Being the son of a businessman isn't easy, and Ji Nan knows that to well. So when he was forced to move he made sure to not let anyone know about his fathers income. He even made sure not to let anyone get to know him, but when he is tasked with tut...

The drive to the safe house wasn't that long. It was a complicated one. I didn't know a house could be so secluded. I had just stepped out the car when another car pulled in behind us.
"I'd thought your dad would make it here before us."
"He probably told them to drive a bit slower. The man loves car rides."
I wanted to laugh when I made eye contact with Ba Mingchun I refrained from doing it. He walked up to us and stopped. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and I cocked a eye brow.
"I thought you were trying to quit," Ba Wei asked?
"So did I," Ba Ming Chun responded, "but do you expect me to quit with this constant stress."
He lit the cigarette and glanced back at the men standing by the cars, "go ahead and take them inside. I'll come through the back so lock the front."
"go ahead without me."
"Huh? why?"
"I need to talk to him about something. I'll be inside in a minute."
I nodded and turned to follow the guards towards the house. Looking at the house it was nothing special. It was very normal looking but I guess that's the point. When we made it to the large door I thought the would just open it but to my surprise there was a rather large keypad beside the door. I watched as they typed not one but a series of numbers in before the door clicked open. They stepped aside and motioned for me to go inside. I didn't argue and did just that.
As I walked in I couldn't help but feel uneasy. There was barely any furniture and you could tell that no one ever came here. The furniture scattering the room were things that everyone would need. I glanced behind me at the guards to see them closing the door. I watched curiously as they began to lock the many locks on the door.
"Um," I started getting the attention of one of the men, "is he up stairs or something?"
"Yes. You're free too move about however you please."
I nodded and turned to make my way to the stair case. As I began to climb the stairs I couldn't help but wonder what Ba Wei had to speak to his father about. He didn't mention anything during the car ride so maybe it's just a family matter. Hopefully it's nothing bad.
"Dad," I called out as I reached the top of the stairs. I was met with silence and I was about to call out again when my father walked out of a room. He seemed surprised to see me.
"Ji Nan, how did you get to this place?"
"Hello to you too dad." I walked up to him and looked him over. It didn't seem like he was hurt anywhere. Looking him over he looked the same, just a bit thinner. "Ba MingChun brought me here."
"You're that close to that man," he said with a scowl on his face?
