Chapter 28 - Chapter twenty eight: Chen's intention has been exposed

Micheal wondered what happened between the three of them. Why would Chen insisted that he is the one to kill Charles. "Charles did anything bad happened between three of them?" He asked. Charles sighed, "it's a long story". " l have the time to listen?" Micheal sighed. " I'll just cut it short, you can ask for details later. Back then, my dad and uncle Chen were good friends and business partners. Untill one day , they both got a contract worth fifty million dollars with a big company. My father wants to claim a larger share of the profit because he was the one who brought the opportunity. But my uncle didn't like that. He and my father fought and argue about it for a while. Then my father died, my mother thinks that it was my Uncle Charles who killed him so that he could have the whole profit to himself. As for him and your dad, well the issue between them is more complicated. It's a love triangle. Uncle Chen once had a relationship with your mom, but then they broke up and then your mom met your dad, and they fell in love. Uncle Chen wanted her back but your mom didn't want him anymore. Ever since, Uncle Chen has always blamed Uncle Shawn for it , and even sometimes blames him for giving him misfortunes ." Charles explained. "Misfortunes? What misfortunes?" Micheal asked. " My dad told me that , uncle Chen and uncle Shawn once worked together in a small company. And that uncle Shawn got more good opportunities than uncle Chen . So he got jealous and disliked your dad, so when your mom chose your dad over him it got worse. " I see he hates me because of my dad and wants to punish me by pushing me to do something l would regret for the rest of my life." Micheal thought out loud. ."what are you saying ?" Charles asked. Micheal looked at him , " he almost made me kill you" he said. Charles froze. Micheal decided to tell him everything. But still left out some part.

Martha who was at the door heard everything. She immediately left the house and called her boss. Chen: is it done. Martha: why didn't you tell me that Micheal is your nephew. Chen:no he isn't, he is Shawn's son. Martha: what's the difference. Chen: it is different. Martha: why would you do that?, You killed Charles father, and now you want to kill his son, and even almost made his nephew carry out the assassination. Tell me why would you do that. Chen: what makes you think that l was the one who killed his father. Martha: who else could have done it. Chen scoffed. Chen: for you to have find out the truth, that only means that both of them have found out too. Martha: after Micheal , would the next one be me?, There was a long silence at the other end and Martha took it as a yes. Martha : if that is the case, then l quit. And with that she hanged up. Chen made a deep sigh and called his lackeys to kill her, and his nephews.

As Martha was walking towards her car she passed by the assassin that was sent to kill her. She saw the customized abacus ear pod in his ear, but before she could react, the man stabbed her. Luckily she was a bit fast so it wasn't deep. The man tried to stab her again but she was quick to dodge, the both them began to fight. Later, Martha got the upper and stabbed in his bowels. She quickly left the scene and drove to the hospital, she was losing a lot of blood. By the time she got to the hospital she lost her consciousness. Luckily she managed to open the door, a doctor who was going home saw her and quickly rushed her in.

After Micheal explained everything to Charles. They both decided to go somewhere far to complete the story. They packed a few things with them . Charlie didn't tell his mom about what happened, he just told her that they were going on an important field trip. And his mother didn't press any further . He kissed her good bye and left the house together with Micheal . Both of them went to a deserted library very far away. Micheal took a lot of small thick plastic balls with him, just in case if Chen's lackeys finds them. They went upstairs. Charles brought out his laptop , while Micheal stand by the window to keep a look out .
