Little Jun immediately ran to Jin Liwei as soon as he emerged from the elevator. The little guy was so excited that he ran too fast and tripped on his own little feet. Fortunately, Jin Liwei caught him before he fell on his face.

"Careful, Little Jun," Jin Liwei gently scolded his godson. Then he lifted the child and carried him in his arms.

Little Jun wrapped his little arms around Jin Liwei's neck and hugged him tightly. Jin Liwei kissed his godson's forehead and walked into the living area.

His subordinates didn't bat an eye seeing this scene. They were already used to it. They knew the nature of their master and mistress' relationship with the child.

However, the two members of Jin Liwei's personal tech team who was following closely behind him didn't know. Their eyes almost popped out of their heads, as they witnessed such an unbelievable scene right in front of their eyes.

Did they just hear the child call the President…"papa"?!!

The President had a child already?!!

He and hisfiancée hadn't married yet, right? Then did this mean that they already had a child together before marrying?!!

WHAT?!!!

Their minds went blank and they just stood there staring like stupid idiots at Jin Liwei and Little Jun.

The nanny greeted Jin Liwei. It was only her and Little Jun in the living area before Jin Liwei's group had arrived. The TV was playing an afternoon kiddie show.

Jin Liwei nodded at her. "Take Little Jun. I'm going to the library office. Dominic is still in there, right?"

"Yes, sir. He's in there with the cats doing some paperwork, I think. The Young Miss Xiulan is…uh, I think she left for work early this morning when everybody else was still sleeping. I wonder why she didn't take Dom with him like she usually does..."

Then the nanny gave Jin Liwei a quick report about where everybody else was. "Clover is still at work. Madam Wei Lan went to the spa. She took a couple of the maids with her. Miss Ying Yue is currently doing her security rounds downstairs. Grandma Yi Mei and the others are working in the rooms."

"I see," Jin Liwei murmured as he handed the toddler to her. He was currently distracted and couldn't wait to head to the library.

Unfortunately, Little Jun didn't want to let go of his neck.

"No! Junjun want Papa! Junjun want Mama!" Then Little Jun started sobbing. "Mommi! Dada! Dada gone! Junjun want Dada!"

Jin Liwei froze. His chest tightened as his godson's tears soaked his neck and collar. It seemed that the child had been affected by his father's absence more than they first thought. So that was the reason why recently, Little Jun was becoming more clingy than usual. The poor kid was probably afraid that they would all be gone like his father.

'Long Hui, you stupid son of a bitch. This is all your fault,' Jin Liwei mentally cursed the man while patting his godson's back in an effort to calm him down.

The nanny was trying to take Little Jun from Jin Liwei but she couldn't because the child was now having a full-blown tantrum. His little arms were wrapped around his papa's neck in a vice-like grip.

Jin Liwei sighed and waved the nanny away. "It's alright. I'll take him," he told her. Then in a gentle but stern voice, he talked to his godson. "Little Jun, be good. Your mama will be upset if she sees you crying like this."

The intensity of Little Jun's cries decreased upon hearing about his mama. However, he continued whimpering softly. He lifted his little head and looked up at Jin Liwei with his pitiful, tear-filled face.

"Papa stay? Junjun want Mama. Junjun sad."

"Don't worry, Little Jun. Papa and Mama won't leave you," Jin Liwei whispered.

'We're not like that father of yours who's an idiot and a coward,' he inwardly added.

He kissed Little Jun's forehead. Then he took a small clean towel from the nanny and wiped the child's tears and snot. Afterwards, he turned to his subordinates and his two tech people behind him.

"All of you, come with me."

Jin Liwei started walking while still carrying Little Jun in his arms. His subordinates immediately followed.

His two tech people were a little late in reacting because they were still dazed. They followed the group while continuing to stare like stupid idiots at the President acting like a father. They just couldn't believe it!

