"Old Wang, have you found her yet?" The ailing man asked his servant. He rested his wrinkled hands on the arm-rest of his wheelchair and looked out of the balcony. The world outside was a busy street, bustling with activity, but here in the Tian's mansion, the atmosphere was dull and lifeless, accompanied by a tinge of tension and anger. The people in the house had just ended the funeral of the Tian's eldest son and president of the family business, HeTian Organisation. Following that, the late president's lawyer revealed his will stating his wish to let his illegitimate daughter inherit his place as President of HeTian Organisation. This had stirred up confusion and disatisfaction among the family members, especially, the late president, Tian Yong Liang's first wife and their daughter.
"Old Master, unfortunately, we have not been able to get hold of Miss Tian's whereabouts, but do rest assure, we will be able to find her very soon, and escort her back to inherit what her father left her." Old Wang replied politely. He was a man in his fifties. Old Wang had been a loyal servant to the Tians ever since they help paid off the debts his family owned.
"That poor girl...she didn't even get to see her father for the first and last time before he died. Though it's late, but it's time for her to come back. Yong Liang had always hoped he could do his part as a father and make it up to Fu Zhen and her mother..." Old Master Tian continued as his eyes turned watery. If he hadn't forced his son to marry someone else, maybe thigns would have been better. All he's cared about was the family's name and reputation and neglected the feelings of his own flesh and blood. Though his son never complained, but he could see how unhappy and regretful he was. Now that he died due to illness, the least he could do to ease his guilt was to give his granddaughter and her mother the things they deserved.

Meanwhile, in another room in the mansion, some people were also discussing the whereabouts of the girl. A beautiful lady sat by the counter, sipping her wine and listening to the phone conversation between 2 men. The young man beside her creased his brows. She could see from his expression that it wasn't good news.
"You didn't kill her?...I don't care why you missed. I want her dead..." The young man frowned even harder, his handsome face filled with anger and annoyance. "What?!... How did they get involved in this?..I know...You continue to spy on her. I will contact you again when I want you to take action." The man disconnected the call and closed his eyes in deep thought. His clunched his hands tightly into a fist.
"What is it, Zax? They didn't succeed?" The lady asked curiously, she placed her fair and smooth hands on his wrist and leaned closer to him. Zax opened his eyes and shifted his hands and body uneasily away from her.
"The shots that the killer fired at her missed its target because of unknown bullets flying from another unknown direction which altered the direction our bullets were moving in." Zax paused and took a deep breath. "Which means, someone else knew we were trying to kill her, and they were there to protect her."
"Who are they? How did they know someone was trying to harm her?Could it be the old man upstairs?" The woman suggested.
"Impossible. My father was sure Old Master Tian was unaware that we knew about the girl's whereabouts. My guess is, the people protecting her are from Homway."
"Homway Holdings? Why would you say that?"
"Because I was told that that girl was with them for the past 3 days..."
"All the more we should kill her asap. We'll wipe out Homway as well, without them getting in the way, we can control the economy of China." The lady said arrogantly.
"Calm down, Patty. Our target is Tian Fu Zhen, not Homway. Besides, it wouldn't be easy for us to wipe out the whole of Homway. You know very well of their strong influence over China's economy and their relations with the country's politicians. It wouldn't do us any good if we offend them. We'll be on the losing end..." Zax reminded her.
"Then what do you intend to do now?" Patty asked impatiently. She could not wait to get rid of that girl. Her father's fortune rightfully belongs to her, not his illegitimate daughter. She will never acknowledge that girl as her half-sister. And with the help of Zax and his father, she will get back what is hers.
"Wait. We'll wait and look for an opportunity to get rid of Tian Fu Zhen. But not anytime now, we have to wait for Homway to let down their guard before we can carry out our plan. We have to find out as much as possible why and how did they get involve with Tian Fu Zhen..." Zax interlocked his fingers together and rested his chin on them.
