Qiao Ren was very much confused it felt like he knew who this Bingwen his wife kept asking about. At first, why did he say he had been looking for the letter that was in his wife's hands. Why did he cry when he read the letter who was this Bingwen. Why did it feel like he knew this Bingwen?

" You really don't know this Bingwen" Ju Feng sighed " the one who wrote the letter really sounded like they really liked you I really want you to answer me this one question, did I come between you and this Bingwen"

" I don't really know" Qi Ren was devastated the thought of this mysterious Xiao Bingwen made his heart and head hurt so much why did he cry at the thought of Xiao Bingwen.

" I am going to sleep in the east wing today" Feng Ju sighed, it has been a long day for her and after this, it was going to be a long night for her too.

" Xiao Bingwen  Xiao Bingwen Xiao Bingwen Xiao Bingwen Xiao Bingwen Xiao Bingwen Xiao Bingwen Xiao Bingwen Xiao Bingwen Xiao Bingwen Xiao Bingwen Xiao Bingwen Xiao Bingwen" Qiao Ren kept muttering " who the hell are you "


" Seungyoun went to find Lao Xian" Younghoon informed his husband over their dinner.

" How is he going to find Lao Xian when he is already retired" Xie Ran looked at his husband

" Why is he going to look for Lao Xian that is my question," Younghoon asked his husband even though he knew the reason Younghoon was going to fish it out by needing his husband.

" He came to my office the day before yesterday asking about Qiao Ren's first love, I didn't want to dig up anything so I dismissed him and sent him to you" he looked at his husband " Lao Xian retired 16 years ago how is he going to look for him"

" You should remember he is your son after all he won't rest or give up until he knows something" Younghoon pointed out the obvious " after all ' he is his father's son' "

" I am entirely going to blame my amazing genes on that"  Xie Ran laughed

The conversation was going to continue if it wasn't for the knocks from the in front of the house.

" Who is knocking at this hour" Younghoon looked over at the dining entrance as the butler rushed to open the door

"Ah! Qiao Ren what brought you here at this time" Younghoon stood to greet his friend. He looked over at his distraught friend " are you okay have you been crying"

" Who is Xiao Bingwen" Qiao Ren whispered the other two tensed.

" eh" Xie Ran

" Xiao Bingwen who are they, why do they sound like I know them, why does my heart feel pain every time I hear their name even my head, hurts, everything, hurts," Qiao Ren asked again before passing out in Younghoon's arms

Wang Yibo was enjoying Kiribati. The islanders were nice, he gets to enjoy the beautiful nature he even got to survey the little villages around the little island of Kiribati. He got to seat around with the village's chief and he got to talk about the issues affecting them. With the amount of information, he had obtained he would send it off to HQ for them to come up with the resources when the rest of the group was getting shipped in.

"Captain Wang there is a phone call for you" One of the cadets rushed to him as he was sitting there at the cliff enjoying the view of the horizon.

" Where is it from," Yibo asked turning to see the Cadet that was assigned to home as the tour guide.

" it is from Colonel Cho he says that it is urgent" Wang Yibo got up from his sitting place following the cadet in tow. Whatever made his uncle call him at this time must have been urgent, they must have been sleeping back in China.

" Hello"

" Yibo, thank goodness you are on the phone"

" Is everything okay"

" I would not say that everything is okay but we have everything under control for now I just want you to be prepared in case anything happens over here if it is for the worse or the better"

" What is going on uncle"

" Just in case anything happens you have to promise me you will be prepared for it son"
the way his uncle's tone went down it sounded like it was pretty serious

"What is going on uncle, is everything okay" Wang Yibo started to be frantic

" It is just your father was admitted to the hospital yesterday night and there are no signs of him waking up, for now, don't worry me and Younghoon have this under control if anything happens I will get you informed okay"

"What about mom is mom okay does she know about dad being in the hospital," Yibo asked

" your mom and your father..." the call got cut off out of nowhere

" What happened " Yibo turned to the cadets around there

" We don't know about it let us check it out captain" One of them rushed outside. She came back later reporting that the cellphone wires were down and they were going to be fixed in two to three business days.

Great, Wang Yibo was nearly halfway around the world on some little island that anybody barely knows exists with the only cellphone tower was only one in one town which worked by how the climate was that week or however it wanted to. Why did his father choose now to be admitted to the hospital, or is it one of the stunts he is pulling for him to go back home. But that didn't sound like a stunt his uncle was the one who called him not one of his subordinates and it sounded something must have gone down between his mom and dad. Was it a stunt or something serious, Wang Yibo kept asking himself. The chances of it being serious were most likely 10% but it being a stunt was more than 90% so Wang Yibo went with it being a stunt his father was more than capable of pulling some stupid shit for Yibo to go back to him.
