Capítulo 36: Chapter 36
As time passed by, Shun's brothers were killed one by one. His parents were worried about him. They decided to increase their security and lived far away from the city.
If Mingxia is correct, that only means the Chairman is hiding from the enemies.
But, the enemies stopped killing the Ren family as they were all arrested.
Who is the Chairman hiding?
"Ms. Zheng, let's go and see the construction site."
Mingxia snaps out of her thought. She saw Xiaohui nodding her head, moving aside to give Wenqian a space to walk.
Wenqian walks. Mingxia follows behind her as she slightly pushes Xiaohui.
Meixiu looked at her wife worriedly.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket. She picked it out and saw two messages, from Wenqian and Xiaohui.
Sorry, I'm not in the company right now. I'm going to visit the site.
Is that so? Ok, I'll eat alone.
Take care, ok? I want to see you intact.
Yes, Ms. Zhong is already looking for me.
Meixiu left Xiaohui's message on seen. She moves to Wenqian's messages.
Ms. Song, you can go back to the company. I'll call for my driver to pick me up.
Ok.
Meixiu closes her phone. She looks out, bringing the window down to see Xiaohui.
Zedong was staring at the site when his attention went to Wenqian's car.
Zedong narrows his eyes and widens them upon seeing a familiar figure inside.
"Meixiu?"
His eyes widen, but a deep frown is seen on his face. As far as he remembers, Wenqian exited that car.
Does that mean...?
Zedong quickly went out of the car upon seeing Meixiu rolling the window up.
Meixiu makes the car roar as Zedong runs toward it.
"Wait!"
Meixiu steps on the gas, causing the car to run away from the place. Zedong tried to follow it, but Meixiu drove rapidly.
Zedong stops and breathes. He looks at the car's fading future and then at the site.
-
"There's something in this stone. How do I get it again?"
Upon arriving at Sapphire Group, Meixiu parked the car and gave the key to the guard. She hops in her scooter and drives back home.
Meixiu's eyes travel around the stone she bought earlier. The stone has a very smooth texture, it looks like a zebra, but black stands out more.
Meixiu also saw the words 'Strength and Power' on the sides. She held the stone tightly.
She stands up and puts it inside her pocket. She went to the kitchen to cook herself some food.
-
"Ms. Zheng, I am thinking of changing it."
"Instead of a pool, why not make it a garden?"
Xiaohui looks at Wenqian. She smiles and looks down at her feet.
"Ms. Zhong, I'm not the main head of the project. It's still in your hands."
"I just wanted to ask you. Since you are already married, why don't I put a garden so wedding anniversaries can get celebrated?"
"Right! That's a great idea! Ms. Zhong, it'll be a big hit for everyone!"
Mingxia suddenly spoke, nudging Xiaohui and smiling widely at Wenqian. The girl looked at her and sneered.
"Am I asking you?"
"Uh, Ms. Zhong, Xiaohui, and I both have the same surname. It can be either of us."
Mingxia confidently said. Wenqian scoffs and walks ahead of them. Mingxia was disappointed with Wenqian's action.
"You are talking with Ms. Zhong behind our back, right?"
Xiaohui looks at Mingxia in confusion.
"What are you talking about?"
"Ms. Zhong can be friendly with us as well! Not just you, ok!?"
"I'm not friends with her."
"Yes, you are! Can't you see how she treats you differently?"
Mingxia looks at Xioahui in disgust. She walks away from the younger and follows Wenqian.
Xiaohui frowns but follows the two closely. They walked around for a few minutes and stopped when they heard a commotion.
Wenqian furrows her eyebrows, walking towards the source of the noise.
"You can't be here! This property is mine!"
A clash was heard. Wenqian saw one of the pieces of equipment on the ground, shattered.
She looked to her right and saw a lot of men, dressed in a suit.
"What's happening here?"
The man in the middle looks up and smiles at Wenqian.
"Lady! Are you looking for me? Why are you here on site?"
