Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the Jin Residence in the capital.

The butler received the news of their arrival and came out to welcome them. Jin Yang rolled up his sleeves tiredly. “Dad.”

Jin Tao turned around and glared at Jin Yang sternly. He nodded slightly and pointed at the sofa in the living room. “Sit.”

The atmosphere in the living room was strangely oppressive. The nanny placed a fruit platter in front of Jin Yang and left in a hurry.

“What have you been busy with recently? I called the official residence several times, but Shao An said that you weren’t there…”

Jin Tao looked into the distance with an indifferent expression. His attitude was like a high-ranking official scrutinizing his subordinates. There was no affection or concern between father and son.

Jin Yang was very familiar with his attitude. He didn’t even find it strange.

“There are hidden dangers abroad and locusts in many places in the country that had to be settled. The inaction of local officials had to be dealt with.”

“I had to go and stabilize the situation and didn’t receive your calls. I’m sorry.”

It was hard to imagine that father and son were so distant.

Jin Tao sensed the hesitance and contradiction in his words. He asked calmly, “Has Song Yan contacted you recently?”

“If he causes any trouble outside, we have to clean up after him.”

“I advise you to find him as soon as possible…”

Jin Tao reminded him. Jin Yang looked up and smiled coldly. “Why? Are you going to keep him under house arrest here?”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“I heard from the butler that your health hasn’t been good recently. You should recuperate in peace.”

“An external force has infiltrated S City. I might have to rush over to investigate for some time. Please take good care of your health.”

Jin Yang stood up and left, unwilling to stay any longer.

He gripped the cold door handle, wondering if he should turn around and say goodbye, but he swallowed the words.

Bang. The door closed.

Jin Tao waved and his subordinate walked out from a corner. “Go and check on Jin Yang’s recent movements.”

“Investigate who he has been in contact with!”

Jin Tao narrowed his eyes, his cold gaze like sharp blades. For the sake of benefit and power, he would even treat his disobedient biological son as a threat and a thorny problem that needed to be dealt with. Kinship? He only cared about material things that could be held in his hands!

In the backseat of the car, Jin Yang rubbed his temples gently. He looked at Shao An, who was in the front passenger seat. “Book a flight ticket and come with me to S City.”

“Sir, should I stay in the capital to help you scout for information? If I leave, it might ignite gossip and doubts among other officials…”

Shao An guessed that Jin Yang and the old man’s meeting had not been pleasant. He threw out a suggestion in a probing manner.

Jin Yang rejected him outright. “I’ve already informed him of my schedule. From now on, you can follow me at all times.”

Jin Tao wanted to control his actions and Shao An was the biggest obstacle.

Shao An was his subordinate and also his friend. Jin Yang swore to protect him.

Ding! Jin Yang activated the soundproof panel in the car and took out his phone. Without hesitation, he dialed Qiu Tong’s number. The phone rang twice and Qiu Tong answered, “Yes?”

Qiu Tong was rather unhappy that her sweet dreams had been interrupted.

However, when she saw the caller ID, Qiu Tong turned on the night lamp and cleared her throat. “What’s the matter?”

It was three in the morning. Qiu Tong heard her heart beating anxiously.

Jin Yang suddenly smirked and shook his head. “Nothing. I just wanted to hear your voice. Why didn’t you call me?”

As if she was the lead actress in a romantic film, Qiu Tong rubbed her reddened ears and said in a gentle voice, “You are the president and are busy with work. I don’t want to disrupt your work.”

Their difference in status would always be a hurdle in Qiu Tong’s heart.

She had once sworn to stay away from dangerous people, but now… Jin Yang and her fell into silence. Only the sounds of their breathing could be heard. Qiu Tong felt sleepy and she slowly closed her eyes as she laid on the bed.

“I’ll be in S City at noon tomorrow. Wait for me at home.”

Jin Yang listened to her steady breathing and knew that Qiu Tong was falling asleep. He had very naturally referred to her place as “home”.

Half asleep, Qiu Tong murmured. “Yes, I’m bringing the children to the amusement park.”

Jin Yang lowered the soundproof panel. The cool evening wind blew over and he felt much more awake. The gloominess in his heart dissipated.

When Shao An heard the noise, he turned around and wanted to say something. Jin Yang raised his index finger and pressed it to his lips, indicating for him to shut up.

He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand. From the corner of his eye, he saw the display screen on Jin Yang’s phone. He suddenly understood.

It seemed like there had been many changes in the relationship between the president and Qiu Tong!

Shao An’s ears pricked up in curiosity, but Jin Yang did not say anything else. He returned to the bedroom and quietly changed into his pajamas before lying on the bed. He listened to Qiu Tong’s breathing and soon fell asleep too.

That night, although they were thousands of miles apart, it was the first time they spent the entire night together on the phone…
