---At the hospital in N City---
In the VIP ward of director Jiang Xuan, a woman with pale face was sitting by the director's bed side, with tears in her eyes . She was director Jiang's wife . And their two children were standing beside them .
"Was every thing fine back at home? Did you get hurt?" Director Jiang asked in a weak voice . It had already been a month in the hospital and only today had his wife and children been allowed to leave their home and come to visit him . Ever since the accident has happened they have been kept hostage and were not allowed to step out . Director Juang was being blackmailed and he could not tell Song Jia anything apart from slightly hinting her .
"Yes, we are all fine . " his wife spoke while sobbing in between and held his hand gently patting the back of his palm .
"But what exactly happened dad? Even the goons at our place never spoke a word about it . " The elder son asked .
AdvertisementDirector Jiang's lips turned into a straight line after he pressed them . It was clear he could not speak about it . And both his son and daughter were mature enough to understand it . So they didn't push him further .
"I have asked the hospital for your discharge . We can take you back home . But . . " his wife was hesitant to complete her sentence .
"But what?" Director Jiang looked worried . He knew something was odd .
"We have been threatened to leave the city, and never come back . " The daughter spoke this time, looking uncomfortable .
Ir was already a traumatic incident for them to have been kept as hostage for a month above the situation that their father was hurt and in the hospital and to top it all, they could not visit him . The only thing that was left now was to leave the city they have grown up in which had also become inevitable now .
"Leave the city?" Director Jiang Xuan was silent before he spoke again, "It's alright . I have been thinking about it for a while . That city is not safe for us anymore . It's best if we leave . "
His wife started sobbing again . "It must have been hard for you to live here alone . We are sorry . ''
"It's alright . President Song made all the arrangements for me . So I was fine . Just worried about my family . But now that I have seen you, I feel better . "
"We will leave tomorrow in the morning, I will go and get the discharge formalities done . " His son left the room taking long strides .
. . .
Song Jia has had a long tay of tiring meetings which has drained all her energy . She was sitting in her office doing some last minute work before she could wrap up when her phone rang . She was a little surprised to see the caller, it was Wu Zhang and it had been quite some time since they have contacted . But somehow after seeing the call was fr him, she felt like all her tiredness has evaporated and she felt refreshed .
"Wu Zhang, how are you?" she asked excitedly just as she accepted the call .
"I am awesome . " A sexy and mellow voice came from the other end .
"Hahaha . . can you not be a little modest sometimes?" She was amazed to see how he kept boasting about himself all the time . Seeing that an almighty CEO of an almighty empire boasting so much, she found it childish . . yet cute .
Jiao lili, her office secretary who was arranging the files in Song Jia's office and was standing nearby was surprised to see her laugh so carelessly . It had been a long time since she has seen her boss laugh so innocently .
"What is the need? Don't you agree that I am?" he asked chuckling .
"Ok fine, I do . " she said smiling .
"Are you free tomorrow?" Wu Zhang asked nervously .
"Yes I am . Why?" The truth was Song Jia was not at all free the next day . She had meetings lined up one after the other yet she could not bring herself to speak the truth somehow .
"Want to go out?"
"Where?"
"You will see . So are you coming?"
Song Jia gave it some thought before she replied to him . "Okay . "
