Meanwhile , City M :"Oh G.o.d ! Please don"t. I will get her back. She is my daughter as well !", the woman screamed and covered her head with her hands , as the man bashed the floor-to-ceiling mirror with his fists.
Before she had even stepped in , he had already smashed everything in the house to smithereens. He was angry. Furious , in fact. She knew he wanted to kill her. Choke her to death. She could tell it by the way he was glaring at her with his bloodshot eyes.
"As if you hadn"t done enough.", the man hissed when he heard Qui Chin"s voice and strode towards her , grabbing her by her arms , his nails digging into her flesh ,"Why did you have to bring my daughter into all of this ?! Tell me !"
"I...I...", Qui Chin found it difficult to form words as she winced in pain. His grip around her arms was getting stronger and firmer with each pa.s.sing second.
Next second , the man , who was in his late twenties , pushed the woman away down on the couch. He then clenched his fists and looked out of the open window , trying to contain his anger.
"Had it been not for your greed to replace Ningtao in that c.r.a.ppy movie , my daughter would"ve been safe here. So don"t try to blame this upon anyone else. No one , but you , are at the fault here.", the man stated the obvious , his tone much calmer than earlier ,"It wasn"t like you were hypnotized into doing any of this. You did it all , willingly.
"I just can"t believe I handed my daughter over to someone as stupid as you. You were dumb enough to cross the Superfamily and dared to stab Lu Wei"s woman. Yet , you thought you would reach the throne of the entertainment industry after that. How naive !"
The man chuckled coldly. And that frightened Qui Chin even more. She couldn"t tell what was going on in his mind. But then again , she was never able to understand him. He was too aloof. Too reserved. That was why she had fallen for him in the first place. You could say , he was just too "hard-to-get".
But there was someone else , whose moves and mind , Qui Chin could never read.
The doorbell to the house rang , making the man straighten his back. He turned his head at Qui Chin questioningly as he walked towards the door.
"I di..didn"t.", the woman shook her head ,"I am not ex..expecting anyone , Mr. Sun."
Sun Cheng looked through the peephole only to find an empty corridor. He then , carefully , rotated the k.n.o.b and opened the door.
A wooden chest was placed on the floor , exactly in front of the door , with a phone placed above it. a.s.suming it to be a message from Lu Wei , Sun Cheng picked up the box and brought it inside.
"Well...", the man laughed ,"Never thought that he would be a shady man. The boxes and all."
"Anyway...", the man then lifted his head up to look at Qui Chin ,"Should I or would you ?"
The woman looked at Sun Cheng"s demanding gaze and swallowed the lump in her throat. It was like his eyes were telling her to deal with the mess she had created on her own. She fixed her eyes upon the ground and stood up from the couch before she walked towards the wooden chest. She then bent down and with trembling hands , opened the chest cautiously.
"Aaaaah !", screamed Qui Chin as she covered her wide open mouth and took a few step backwards. It was head. A man"s head. Blood frozen below the neck , beneath the hair. This man. She knew him. Not from a long time. But she knew him.
And she was scared. Terrified. Petrified. She couldn"t help but squeeze her eyes shut. Her entire body was s.h.i.+vering by now. Her lips quivering. She couldn"t utter even a single word.
On the other hand , Sun Cheng simply frowned as he looked at the head , and the blood. He could imagine the brutality with which the man was killed just by looking at the wounds on his face. He wasn"t scared , though. Unlike Qui Chin , he was thinking. Trying to figure things out. And it didn"t took him more than five seconds to come to the conclusion. This wasn"t Lu Wei. This was HER.
Next second , the phone in Sun Cheng"s left hand , the one he had picked up from the wooden chest earlier , rang up. The man checked its screen. It was a private number. The one that could be traced easily. Which meant only one thing. The caller was going to destroy their SIM Card as soon as the call would be disconnected. That was the amount smartness he expected the Superfamily , at least.
The man didn"t bothered contemplating and picked up the call without wasting a single second. He brought the phone to his ears ,"Where is my daughter ?"
"Well...", an alluring yet cunning voice resounded through the other end ,"That"s one way to greet the Military Chief of the country. h.e.l.lo to you too , President Sun."
Indeed , it was HER. The one and only. The princess to the six tigers. The highest Military authority of Country X. Rong Xinghe.
"My apologies , Ms. Rong.", the man said , his tone humble now,"I was just..."
"Worried for your daughter.", Rong Xinghe cut in ,"I understand. We will get back to you about that later , Mr. Sun. But for now , could you please turn your Smart TV on. I would like to have a word with that bit*h first."
Sun Cheng raised his brows as his gaze s.h.i.+fted to the crying Qui Chin. She had really p.i.s.sed them off. Hadn"t she ?
"Sure.", the man replied as he rushed over to the end of the hall before he stretched his hand to switch on the TV.
A moment later , the device flickered and Rong Xinghe appeared across the screen. There was a gla.s.s of wine in her right hand a phone in her other one. She was sitting on her bro Lu"s chair. In the headquarters of Lu Corporations. The logo of the Lu Empire behind her gave that away. And there was a cold chilling smile plastered upon her lips.
The girl simply tilted her head and looked at Qui Chen. The woman was sitting few metres away from the box , hugging her knees , hiding her face , crying. So much misery , so awful.
As she looked at the traumatized woman , the girl"s smile widened further , turning into a smirk ,"It isn"t even the beginnig , Honey ! Come on. Cheer up."
