"Xiao Ling.. I heard that you are sick? How are you feeling now?" From the other side Old Master's aged voice came through the phone. There's some cautious tone mixed in his words.
Mo Ling closed her eyes while she listened to his voice which she missed the most all these years.
"No, I'm fine now. I'll come and visit you this weekend."
There's absolute silence from the other side where Old Master was stunned after hearing that.
"I'm hanging up now." she hung up before she lost control of herself and directly stood up to go upstairs to stabilize her emotions.
"You leech.. where are you going? I won't let you off for what you said just now.. wait and see!" Bi Ruixi is screaming like she's gone mad behind her back.
She just ignored it and proceeded to go upstairs. She paused at the last step and turned around to ask the Butler.
"For how many days I'm on leave from school?"
"Young Master Mo, we took leave until tomorrow."
"Call and cancel my leave for tomorrow."
Having said that she left the butler standing there blanking out.
He came back to his senses after some time and thought.. 'Does Young Master Mo's brain got damaged because of fever? Why is he different from before?'
With so many thoughts and confusion he got back to his work.

Far away in country A, Bi Yuhan was seated in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed. The continuous meetings took a toll on him and he felt a slight headache in his temples.
"Boss, you need to catch a flight this afternoon to the Capital." Secretary Chen informed him while driving.
Bi Yuhan rubbed his temples and said, "Inform Grandpa that I'm not attending the ceremony."
"But the chairman says your attendance is must. Otherwise.." secretary Chen trailed off.
"Otherwise? He'll run away from home?" There's a hint of humor in his voice.
Secretary Chen is speechless.. "yes..".
This Grandpa and Grandson duo are really..
Sigh.. but still what's the chairman thinking of adopting that boy? He's a little intelligent but that's all.. he doesn't have any presence or capabilities. He's always quiet and dull.
Bi Yuhan deeply thought about what his grandfather had done all these years.
"What's the result of the investigation?" He asked.
"So far no leads to proceed further.. We can't dig into Young Master Mo's past before he came to Bi family. Sir you can always ask Old Master Bi directly.." secretary Chen reported.
"No, if he wants he will say.. besides my priority is his safety. As long as he is safe nothing else matters."
"Then… we can start investigating from Old Master's end… " secretary Chen probed.
"He'll know once we start from his end. And he's very protective of Mo Ling, so it can backfire." Bi Yuhan concluded.
Old Master Bi was always protective of Mo Ling's matters. Due to this, all the people from Bi family misunderstood Mo Ling as the illegitimate son of his father.
Mo Ling is not Bi family kin and he knows that even though his real identity is a mystery for now.
"Alright. Let's get back to capital." Bi Yuhan knows his Grandpa very well. He wants him to support Mo Ling.
If that's what he wants then so be it.
He doesn't see this Mo Ling as a threat like how his stepmother saw him..
She sees everyone as a threat except herself.
She's an ambitious woman with a smart brain.. that's why nobody, not even his father saw through her.
Bi Yuhan became unfeeling towards this family when her mother died and his father remarried. The only kin he cared about is Old Master Bi, his grandfather.
But now a variable called Mo Ling became the only weakness to his grandfather.
'Mo Ling.. I don't know who you're and I don't care what you're to my grandpa.. but if you become a threat to my grandpa's life, I'll eliminate you before anything happens to him..' Bi Yuhan swore in his heart with a serious look on his face.
