In Danger.

Walking up in the glass stairway, Ah Si stood tall and aloof. At the instant, he came back to the normal, domineering guy that stood unshakable.

He wasn't at all the well-smitten boy, following after his woman.

Lu Jung strode right behind him with his round glasses resting on the tip of his nose. He was carrying several files as he looked through them in a hastened manner. Pausing, he looked in front and frowned.

The glass door was just a bit ahead of them, however, he felt uncomfortable. It was the first time someone unknown was inside. He came before Ah Si and blocked him. "Brother, wait a minute." Saying so, he picked a small walky-talky from his suit pocket and started to notify all the bodyguards.

"Check the President's room CCTV."

"Yes, Young Master Lu."

Ah Si looked at Lu Jung and he immediately shook his head. Without further due, he took a step forward and held the handle of the glass door. Lu Jung on the other hand looked at him with a deep observation. He was worried but he also knew when to be reassured.

Ah Si might need protection by many people, however one had to fully understand to harm him. He wasn't just a man, his existence itself was a mercy to so many people.

Moving a hand through his hair, Ah Si spoke out in a serious tone.

"A man doesn't necessarily need to be aware of his surroundings all the time.

He continued. "A sense of reflex is enough Lu Jung. In that case, you will also learn how to get out of difficult situations." Moving forward, he pushed the glass door open and he got in with ease.

Lu Jung stood there with files on his hands and his eyes holding curiosity in them.

"A sense of reflex..?," Just as he was going through varied understandings, black-suited, burly men came in a hastened manners, and Lu Jung who was professionally trained immediately turned around in a defensive manner.

Holding his hands in a crossed way, he was about to give the people a taste of his teachings when he realized that they were the Ah's personally trained bodyguards.

Taking a step back, he immediately put down his hands, and awkwardly looked away.

Debating internally on whether the sense of reflex was that or not, Lu Jung shook his head to ignore those thoughts.

Ruffling his suit, he spoke up in a demanding and serious tone.

"President is inside, be aware of every little detail, especially your surroundings. Also there is a guest inside, make sure to not let anyone in. Understood?"

"Yes, Young Master Lu."

The bodyguards dared not make any more sound and they all bowed to the prestigious man.

Lu Jung stood there and he only turned around to get in when he saw everything was in control.

Getting inside the glass door, he came across a sudden frost of the Antarctic. Ah Si sat in his swivel chair as he observed the similar chilling man on the sofa. Smiling awkwardly between the two, Lu Jung gulped. He felt his hair stand out by the two.

Bowing to Li Chen, he spoke up with a stunned face.

"Hello, Mr. Li. What a surprise? We had invited over Mr. Li yet his son came.." Lu Jung said. He bowed and moved to stand next to Ah Si. Handing him some new files, he was completely unaware of the words he just threw out.

Hearing his father being mentioned, Li Chen's eyes gleamed with a dark light. He had an impeccable aura for a twenty-three year old man. Clasping his hands together, he spoke out in a chilly tone.

"The meeting is between the Li's and the Ah's. Does it matter which Li it is?," Looking at Lu Jung, he asked.

For a mere person like Lu Jung, the wording came out in an overwhelming way. Looking at his eyes, he wondered where he saw such a gaze. 'Ahh, wasn't this a complete replica of Aizhe?'

Sigh, he wished to really understand how people like them talked with their eyes. A huge professional smile overlapped on his worried face and he came to Li Chen in an unhurried manner.

Bowing, he smiled at him.

"Mr. Li, please don't take my words to your heart. I merely was surprised." Li Chen sat there as he looked at the infamous man. Lu Jung wasn't hidden from the public's eyes.

To some, he was the knight in shining armor and to some he was the ridiculously handsome agent. All in all, he stood thick and thin through Ah Si. Glancing at him in an unappreciated way, Li Chen ignored him. He wasn't here to form alliances. He was here to discuss and secure his dear father's place. He didn't want to let the world be aware of his father's conditions as that would deteriorate the matter.

