Looking at each other unable to say anything, Hanlu looked at Tian Zi with a stunned expression. Laotian, on the other hand, although he didn't expect such findings, he would never tolerate anyone who would try to target the Mo household especially Daniel and their children.

"Are you sure about this?" Hanlu asked, recovering from his stunned condition.

"Yes, Jordan Bronson or should I say Michael Perrel, is David Perrel's Omega son. He's the one plotting revenge on us. From what he has done until now, in order to completely destroy the Mo Household, he needed to bring down Mo Empire first starting with stealing the rights to monopolize the diamond import here in the country. If his husband. Diego Bronson, managed to win over the diamond bidding in Botswana, my guess is they would then branch out their brand in the country to topple Mo Empire," Tian Zi explained, while both his brothers listened.

With what Tian Zi just said, Laotian tightly held his hand together while in a deep thought. He was thinking exactly as Tian Zi had guessed. He already thought of something like this would happen. Although they weren't sure yet, with how things had been going, there was no other explanation for this. He wondered why that spy months ago especially took the file meant to Botswana Diamonds when it had been classified for almost two years since the company started working on it.

"I always hear David saying his son was the same age as Older Brother but I never saw him even in pictures," Hanlu said, thinking. He remembered long ago David would always mention his son like a proud father. He had a sad expression on his face but when he's given time to have a break from work he would never do so. Instead, he continued to stay and took care of Laotian and Hanlu.

"I don't care who he was. All I care about is to quickly stop his plan. Now that I know his identity, we'll just have to find where he is and kill him. For now, let's start off by finding where Diego Bronson is staying," Laotian said before standing up. There was no time to waste now that they knew who their enemy was. He had already delayed their demise for far too long causing all this trouble to happen to his beloved, he can't tolerate any of this anymore.

"I already have the location," Tian Zi said, closing his computer.

"Good, then first let's send someone for surveillance. I want to know all the details from how many men they have from maids to security, how many CCTV cameras, floors, doors, rooms, corridors, everything." Laotian ordered, making both Hanlu and Tian Zi nod at the command. Suddenly their blood started to boil in excitement. For Tian Zi, this had been his first time joining in an actual enemy encounter. For the past 2 years, he had just been behind his computer. He knew his eldest brother wouldn't appoint him to be on the field since he didn't have proper training unlike his older brother Hanlu but all of this still excites him.

"And you, you better catch the kidnapper," Laotian shifted his attention to Hanlu and glared at him.

"Yes, of course. I'll get it done as soon as possible," Hanlu replied excitedly. It has been such a long time since anyone has offended their power. He couldn't stop his blood from boiling in excitement.

"You cannot help pursue Jordan Bronson unless you find the kidnapper," Laotian added and as soon as Hanlu heard that, he quickly pouted feeling this condition was being too unfair.

"What? Aldrin isn't here you know. Who do you think will manage all of this if not me?" Hanlu complained. He was sure that with Daniel not wanting to see his older brother plus him being injured, there was no way the Alpha could lead this mission unless he did it.

"I will do it," Laotian said, earning a quick frown from Hanlu. He doesn't want Hanlu to be distracted from finding that dead man.

"Ha!? Are you out of your mind? You're injured and Daniel doesn't want to see you. Shouldn't you just focus on courting him and explain everything rather than leading this mission where you can be hurt and worry Daniel further? You know, even if Daniel doesn't want to see you, I'm sure he's still hoping for you to go to him but before that you should cure your injury and not join in some reckless activities," Hanlu scolded, pointing his finger at Laotian.

"Y-You! That injury is really affecting your brain. Why are you suddenly turning stupid? You always carefully think things through and weigh all your priorities. Right now, your top priority is Daniel and how to make him understand our line of work, you shouldn't engage in a fight where you are at a disadvantage. Even if you're strong, with that injury you're only sending yourself into your deathbed," Hanlu added, before panting heavily at the amount of words he just let out.

Meanwhile, Laotian couldn't help but agree to his younger brother. But he still doesn't want Hanlu to be distracted from looking at that man. That man was the reason why he should now reveal his identity to Daniel when he was planning to do it when the twins were out and Daniel had recovered. Daniel's pregnancy was already difficult to begin with and that kidnapper worsened his condition. He could never forgive that man and he wants him to suffer before he kills him himself.

"Then Tian Zi will lead this for now," Laotian said after thinking everything through. It's just a simple surveillance. Tian Zi didn't have to go on the field so he'll be safe.

"Whuuuut!? ARE YOU INSANE!? He's our baby brother! He even gets sick when a mosquito bites him. No. No. I will not allow it. Tian Zi is stupid, how can you give him this task?" As soon as Hanlu heard Laotian mentioning Tian Zi, Hanlu wasn't able to stop himself from shouting. In his eyes Tian Zi had always been that little boy who keeps on making trouble with him and Laotian just so they would notice him. He could never allow Tian Zi enter something this dangerous.

