There was a building near the seaside. On the top floor of that building, there was a single floor flat where it had one bedroom, one study room and a living room. The furniture in the entire house had been decorated with classic Italian style. Everything was there as per modern style, but one couldn't sense any kind of warmth and love.
It was morning 5 AM, a slight brightness of the sun started to spread in the sky, the sound of sea waves could be heard and curtains were flying in the living room. A dim gold light was on in the living room.
A man was sitting near the balcony. He wore a white shirt and black trouser,cold breezes passed through his handsome face. In his right hand, he had a cigarette and in the left hand he held some official documents which he was reading and he had dark circle under his eyes because he hadn't slept from last few days.
A few minutes after, a man came in the room and reported him "President Si… we got our arms back from Mr Robot and that have transferred it to our clients. For the next order of arms, we have won that bit and delivery will be done soon and also we have assigned this job to team A so you don't have to worry".
"Hmm... Let's go back" Si Li said without any expression.
Indeed, he looked very tired and wanted to go back to his wife. It had been one and a half months, she would be worried about him and he didn't even call her once but he had to complete his mission.
Si Li wasn't wanted that anyone knew about Lu Lan. Now he was the King of Underworld, so the tragedy which was happened with his mother, wouldn't be happening with Lu Lan but still, he can't take a risk.
Si Li was in his thoughts but suddenly,
Bang!
Bang!

"President…."

"Si Li....." Lu Lan woke up gasping. Her heart pounding so fast and loud. She took her phone and dialled Si Li's number but it was unreachable and she started to feel uneasy.
"It was a dream… It was a dream… He will be okay…" She said to herself.
After a few minutes, she calmed her down and climbed off the bed and went to the kitchen. She was drinking water, then suddenly she heard someone's footsteps, she stiffened for a second, then she went outside the kitchen to see.
Tip-Tap...
Tip-Tap...
Tip-Tap...
"Xiao Lan…." An old voice came.
"Grandfather…" Lu Lan recognized the person and sighed relief.
"Xiao Lan, what are you doing here, My child?" Elder Si saw her pale face.
"…Grandfather, I woke up by a nightmare and felt thirsty, so I came here to drink water" Lu Lan didn't hide anything.
"Nightmare…What kind of dream scared my precious granddaughter-in-law? Tell Grandfather...." Elder Si softly asked.
"It's related Si Li…" Lu Lan said in melancholically.
Lu Lan saw Elder Si stiffened expression and worriedly asked "Grandfather… When will he be back? It's already been one and a half months gone. I am worried about him".
Elder Si immediately comforted her "Child… Don't worry, my grandson isn't that weak. He will be back soon. It's just that some extra work has come. You don't have to worry".
"Go… go back to sleep. If he saw your pale face, he will definitely be angry at me for not taking care of his wife".
Lu Lan nodded and went to her room.
After Lu Lan went to her room, Elder Si took his phone and dialled a number "Find out where is he?"
