Chapter 81 - Meeting In The Secret Room
One, restore the glory of Zhang Group.
Two, find another Zhishu for my brother, Yushen.
Three, improve my relationship with my birth mother. I think this is the most difficult for me. No matter how much you hate me, but I will still try to understand it.
Four, get rid of Mother Wang hatred for me. It\'s also quite difficult. Because I know her hatred for me is ingrained.
If only Wang\'s mother knew how much I love her. Many times he tried to kill me, but really it didn\'t reduce my love for him one bit. Tell me if I\'m naive! But, my love is sincere to Mrs. Wang.
Five, give happiness to my whole family. I hope they will always be happy. Whether or not I\'m on their side.
"A-Feng?" A voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Gage?"
I started to occupy myself with drawing the design of the robot garden building when Yushen entered this study.
"You haven\'t slept yet, eum? Please don\'t make things worse, A-Feng! You just got out of the hospital a few days ago."
Yushen stared at me intently.
Oh come on, Lao Yu! Don\'t pity me like this! It hurt my pride.
I just give a little smile as reaction.
"Rest, A-Feng! You don\'t have to work so hard anymore!"
"I\'m fine at the moment, Gege. I could die at any moment. So I\'m fine right now."
For some reason, the words just slipped out of my mouth. I can\'t deny that there is a sense of hopelessness.
"Stop talking about death, you idiot!"
Yushen banged on the table and threw away everything on it. Now, my documents are falling apart.
I stood up and now faced Yushen.
"Why really, huh? You don\'t like me working like this? You want me to be forgotten, Lao Yu? Then, what contribution can I make to this Zhang family if I just lie on the bed, huh?!"
I was starting to get annoyed with him. Actually no, this is more accurately called my attempt to appear strong in front of Yushen.
Yushen then embraced me, the warm embrace of a brother to his brother.
"Please, don\'t talk like that again, A-Feng! I promise, I\'ll do whatever it takes to save you. Trust your brother!" Yushen spoke quietly.
I remained motionless, did not return the hug. For some reason, my tears just fell.
Stupid! Why am I crying so much lately, huh? Is this pre-death syndrome? Ah, I don\'t know.

This morning, I will start back to the office. This time, Yushen also joined the Zhang Group branch company in Sanya, Hainan Island.
I don\'t know why Yushen did all this. Just for work or just Yushen\'s excuse for wanting to protect me? Or Yushen wants to see the seconds of my death? Who knows.
But, I\'m happy to have Yushen beside me. At least, I spent my last time with my dear brother, Zhang Yushen.
I entered the meeting room casually. Yushen followed behind. The entire board of directors has been waiting for my decision on all these matters. I know their misgivings. Of course, everyone doesn\'t want to lose in business, right?
Yushen sat next to Manager Liu. I sat on the very end of the chair.
I took a deep breath, before finally getting up and starting the meeting.
"Good morning, Board of Directors. We apologize for the recent chaos. Don\'t worry, Zhang Group will bear all the losses."
I started the meeting.
"But, Young Director Zhang, the company is currently in bankruptcy. Foreign investors also don\'t want to invest in our company anymore," said Manager Liu, which made me flinch a little.
"I\'ll try to find foreign investors. Please, give me a few weeks," I replied confidently. I don\'t know after this I will look for investors so quickly.
"Very well, Young Director Zhang. We will give you 5 months to complete the robot garden project again," said Mr. Jiang on behalf of the shareholders.
"Okay, I promise," I said, putting on a face that was so reassuring.
I saw the board of directors nod in agreement. From their gazes, they seemed to be relying on me a lot. Alright, I won\'t let them down. I promise.

