How fortunate…
No one was seriously injured.
“Where’s the explosives technician? Where’s the person in charge of the explosives? Are they licensed?” the police officers began to ask. That was when everyone realized that Elder Nangong was nowhere to be seen.
At that exact moment, Eric received a phone call from Nangong Quan, “I thought long and hard and couldn’t think of what to do. But, I think I know who you should be cautious of: the explosives technician.”
“Your phone call was a little late. Haven’t you seen the news yet?” Eric asked.
Nangong Quan furrowed his brows and asked his assistant to hand him his phone. That was when he read about the explosion at Kaleidoscope’s film studio.
Soon, Emma arrived on set and immediately ran over to hug Eric, “Lucky you’re OK…”
Eric returned his wife’s hug. If not for her phone call today, he may have already…
“I’m OK, I’m fine, don’t worry.”
“Let’s help the police with the incident first and chat when we get home,” Emma regained her logic as she turned to comfort the staff.
Seeing this, Eric instructed Luke to contact Fletcher so he could write out a detailed report of the incident.
In reality, Eric wanted Fletcher to sift through the incident carefully for any clues because he knew Luke wasn’t as detailed as him.
Afterwards, Kaleidoscope released a statement to confirm that there were no deaths. They also confirmed that the police were still investigating the cause of the explosion and an answer would be provided soon.
…
Of course, after such a huge incident that almost took Eric’s life, Elder Roberts returned to Hyatt Regency as soon as he saw the news.
“That old weasel is extremely tricky. It’s normal that you didn’t find anything. Twenty years ago, we also exhausted a lot of manpower and resources to send him to prison. Who would have thought that he’d go straight for my grandson’s life as soon as he was released.”
“It’s lucky that Emma reacted quickly this time…”
Eric did not say a word after returning home. He simply sat on the sofa and looked at his grandfather with a cold exp**ssion.
“If you managed the issue properly back then, no one would come back to seek revenge.”
“Who would have thought that he’d actually be released,” Elder Roberts humphed.
“Now that his plan failed, his identity has been exposed. He won’t use a fake identity to get close to us again. At least, this is a good thing,” Eric said as he stood up. “He’s got a group of followers that all want to take the Roborts Family’s lives. I’m afraid, there’s going to be drama when he returns to the Nangong Family Home.”
Elder Roberts humphed but didn’t say a word.
This was the first time he was scolded by someone younger than him.
“Let’s wait for Fletcher’s report and see what the situation is…” Emma said as she patted Eric on the back of his hand comfortingly. “At least, no one got hurt. That’s already the best outcome.”
“Now that he’s out in the open, he won’t be able to make a move so easily.”
Eric did not say a word, but his gaze was dark. After Elder Roberts left, he dragged Emma into the bathroom, filled the bathtub and lay down with her.
As Emma watched her husband’s eyes close, she asked, “Tired?”
“Just like Nangong Quan, I don’t want to be dragged into this mess. We simply want to live ordinary lives. No matter how old the grudges are, I don’t want you or the kids to be implicated.”
“But, you’ve already been implicated, what are you going to do?” Emma asked. “You can’t expect grandfather to shoulder it on his own. Besides, what he did back then wasn’t wrong.”
“Don’t force me to make a move,” Eric said calmly as he opened his eyes. However, Emma could see a darkness in his gaze that she had never seen before. “I don’t care if I get threatened or hurt, but if something happens to you…”
“I will definitely send him to hell…”
“Today, when your life was threatened, I already wanted to send him to hell,” Emma said as she cupped her hands around Eric’s handsome face. “Eric, don’t think of me as someone that’s weak. With you around, I have nothing to fear.”
“We’ve long been accustomed to the dramas in the industry. It’s just a simple revenge, isn’t that a common issue?”
“Let’s see how Nangong Quan handles the matter first. After all, that old weasel has no choice but to return home!”
Indeed…
Due to his failure, Elder Nangong had no choice but to get rid of his identity as the explosives technician, causing the police to be met with a dead end.
He then pretended that he had just been released from prison and returned home.
But, was Nangong Quan happy to see him?
No…
It wasn’t because he didn’t want to see his grandfather, but because the old man had just caused an explosion in someone else’s territory. Most frightening of all, his grandfather did not think that he did anything wrong and had absolutely no respect for the lives of others!
It was reasonable for Elder Nangong to return to the Nangong Family Home.
Those involved all knew what had actually happened with the explosion at Kaleidoscope’s film studio, but no one was killed, so Elder Nangong’s efforts went to waste. He never expected that Eric’s woman was different to the typical bimbo socialite wife because she was extremely cautious.
After the incident, Qiao Man asked Emma at their new film studio, “Did you call me to cancel the explosion scene because you sensed danger?”
Emma gently nodded her head, “To be honest, we’ve recently come across a small problem. Fortunately, no one was hurt.”
After hearing Emma’s response, Qiao Man smiled, “Can you guarantee that the crew is safe now?”
Emma remained silent for a few seconds before she nodded her head, “Don’t worry, every single person that enters or exits this studio has to go through a security check now. Even our extras have to go through a thorough selection process. There won’t be a safety risk like this again.”
“Since it came from your mouth, I’ll trust you. As for any personal grudges, I trust you guys can resolve it on your own. By the way, the explosives technician was the problem, wasn’t he?”
Emma once again nodded her head.
“I can’t believe that competition in the industry has reached this extent.”
Qiao Man thought it was just a matter of competition, but Emma did not further elaborate on her explanation. Since Elder Nangong had been brought into the light, the matter was now easier to handle.
After what happened, Eric became more strict towards his staff at Kaleidoscope. So, it didn’t take long before Fletcher’s report arrived on Eric’s desk, “Mr. Roborts, this is what you asked for.”
“You must have heard that Elder Nangong was released from prison. Utilize our network of contacts to keep him under surveillance; don’t let him find another chance to make a move,” Eric instructed. “Fletcher, this is very important. You should understand that it concerns the Roborts Family’s safety.”
Fletcher nodded his head and crossed his arms in seriousness, “From the moment you skipped Luke and came straight to me, I already sensed the seriousness.”
“If anything looks suspicious, attack, don’t hold back.”
“Understood,” Fletcher replied seriously.
Eric didn’t want Luke to get involved because he knew that Elder Nangong had his eye on Luke’s every move and he wouldn’t be able to do a thing.
More importantly, Luke was a relatively ‘honest’ person. In other words, he didn’t react as quickly as Fletcher.
That’s why Fletcher was a PR manager for so many years and the public believed there was no news he couldn’t smooth over.
Fletcher was now the vice president of Kaleidoscope, but at important times, Eric would leave him with huge responsibilities.
After Fletcher left, Eric walked over to his floor-to-ceiling window and looked into the distance. He didn’t know how he had become so merciful. If this was in the past, he would have already destroyed Elder Nangong.
Because of Emma, he held back too much…
Soon after, Kaleidoscope released an investigation report from the police and confirmed that the explosion was intentional. They also explained how the explosives technician had used a fake ID to get into Kaleidoscope’s film crew.
The police continued their investigation, but the public already had some brave speculations.
Who would hold such a huge grudge against the Roborts Family?
Who else but the Nangong Family?
“If the Nangong Family actually did this, then they’ve really stooped too low.”
“How could they blow up a film studio? Luckily, no lives were lost…”
“I guess, when a Big Boss goes up against another Big Boss, explosives are used.”
The netizens began to criticize the incident and pointed their fi**gers directly at Nangong Quan from Springfall.
