Deep Water Bay, inside a private villa.
Zhao Quan's father, Zhao Quan, hung up the phone with a gloomy face, his expression extremely ugly. He had just received a call from Huang Yuanzheng who had scolded him harshly, making him furious. Yet, he dared not retaliate, and this frustration ignited a fire of rage within him.
"What's wrong? You look terrible. Did something happen?"
Just then, a beautiful woman dressed in pajamas came downstairs and sat next to Zhao Quan, gently resting her head on his shoulder.
This woman was named Zhuge Ling, Zhao Quan's lover and also his strategist.
"Something did happen. Huang Yuanzheng just called me and said that Lin'er has captured a valuable guest of the Huang Family. He demanded that I immediately call Lin'er to release the hostage, or else he would not treat our Zhao Family lightly and would crush us with his forces." Feeling the fragrance from the woman, Zhao Quan's face softened slightly as he slowly began to speak.
