Chapter 528: Grandpa Jun goes back to work.

On their return home that evening, Chi Lian’s mind was filled with questions and a quagmire. For one, months had passed but her system was still stuck on the same level. T4’s energy reserves glowed blue and no matter how much she posted as the peep star, accumulating one hundred eighty million points was was like climbing a mountain without equipment, difficult and hard. It was not her fault though, these celebrities seemed to be on their best behavior. There was an occasional scandal here and there but they were not break the Internet kind of scandals. Secondly, she had yet to locate the third piece of the map which would lead to the treasure that the system called life changing or possibly world ending. She could not help but suspect that it was not much of a treasure but maybe more of a weapon of mass destruction. Treasures did not destroy the world, that’s why they were named treasures.

Number three on the list of things which were bothering her was the picture which the the system said would clear up after a number of missions. It had cleared up but no clarity had been offered. It was two men, one woman and a car which had no clear license plate, a few numbers were missing.

T4 had been running the faces through a facial identification software but nothing had turned up so far. She was now considering giving a copy of the picture to Wang Bolin, perhaps somewhere in a police file there was a record of any one of them.

"What are you thinking about?" Her husband asked. He took her right hand and kissed the back.

Playfully, she tapped his nose twice and said, "Work hubby, I have much work to do."

Muyang studied his wife’s face curiously for a while.He thought to himself that she was becoming a workaholic. Sometimes when he woke up late at night and touched the bed on her side, it would be empty. He would look over at her small working table and see her looking at papers and going through her laptop. He always managed to cajole her into coming back to bed but he was becoming concerned with every other passing day. Muyang used his thumb to straighten the small frown lines on her forehead.

"You should stop frowning, share some of your burdens with me. I am more resourceful than you think my dear wife."

"I know, you managed to get my man into sinner after all. I tried for months and failed but you did it in one week."

Monkey was successfully embedded into the green gang. He was low on the pole but this in itself was a success. How Muyang had done it, she did it know? Since she was sharing that picture with Wang Bolin, she thought that maybe passing a copy on to her husband was not a bad thing.

"I have a picture that was given to the missing team but I am stuck on where to find the woman or identity the men in the picture with her."

"Can I take a look?" He asked.

Chi Lian stretched her arm over Mei-Mei’s sleeping body, took a photograph out of her bag and handed it to him. "I really hope that you have more success than I have so far."

Muyang looked at the photograph briefly and put it in his pocket.

"By the way, I have been meaning to speak to you about the job you offered my grandfather." He brought up the topic which was a taboo inside of the Jun household. The old master had decided to go back to work as the supervisor of the orchid in Pear Park. Despite all the pleas made by his children and grand children he declared that the issue was not up for discussion. Apparently he was tired of withering away like an old twig while waiting for death.

"I didn’t offer him the job he has been supervising the construction and the orchids all along. When he asked me if he could keep it up what was I supposed to say?"

"I am not telling you to turn him away," Muyang squeezed her hand briefly. "I am just wondering if you can cut down his working hours from eight to four."

"Oh come on Muyang!!" She rolled her eyes, "We both know that he will not go for it. Look it’s not a complicated job all he has to do is walk around, check on the condition of the fruits and trees and note down a few observations. I even allowed him to bring all his old friends along if he wishes. Look at things from my perspective, the park will be filled with researchers of all ages looking for funding, having a group of old rich men around might not be a bad thing. There are lounges, a canteen, koi fish ponds, pavilions, game rooms and a fully functioning and well stocked hospital. Grandpa will be fine, you should all stop worrying and support him. The triplets rarely return home, Ringo and Cherry moved out, your parents return late from work often exhausted. Your grandparents are often left alone in that large mansion. Why do you think I am reluctant to move out? It’s because they will be lonely, having a job will at least take up part of that time and fill up the loneliness."

The old madam had her high tea society but it met once a week. The old master met his friends to play games like chess and go but eventually the games ended and he returned home to sit in silence and watch television. For now, Mei-Mei, little monk and Rose were occupying some of the elders time but Rose had joined an international middle school and the twins would be off to preschool next year.

"Don’t forget that I gave both elders that special medicine last year, they are healthy and fit. Your grandfather will be fine,.."

"Our," Muyang corrected her. "Our grandfather will be fine."

"Yes," she agreed with him, "Our grandfather will be fine, let him do as he pleases. If grandmother wants to work in the park as well I am planning on letting her do as she pleases. The canteen lacks a supervisor anyway and having her there will be good. She will be close to grandfather and keep an eye on him."

Rather than appealing to his emotions, she used logic to break down the reasons why this was important to the old master.

"He can go back to the company." Muyang counter suggested.

"The company which gave him a heart attack and almost took his life, I don’t think so."

Muyang surrendered to the reasoning of his wife which was a good thing because his grandfather was not yet finished with the surprises. At the dinner table that night, he suddenly said he had an announcement to make.

"We are moving to the the cold town."

"What?" He Weili asked.

"Grandfather!!"

"Father!!"

"It’s not forever, I just think that as an employee of the park I should live close to my place of work. It’s not a permanent move, we will still be returning maybe once or twice a week. Our luggage is already being sent to our apartment, we have been doing it the same way Muyang has been sneaking out a few things to his house secretly."

More than two eyes looked at Muyang in disbelief. So everyone was secretly moving!!

While others looked stunned, Chi Lian stood up said loudly, "Congratulations on your move grandfather and grandmother." The elders deserved a life of their own and she would support them fully.

"Congratulations." Muyang added. The situation was out of their hands and short of chaining the elders to the house, nothing could be done.
