Chapter 10 - CHAPTER 10

*The Gu Company, Chairman's office*

"Sir, nothing was found about the youngest miss yesterday. Wherever she went was erased from the street cameras around the venue. It seems the only reasonable explanation for this is she was kidnapped. But our men are still on the case." Su Han, Gu Huang's assistant reported to Gu Huang.

Gu Huang relaxed into his chair in exhaustion rubbing his temples. Why do you also want to leave me like your mother. Am I not a good father to the daughter we had, Jiang Jiang. He wondered with his eyes closed.

Ring! Su Han stepped out to have a phone call. "Sir, the youngest miss has been found" Su Han reported after his phone call.

"Reward whoever found her", Gu Huang mumbled. "It was the youngest master, sir. She was found at the mall, apparently shopping with some woman." Su Han continued.

"Reward Gu Tang and find the identity of this woman for me. Tell the men to keep an eye on the children." Gu Huang instructed Su Han before sitting up to continue with the pile of work on his table.

Su Han nodded his head in understanding. "Sir, the third branch of the Gu family have caused trouble again. They sent spies to the Gu manor to poison and erase the youngest master and miss from existence. Fortunately, the youngest miss was not around and the youngest master although poisoned, was treated in time."

Gu Huang gritted his teeth in anger. Those third branch members were like fish out of water. Ever since he stopped funding and covering their tracks in shady businesses, his third uncle will not stop threatening him. This time was likely a warning that the children will never be safe if I keep avoiding his calls for help.

SNAP! The pen in Gu Huang's hand broke. He looked at the broken pen in his hand, "Get me a new pen. Lock the spies in the cold cellar and do not provide food for five days. I will interrogate them myself."

Su Han nodded. " Sir, I don't think the children will be safe from this moment on. Although they seem to have bodyguards, I don't think it is enough. If I may give my suggestion. I think they need someone closer to them than a bodyguard like a nanny. The last one quit."

"How many nannies have they had in their life?" Gu Huang asked.

" Five. The longest ever stayed and alive is the nanny who quit not long ago." Su Han replied.

"Remind me why each nanny disappeared again?" Gu Huang asked.

" The first nanny appeared when the children were just babies. She got killed by kidnappers who took the children. The second nanny came when the children were a year old. She turned out to be an assassin sent by a mysterious person to kill the children. She died by your hand. The third nanny only lasted a week and ran away the moment she saw you come home one day covered in blood.

The fourth nanny arrived when the children were two years old. She died trying to protect the children during a crossfire that happened at the old mansion. The fifth and last nanny came when the children were three and very mischievous. She lasted for only six months before complaining that the children will send her to the grave before her time. So, she quit. It has been a year since she quit." Su Han said.

"It has already been a year!" Gu Huang said shocked. 

"Yes. We need to find a nanny capable of protecting the children from dangers, cooking for them and keeping them company." Su Han explained.

"Then I will leave the search to you. In the meantime, get me ready for the meeting at one o'clock. I will take care of my third uncle." Gu Huang said

*The Mall, Jewelry Shop*

 "I heard you are the customer looking for me. How can I be of assistance." The manager said politely to Aang Jiang.

"Good. I would like to report one of your staff for fraud." Aang Jiang said.

"Mam. I hope you know what you are talking about. You are accusing my staff of something so huge, and I won't take it lying down." the manager warned.

"Your staff accused these children of smashing a jewelry she was holding and asked them to pay the original price when it is just a fake." Aang Jiang said accusingly.

"... You are lying. Oh, you must be the parent of those two brats, and you do not want to pay for the jewelry your children smashed. That is why you are accusing me of something so inhumane." the staff said panicking.

"Who said I can't afford it" Aang Jiang smirked.

"Stop lying. Look how shabbily you are dressed. Everyone can see you can't even afford the cheapest ring in this store, how can you say you can afford an antique as priceless as the one your children smashed. I am sure the dresses your children are wearing were stolen from the mall." the staff said pointing at them.

'Look at how she is panicking. This should end quickly. I have to go home and arrange the things I bought at home.' Aang Jiang thought.
