46 She looks promising...
The youth did not take the brown envelope, but he answered with a cold expression. "Why should I live with him?"
"Boy, if you want to find your mother, you should stay with him."
When the old man's words fell on the youth's ears, he remained silent without any expressions on his face looking down at the brown envelope.
In just a couple of minutes, there was a knock on the door and a middle age man entered the study room.
It was the same person who pick up the youth in the train station. His name is Sheng, their Butler.
He stepped forward and stood on the side on the youth and bowed down to give his respect to the old man before he turn to give respect to the youth.
After giving respect, Butler Sheng turned back to the old man and started to report.. "Master, everything has been prepared.. The young master's flight is booked for tinight."
The old man nod and twisted his chair to face the window making the youth face his back and ordered.
"Boy, don't forget what I said.."
There was no answer from the youth but the old man can only hear footsteps going away and when the door sounded open the footsteps stopped.
"Don't tell my father that I will be arriving tomorrow."
After saying those words, the youth continued to leave and closing the door with a "bang" leaving the Butler Sheng and old man alone.
Watching the youth disappear on his sight, Butler Sheng looked at the back of the old man. "Master, do you think the child will follow?"
"If he want's to find his mother, he will."
Butler Sheng did not speak, he remain standing on the same spot waiting for any orders of his master.
"Sheng, how long have you been serving my family?" Old man asked without turning to look at him.
"40 years, master." Butler Sheng honestly answered.
"Have you found the girl?"
Sweat started to form on Sheng's forehead when he answered: "She seemed to disappear."
'Master, how come you ask random questions!'
"Have you found out which family she belongs?"
"No master." Sheng answered with a trembling voice.
"What about the Mo family?"
"We can't find any connections between her and the Mo family."
Without any sound, the old man twisted his chair facing his desk and noticed the brown envelope is gone.
He put one of his hand on his head while the other is on the arm chair making his fingers started to tap reapeatedly like he was thinking.
Butler Sheng who's dying because of his nervousness began to speak.. "Master, you just met her once but why are you so interested with that girl?"
"She looks promising.." old man claimed with a sinister smile.
Butler Sheng nod twice. "When you ordered to look for her, we found out that she's always being chased by the Mo Family's guards including the head captain."
"Head captain? She must have a good martial arts that can be used." old man said with amazement in his eyes.
"Actually... Those guards called her little devil..."
The old man started to laugh: "That's just a name for a silly girl.."
"Master, you seem to be very fond of her."
"What can I say? she reminds me of my daughter.." there was unknown emotion on the old man's eyes.
"But master, do you want to take her away? The Mo family treats her like she's a prisoner who is not allowed to go outside.."
"There must be something about her."
"But the Mo family has only one descendant and it was a young master."
"Try to find out, if she has no connection with him, take her away.." old man ordered.
"Yes master."