Looking up at Ah Si, he saw his calming onze eyes. His eyes were leisurely tracing around and from time to time, he would take a sip from the bittersweet coffee. Placing the cup down, Ah Si stood up and he moved to sit in the wide maroon-colored sofa. Looking at Lu Jung, he said:

"It is lunchtime, get us something to eat." After a couple of minutes, a man in his fifties with a hat that looked like those of the chef came in the room pushing a tray of food. Various colors and ridiculously gorgeous plating were presented.

Li Chen who was busy looking around caught the Chef's batch. To say that he was shocked would be an understatement.

A couple of days before any incidents occurred in the Li Mansion, he wanted to dine out. When he asked for a reservation, he paused and saw the reservation cost. It was really expensive. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it.

He wouldn't just use that amount of money for a food that would probably fade after a couple jug of water.

UltraViolet was the most expensive restaurant in China. It could also be described as one of the most innovative. In fact, ULTRAVIOLET has made it onto the world's top fifty restaurants multiple years in a row! The eatery has won three Michelin stars, and each meal costs about 3-4 million yuan.

Looking up at Ah Si, he saw a new form of him.

It wouldn't be a huge matter to a person who had showered in these pennies from a young age like him but for Li Chen, he was well trained and was raised to be a man before a ruler.

Most of his teen was spent in a boarding school in Australia. He wouldn't wish to be associated with people that weren't' like him.

However this was his father's company and he was in dire need for him to recover.

Lu Jung dismissed the chef and he took the role of serving the two men. Li Chen looked at the food and he unhurriedly took bites of it.

It was surprisingly good. The atmosphere was yet to be dimmed out, however, there was some sort of agreements reached between the two. Ah Si took a side napkin and he wiped it in his mouth. Opening his thin lips, he said:

"Now that we are well placed, let me start the discussion. I believe honesty is a must in partnership, thus, I wouldn't wait for you to find out. Mr. Li, the aim wasn't your father but you. And the purpose isn't business but more than that."

Hearing that, Li Chen paused at his actions and was taken back.

The surprise was evident in his well-structured face. He was a Li and Li's never backed out. Believing so, Li Chen closed his eyes and then opened it to calm himself. Taking the napkins from the tray, he said: "I am not sure of your purpose Mr. Si." Ah Si stood up and placed his hands in his pants pockets. Glancing at the indifferent man, Ah Si chuckled deeply.

Moving to the mirror, he faced the window and saw the beaming sun.

"Well, Mr. Li, Aizhe is with me,"

"What did you say?," A sudden silence followed.

That was like a bomb dropped on the already alarmed man. A vein was about to pop out in his forehead by the news. His eyebrows furrowed and it took a while for the information to suck inside him.

The sister he was searching everywhere for was nowhere to be found. Aizhe was his father's treasure. Even in the hospital, more than his own kids, he was calling out for her name. She was well-favored and he wanted to ensure for her safety.

However, she suddenly went missing. Now a stranger proclaimed he had her?

Standing up, he glared darkly at Ah Si. That alarmed Lu Jung and he stood ready to defend.

Moving in a rushed manner to grab him, he knocked over the tray and everything became a mess in a sec. Lu Jung immediately came in front of Ah Si and blocked him. "Mr. Li, calm down please. We can only discuss this in a relaxed manner."

Saying so, he escorted Ah Si from the broken glasses on the dirty floor. Ah Si had a dislike for anything that reeked or looked bad. He instantly frowned. Looking at the brewing man, he calmly took a tissue and spoke up.

"Mr. Li, I believe you already know the reason for Miss Li being out of that house. Let alone a human, even a bird would die than live there."

Li Chen was ready burning in fire but his words just added more fuel to it. Tightening his fist, he glared.

"What are you trying to imply?"

Ah Si looked at him and he suddenly went in a thought. This wasn't the main motive. He wanted to protect Aizhe from their grasp.

Believing that, he answered him with a deep glance.

"Mr. Li, can I ask you one thing? In your opinion, would you wish for your woman to die peacefully or rather be tormented?" Li Chen glared at him but he nonetheless answered him. For him, his sister's life was more precious than anything right now.

