"Ch..angyu... Wh...at are you talking about right now?" Her mother was the first one to stutter in shock.
Why was she suddenly asking about something like that? Her eyes nervously quickly looked at the direction where her husband was standing. He was also looking at Changyu with wide eyes and his hands was beginning to shake just like hers.
"When there is a question, there should be an answer. You don"t ask back a question!" Changyu yelled at her mother.
"Give me the truth. I want it" She stretched out her hand like "the truth" was something tangible they could just hand over to her.
"I don"t know what you"re talking about. We...told you your baby was crema—"
Before her father could complete the sentence and say the word "cremated", Changyu already yelled at him also.
"It was what you told me. I"m asking for the truth right now!"
Her mother"s legs failed her so she supported herself with the couch.
They both knew their daughter had a really nasty temper and right now, she was being so scary.
The "crazy" way she was looking right now didn"t make it any better for them.
"Why are you looking at me like that? You think I"ve gone crazy again? Are you suddenly going to fly me to a psychiatric hospital abroad again?" A throaty laugh followed after her question; which sent s.h.i.+ver down their spines.
"We really don"t know anything Changyu. Why are you raising this issue now?" Her father asked in obvious fear.
Changyu smirked before lifting a little recorder on the table. She poked the play b.u.t.ton with a finger, letting her parents to hear their own voices.
("She won"t. She can"t possibly find out....right?") Madam Song heard her voice first and this time, her legs couldn"t support her anymore. She collapsed on the floor.
("We....we got rid of all of them involved. She won"t find out")
Madam Song remembered how she had thought that they handled everything smoothly.
("Wait.. Do you think she found out and that"s why she travelled out for all those years?")
("No, it can"t be. She would have done worse to us if she knew that we didn"t cremate her baby like we claimed")
The record stopped. She didn"t have to include the next part since her parents had simply brushed that issue aside and continued with their conversation on how to give the w.a.n.gs money instead of apologizing.
Changyu"s heart ached when she remembered how her father had said he would have gotten rid of Elder w.a.n.gs children if he had known that they were still in the country.
"You...were spying on us?" Her father asked in shock. He would have also collapsed on the floor just like his wife if he didn"t have a better stamina.
"Look at me. You know what I am capable of doing if I go crazy" Changyu stopped and blinked back tears.
"Every single day I feel like I am on the edge of going crazy. I feel like I"ll go mad and die without anyone finding out." Her teeth began to gnash involuntarily and her eyes turned bloodshot.
She suddenly begin to laugh and scratch her head
"Who would thought that the Almighty Song Changyu is a crazy person? Who would believe that the person they"re all dying to meet is battling with mental illness Ehn?"
She took quick steps to meet her father and held his hands like an obedient little daughter.
"If you want power. I"ll give you. If you want influence, money, fame... I"ll give you. Just give me the truth" She let his hands go and stretched hers in front of him.
"Chan..gyu" Her father called gently
"Don"t say anything if it"s not the truth. You told me you cremated my Son. You told me he died!"
She stopped talking and gasped. Her eyes shone while her eyes looked around the room like she was trying to find or think about something.
"I kept wondering why Anna suddenly resign. Even the bodyguards and maids..everyone left just like that. Oh my G.o.d!" She gasped louder this time
"Why didn"t I think about this? You killed them! You killed them to hide the truth!" Changyu accused with a look of disbelief written all over her face.
"Changyu please. You"re losing it. We should go to the hospital" Her mother pleaded.
"Shut the h.e.l.l up! No talking... Oh no! My ex-parents are murderers"
She used both hands to cover her mouth and began to pace around.
"Changyu..."
"I said no talking!" She screamed at her father.
After about a minute of silence, she took in a deep breath and looked at the both of them with cold and unreadable eyes.
"Tell me what happened to my son" She ordered in a gentle tone. "If you don"t, I"ll expose you for all your wrongdoings and would make sure you both rot in jail"
"Changyu please" Her mother who was still still sitting in the floor cried. "We did nothing. We didn"t cremate your child what we meant was....we buried him...yes... We buried him" Her mother knew there was no way out so she had to look for any way possible to get out if this.
Changyu looked at her father who bobbed his head up and down in agreement to what his wife had just said.
"Oh... You buried him? So why did you lie? Why did you say you cremated him?" She asked softly.
"We....we were scared you would want to know the grave and go there everyday" Her father said.
Changyu looked down and smiled eerily. "So...where is his grave? Where did you bury him?"
Both her parents looked at each other nervously.
"We...."
Changyu cut her mother off when she was about saying something. "Say it together. I want to know where you buried him. Say it together at the count of 5"
Madam Song adjusted into a kneeling position. "Daughter... It"s been a really long time. We can"t possibly remember where he was buried. Please my daughter" Madam Song tried to hold the hem of Changyu"s palazzo trousers but Changyu kicked her hand off.
"Good! Since you don"t want to say anything, I"ll do what I want to do now"
She quickly took her phone and dialed a number "Come in" She said to the person who took the call.
Immediately, four hefty bodyguards came in through the front door. They were in all black and even had sungla.s.ses on!
Elder Song and his wife looked at each other in fear and confusion before looking at Changyu. What was she planning to do?
Changyu looked at the four men and nodded at one of them. The man quickly took large strides to where she was standing and handed her his gun.
Her parents panicked and at this point, her father had no other option than to join his wife in a kneeling position.
"I could easily pull the trigger and guess what? I won"t go to jail!" Changyu said with a smile. "Worse comes to worse, they would rule it out because I am a crazy person"
She threw the gun back at the man who caught it easily. "I don"t want your dirty blood on my hands" She said to them before looking at the four men that were patiently waiting for her orders.
"These two.. lock them up in the bas.e.m.e.nt. Do not feed their bellies or quench their thirst. Make sure it"s as hot as possible for them. And....don"t be careful. As you all know, these people mean nothing to me. Treat them just like you would treat any murderer or criminal. And...do not let my mother"s weak cries fool you. She is a devil in disguise."
Her parents looked at her in shock. They couldn"t believe their ears.
She looked at the both of them and spoke softly "When you"re ready to talk, let me know. Until then, you"ll rot in there and no b.a.s.t.a.r.d can deliver you from my hands."
"You can"t do this to us" Her father said weakly.
"I can do anything. I am that evil. Take them away!" She ordered.
