"Sister-in-law . ", while the couple was busy chatting with the Prime Minister and the President, Xi Ying made her way through the crowd to them, a man following behind her, "Mr . Yang over here, has been a close acquaintance to the Xi family for more than 20 years now . He"s been asking me to introduce you two, formally . "

"h.e.l.lo, President Yang . ", Rong Xinghe turned to smile softly at the man in his late-thirties .  

"I don"t want to do this . ", the man said, looking at Xi Yuan desperately, as if his red bloodshot eyes were trying to say something . "But I just can"t stop . "

Before Rong Xinghe or Xi Yuan could do anything, the man"s right hand reached underneath his dark blue coat . By this time, the Ten Hybrids had already surrounded Rong Xinghe and Xi Yuan, defensively, instinctively, in a semi-circle . "Do not move, Alpha!", David Florence yelled, pulling out his Ruger SR22, aiming it at the man in front of him .  

But it was as if the man was compelled . Totally unaffected . Robotically, he pulled out his Colt Python and stretched his hand, positioning its mouth against the temple of his head . Tears flowing down his eyes, the man delivered his final message to the girl, "Beware, Rong Xinghe, for War is on its way . Stop it if you can .

"Because when that time will come, thousands of bodies will be sacrificed . It will be, but mere collateral damage, for you, are both, the reason and the ultimate target of this battle . Only when you"ll be standing over the bodies of innocent public, your family, and your love, will he come for you . Beware!"

BAM!

With a thud, the man"s body hit the ground, evoking shocked gasps and terrified screams from the crowd . The black and gray ethnic-patterned carpet soaked the blood flowing down the man"s head, gradually .

"Oh my G.o.d!"

"What did the man mean by war?!"

"He actually shot himself . I can"t believe this! What do you think will Military Chief Rong do now?!"

"This is so scary . "

"Holding onto the position of the highest Military Authority isn"t surely easy . "

"What should we do now?!"

As the crowd fixed its hopeful gazes upon Xinguan, Rong Xinghe clicked her fingers, gesturing one of the Hybrids to get her a mic . A few seconds later, the girl procured the microphone from Huang Ling, bringing it closer to her lips . She then held onto Xi Yuan"s hand, interlacing their fingers loosely .  

"Apologies for the mess, ladies and gentlemen . This is, but a matter of national concern . Involving politicians, diplomats, bureaucrats, and soldiers, it would be unappreciated if the word about this gets out . Ever .

"I hope for this incident to remain caged in all your hearts . High-cla.s.s socialite families, the ones with thousands of secrets of their own, shouldn"t feel burdened by this little secret of ours .  

"If in any way, this news is leaked to any form of media, the person responsible shall be considered an enemy to Military of Country X . And towards traitors, no one is unknown of my barbarity . We cannot afford to let the Public panic . Am I making myself clear?"

The guests, of course, knew what was better for them . Rong Xinghe was a cunning personality . A sharp diplomat herself . She could turn the tables around for almost anyone present there, in seconds . Most importantly, Country X was already in a state of shock, ever since the news about a hundred plus SF officers were dropped dead in front of the Military Chief Office . Hence, there was no point locking horns with Rong Xinghe at such trying times .  

In the end, the guests agreed to keep their mouth shut about the psychotic suicide and bid farewell to the two families .  

"Hey, how are you?", Xi Yuan turned to face the girl beside him after the huge, enormous banquet hall was left with just their families . And the Hybrids .  

Rong Xinghe hadn"t said anything after she"d addressed their audience earlier . Her silence was frightening, petrifying . Xi Yuan could only hope that she wouldn"t bottle up her feelings . Rage . Disappointment . Regret . He could deal with anything extreme, as long as he knew what was going on in her mind .  

"How right was I about postponing our wedding?", the girl finally said, smiling wryly at the man looking at her . The man couldn"t help but smile back in relief . "You"re always right . ", he laughed, planting a soft kiss against the girl"s forehead .

Rong Xinghe then turned to fix her gaze upon her two families . Obviously, Superfamily wasn"t as affected as the Xis were . It was natural, for they weren"t yet used to having a soldier under the same roof as them .  

"They"ll come along . Don"t worry . ", Xi Yuan comforted the girl in his mellow voice .  

"I know . I have you, after all . ", Rong Xinghe let out a shaky breath, "I was just hoping for this one day, to end smoothly . "

______________

12:30 a . m . , MCO ;

Xi Yuan arranged for the two families to head to their respective homes as the girl called for a confidential meeting with the Hybrids in her office .  

"Who the f.u.c.k did it?!", Jackson frowned, staring at the picture of the dead Mr . Yang, on the big projector screen behind the girl .  

"I know, right?! Just for the sake of conveying a message . ", Zheng Gen crossed his arms, "They could"ve sent a letter or something . " 

"Xinghe, are you okay?", Shawn Florence interrupted the girl"s train of thoughts, evidently concerned for her, "What are you thinking?"

"Rong Yufan . ", Rong Xinghe clenched her fists, letting out an icy cold chuckle, "That b.a.s.t.a.r.d was the one orchestrating all of this . "

"What?! How did you-"

"Mr . Yang was hypnotized . She is right!", Elijah Williams spoke up, proud to have decoded the meaning behind Rong Xinghe"s words, "Now, we all know how sensitive hypnotism can be . Even the slightest bit of disturbance can break the patient, push him off the edge .  

"But Rong Yufan is no ordinary hypnotist . He had once hypnotized Xinghe"s ex into inducing a tragic accident upon her brother and then-pregnant sister-in-law, remember? 

"His hypnotism has never been inefficient before . He is simply brilliant at this d.a.m.ned game . Playing with people"s brains is his specialty . "

"Well . . . that"s a possibility . ", agreed Shawn Florence .