"I heard you own this property?"
"Yes! I'm letting these workers build my house!"
Wenqian's eyebrows raise. Xiaohui furrows her eyebrows in confusion while Mingxia looks at the man with interest.
The man looked at Wenqian's right side and saw Xiaohui. He smiles and waves at her.
"You're beautiful! May I know your name?"
The man is walking in their direction. Xiaohui looks around, confused.
The man saw her action and laughed.
"I am asking you, beautiful lady."
Wenqian hides Xiaohui behind her.
"Excuse me, but can you leave my property?"
Mingxia decided to interrupt.
"This is a property owned by Sapphire Group. Can you and your employees leave this place?"
The man sneered.
"Who are you? This property mine!"
"I have already bought this from the bank."
Wenqian glares at the man.
"Can you all leave? I'll call the police."
Wenqian picks up her phone, but the man quickly gets it from her and throws it away.
"No one is calling someone!"
"You and your workers should leave! This property is mine! Do you want to be killed?"
As soon as the man said it, his employees at the back grabbed their pocket knives. Wenqian's eyes soften as she steps back a little, leaning back to Xiaohui.
"Don't you know me? I am Han Mingyu! The famous mob boss in Liangtai!"
Han Mingyu is the most brutal mob boss in Liangtai. He has been going to jail since he was 18. He is a well-known criminal around Liangtai and his goal is to beat the famous Song Mafia of Jiangqiao.
Jiangqiao is bigger than Liangtai. He wanted a lot of money and power that's why he planned on finishing the Song Mafia.
Still, Meixiu is more powerful than him. She can finish him in one go and not leave any trace. Mingyu wants to be that powerful. Where he can kill someone and not get caught.
Mingyu's eyes travel to Wenqian. He smirks as he saw Wenqian's scared once. He sighs.
"It feels nice seeing you scared."
"I'm not scared!"
"You are!"
Zedong, who's still outside, heard the screaming. He got curious so he walk inside the site and look around, to find the source of the noise.
He looks at Mingyu, who's looking down at Xiaohui, Wenqian, and Mingxia.
"Then if you're not, why do your eyes tell it?"
Mingyu puts his hand behind his back, waving it for his employees to notice.
One of them walks toward him and gave him the knife they are holding.
"You're scared of this?"
Mingyu shows the knife to Wenqian. The girl moves her head away from the knife.
Mingyu pointed the tip at Wenqian. He looks to his left and saw Zedong running toward him.
"Stop!"
Zedong yelled, going in front of Wenqian. He puts his hands out, protecting the three behind him.
Mingyu furrowed his eyebrows. He suddenly laughs, confusing the four people in front of him.
"What are you doing? That's not so manly!"
Zedong clears his throat. He stands up straight, looking at Mingyu in confidence.
"You are not manly! I already called the police so better walk away from here!"
As soon as Zedong said it, everyone heard a siren from a distance. Mingyu cursed under his breath, he glares at Zedong and was about to stab him.
"No!"
When Mingxia walks in front of Zedong, saving the man from the blade.
"Mingxia!"
Mingyu pulls the knife and throws it away. He looks at his members.
"Let's go!"
He flees from the scene. Xiaohui quickly ran towards Mingxia and looks at her cousin.
"Sir, are you the one who called us?"
Zedong was approached by police. They saw Mingxia's situation and hurriedly called an ambulance.
"Kindly wait for the medics to come. We'll look around for the possible suspect."
The police bow and left them. Soon, the medics came and quickly aid Mingxia.
-
"What's with your face?"
Meixiu furrows her eyebrows upon seeing Xiaohui's frown. She looks at Xiaohui's clothes and saw a patch of blood.
"Why do you have blood on your clothes?"
Xiaohui looks down and gasps upon seeing it. She looks at Meixiu nervously before she went towards their bedroom.
"What's wrong with her?"
Xiaohui leans her back on the door and sighs. She looks down, scratching the blood away from her clothes.
