Feng Xinying was relieved when she heard that. "Su Lang said that this man belonged to an organization called Crocodile."
"Yes, that is one of the most powerful organizations now. As a matter of fact it is most powerful in the country right now. Its owner is a man whom no one has ever seen. He works in shadows. We tried our best to find information about it, but nothing has come up."
Feng Xinying nodded. "Thanks Uncle Su Haobing."
"You are welcome young miss," he said and got up from there to collect the empty food tray. He knew that after revealing so much truth, the young lady needed alone time.
When Su Haobing had left, Feng Xinying was at a loss of words. Everything that she had thought about her father was so much different than the reality. Her father was like an onion with layers and layers of secrets. What awaited her? She felt as though she was still in a tunnel of darkness. She wanted to see the light but there was none. At the moment all she had were numerous facts to deal with. She took a pen and paper and started writing what was apparent in front of her:
Fact 1: She was working in a movie.
Fact 2: She was the heir of the Feng Conglomerate, which her husband was taking care of very nicely.
Fact 3: She had a stepsister who wanted to kill her at every step.
Fact 4: She just found out that she was the head of an organization she didn"t even know existed until today.
Her mind was becoming fuzzy due to mental exhaustion and she dozed off. She had a dream that she was trapped in a well where there was no coming out from. She woke up with a start. She fumbled for her phone but soon realized that the phones of every student had been taken before they entered the premises of the building. They could never communicate with people outside. She got up feeling a little sad. She looked outside the window and found that it was already morning. She dragged herself out of the bed. Her muscles were still hurting from yesterday"s workout. She went to take a hot shower and was dressed in time for the cla.s.ses.
In the morning all the students were served with very healthy breakfast. That was the only time they would chat and meet other new students but Feng Xinying was never into talking to other people. She was very reserved. So when other people talked, she was hardly a part of their conversation. After breakfast she went to her cla.s.s. A group of students whom she had sat next to, found her odd.
It had been three days and Feng Xinying would only stay within herself. She never interacted with anyone. As a matter of fact when someone asked her the question, who she was, she answered, "I am a student just like you," with a smile, not wanting to reveal her true ident.i.ty. When she left, that girl felt insulted. After that day, she started making fun of her at any given point. Feng Xinying avoided her initially thinking it was light banter, but it started becoming serious when she became personal.
Feng Xinying"s body had become supple after one week"s training only. She was seeing very positive results and Su Lang was happy with her progress. However, in the evenings she would miss Xie Yuansheng a lot.
One day when she was as usual eating her meals in the hostel, that girl said, "It seems that you don"t have a tongue in your mouth or what? Why don"t you answer when I ask something?"
Feng Xinying stayed quiet.
"How dare you don"t talk to me? Do you know who I am?" that girl became furious as she stood up and pounded the table on which Feng Xinying was eating.
"Do I need to know you?" asked Feng Xinying looking straight into her eyes. One thing that she was being taught by Su Lang was patience. He said never attack an enemy if it can be taken care of without an attack.
"You- do you know who you are talking to?" That girl got all the more irked.
Listening to the commotion that girl"s friends came over and stood around her. "If I want you will be gone from this inst.i.tution with a hundred cracks in your bone. I am the daughter of the finance manager here and into the core group which Su Haobing is maintaining."
Feng Xinying took a spoon of soup in her mouth and then looked at that girl from top to bottom.
"Are you trying to measure me?" that girl asked.
Around Feng Xinying there were two boys and two girls, all of them muscular and very tall. They could easily pick her and throw out. "Answer her question!" yelled one of them.
Suddenly a young girl came running inside and said, "Who is Feng Xinying here? There is a man waiting for her outside the main gates."
"Who?" asked the girl not wanting to let Feng Xinying go.
