Whispering the name, Leo made a decision.
“It seems that I need to go to city B.”
Luke listened and asked, “Do you think Claire is in city B?”
“Juan has tried his best to monitor me. He must have lost Claire and didn't know where she is. Now suddenly there is a new movement, which is bound to have something to do with Claire 's whereabouts. I can't let go of any possibility. This time, I have to go.”
“Then I'll go with you.”
“No, you stay and watch the company, lest Juan plays tricks.”
Luke could not resist Leo, so he had to agree.
“Dad, let me go to city B with you.” Conan volunteered.
Before Leo speak, Luke says, “I think it's a good idea. If you have a new idea, you won't be so impulsive. You can have some scruples.”
“And I found something interesting. Someone was monitoring dad's cell phone and Internet information.”
“Didn't you know that before?”
“No, I mean, except that person, someone else is monitoring. And these are two forces, both of which want to encroach on each other's strength.”
Conan seems to have found an equal opponent and is eager to try, “It is said that the enemy of the enemy is our friend. Maybe we can find the hidden force and use them for us.”
Seeing Conan's interest, Leo nods and says, “Since you want to play, let's go together. Let's go to city B and get your mother back.”
“Well, good.”
Luke looks at the father and son, and says uneasily, “Be careful, don't be impulsive. Call me whenever you need help.”
“Oh, I see. Uncle Luke, you are getting more and more verbose.”
“I've lost your mother, and I don't want to lose you.”
Although Leo and Conan are relieved, Luke still can't forgive himself.
If they can get Claire back this time, it's best. If anything happens…
Bah bah, what can happen? It is sure that Claire will be brought back, and their family will reunite!
Seeing Luke's face changing, Leo walks over, pats him on the shoulder and said, “Don't think about it, it's all over.”
Bitter smile, Luke nods.
“By the way, we can get rid of all the people who have left Juan by my side.”
Looking up at Leo, Luke asks, “All of them?”
“Yes, all!”
In order to find Claire's whereabouts, Leo has been forbearing. Now, none of this is needed.
...
Although the training is very hard, every half month, MG company will give trainees a day off.
Boring days become hopeful because of this day off. Like Ashley, she loves the bustle, and also counts the days and looks forward to it.
She draws a fork on the calendar board. Ashley's eyes are crooked, showing a strange look.
Looking back at Claire, Ashley asks, “It's going to be the rest day soon. How do you plan to arrange it?”
How does Claire dare to have any arrangement? Of course, she only wants to stay in the dormitory and not go anywhere.
After listening to Claire's decision, Ashley feels incredible.
“Aren't you? You have to stay in the dormitory to get moldy after a hard day's rest? Take advantage of the good days, we should go out together!”
“I'm afraid that I can go out but have no chance to return.”
Eyes turns a circle, Ashley asks, “Are you worried about meeting Juan?”
Claire nods in silence.
“Last time, Juan doesn't find any flaws. Don't worry.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad
The storyline could have been better -- organization and cohesion of episodes could stand improvement, ending could have been more definitive resolving the many conflicts between the protagonists. Of course, the despicable treatment of Leo towards Claire initially, e.g., selling her off in an auction and giving her to the madam of the club as princess is inhuman and a violation to the wife's rights and honor. I was wondering why she did not leave after these maltreatments. Oh, well, the conclusion [if the narrative ends in Chapter 488] is quite disappointing and anti-climactic. Thank you just the same....
The end of the story is wanting, considering how the episodes build up to conflict after conflict and concluding in yet another conflict. But then c'est la vie! Thank you....
