503 He kicked me firs
To be on the safer side, Leo had arranged for the board meeting to be held in country S.
The sudden death of the CEO created an uproar in the entire Beck empire.
From the very beginning, the board members had always considered Leo as the most capable candidate for the CEO position. If not for Charles Beck's stubbornness and powers, Stephen would've never gotten the opportunity to become the CEO of Beck Enterprise.
Now that Stephen was dead, the path had been completely cleared for Leo and not even Charles Beck could stop him from becoming the CEO.
After taking the CEO's position, Leo was planning to shift the main headquarters of Beck Enterprise to country S and settle down in country S.
He also took his mother with him because Leo did not want any kind of connection with his father.

Early in the morning, Singtan woke up when he received a call from Zihao.
" Sir we found him." Zihao said.
Singtan smirked and said," Good, I'll be waiting for you all." Before hanging up the call.
Taking a deep breath, Singtan snuggled closer towards his wife and caressed her baby bump.
Dealing with Horus and Stephen was the last thing that Singtan had to do.
After handing over Horus to Songpa, Singtan had decided to take a leave from office and stay with his wife at home until she gave birth.
As Ming was about to step into her 34th week of her pregnancy, she couldn't move around much and needed someone to help her.
Just then, Ming smacked Singtans hand away and said," Don't press my stomach like that and help me up."
" Where do you want to go?" Singtan asked while helping her get done from the bed.
" I have to pee. The baby surely thinks that my bladder is some kind of a squeeze toy." Ming said before walking towards the washroom.
" Be careful honey." Singtan said.
After sometime, Quin knocked at their door and asked," Big brother, can I come in?"
When Singtan opened the door, Quin was standing in front of him with two bags which surely had baby products in them.
" I happened to pass a really cool baby store in US. So I bought a few things for my niece or nephew." Quin said before passing the bags to Singtan.
" Hmmm it's okay." Singtan said.
Quin rolled his eyes and said," your welcome."
" What are you doing here inside my room early in the morning?" Singtan asked.
" Well, I wanted to talk to you about Samuel." Quin said.
Pausing for a while, Quin said," Well, Rose and I mutually decided that we are willing to adopt Samuel if all the family members agree with us. I mean Samuel is a very sweet boy and we don't want him to feel lonely and live a life of an orphan. He and Ben are also getting along quite well and Rose seriously likes Samuel a lot and she was saying that there is no way she is letting him stay in an orphanage. But of course if you guys think that it's not appropriate then-"
Singtan smiled and said," Mother wanted either of us to adopt him. Initially I was planning to talk to Ming about it because you already have Ben to take care of."
" Ben and Sam are of the same age so it would be nice if they stay together all the time. They won't need anyone else after that. Since sister-in-law is about to give birth, she has to focus on the little one more whereas Rose was saying that it would be easier to take care of both of them together. I think it would be nice if Rose and I adopt him." Quin said.
Singtan nodded his head," It doesn't matter whether you adopt him or I do, in the end he is going to become a Li."
Quin smiled and nodded his head," Big Brother I need your help with this adoption thing."
Singtan nodded his head and said," I have already started the procedure. It will be done soon."
" Sam will be joining Ben's kindergarten soon. I have made all the arrangements." Quin said.
Patting Quin's chest, Singtan said," You are doing a great thing Quin. All you have to do is give me a cute little niece whom I can dote on."
Quin chuckled and said," Well I am on it." Rose and Quin had been trying to have a baby since quite some time. Though Quin still felt that Ben and Sam were more than enough, Rose still wanted to have a daughter.

Helping him fix his tie, Beth asked," Why so late?"
Songpa shook his head and said," I have no idea. Boss told me to come to the base neatly dressed."
" If big brother has called you then maybe it's something really very important." Beth said.
Wrapping his arms around her waist, Songpa asked," Will you be okay alone? I don't know how long I will be gone maybe I won't come back tonight. I can drop you off at Brother Peters place."
Beth thought for a while and said," Let's not trouble them so late at night. I'll be fine, don't worry about me so much."
" Ahh, how can I not worry after leaving my beautiful at home alone for an entire night?" Songpa said.
Beth chuckled and smacked his arm," How dramatic Mr boyfriend."
Kissing her forehead, Songpa said," I will go now. If anything happens, you will immediately call out for the guards who are standing outside and call me okay?"
Giving him peck on his lips, Beth said," Okay Boss."

Li base.
Patting Zihaos shoulder, Singtan said," You did a great job Zihao."
Zihao smiled and said," Thank you Boss."
" Where is Zechan?" Singtan asked.
" He has taken Ms Delilas father and brother to the hospital." Zihao said.
Singtan nodded his head and said," Let's go and greet our guest."
….
Inside the cell.
A man was lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
His legs were chained and he had a knife plunged in his right foot.
Singtan chuckled and asked," Who did that?"
" Boss he tried to kick me first." Zihao said gritting his teeth.
