City M , Military Base :The girl opened her eyes after roughy an hour of sleep and found herself locked into a pair of two strong arms. Involuntarily , a smile appeared across the woman"s mouth. Now that he had a proper nap , her darling looked more relaxed and better now. Else , she was more than sure of him catching a fever.
Sometimes she wondered , why did he had to exhaust himself so much for everyone around him ? It wasn"t just her. Xi Yuan was the type of person who would stay awake for an entire night to coax a crying kid in the NGO. Or the person who"d cancel his meetings just to accompany his sister Ying and Rong Xiao to shopping. Alas ! What could he do of this man ?!
The girl placed a small pek against the man"s forehead before she tried to move away the man"s hand , placed upon the small of her back. But instead of loosening his grip , the man tightened it further and furrowed his brows , pulling the girl even more closer to him than she already was.
"Don"t !", the man groaned.
The girl chuckled and brought her lips to the man"s ears ,"Rong Xinghe wants to stay. Military Chief of the nation doesn"t."
"Ughh ! Don"t really like the Military Chief sometimes.", the man muttered under his breath , making the girl laugh.

Meanwhile , Qui Chin was finally released after a thorough interrogation. The first thing the woman did after she got out was to head towards the bank to withdraw some cash , so that she could leave Country X for few weeks. But the moment she was informed that all of her accounts were frozen by the bank authorities , the woman flipped out at the bank manager.
"Who the h.e.l.l gave you the right to do that ? How can you freeze both my private and government bank accounts ? I want a d.a.m.n answer to that.", complained Qui Chin.
"Keep your tone down , Ma"am.", the bank manager replied back , his voice stern ,"We have recieved orders directly from the Home Minister of the nation. We couldn"t obviously disobey him. And as long as your private accounts are concerned , it was a command from the owner of the Elite Banks" Chain , Mr. Zhi Bo himself. We aren"t too sure of the reason , though."
The moment one of the six tigers were mentioned , a chill ran down Qui Chin"s spine and the doc.u.ment folder she was holding slipped down her hands. Wh..what did this mean ? Her intuition told her that this was not even the start of it.
Just when the woman was trying to calm her shaking hands , she recieved a call. The woman stared at the phone screen for few seconds as she broke into a cold sweat , before she finally picked up the call.
"h.e.l.lo ?"
"Where is my daughter ?", a deep yet daunting voice came through the other end.
"A..at home , Mr. Sun.", Qui Chin replied , her entire body shaking now.
"I think you would like to confirm that , babe.", the man said after few seconds pa.s.sed , his tone more a.s.sertive this time.
It was now that Qui Chin realized that something wasn"t right. "Is there some problem , President Sun ?"
"I just recieved a call from the CEO of Lu Corporations."
CLASH !
"Are you alright , Ma"am ?!", as he saw Qui Chin stumble and fall down upon the floor , the manager of the bank rushed towards her hurriedly and offered her his hand ,"Should I call a doctor ?"
But Qui Chin wasn"t clearly in the state to absorb anything else , especially after what she had just learnt. Lu Wei ? Mr. Sun"s daughter ? If it was what she a.s.suming , then she was definitely done for this time !
"N.. no , Sir. I can..."
"You fu*king can"t explain this !", the man on the other side yelled at the woman , making her flinch her eyes tightly with fear ,"That is my daughter ! My daughter ! Do you get that ?! You had all the independence to do whatever you wanted to do with your d.a.m.ned career. But my only condition was to keep my daughter away from that filthy industry of yours.
"Yet , you not only screwed up by messing with the woman of Lu Wei , now my child is under his brutal scrutiny too. Remember one thing , Chin , I allowed you to keep my daughter because you are her birth mother. But now that I think of it , this might"ve been the worst decision of my life.
"Now you listen to me carefully. I don"t care if you slit your wrist or sell your body , I want my child safe. Else , you know how capable I am !"
"B..but , Sir , h..how will I deal wi..with President Lu al..alone by.."
"Just like how you got the guts to touch his wife."
The call got disconnected after the man was done speaking. Qui Chin kept sitting on the floor , staring into s.p.a.ce for a while before she gathered some courage and rushed out of the bank manager"s office. If Lu Wei was a mighty tiger , then this man was no less than a cunning wolf. In both the cases , no matter where she went , her death was inevitable. At this point of time , all she could do was to try her best to save her daughter , Qui Tong from Lu Wei"s claws.

At this time , Rong Xinghe and Xi Yuan were on their way to the suburbs of City M. It was basically a shabby location , where the phone of the frequent caller on Qui Chin"s call records , was tracked recently. This was a minor direction to the case , at least. So the girl was planning a normal field inspection , travelling along with her five most trusted special forces officers.
Xi Yuan was looking outside the window when his phone beeped with a message from Mo Zixuan. Before Xi Yuan could pick up his phone , Rong Xinghe had already snuck a peek into it. Naturally , the girl grabbed the phone and started reading the message notification out of curiosity. As she read the message , a smile crept across the girl"s soft reddish lips , soon turning into a devillish smirk.
"What is it , Xinghe ?", the man pinched the s.p.a.ce between his brows , letting out a helpless sigh. What was going on now ?
The girl pa.s.sed the phone to the man beside her before she leaned against him , their lips inches apart ,"Revenge is on , President Xi. Apparently , I should not know about it. And also , you are supposed to take care of Media Magnet Mo"s kiddo sister."
Xi Yuan"s pupils dilated as he realized how close the girl was to him and how her every word had a pinch of challenge and seduction dissolved into them. It was almost like her eyes were interrogating his soul , with a question he wasn"t able to figure out clearly. But how , in the world , was he supposed to think of anything with the girl so close to him ?!
What a shameless girl , the man thought. There were five soldiers with them in the Military Jeep. Yet , she had the audacity to mess around !
