he involve Lanying in all this?
