After setting up the devices, one of them was sent to Yu Tian via the old man. Don''t know h transported them, it took full four days for the phone to reach the obscure place Yu Tian was staying at. However, discretion was more important here, so Mei Qingyang waited and waited. And on fifth day, her own phone buzzed with activity.

    "Hey," she picked up excitedly but words did not come out of her mouth when it was actual time of taking.

    "Qing Qing, is that really you? The note did say it was from you but I was so suspicious before I took the chance. Not many people know of this location anyway, so I had to give it a try," YU Tian rambled on the other side. Hearing him all fine and chirpy, Mei Qingyang was very relieved. She had no idea how he was faring all alone there. He was in a vulnerable state when she had let him go. But he sounded fine over the phone.

    "Yeah, senior Yu, it really is me. I''m glad you''re doing good. You wanted to talk to me?" she went straight to business.

    "Of course I''ve been wanting to talk to you the moment you and I parted after our trip. But you''re so heartless, you didn''t even write to me!" Mei Qingyang could hear him pouting through the phone. It seemed like he was doing too great over there to make such a cheesy joke.

    "Ahem ahem," she heard another voice in the background, most probably Yu Bufan. Mei Qingyang could not help but snicker at the pair. A shy smile floated on her innocent face. She wished she could see them in person but it was impossible as of now. She had to wait two more weeks.

    "Cough, anyway, Qing Qing, have you shifted to my house already? Just so you know, you can directly take my bedroom, okay? You do not need to be in that servant quarter." Now that she had officially accepted the title of Yu Tians ''servant'', she was entitled to stay at his place.

    Furthermore, each wealthy kid''s room had a small room attached to it, which was designated for their official servant. Apart from that, the rooms were made in such a way that there were more quarters for other maids and butlers. Just like Yu Tian''s room, where Mrs. Zhao and other people had their own rooms.

    But she would also get a separate room of her own, which would be just a door away from Yu Tian''s. Now, this was done so that there were no ''inconveniences'' at night, and the master could easily ''access'' their servants whenever required.

    Mei Qingyang hesitated a bit before answering the question carefully.

    "Umm… I actually have not. I have been pretty busy lately, so I did not get time at all. Plus, I don''t think Mrs. Zhao would be very happy if I just barged in your house like that," Mei Qingyang replied. Truly, she did not care about them. But she had a suspicion on Mrs. Zhao as well and she did not want to be reporting everything to her as the head maid. She had much work to do, and she required peace for that. Her heart did warm up on hearing that she could take his bedroom.

    "That Mrs. Zhao. Are you afraid of her? I will fire her if you want," Yu Tian wanted nothing but best for his kitten. If that Mrs. Zhao was a nuisance to her, he would fire her on the spot. He had already seen her attitude towards Mei Qingyang. He just needed an excuse to let her go.

    "Oh no, no, I don''t want anyone to be fired because of me. She would be a good pawn for us to use. Do not take any decision in haste. Anyway, you wanted to talk to me about something urgent?" Mei Qingyang replied hurriedly. She was confident he would have ordered Yu Bufan already to go ahead, so she had to stop him in time.

    "Have you heard anything about Yu island?" he asked.

    "I have been coming across this term quite frequently lately. Why do you ask?" She had already told him about it when she saw her dad looking into it. But he was bringing up the topic again.

    "Apparently, Yu Rong is also searching for dad. I had always thought she was the only one who knew his location and was in touch with him. Despite her being adopted into the family, she was doted upon like a real member. My grandpa really adored her, so did my dad. I don''t know why he would cut his relations off with her as well." Yu Tian was not very well versed in his own family''s history.

    He had not seen his grandpa and his dad had shut himself off after his mom had died. He was only one years old then. He never had even the shadow of his own dad in his life. He was actually raised by Yu Rong and Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao was the one who told him stories of his past family when he was young. From her stories, Yu Rong was very well loved, although no one knew why she turned out to be such a pervert.

    "Oh? So, they both happened to be looking for your dad at the same time? Is there anything going on with the company?" Mei Qingyang asked after thinking about it a bit. Why else would everyone be looking for the owner of the Yu empire otherwise? Why the sudden interest?

    "There is some movement, yes. But if I see, you mean to say… people are planning to fight for the ownership?" Yu Tian was confused. By right, everything was supposed to be his. And he was an a.d.u.l.t already. It was true that he had neglected Yu empire for far too long in favor of his own endeavors. But to think people would fight over his birthright.

    "I mean, that is the only thing that is coming to mind. You dad has been away for quite some time and he has only been working behind the scenes. No one knows if he is really dead or alive. And who is handling everything in his absence, if he truly is not there. Shareholders might be anxious. Anyway, your dad should be at about his retirement age, I would assume?" she explained her rationale, which made perfect sense to Yu Tian. God, why was this girl so smart?

    "Okay, Bufan will look into this. But is this going to be a race between your family and mine to see who can find that person first?" Yu Tian chuckled lightly.

    Mei Qingyang knitted her brows. If she knew her dad well, he would have already discovered the island and perhaps gotten his hands on Yu Ming too. That would be dangerous, not only for the man himself, but for Yu Tian too.

    Yu Tian heard her serious tone. He was not sure what was going on in her mind once again. Why did she need to keep him in so much mystery?

    "Can''t you tell me your reason this time too?" Yu Tian would believe her nonetheless, but could she really not share anything with him yet again?

    "Do not worry, I will tell you the whole thing when we meet in two weeks. I will have to give a lot of backstory to you. That is why I do not want to alarm you right now. I know you trust me wholeheartedly, and you are free to look into it. But I will just say, it is a dangerous situation for you, otherwise I would not have warned," she tried to tell him in roundabout way.

    Sure their devices were not being monitored. She had made everything secure about their little transmission. And she was in their secret place right now, with no one else present there. But she was still not trusting of the fact that Yu Rong did not know about this place. Fan family might have been the one to build this place, but the relationship between Yu family and Fan family were especially great.

    "Fine, you have my full trust. Let me know if you need anything else. When will we talk again?" now that their conversation was coming to an end, Yu Tian did not want to let go. Mei Qingyang was feeling the same. She could just listen to his s.e.xy voice forever.

    She laughed on hearing his question. Their minds and hearts were so much in sync that it wasn''t even funny.

    "These phones are our own, no one can trace them. You are free to call me whenever. I have this phone with me all the time, because I cannot let anyone discover it. I will answer or reply as soon as I can," she replied in her melodious voice.

    "Then, just don''t put it down. I am okay without you speaking, but I want you to be present," Yu Tian said in a slightly pleading manner. Mei Qingyang sighed, she did not want to part either. But they had work to do.

    "Senior Yu, I will look into this Yu Island some more. You please keep an eye on the company situation, okay? I will talk to you as soon as I can," with this she cut the call. She had to be the brave one if he was not willing. She stretched her arms and went back to her old laptop to look into the doc.u.ments her agent had sent her. There was so much information in there that she was only halfway through. Now she could solely focus on that part.
