Then
,
feeling
that
such
arrangements were
overly
conscious
,
he
explained
,
“
It
‘s
been
a long
time
since
we last
visited
the
Eastland
branch
office
.
Let
‘
s
go
and
see
how
efficient
their
work
is
.
Keep
this
trip
a
secret
.
”
“
Roger
that
,
President
Lu
ke
,
”
Larry
replied.
Inwardly
,
though
,
he
was
somewhat
pu
z
zled
.
Luke
Corporation
‘
s
business
in
Eastland has
been
running
as
usual
,
right
?
President
Luke
is
going
there
out
of
the
blue
for
Miss
Greyson
‘
s
sake
,
I
guess
.
Really
,
I
‘
ve
never
seen
him
caring
so
much
about
a
woman
.
Hanson
sat
in
his
car
while
staring
at
his
cell
phone
in
a
trance
.
Why
do
I
care
so
much
about
Vania
?
Well
,
it
‘
s
definitely
because
I
‘
m
worried
that
Luke
Corporation
‘
s
collaboration
with
Galaxy
Corporation
will
be
affected
if
anything
happe
n
s
to
her
.
Yeah
,
that
has
to
be
it
.
I
was
so
worried
just
now
that
I
overlooked
the
reason
the
person
texted
me
.
Obviously
,
such
a
text
message
was
meant
to
lure
me
there
.
Just
what
is
their
purpose
in
doing so
?
He
had
been
rotating
his
phone
rhythmically
in
his
hand
all
this
while
,
but
he
stopped
all
of
a
sudden
.
“
Larryl
get
a
team
of
people
to
bring
their
equipment
and
go
to
Farville
immediately
.
”
“
Yes
,
President
Luke
.
”
Larry
‘
s
expression froze
suddenly
at
the
word
“
equipment
.
”
Could
it
be
t
h
at
Miss
Greyson
is
going
to
be
in
danger
?
Meanwhile
,
after
se
n
ding
the
text
message
,
the
three
kids
kept
staring
at
the
map
of
Farville
on
the
laptop
screen
–
as well
as
the
red
dot
that
had
been
blinking
on
the
map
.
After
a
five
–
hour
flight
,
Vania
‘
s
plane
landed
on
time
at
the
airport
in
Eastland
.
As
soon
as
she
got
off
the
plane
,
she
immediately
called
one
of
her
men
.
“
Leo
, I
‘
m
here
.
”
“
Boss
,
I
‘
m
at
the
airport
‘
s
exit
.
”
“
Alright
.
”
Vania
put
down
her
cell
phone
and
raced
to
the
exit
,
not
wanting
to
waste
even
a
seco
nd
.
She
couldn
‘
t
wait
to
see
her
child
.
Due
to
limited
time
,
Leo
and
Henry
were
the
only
ones
in
Eastland
at
present
.
Henry
had driven
to
Farville
.
The
village
,
which
was
far
away
with
complex
topography
,
took
t
–
‘
nurs
to
reach
by
car
,
so
Henry
had
driven
there
in
advance
just
in
case
.

“
Boss
,
over
here
!
”
As
soon
as
Vania
exited
the
airport
,
Leo
spotted
her
first
and
took
her
stuff
from
her
.
Vania
hopped
into
the
car
.
Looking
at
Leo
,
she
thanked
him
,
saying
,
“
T
ha
nks
for
coming
to
pick
me
up
.
L
et
‘
s
start
off
as
soon
as
possible
.
”
“
R
oger
that
,
”
Leo
replied
.
Then
,
he
continued
with
concern
,
“
Boss
,
it
takes
ten
hours
to
reach
Farville
from
the
airport
.
Why
don
‘
t
you
have
a
rest
first
?
“
.
Vania
shook
he
r
h
ead
.
“
No
,
it
‘
s not
necessary
.
”
Her
blood
was
boiling
now
that
she
was
getting
closer
and
closer
to her
child
.
She
just
wanted to
get
to
the
place
as
quickly
as
possible
,
so
how
could
she
po
ssibly
take
a
rest
?
She
picked
up
her
cell
phone
and
texted
her
three
kids
at
home
.
‘
Darlings
,
I
‘
ve
arrived
in
Eastland
!
The
three
kids
replied
at
once
,
‘
Take
good
care
of
yourself
,
Mommy
.
We
‘ll
be
good
boys
at
home
.
”
Vania
read
the
text
message
with
a
smile of
grati
f
ication
before
fixing
her
eyes
upon
the
mountain
road
ahead
while
wondering
how
this
child
of
hers
w
ould
look
like
.
Is
he
as
mischievous
as
the
three
darlings
at
home
?
What
would
he
like
?
Is
he
a
little
computer
whizz
as
well
?
Or did
he
inherit
my
genes
and
like
to
design
things
?
At
the
moment
,
every
cell
in
her
b
ody
w
as
beating
wildly
.
An
hour
later,
Hanson
‘
s
private
jet
touched
down
at
the
airport
in
Eas
t
land
,
where
two
ro
w
s
of
well

dressed
people
in
black
were
standing
in
a
line
.
Upon
seeing
Hanson
,
they
greeted
respectfully
,
“
Greetings
,
President
Luke
.
”
–

!
!!
Hanson
nodded
while
g
etting
into
the
car
th
a
t
h
ad
been
arranged
for
him
.
As
Larry
started
the
car
and
drove
to
the best
hotel
in
E
astland
,
he
said
in
a
deep
voice
,
“
Head
straight
for
Farville
.
”
“
Uh
.
.
.
”
Larry
made
a
sudden
U
–
turn
and
headed
in another
directi
on
.
As
expected
,
President
Luke
is
coming
after
Miss
Greyson
,
he
thought
to
himself
.
Hanson
‘
s
brows
furrowed
deeply
as
he
looked
at
the
mountainous
area
along
the
wa
y
.
Meanwhile
,
after
a
long
and
arduous
ten
–
hour
journey
,
V
ania
‘
s
car
finally
stopped
at
the
entrance
to
Farville
,
where
Henry
had
been
waiting
for
quite
some
time
.
Upon
seeing
him
,
Vania
immediately
asked
,
“
How
is
it
?
”