"Tian Zi isn't a child anymore, Hanlu," Laotian replied, there is now a frown in his face as well. Indeed when Tian Zi was little, a mosquito bite would always give him fever that is why everyone had been so protective of him including Hanlu himself. But Tian Zi isn't little anymore and all this time he has been proving himself that he's capable of leading. Of course, Laotian understands that this mission is dangerous but who said he would let Tian Zi be hurt? It's not like this was a raid where anyone could get hurt. It's just a simple surveillance. Tian Zi could even do that with his computer as long as they could hack on their enemy's security system.

"I'll do it," Hanlu was still convincing Laotian to let him lead this task when Tian Zi suddenly said he could do it. He glared at Hanlu and later snorted. He has a lot of confidence in him and even more so when Laotian suddenly entrusted him this task. Beside this job wasn't a raid, he could get the information he needed as long as someone could successfully infiltrate the enemy's base and plant his bug into their security system. Laotian knew this, that's maybe why he chose him. Laotian also knew he wouldn't be hurt so he was the best choice for the time being.

Ever since he was little, Hanlu was the closest to him. Even though it didn't look like it, Hanlu actually was the one who spoils him the most by buying him the things he wanted and making sure he wouldn't get hurt. As embarrassing as it was to remember, he also knew Hanlu was the one who always visited him in his room whenever he got sick back then. Back then Tian Zi liked it but as he grew older, he started hating the fact that Hanlu still treats him like a weak baby that's why he challenged him with almost everything including getting their eldest brother's attention.

"Hanlu is just jealous that eldest brother is relying on me. You were busy with your wife and eldest brother and I had become closer. And you're the stupid one. I'm almost as big as you. No one would see me as weak," Tian Zi said, crossing his arm.

"Y-You unfilial little brother, I'm not competing with older brother's attention here. This is something you shouldn't even enter. Why aren't you even in school? Are you even studying properly?" Hanlu said, putting his hands on his side. Tian Zi on the other hand, just rolled his eyes. Even if he doesn't go to school, he could still pass it.

"Look who's talking, as if you went you school when you were the one studying,"

"Haa? My case was different because I'm smart unlike you who's stupid, couldn't even get a high grade," Hanlu backfired. Meanwhile at the side, Laotian listened to the two argue about something irrelevant at this sensitive time when a painful headache creeped inside his head, and so without saying anything, he left the two still barking at each other. Between Tian Zi and Hanlu, Laotian really couldn't choose.

"Whatever, it's not like I would go face to face with the enemy," Tian Zi said at the end, having enough of this argument. He raised his hand as if shooing Hanlu before he left as well leaving the Alpha all alone in the room still had a lot to say.

"I still have a lot to say to you young man," Hanlu yelled but in the end, Tian Zi didn't listen, making him groan in frustration. If he knew Tian Zi was interested in something like this, then he shouldn't have stopped their father when he once decided to train Tian Zi at 9 years old. At least that way, Tian Zi wouldn't be that weak against an enemy encounter.

At the same time, Laotian walked to his room, planning to follow the doctor's advice. He lay on his bed and closed his eyes but 10 minutes had passed and he still wasn't able to fall asleep. It was the same when he was in Africa, he couldn't sleep as well. That's why he tried to tire himself out by working but no matter how much he worked, he still couldn't fall asleep.

Having enough of the feeling of unable to fall asleep, he got off of his bed and thought. The reason why he couldn't fall asleep was probably because he hasn't seen Daniel even when he's already back. Unless he sees Daniel today, even just afar, he would never recover from this insomnia.

After he finally decided, Laotian called someone to prepare the car. If he stays at the base and continues to force himself to fall asleep, nothing will ever happen and he will never recover from this annoying condition. Right now, Daniel was the only one that could cure him even if the Omega doesn't want to see him.

"Michael C. Hospital," Laotian said in his usual monotonic tone as he was about to step inside his car.

"Brother! Brother! Where are you going?" Hanlu called from afar when he found out that his older brother was going out.

"To see Daniel," Laotian simply replied, stepping inside the car but as he was about to close the door, Hanlu quickly held it.

"Ahh, seriously. You're very stubborn… Okay, I'm coming with you," Hanlu said after frowning. Even if he scolds the older Alpha again, Hanlu knew Laotian wouldn't listen. He had always been the most stubborn in the Mo Family.

"Hmmm," having no choice, Laotian let Hanlu ride the car with him.

"If mother scolds you, be sure to tell her I tried my best to stop you," Hanlu said, crossing his arms. It was not long after that they trailed the way towards Michael C. Hospital.