Yushen and I exited the office building in a hurry. Well, we\'re going to Japan for a few days.
I\'ve been thinking about it since last night. No matter what they think of me, but only Grandpa named Watanabe Yoshinori can help me right now.
I opened the car door before Yushen grabbed my arm.
"Where are you going, A-Feng?"
"Why are you asking that again, Lao Yu? Didn\'t I explain earlier if we had to go to Japan. So, we have to go to the airport immediately. Where do you think, huh? Come on, Lao Yu! We\'re being chased by a deadline right now," I said while threw Yushen\'s hand
"Why bother getting on a plane?"
"You mean?" I frowned and stared at Yushen, waiting for Yushen to speak.
"Did you forget, A-Feng? Don\'t we have this Jade Bracelet?" As he spoke, Yushen showed us a pair of Jade Bracelets that were ours.
"With this, it\'ll be quicker to get to Japan, right?" he added again.
"Hahaha ... you still have it, Lao Yu? I thought you threw it away because it reminded you of Wu Zhishu," I said in disbelief.
Jeez, did I mention Zhishu again? I\'m stupid!
Yushen\'s face was now gloomy.
"I\'m sorry, Gege!" I said looking down, sad. I\'m really sorry for bringing up Zhishu earlier.
"Remember, A-Feng! Don\'t talk about that woman again in front of me! I don\'t care about that traitor anymore. Right now, you are my only priority, A-Feng," said Yushen, which made me tear up.
Since when did Yushen become this sweet?
I smiled at him and tried to change the subject. I grabbed a Jade Bracelet from Yushen\'s hand and put it on.
Yushen also did the same thing, wearing the other Jade Bracelet.
"Well, this Jade Bracelet is really useful, so it can get to Japan faster too right?" I said, to which Yushen gave a small nod.
We put the Jade Bracelets we were wearing together, and said together, "Yokohama, Japan"

-Tranmoz Royal Palace, Gefroren City-
Vin, King Glen and Mermaid Queen are gathered in a secret room, which is in one of the rooms in this magnificent palace.
"Grandmother, is there no way to free father from the seal of the Black Mountain?" King Glen started the conversation.
"Grandma doesn\'t know, Grandchildren."
The Mermaid Queen bowed.
"But, Grandma, wasn\'t it when I was little that our father was confined like this too?" asked Vin, looking alternately at his grandmother and eldest brother.
"That\'s right, Vin. But, grandma doesn\'t know how Lord Jack got out of the seal. Lord Jack only said that he was saved by a Mortal who was holding a square object that emits fire. I suspect that it is exactly the same thing that Yushen brought, humans who came here a few weeks ago." The Mermaid Queen spoke.
"Does Grandma think that it was Yushen who saved our father first?" King Glen asked, curious.
"That\'s impossible, Glen. It happened about 50 years ago. Yushen probably wasn\'t born then." The Mermaid Queen responded.
"But, I can find many such things in the Human Realm," interrupted Vin, the innocent darling of the entire Greyrat clan.
"But, this is different, Vin. That thing has blood spots that can\'t be removed even if it\'s washed," said the Mermaid Queen again.
"Then, how do we know that what happened was true or just a hallucination of our father, Grandma? It could be that our father, who was in a weak state at that time, even recognized him wrongly. Actually, it was God who saved father, not Human."
King Glen spoke his mind. Don\'t know why, King Glen is very sensitive when it comes to that mortal called \'human\'. King Glen was still annoyed that Yushen and Sifeng abused Lilyan that time.
After hearing King Glen\'s words, the Mermaid Queen nodded once. She was stunned for a moment. Suddenly something crossed her mind.
"There is only one way, My Grandchildren. In the Land of Crystals there is an ancient library. It is in the palace that governs the land. There is a manual for removing Gods from any seal. Also on how to save other beings," explained Mermaid Queen.
"I\'ve never heard of that country, Grandma?" said Vin, who felt it was the first time he heard the name \'Land of Crystals\'.
"The Land of Crystals is a free land. It is detached from your father\'s rule as the leader of the 3 realms. It is between the God Realm and the Demon Realm. No one has ever made it there.
"Either that land really exists or it\'s just a legend. However, the ancestors of the Land of Fire-Water said it was true."
