5 days after the explosion

Harringfort narrowed his eyes at the images on his tablet. "Is this reliable?" He stared at Qin Yuanfeng's image on his tablet before finally throwing it on his bed. Then he stood and walked towards the window, eyeing the busy streets of London before his eyes. 

"Yes, Master." It was his right-hand man Yi. "He arrived a couple of hours in Hong Kong and immediately held a meeting with the Executives of Facci Group. All of Lily Zhou's stocks had been transferred to Qin Yuanfeng's name. He now owns Facci Group as well as some of Lily's properties.

Harringfort gritted his teeth in anger. How could he miss this? Lily and Zhou Jingren must have been planning to disappear since Zhou Jingren met him a couple of weeks back! That means, they were only toying with them and looking for an opportunity that they could use to disappear! "Fucking Stupid!" That Leandro was really stupid to try and kill them. Did he really think the couple was stupid enough to park their car on a dark road and just wait for the enemy to kill them?

"Also… Mr. Bei Tian stepped up as the new owner of Zhou Capital. With Mr. Zhou Jingren's father and mother's help, everything had been going well with the company. I can't see any sign of decline in their stock prices." Yi made a deliberate pause. He knew that his words are only making Harringfort more and more irritated "It seems that everything had been organized even before they left Hong Kong. It's just that… It's just that our focus was on Luxembourg that we failed to send our men to check the legal documents of their companies."

"Were you able to locate them?" Since Leandro blew up that car, there were no signs of Lily and Zhou Jingren. They didn't ride that private plane with Bei Tian and Qin Yuanfeng. They also didn't go back to Hong Kong. So far, the Organization had been doing its best to locate the two. However, it seems that Lily and Zhou Jingren disappeared like a fucking smoke."I will kill that son of a—"

"Master… the Organization just sent a message." Yi's words interrupted him. Harringfort immediately accepted the encrypted phone that everyone in the organization has. He used both face and voice recognition as well as a series of twenty digit passcode to open the phone and immediately read the message. Slowly, the lines between his brows deepened, his face turned grim. It was an order.

It was a fucking specific order to stop looking for Lily and Zhou Jingren. "Why the hell would they stop now?" Harringfort gave the phone back to Yi. The Order never does unreasonable things like this. Was it possible that they already found them? Did they give this order to prevent people like Harringfort on looking for them? Another curse left his mouth.

They must have known about his involvement with Leandro. But can they really blame him? Harringfort's goal was to see, how much these people will do to protect Lily by targeting Zhou Jingren. In fact, this was not the organization's plan. At least not now. Everyone was afraid that they will lose Lily's trust that they didn't want to touch her and her husband now.

For some reason, this immediately irked Harringfort. How could the organization protect someone like this? He could not understand why they would spend a lot of their resources in protecting Lily. This was just illogical! Harringfort knew that those old bastards knew something that he didn't and he was planning to find out anytime soon.

"Master… this…"

"Speak!" Harringfort's voice was clear.

"Master… if we continue doing things like this I'm afraid that they will send some people to silence you."

"They won't." He gave a confident answer. "Those bastards need me. There is no way that they would just throw me like that because of one or two misunderstandings. Moreover, everyone knows that my network is vast. They know I already have some sort of a safety switch. Once I die or disappear the world will know of their existence. How could those old fools in the UN and EU allow such an organization to exist?" He sneered. This was the reason why he was confident that they would not touch him as long as he does not touch Lily and Zhou Jingren.

He could investigate all he wants and those people will only watch in the sidelines smirking, making fun of his intention to investigate despite knowing he would find nothing.

"But your country…"

"Who cares about that?" He hissed. "The truth is the truth and that I more important to me than anybody else!" He added. He had been serving this order since they saved him. However, now that they are showing such favoritism to Lily, Harringfort naturally would start to wonder why her. And since they refuse to tell him anything then… he would do everything to acquire the information that he needed. Slowly… his lips lifted into a smile as an idea came to his mind.

He needed to get close to Lily. But since he could not find her… then he will get close to her brother instead! "Let's go to Hong Kong."

"Master?"

"Are you fucking deaf? Let's go to Hong Kong!" He said.

"I understand. The plane will be ready in an hour."

"Make it thirty minutes! I want to be on my way to Hong Kong in thirty minutes!"

"Yes, Master." Yi respectfully bowed before he left Harringfort alone.

...

Qin Yuanfeng sat still as he stared at the empty dining table in front of him. It had been days since he last saw his sister and he already missed her presence around him. A sigh escaped his lips as he watched the untouched food in front of him. "Chef Yang… I don't have any appetite. I'll be in my room working." He said as he stood and walked without sparing the table another glance. Now that Lily and Zhou Jingren is going to spend some time and enjoy the last few months of her pregnancy, he needed to step up and manage their company well.

He immediately recalled Lily's warning about the company losing money. The thought made her smile. It's funny how they were already in this type of situation and Lily's mind was still on her money and future profits.