"For her to peacefully die, of course."

Hitting the desk with his hardened fist, Ah Si stood up glory. All the smile and calmness were far gone and it was replaced by his chilling and dark look.

"No you wouldn't! With a witch and a wench living by her side twenty-four hours, did you and Mr. Li ever paused and thought about how she must have felt?" Lights reflected from his dark gaze. Lu Jung took a step back to let the man pass by. He didn't wish to hold or stop his behavior as he believed this was perfectly justified.

The Li's were indeed really famous, not to mention they were older and traditional when compared to other families. Of course they were nothing when compared to the Ah's but they sure were really known. Lu Jung was certain that Aizhe's sudden disappearance would definitely bring out many wild wolves to the open field.

He was also aware of the relationship between the two siblings and thus respected him.

However, caring wasn't enough for an already mourning person. They need love, care, and protection from their loved ones.

Aizhe's condition made the already infuriating man worse. Sighing, he muttered to himself. "Had only Aizhe been my little sister, she wouldn't even know the spelling of sad. Such a sweet girl doesn't deserve to be with the Li's." Might have been a mutter, but it was loud enough to be heard by Li Chen and Ah Si.

Realizing his mistake, he immediately looked down and bowed.

Li Chen who was stupefied by the earlier outburst suddenly put two and two together. He understood that Ah Si was talking about his mother and sister. Although the matter being severely bitter to take in, Li Chen didn't get angry at all.

He looked at Ah Si and saw the gleam in his eyes.

That gleam was protective and warm when he spoke for his sister. He immediately hid it with his frosty gaze. What was he to her? Why was he so worried?

Li Chen wasn't dumb nor was he unaware of the situations at home. A lot of times, he really wished Aizhe would just be out of that struggling situation. He admitted and only came to realize how important and endearing person she was when she left. He wished to go back and console her.

Looking back at it, his father must have also realized that. Ah Si saw him and he looked away immediately. Controlling his emotions well, he came back to his natural state.

Every time he thought about her pain and struggle, he wished to flip the whole world upside down. He couldn't bear to see any sort of hesitancy in her eyes.

"Mr. Li, I believe you are aware of your sister and mother's behavior. I wouldn't wish to be in the middle of your family issues. Instead, today, I wanted to make a deal with you." Ah Si sat down in his swivel chair and he took the document papers out.

"Mr. Li, these are paper documents of Aizhe's rights." Lu Jung informed as he handed it to him. Li Chen's eyes widened when he read the first page.

"What behavior is this? How bold are you to assume I would break my ties with her. Listen up, Aizhe is a Li and she would always be. Who are you to her in the first place?," Hearing that Ah Si's jaws tightened and he looked at the pen in his hands carefully. Flipping it around, he slammed it in the desk.

Looking up at the ignorant man, there was a fire in his eyes.

Lu Jung panicked when he heard that. Moving before Ah Si would slander that man, he waved a hand through the air as to indicate peace.

"Mr. Li, we are aware of our mistakes and deeply apologize for our rudeness. However, you have to also measure both matters carefully. Our President is not only looking for Aizhe's well-being but also protecting her from Ms. Li and Young Miss Li. In the meantime, you would be reassured that no bad reputation is smeared at your household. You wouldn't wish for her to suffer in a house where she is constantly pressured or belittled, do you?"

Lu Jung spoke like a true and wise man. Seeing his assistant trying to pursue the ignorant man, Ah Si closed his blazing eyes. He felt a headache starting to come. Pulling his hair in a low bun, he stood up.

"Mr. Li, I would be straight and frank with you. I am pretty sure you are aware of her panic disorder and her mental health, however, there is another more serious problem." Li Chen was considering his decision when he heard Ah Si's words. Looking up with a curious look, he asked for the matter.

"What do you mean?," He asked.

"Your sister is in danger, Mr. Li."

A long silence once again filled in the room. You could hear the ticking of the time clocks.
