The police officer once again went to the hospital. Zhuang Lei was now conscious. Hua Rong and Hua Mei were there as well.
Seeing the police officer, Hua Rong told Hua Mei to go to the garden and play by herself. Of course, she was happy to do that.
After she left, Hua Rong asked, "Did you find Xiao Lan?"
The police officer sat on a chair and said, "No, we cannot find any trace in that road as Mrs. Hua described. Since there was no surveillance camera we didn't find any evidence."
He didn't say that he looked into Zhuang Lei and Hua Rong's call history but he found no suspicious call. He also checked in she and the kidnapper had any connection in China and Japan as well. But he found nothing, maybe they hid everything too well.
He continued, "I just heard that Mrs. Hua was used to hurt Ms. Lan and thus she had to go to jail, is that true?"
Zhuang Lei knew that she had to face it. She wept and said, "It was my fault. I thought that she was related to my sister's car accident. I thought that my sister died to save her. So, I mistreated her. I didn't know back then. When I found out, I apologized to her and never hurt her again. I took care of her more than I did it to my own daughter."
The police officer nodded. "Very well, today I talked to the agents who takes care of Ms. Lan's welfare. They told me about Ms. Lan's bank balance. It was written in the documents that Ms. Lan's money and her belonging's will be in care of the agents of the bank until we get any news of her. If she is dead, her money and her parents' savings and property will be taken by the Chinese Historical Department. If she isn't dead, but still missing, then her money and her parent's property will be taken care of by the agents. As an intelligent citizen and the daughter of two priceless gems, she is an asset for Chinese government. As long as we cannot find her, she will be in the missing list. We, the Japanese law and government or the Chinese government won't call her dead until we find her corpse. Both Japanese and Chinese governments gave their statements."
He looked carefully at the Hua couple. Zhuang Lei was silent and Hua Rong nodded. "Alright. But please look for her. Her life is more important. Don't talk about corpse. Try to find her alive."
"We are trying our best." The police officer nodded and left.
Zhuang Lei covered her head. 'Gone! Everything is gone! The money and the property, everything!'
She knew that the bank won't let any outsider to interfere with Hua Lan's parents' money and property. As she is still a child, the bank didn't tell anything to her. They didn't believe her aunt, Zhuang Lei, since it was written in the will that no one could interfere or use the property and money except for their daughter.
Still, Zhuang Lei hoped that after this eyesore was gone, she could have everything for herself. But now, she had nothing. 'Sister, you did everything on purpose, didn't you? You got love, admiration, intelligence, beauty, good result, head full of ideas, man you love, daughter with the man you love, money, house, lots of assets… everything. And you left me with nothing, giving everything to your daughter. Why didn't you give me anything? Why did you have to consume all? You wore expensive dress and jewelries. You flaunted your love everywhere you go. Because of you, I was in the shadow every single moment. You have no idea how much I hate you!'

Zhuang Lei trembled in anger. She was angry to the point her temperature rose. In the end, she became unconscious and suffered from high fever.
How much hatred a person could have to the point to lose consciousness and have a high fever?

In China, Nero came back to the house. Nick was in the living room, drinking tea and reading newspaper.
Nero ungently said, "Ms. Lan has been kidnapped."
Nick stood up from his seat. "What did you say?"
Nero explained, "The Hua Family went to Kyoto, Japan. They were in a business party. Their daughter shoved Ms. Lan. She fell and cut her hands. Zhuang Lei took her to the hospital, but the driver kidnapped her. Zhuang Lei went to the police station. Now, they are looking for her, but there is no trace of her. It seems that she vanished in the thin air."
Nick clenched his fists. "That b**ch! She deliberately did it! She sold her off. Such a cute girl…. How could she do that to a five years old girl? Monster! Find the baby girl. Then, I will deal with that ugly b***h."
"Yes.." Nero left.
Nick called Nala. She received the call immediately. "Yes, boss?"
"Two billion dollars and the house both are in the kid Lan's name, right?" Nick asked.
Nala couldn't understand why she was asked this question two years later. Still she answered. "…Yes, boss."
After buying the house with Nick's money, the house and the money both were transferred to Hua Lan without anyone knowing it. It was in the will. Once Nick was going bankrupt and so Professor Ryuren helped him with two billon dollars. This time, Nick paid the money back. They were able to hide the information of transferring property because, the bank was Nick's own. Since there were only director, manager and Nick himself were taking care of Hua Lan's account, the secrecy was hidden well. Two agents were his loyal employee who were taking care of Hua Lan's welfare.
"The kid, Lan is missing in Japan. Zhuang Lei may go to the lawyer to look at the wills of Ms. Lan. She may also make trouble. Don't let her create any havoc." Nick instructed.
