The girl furrowed her brows as she listened to Shou Wu"s words and tried to digest them completely. Just what had happened ? The girl carefully moved Xi Yuan"s hand away , which was placed upon her waist and separated herself from him. She then quickly got off the bed and exited her bedroom , rus.h.i.+ng into the living room as she switched on the TV."The famous "Spotlight" movie diva , Ningtao , was found unconscious in the pool of her own blood in her hotel room last night. Apparently , the actress was stabbed thrice into her lower abdomen by a field knife.
"The actress"s a.s.sistant was the first one to find her , early this morning at 7:00 a.m. She was taken to the Elite Multi-Speciality Hospital by the crew members of her upcoming movie. She is still under surgery and a ma.s.sive crowd of fans have surrounded the hospital building , showing their support to their inspiration.
"Her husband , President Lu Wei of Lu Corporations has been informed about the situation as well and he is already on his way to City M , sources report. Stay tuned with us to get the latest updates on the matter !", the female journalist reported.
The moment the reporter"s words reached Rong Xinghe"s ears , the TV remote slipped down her hand as she stood frozen , registering the sudden turn of events. Her sister-in-law was attacked last night... Hadn"t she spoken to her just yesterday ? Then how could something like this happen so suddenly ? And why ? Who the f*cking h.e.l.l did it ?! As all those questions stormed inside her mind , Rong Xinghe"s eyes turned a few shades darker and she clenched her fists tightly , rage overtaking every other emotion in her mind. It was time for the satan inside her to wake up ! It was time for destruction !
The girl wiped her tears , which had slipped down her eyes subconsciously , without her realizing and started searching for her phone throughout the living room. At this time , a pair of strong arms rested against the girl"s waist and pulled her into a tight yet warm embrace , allowing her to calm down her mind slightly.
"Xinghe... I will arrange for my chopper. Don"t worry about getting there. Just talk to your brother first. I can"t imagine what he is going through right now. Alright ?", the man said after sometime ,"And let me know if you need something else."
As usual , Xi Yuan"s voice was no less than any hypnotism for the girl , during situations as strenous and sore as these. Rong Xinghe took a deep breath before she parted herself from the man and nodded her head at him , obediently. She needed to stay composed , for her brother and baby Alix. Her family needed her at this point of time , more than anything.
"I will take a shower first , else my head will explode with anger.", the girl said in a shaky and weak tone , looking into the man"s eyes ,"I will call bro Lu after that. Just be quick with the arrangements , Yuan. We don"t have time. Three... stabs can be... really dangerous."
The man nodded his head and pulled out his phone as he made a phone call to Xi Fang. Meanwhile , Rong Xinghe rushed inside her bedroom and instructed Shou Wu to prepare her security team as she loaded her Glock .45 GAP gun.
"Would it be proper for the Military Chief of the nation to get involved into a case of attempted murder , Ma"am ?", Shou Wu asked , wiping the beads of sweat covering his forehead. He already had a bad feeling about this. Rong Xinghe"s composed tone was more scary and frightening than her anger right now. It was definitely the silence before the storm , he concluded.
"Depends on the mastermind. If it is that Diablos guys or any other terrorist , then it is the Military Chief"s business. And if it doesn"t concern the armed forces , it is still my business.", the girl disconnected the call with her simple words , making her intentions completely clear to the old man.
Shou Wu was in a state of utter shock for few minutes , even after the call was cut. It was oficially over for whoever had planned all of this. Rong Xinghe"s calm tone was the indication that she was planning a barbaric destruction. Although she hated bringing her family into work , she didn"t showed an ounce of mercy to those who harmed or defamed her family. She would use all her strength , whether shady or professional , in order to ensure a ruthless end of her enemy. The mastermind behind this attack was definitely doomed this time.

Elite Multi-Speciality Hospital , City M :
Lu Wei finally reached the hospital entrance at 8:45 a.m. , followed by Zhi Xi and Zhi Bo , who were already there with him when he had recieved the call from Ningtao"s a.s.sistant. But before the men could even walk into the hospital , they were surrounded by the paparazzis , who started attacking them with all the questions they had.
"Mr. Lu ! What are your views about the incident ?!"
"President Lu ! Could you tell us if Mrs. Lu was going through any form of rivalry in the industry that you know of ?"
"Mr. Lu ! How come the Superfamily was unable to provide proper security to one of their member ? Or is this a case of internal family battle ?"
"Does Military Chief Rong has any idea about Mrs. Lu"s situation ? Where is she ?"
"Any updates on Mrs. Ningtao"s situation , President Lu ?"
Although the questions were directed towards Lu Wei , Zhi Xi and Zhi Bo were trying their best to keep the journalists away from the man. Just what was wrong with them ? Could they not see what the man was going through ?! His wife was struggling for her life inside and yet , they were so insensitive to ask him such questions. Most importantly , he was still unsure of what had actually happened in a mere time span of roughly ten hours.
"Silence !", at this time , Lu Wei"s voice resonated across the entire hospital entrance , forcing the journalists take a few steps back involuntarily. Zhi Xi and Zhi Bo glanced at the man"s blazing gaze staring off into the crowd , sending chills down everyone"s spine and nodded at each other.
"Wei... Just go in first.", Zhi Xi squeezed the man"s shoulders ,"We will handle this. Your Tao needs you right now."
"Don"t let me hear them again ! They should know the consequences of getting on my nerves very well. b.l.o.o.d.y idiots !", said Lu Wei , in a tone high enough for every reporter to listen clearly. The man then pinched the s.p.a.ce between his brows and strode inside the hospital building directly , as none of the paparazzis dared to hinder his path. This man was way too imposing and intimidating to get into his bad books !
