They finished lunch and went to the tenth floor where the meeting was supposed to be held. Suddenly, Feng Xinying remembered how w.a.n.g Zirong had kidnapped her and held her captive on that floor. She remembered how she had tied her and had given her the drug. She clasped Xie Yuansheng's hand tightly and felt winded. Xie Yuansheng immediately circled his arms around her. He realized that she had recalled those memories of her kidnapping. Immediately he picked her his arms as she buried her head in his chest. "Shush, sorry darling. I am sorry," he said whispering and trying to calm her. 

Other managers who were also present there didn't know what had happened that Feng Xinying felt so sick. Xie Yuansheng asked his secretary to change the venue of the meeting. He stepped in the elevator holding her in his arms and pressed the b.u.t.ton of his office floor. "Shushhh, darling," he calmed her on the way as she shrank in his arms. It was an experience she wanted to extract from her memory, but every time she thought about it, she felt as if someone had blown the wind out of her chest. 

He took her to the office and made her sit on the sofa. Offering her water, he said, "I am sorry darling. I should have been more careful." He stroked her hair. "Do you think you can attend the meeting?" 

Feng Xinying face was pale. She drank water and nodded. "Can we change the venue of the meeting?" She asked with fear in her eyes. 

"I have already changed the venue, darling," he replied with concern. "And from now on, there would be no meeting on the tenth floor!" 

Feng Xinying gave a faint smile. "Let us go," she said. She got up from the sofa, held to his hand and together they walked out of the office. 

The meeting was supposed to be held on the fifth floor conference room. In the meeting they were people from the finance group and vice president of finance. The company lawyers were also sitting. Feng Xinying sat down near Xie Yuansheng. Everyone saw Feng Xinying and became all the more attentive. They had to show their best faces to the owner. Until today they thought of her as young girl trying to carve her niche in the business world, today they had to carve their way into her good books. 

Xie Yuansheng opened the statement and said, "I would like the company to become private. We have been public limited from a long time and do you think it is fine to convert ourselves into a private limited?" 

The Vice President said, "We may face challenge by other major shareholders."

"Do you mean that we are going against the law?" asked Feng Xinying. She supported her husband fully. 

"No- no Ma'am," replied the Vice President. "It's just that by doing so, it restricts the right to freely sell the shares in the market. Also for this kind of thing we need to pa.s.s a special resolution with the board members."

The lawyer spoke at this juncture. "Twenty years back Mr. Lim Chuen's group suppressed the fact that they wanted to sell up to ten percent of their shareholding in the Feng Conglomerate and were prevented by Mr. Feng Zhantian. They were not following the appropriate transfer procedures that are laid down in the Articles of a.s.sociation of the company. After that once again this issue was raised and it was Mr. Lim Chuen who had been against this decision. At that time there were a number of board members who were on his side. Hence in order to pa.s.s this resolution within the board, we have to move very carefully." 

Xie Yuansheng nodded and replied, "Well, for one we do want to restrict the right to freely sell the shares in the market." 

Feng Xinying was listening to the conversation but her mind wandered back to twenty years when her mother met with the fatal accident. Was there any connection between her accident and her father preventing Lim Chuen from selling the shares? It was highly possible. 

"As for pa.s.sing a special resolution with the board members, please set up a meeting as soon as possible with the board members," said Xie Yuansheng. "In how much time will this come into effect once the resolution is pa.s.sed?" 

"Sir, maybe at least a month," answered the lawyer.

"In that case go with it from today onwards! I want the company to become private limited as soon as possible!" said Feng Xinying with a stern voice. 

"Yes Ma'am!" 

After that other things in the meeting were discussed. All the while Feng Xinying kept thinking as to why her father wanted to prevent this kind of a thing. Once the meeting was over, it was already 5PM and Feng Xinying wanted to have some sleep. 

Xie Yuansheng had so wished that she would sleep there but he wanted her to be comfortable and so he sent her home. In the meanwhile he called his architect and asked him about the progress of the room that he was planning to build to rest during the lunch hours. He wanted that room ready for his wife and also his future kid who he would love to be with. 

After Feng Xinying left the office, Xie Yuansheng finished his normal office hours and was planning to leave for home, when his man called him. 

"Boss, what do we do with the secretary? It's been three days and his family are on the lookout. They are planning to file a missing person case in the police now."

Xie Yuansheng narrowed his eyes and said that he would be there in another thirty minutes. He had already got the experts to look at the metadata of the video. He reached the place where his men held the secretary captive. When he reached there, he saw that the secretary was tied with very tight ropes on his hands and legs.
