As the black SUV entered the now Wang Villa premises, Chairman Xu and Kiang Leilei started to roam their eyes around the vicinity. Kiang Leilei can't help but gasp at the inviting beauty of the place. It was as if she was transported to a mystical land. The cluster of tall trees that lined up on the sides of the road did not just provide decent shade but also allowed streams of sunlight to pass through the spaces between the branches and leaves. Stretching her sight further into the horizon, she had caught a glimpse of the mansion ahead.
'No wonder Chairman Xu badly wanted to buy this villa!' Kiang Leilei thought to herself as she continued to admire the mansion ahead.
”How nostalgic. Brings back memories, some bad some good.” Chairman Xu said as he fixed his sight to the Chinese style gazebo on the left side part of the villa.
Intrigued by Chairman Xu's words, both Kiang Leilei and Wang Yuvin turned their heads to the old man.
”So you have been in this place already, Chairman, Xu?” Wang Yuvin asked as he tried to read the Chairman's facial expression.
”Hmmm... Yes. A couple of times with my wife. But that was so many years ago. Way back when the Madam Xing was still alive.” Chairman Xu replied as he averted his eye from the gazebo.
Did Chairman Xu mention Madam Xing? Did he refer to Wang Reiji's mother Skyla? The muscles of Wang Yuvin's body suddenly tensed when he realized that Chairman Xu knew the Xing family. He wasn't sure if how much the chairman knew about the family though.
”Interesting. Is it possible that the reason you wanted to buy the villa because you were friends with the original owners?” Wang Yuvin retorted as he stared at the chairman.
”Not exactly my friends but my wife's. Actually, Madam Xing's wedding gown was made by my wife. Since then they became good friends.”
Hearing the Chairman's narrative, that was when everything sank into Wang Yuvin's head.
'Chairman Xu's wife, Lady Tong was a friend of Aunt Skyla!' Wang Yuvin thought to himself as he hurriedly pulled his phone out to warn his sister to be careful around the Chairman.
Unfortunately, right when he had successfully pulled his phone out of the pocket of his coat, it started to ring. Though the number calling him wasn't a registered contact, Wang Yuvin still picked the call up.
”Hello? Good morning! Is Miss Kiang with you?” The voice was from a female who could probably be the secretary of Chairman Kiang.
”Ah, yes. She's with me. May I know who's on the line, please?”
However, instead of the female voice, an angry voice of an aged adult talked back at him.
”Who the hell are you? Where is my precious granddaughter? What did you do to her?!” Chairman Kiang seemed like a wild beast ready to devour his prey.
