Capítulo 46: She looks promising...
The youth did not take the brown envelope, but he answered with a cold expression. "Why should I live with him?"
"Boy, if you want to find your mother, you should stay with him."
When the old man's words fell on the youth's ears, he remained silent not a hint of expression on his face looking, down at the brown envelope.
After a couple of minutes, there was a knock on the door and a middle aged man entered the study room.
It was the same person who picked the youth up from the train station. His name is Sheng, their Butler.
He stepped forward and stood at the side of the youth. He then bowed down to the old man to give his respect before he turned to do the same thing to the youth.
After paying respect, Butler Sheng turned back to the old man and began to report.. "Master, everything has been prepared. The young master's flight is booked for tonight."
The old man gave a nod and twisted his chair to face the window making the youth face his back, then gave his final order to the youth:
"Boy, don't forget what I said.."
There was no answer coming from the youth but the old man could hear his footsteps getting further away. When he heard the door open, the footsteps stopped.
"Don't tell my father that I will be arriving tomorrow."
After saying those words, the youth continued to leave. Closing the door with a "bang," leaving Butler Sheng and the old man alone.
Watching the youth disappear from his sight, Butler Sheng turned to look at the back of the old man. "Master, do you think the young master will follow?"
"If he really wants to find his mother, he will."
Butler Sheng did not speak, he remained standing on the same spot waiting for orders from his master.
"Sheng, how long have you been serving my family?" Old man asked without turning to look at him.
"40 years, master." Butler Sheng answered honestly.
"Have you found the girl?"
Beads of sweat started to form on Butler Sheng's forehead when he answered: "She seemed to have disappeared."
'Master, why do you ask random questions!'
"Have you found out which family she belongs?"
"No master." Sheng answered in a trembling voice.
"What about the Mo family?"
"We couldn't find any connection between her and the Mo family."
Without a sound, the old man twisted his chair to face his desk. He noticed that the brown envelope was gone.
He put one of his hands on his head while the other is on the arm chair, tapping his fingers repeatedly. An indication that he was thinking.
Butler Sheng who was dying from his nervousness, began to speak.. "Master, you just met her once, why are you so interested with that girl?"
"She looked promising.." old man claimed with a sinister smile.
Butler Sheng nodded twice. "When you ordered to look for her, we found out that she's always being chased by the Mo Family's guards including the head captain."
"Head captain? She must have a good martial arts skill that can be used." old man said with amazement in his eyes.
"Actually... Those guards called her little devil..."
The old man started to laugh: "That's just a name for a silly girl.."
"Master, you seem to be very fond of her."
"What can I say? she reminded me of my daughter.." there was an unknown emotion on the old man's eyes.
"But master, do you want to take her away? The Mo family treats her like a prisoner who is not allowed to go outside.."
"There must be something about her."
"But the Mo family only has one descendant and it was a young master."
"Try to find out more. If she has no connection with him, take her away.." the old man ordered.
"Yes master."
