"Grandpa was the one who protected Sally?" asked Cherry.

"Yes, " answered Jackson, "Our Grandpa used all his connections for this. He even asked for help from Eric Li and Jonson Jiang, and because they respected Grandpa very much, they carried out his request."

Cherry became silent, and just quietly listened to Jackson's words.

"Sally was saved, but at a great cost for Grandpa.
