She walked towards the living room and made the opportunity to ask him while he's still busy watching an action drama.
.....
"Hao. I'll let you." Cai HongBai spoke, not taking away his eyes from the screen.
ShenYi was stunned. But she was happy at the same time.
'I only said a sentence and he immediately agreed? Is this really my dad?'
'Gods are on my side! How lucky! Jackie Chan[1]! I'm thanking you from the bottom of my heart!'
"Go to sleep. Goodnight." Cai HongBai felt that ShenYi was disturbing him.
"Hao, Dad! Goodnight!" ShenYi ran towards the kitchen.
...
"Mom! Dad had said yes!"
Cai Sheng was shocked by what ShenYi said.
"H-How?"
Anyhow, ShenYi didn't notice her mother's uneasiness. She thought that maybe she was surprised because Cai HongBai was really strict.
"Mom, you knew it. It's my charms I inherited from you!"
She hugged her mom and ran towards her bedroom.
"Goodnight!"
Cai Sheng stay rooted at the floor. These past days, she really felt that something terrible was going to happen.
....
- Inside the bedroom beside ShenYi's -
"HongBai! Why did you let ShenYi stroll around tomorrow?" Cai Sheng didn't expect Cai HongBai's decision.
"Ah, I did?"
"Of course! Who's the other Cai HongBai?"
"Hay, I was distracted by that drama again."
"Hey, be serious! What if ShenYi met someone related from her past outside?" Cai Sheng was anxious.
"Let her be out for a while. This place was remote. The chances of meeting someone here is low." Cai HongBai hugged her.
"Hao." Cai Sheng's voice was full of worry.
"Don't bother about it. Time will come it will come out."
"Mhm. HongBai, are you okay now?"
"Yeah, thanks to ShenYi and Boss He's commendation."
"Speaking of Boss He, why are you letting him close to our family?"
"Sweetheart, actually I thought of something. The He Family was not close to the Feis and Zhangs because of the industry they are in." She explained clearly.
"So, the Hes are okay with you?"
"Actually Honey, there's something I'm going to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Actually, He MingZi showed his interest towards our daughter."
"Wait, what did you say?!"
"Calm down. I think that it's safer within MingZi's side than Zhang Feng's, right?"
"What if He MingZi's intention for her wasn't pure?"
"We could observe him for sometime. For now, we need to stick on where we're safe."
Cai HongBai thought for a moment.
"But, we couldn't dictate ShenYi's feelings."
"I know. But what if that feelings may lead to danger?"
"She's still a student. Don't push her into those things."
"I know but we should perpare when that time comes, alright?"
Cai Sheng was trying to convince HongBai.
Cai HongBai nodded. "Sleep. We shouldn't stress ourselves about it."
-------
- Inside Zhang Feng's Resthouse -
"Boss Zhang, He MingZi.... left the Cai Residence.... at nearly 8:00 p.m. It seems like he was..... invited over there for dinner."
Since Zhang Feng was eager to know about ShenYi's whereabouts, he could only endure the choppy tone.
'Hiss. Damn this signal!' He tightened his grip on his phone.
"Any addition?" He uttered.
"Uhm, they were... already asleep but, I think... He MingZi left some on his subordinates... around the area." Xi Jin added.
Zhang Feng's grip became even tighter.
'That old man. Can't he just stop?'
"How long would it take for me to reach there?"
Xi Jin was a little shock.
'Indeed, our Future Young Miss is on the way.'
"Speak." Zhang Feng became a little impatient.
"Ah yes! It will took bout 12 hou-" Xi Jin saw that his boss already hanged up.
"Oh, don't tell me he's starting now."
He tried to call Zhang Feng's driver but it was unattended.
'Ai, Boss was very rushed!'
