"Fifty percent is an optimistic outcome."

"Then, I'll entrust him to you," Gong Jie said.

After removing her gloves and throwing them aside, she spun herself around to meet his gaze squarely and asked with a chuckle, "Any reward for me?"

"Reward?"

"Shouldn't there be a treat for me when you pass me a boring and dull assignment?"

"Nope. There isn't any," replied the man heartlessly.

The woman's face turned bleak instantly. "You aren't sincere in asking for help at all."

"I'll bring you the top wine from Valenti next time."

"I'm sick of that."

"Ma'am, you are so hard to please." After saying that, the man turned to walk away.

The lady gave chase and signaled to him with a look. "Since you're back here, why don't we have a drink together?"

"I can't…"

She thought he was still worried over Yun Yecheng and quickly reassured him. "Don't worry; I'll take care of the old man."

He shook his head. "I have to go home."

Her face changed instantly. "Oh, right. I forgot that you haven't been home for a while. Your father must be thinking of you."

They reached the gate, and the man turned around and indicated, "You can leave me here; I have to go back now."

"Alright."

…

The Gongs' main residence was located on a private island at Atlantis. For the purpose of concealment, the entire island was blanketed with a network shield.

The size of the island was even bigger than some small nations in the world. The island itself had been made into a kingdom by the Gongs, with its security, defense, vacation facilities and entertainment, et cetera… In other words, this place had everything.

There were still some native aborigines staying on this island when the clan first started to develop the place. All of them were extradited to other countries by the family.

In addition, the surrounding seas were manned by sh.i.p.s day and night. The island's emergency functions would be activated the moment something abnormal was detected.

Any transpassers would be mercilessly destroyed with missiles. There were also a number of cargo sh.i.p.s, which lost their way and strayed into their sea territory by mistake; they, too, were chased off without delay.

This island was considered the Gongs' headquarters.

If one was to look at the whole island from a helicopter, one could easily spot an extremely majestic and magnificent castle at the center of the island.

The castle was built during the Saint Louis era, which the Gongs spent an astronomical sum to auction under their name. When the clan developed the island, they went at great lengths to move the entire historic castle over, then they began a series of reconstruction and refurbishment.

When Gong Jie first came to know that the castle, which he had stayed in since young, was in fact moved to this island from a land thousand of miles away, he was astounded for a very long time. He simply could not figure out how his father had managed to perform that feat.

When he reached the castle, and just as he stepped through the front gate, the butler, who seemed to have anticipated his arrival, spotted him. After giving him a formal bow, the butler said respectfully, "Second Master, the old master is waiting for you in his study room."

"Alright."

He then went up to the fourth floor.

He pushed open the spacious study room's door and inside was a middle-aged man sitting in a chair in front of a long study table. The older man was looking out the window behind, with his back toward the door.

The middle-aged man still looked graceful despite his age.

Unlike an average middle-aged man, whose body usually became out of shape, coming along with bloatedness and a flabby belly, his figure was well-maintained. There was an aura of mellow charm in his mannerism, much like aged wine.