Since Jin Liwei didn't tell her to follow, the nanny decided to stay in the living room.

Finally, the group arrived at the library.

A streak of orange shot towards Jin Liwei. A big grey furball followed in a more leisurely manner. They greeted Jin Liwei with loud meows while rubbing their bodies against his legs.

"Ash Kweem! Popkohn!" Little Jun exclaimed and wriggled out of Jin Liwei's arms. His tears were immediately forgotten upon seeing his cat cousins.

Jin Liwei put him down so that the cousins could play together.

The two members of his tech team immediately recognized the two cats.

"Oh, it's Young Miss Ice Cream and Young Master Popcorn."

Popcorn also recognized them. The friendly cat greeted them with a quick meow. On the other hand, Ice Cream just gave them an indifferent look before proceeding to ignore them.

'Hmph! Two new slave-wannabes have come to my territory. Such nuisance,' her expression seemed to say.

"Sir boss! You're finally here!" Dom appeared. "Wuwuwu! Boss hasn't come out yet!!!"

Jin Liwei's expression turned extremely serious. His lips pressed together into a thin line.

"Distract my godson and take him and the cats out of the library. Give them to the nanny and then come back here," Jin Liwei told him.

Dom immediately obeyed. Just like the Pied Piper, he lured the toddler and the cats out of the library with the promise of yummy rice pudding (one of Little Jun's favourites) and kitty treats.

When they left, Jin Liwei led his subordinates and his two tech people in front of the nondescript door of the computer room.

Jin Liwei pressed the built-in intercom button but there was no answer. He tried calling his baby girl's phone a few times but his calls all went to voice mail. After several attempts of contacting her to no avail, he finally made his decision.

"Break it down," he ordered his subordinates.

They nodded and immediately examined the door.

"Master, this kind of door can't be pried open manually. We have to blow it up with controlled explosives."

Jin Liwei already figured as much. "Will Xiulan be safe inside?" he asked.

"Don't worry, Master. The explosives we'll use will only blow up the door's circuitry and its lock mechanisms. They wouldn't damage anything else besides the door. The Mistress will not be harmed."

"Alright. Do it."

"Understood, Master."

His subordinates immediately went to work. One of them distributed safety gears for everyone to wear while the others started preparing explosives.

Dom also returned. When he learned about their plan, he started freaking out but quickly calmed down when he was assured that his boss would be safe inside. He started praying in a corner instead.

The two tech people had no idea what was going on. They felt very confused. From what they gathered from the conversations, it seemed that the President's fiancée was trapped behind the locked door. They wanted to ask for more information but couldn't find the courage and the right timing. The atmosphere was too tense. Their President's aura was also more frightening than usual.

When one of the subordinates was about to start sticking the explosives on the door, it suddenly opened.

A shadow streaked out and tackled the man on the floor. He grunted, as his whole body reeled in shock from the cannon-like force that hit him from behind. But the worst thing was that his neck was violently pulled back from behind in a brutal stranglehold.

"Mi-mistress…ugh… I-it's me! Please let…go…."

The poor subordinate wheezed and quickly tapped his hand on the floor in desperate surrender. His vision was starting to black out. If this continued, he would soon lose consciousness.

"Love? Love! Love…calm down. It's us. It's me. Let go of him, okay?"

Jin Liwei quickly wrapped his arms around the attacker's body while gently trying to loosen her arms from completely choking his subordinate.

Iris finally recognized them.

"Darling?"

"Yes, it's me. Let go of him, love. He's losing consciousness," Jin Liwei told her in a calm but urgent tone.

"Oh, sorry." Iris quickly let go of the poor man's neck.

Jin Liwei helped her up but also pulled her quite a distance away from his subordinate who was now gasping pitifully on the floor.

Iris looked at everyone wearing safety gear. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion. Then she looked at the equipment on the floor. They looked familiar. It took her a few seconds before she was able to recognize them.

Her face contorted in anger.
