When He Zheng was recovering from his temper-burst a loud roar of a wild animal shook the walls. He Zheng shouted too as his heart was about to leap out of his chest, he shouted in fright and jumped o the sofa he was once sitting.His eyes surveyed the surrounding for the cause of the animalistic rage when the door to the living room was burst open with a "THUD" and there stood the most ferocious of all feline in flesh followed by two helpless caretakers tailing it.
He Zheng started shouting in fright with more intensity and ran toward Li Yuan chair like a clown but the Jaguar eyed Li Yaun and when his eyes s.h.i.+fted to He Zheng, who was clinging to Li Yuan"s chair, a murderous ragging roar left its big jaws.
He Zheng was shaking and was wobbling but the giant beast eyed him and ran toward him with its claws.
"Venessa!" Li Yuan shouted in rage stopping the beast from advancing at once. He Zheng breath halted too and his eyes bulged in shock when Li Yaun commanded the bloodthirsty Jaguar.
She looked at her Master in absolute grief and innocence then sat on her forelimbs and started licking her paw in innocence and was eyeing her Master from time to time in impeccability.
Li Yuan was still eyeing her in rage and she let out a whinny small roar in protest.
He Zheng held onto Li Yuan shoulder to ask him to take his little-too-big-for-pet cat away from him when the Jaguar roar thundered the wall once again. He Zheng at once ran away from Li Yuan. The exuberant feline eyes followed him with a murderous glare like he was a lollipop she was going to crush in her huge jaw.
She was possessive of her Master and looking at a peer in his attention made him a threat. Then her eyes drifted to Li Yuan who was angrily glaring at her. She made another mewing roar in an exclamation of her innocence.
Li Yaun ma.s.saged his temples at her tantrums. She was just too spoilt. He sighed, "Venessa, what did I say about scaring the guest?"
He Zheng could swear he saw the feline pout and look at Li Yuan with starry puppy dog eyes. Li Yuan narrowed his eyes at the majestic creature then finally relented.
"Come here."
"Ahh...No, please...No!" He Zheng shouted at his words and ran to the far corner of the room but Li Yuan and the ecstatic feline both ignored him like thin air.
Venessa ran to her Master gleefully and buried her gigantic furry face in Li Yuan"s lap.
She licked his hands and a smile rose on Li Yaun"s face, "Easy, Baby Venessa, easy. We still have guest over that I have business with."
The feline mewed in protest but laid on his feet while Li Yuan patted her head in appreciation, he glanced at the once smug boy trying to implant himself in his living room wall and rolled his eyes.
"Come, sit. We still have things to discuss." Li Yuan said coldly to the boy.
He Zheng shook his head furiously, "No, send this...this beast away. I..I will tell you anything!"
Venessa growled at him and stood in attention at his words of getting her out of the room, Li Yuan patted her head in a.s.surance and narrowed his eyes, and coldly declared, "She is not going out of here but if you miss a second coming and sitting here, she will come there."
He Zheng looked at the big cat who was eyeing him smugly like her Master had declared him her dinner then looked at Li Yuan pleadingly but all his manipulativeness wasn"t enough to stray the Underworld King from his decision.
He took hesitant steps forward looking at the feline every moment but Venessa had lost her interest in him and laid her head on her paws by Li Yuan and closed her eyes.
"Did she kill the Lei"s rightful heir?"
He Zheng froze and his heartbeat rose. he tried to discard the question, "They were 13 heirs to the Lei empire, 7 are dead. They don"t really keep the track."
Li Yuan poured himself a gla.s.s of red wine and sharply eyed the boy, "The son of the Lei"s patriarch."
He Zheng licked his lower lip, "She had the dagger, doesn"t she?" He a.s.sessed Li Yaun face for a giveaway to see how much he knew but his face was neutral-blank like he was investigating about the weather.
He Zheng gritted his teeth and huffed. He prayed Lei Xinyi never knew about this, and bitterly spat, "Yes, she did...Many would wish she did it sooner."
Venessa raised her head and growled at his tone and He Zheng yelped and lifted his feet from the floor. Li Yuan shook his head at the feline.
Venessa huffed and dropped her head again on her paws but kept glaring at He Zheng.
Li Yuan gave the teenage boy another overlook. He wasn"t the young scared boy from the video, he had seen of Yu Youhan"s prison when he was taken for investigation about the lost heirloom.
He wasn"t what he presents to be. If he had a doubt in his being Lei Xinyi"s brother, it was gone now. Like her, more than fear, delight or weariness, rage controlled him.
Now that he knew the things he needed to, It was time to get to the point, "What do you want?"
"Ren, " He Zheng cleared his throat and looked at the feline and then Li Yuan, "I want you to look for her. She is abducted."
A smirk rose on Li Yuan face and dark chuckle left him, "Why do you think I would help you?"
"No, it"s me who will help you." He Zheng saw Li Yaun sharp eyes on him and corrected urgently, "I...I mean, I know you are looking for her already without a lead so I can help you."
Li Yuan drowned the gla.s.s of scotch Butler Yang had served him down his throat and looked at He Zheng sceptically. He made sure that the mutilated body was well hidden.
Even Jiang Cheng who was himself a forensic science expert was convinced that it was Lei Xinyi then how was this boy swinging the other direction.
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow, the boy was clever and cunning beyond his years but he wanted to know if he was dealing with a sentimental driven teen-brother or a sane opinion.
"How do you know she is alive?"
He Zheng looked at him for a while, he knew it too. He had to spill the beans now...
He sighed resignedly and dig in his bag that was returned to him a little while ago. He took out his laptop and started speed typing and when he was done he turned the screen to Li Yuan.
There was a detailed page with some medical details, about body temperature, blood pressure, sugar level and many other computations.
He Zheng pointed to the screen, "The tracker, it is still active. I personally designed it for Ren. It works from the body heat. It"s still active which means Lei Xinyi is still warm, alive."
"She has it all the time?" Li Yuan frowned, he didn"t remember her having anything that could be a tracker, "Where is that tracker exactly on her body?"
He Zheng saw his confusion and involuntary a chuckle left him causing Venessa to growl at him.
He stumbled back on the chair and his smile disappeared at once, he pointed to his belly, "The belly b.u.t.ton piercing."
