Later that night, Xiao Mai cautiously snuck into Emp's personal kitchen to check on how her grandfather was doing in his everyday diet plan. The moment she entered, it was a relief to discover that no other servant was in sight. Hastily going about making her secret routine check, she got extremely concerned that the current stock of fresh vegetables and fruits turned out to be more than double the last time she estimated.

"It's either Grandfather is up to something by truly complying or he's skipping meals...I gotta watch him closely..." Xiao Mai decided. Following, the thought of Yi Shen Chuan currently being in America to attend his daughter's graduation ceremony made her resort to a bright idea of how to guard against Emp coming under the spell of his own reckless cravings. She took out her cellphone to send a text message.

When she was done, Xiao Mai again carefully headed to Emp's bedroom suite.

Arriving at the doorway, she was quite startled to find it unlocked and left ajar. She entered in silence and found out her grandfather was missing.

Meanwhile, out before the mansion, a truck driver slowly parked his vehicle with care as strictly requested.

"That's right...now, hurry and open up the trunk," a most urgent whisper by the great old man made everyone felt this was totally out of his style.

Cai simply found the situation he had led them all into extremely absurd, 'Oh, Emp...do you have to be this secretive? What if we got caught?"

The expression of Emp's face changed right away from that of humble pleading to sudden impatience, "Just what are you talking about? Come on, as long as the four of us keep our mouth shut...No one will know..." He then urged the rest of them to help him pulled out the heavy, fragile item out from the truck.

By the side, Ling found it most useless to oppose Emp, "Cai, since we have gone up to this far...Let's get this thing settled with as fast as we can..."

Also with them, Ying shook his head and sighed, "Especially before the Princess of the household finds out...Or even, the servants and guards..."

The four of them, with Emp included did their very best to move the fully-wrapped delicate life-size Swarovski crystal portrait frame out of the truck at long last. Yet, their strength was out to the test by the object's demanding weight.

On the other hand, down a certain hallway inside the mansion, Xiao Mai rushed swiftly to check the surveillance video control room while being overly worried that her grandfather might have gone missing. To her surprise, none of the guard was in there. A servant passing her by revealed that they have all been ordered by Emp to take a well-deserved midnight break.

Entering in by herself and cluelessly scanning from one monitor to another, Xiao Mai finally spotted Emp and the other three behaving suspiciously outside the mansion's entrance.

"What on earth is going on, Grandpa?" Xiao Mai was flustered and immediately hit one of the main buttons to sound the alarm.

"Hey, have we been caught?" Ling gasped upon hearing the deafening buzz.

"And...red-handed?" Cai lamented their impending doom.

"I did warn you all," Ying could not bear with their wishful thinking any longer.

Emp still attempted to look out for the best route that they can take just so to avoid Xiao Mai discovering them. "Why don't we forget about the main entrance and go all the way round to the back?" he prompted them anxiously.

"Stop right there!" Xiao Mai appeared out of the door and ran up to them.

Seeing Xiao Mai, Emp got a bolt of shock and instinctively let go of the weighty portrait frame they were all carrying firmly until one of its side fell off his grasp miserably and landed on his foot. The pitiful man yelped in excruciating pain as an unfortunate result.
