Chapter 397 - Let's play

Since Lu Aotian instructed her to not go anywhere unless she had to, Wan Jia chose to stay in the Lin residence for a while. She would go back to Southside later when she wouldn't be bothered by the media or the public. 

After deliberating for a while, the main point finally sank in. 

Elder Master Zhang was murdered, and Shishi had commited suicide? 

Or was it Shishi who was murdered and her death caused her grandfather to commit suicide? 

The first option made more sense. After all, it was more common for young girls to have suicidal thoughts than for elders. 

However, wouldn't everything have happened too fast? Why did she think it was fake news? 

Lin Lihua knocked on the bedroom door and came in. To keep her sister company, she had taken a day off work. She brought in some pastries with her. "Are you okay?" 

"Yeah, thank you. Aotian will handle everything." Although she was confident in this, she felt useless for not being able to do anything. Partially, she felt it was her fault. If she didn't forcefully buy those shares, it might not have come to this. But if she didn't buy them, the other party would get what he wanted. How could someone possibly create such a sure win situation for themselves?

With everyone taking care of her, however, Wan Jia indeed felt much better. 

Xia Rou even bought her a new phone, the latest phone from the brand she liked. It was a total upgrade from the phone she just broke. 

"Mom, you didn't have to do this." She felt embarassed. 

"Mommy has never done anything for you. Are you going to deprive me of the right to do these little things for my daughter?" 

"Then...then I'll transfer the money to you later." Her voice trailed off. 

Xia Rou didn't look too pleased. "Are you kidding me? Since you don't want to have anything to do with me..." 

Wan Jia felt as though her heart had been pulled away. "Oh mom, you know that's not what I mean, right?" 

"Then you accept it, right?" 

Wan Jia was speechless. 

You only know to trick me. 

...

Two hours after Wan Jia got her new phone, she recieved a call. 

Her cell phone number was private so she didn't have to worry about being bothered by the media. 

Nervously, she picked the call. 

"Mommy...sob." 

The call ended. 

Wan Jia was startled. It was a little girl's voice. Little Jia! 

She tried to call back, but the other party had switched off their phone. 

Without even remembering to wear her shoes, Wan Jia rushed out of the door. She bumped into Lin Lihua just outside. Since she was too fast, Lin Lihua wasn't able to avoid her. 

"Really, your streak of breaking phones today is rather impressive. Where's the fire?" Lin Lihua mocked as she glanced at Wan Jia's new phone that had accidentally been knocked down. 

After knocking into her sister, Wan Jia had a thought. 

She picked up the phone, luckily it was not broken. She dialled Lu Tongyan's number. 

As soon as the call got connected, she tried to sound calm. "Hello, father. Are you fine? How are you and Little Jia doing?" 

"We are fine. Do you miss us?" 

Hearing that they were fine, she relaxed. "Yes, I miss you both. Is Little Jia there, can I speak to her?" 

Although he had said that they were fine, he could be hiding something to not make her worried. 

"Little Jia just fell asleep on my lap. Should I wake her up?" 

Before she answered, Little Jia seemed to have whimpered on the other side due to the sudden noise. Her childish voice reached Wan Jia's ears. "Grandpa?" 

When Wan Jia heard her voice, her remaining tension finally eased. "Let her sleep. Father, I'll call you later." 

She hung up and looked at her sister. "Someone tricked me into thinking that Little Jia got kidnapped just now." 

What a joke. Wan Jia laughed. This style had to be that of a certain shameless person she knew. That idiot could even go so far as to use someone's innocent child to lie to her? 

Some people were too evil to deserve to exist. 

Heh, since you want to play a little game, let's play.

...

At the same time, in Country G. 

"You have gone too far." 

Lu Aotian's expression was so fierce that even his brother kept his distance. 

Lu Shaoting in fact started to think that if he took a closer look, he would see smoke emanating from his elder brother's ears. 

"We are going back." He declared. 

Lu Shaoting sneakily walked in, afaraid that if he was careless, Lu Aotian's fury would be taken out on him. "Bro...b-but we haven't..." 

"It doesn't have to be now. This is more important." His secretary Carla had reported that the situation was grave. Several media companies had their news reporters gather in front of Lu Enterprises building. Employees had to enter the building through a secret entrance and even then, there had to be several guards to protect them. Movement in and out of the building was minimum. 

Aside from reporters, there were shareholders, partners and employees in senior management who were convinced by the news, demanding to meet the president. After all, everyone was scared that being involved with a company whose president was a murderer would make them loose their chances of ever getting employed again. 

Lu Shaoting sighed. This was the best timing. In fact, they had located that man. They were going to ambush him the next day and have him brought back to Country C where they would file a law suit. Did such a thing have to happen at this delicate time?
