Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 202 199. The Interview..1
Meilin went to the penthouse in the QMX building and took a quick shower, she didn’t dare to stay in the house for long… this house held too many memories with him.
She hadn’t seen him for a whole day now, in the meantime, she hadn’t slept or eaten anything.
The whole security force of the Qin was given an emergency alert and are searching for him, but the problem was that she woke a little late after the accident.
Her grandparents and family were in the hospital just after an assassination attempt and so, the guards were following protocol and standing on guard to protect the ones at the top.
Without instruction from any of the core family members, it was also not possible for them to move independently so, by the time Meilin gave them the orders, it was possible that he was already taken away out of the country.
Meilin didn’t think that they were going to kill him; her rational thoughts confirmed that they would have done it on spot rather than taking him away, while the beast inside her raged that if something happened to him, she didn’t mind exterminating 18 generations of the ones involved… she wouldn’t mind dying if that meant she had made sure that they will be afraid to get birth as human again.
For the matter, the first thing Meilin had guessed when they didn’t get any ransom calls was that this was the act of that man, Mu Tianluo.
She has even asked the security details to check out for the sh.i.p.s and planes taking off for HK country, but for the other scenario, most were asked to search through the city and outwards.
She couldn’t take her mind off the matters here because this time, she was really fighting alone and even she was not that strong to take the whole business world alone while she was distracted by his thoughts…
Even though it wasn’t fair to him, she will have to make him wait a little longer…
Knowing it in the head was different from what she actually wanted… when it came to him, her resolve could be weaker than a mayfly.
What was ironic was, even though she had promised to be his knight, at this point the knight was burdened by the empire’s status and couldn’t protect her prince… this guilt was enough to kill her, she felt like someone was suffocating her.. even breathing became hard…
So, she was trying not to have any free time, she didn’t want that demon inside her to overwhelm her, it is better to make things correct till she got further news on him so that, she will be able to put all her attention on him by then…
Just before exiting the door, a strained whisper left her lips, “Xuanxuan…. I am…so… sorry…”
….
Far away in another country…
It was the same dark hall in the underground he despised… he hated this place more than anything in this world, but sadly, this place was the root of all his nightmares, the cause of his trauma… something that he feared… something, that he still hasn’t gotten out of.
To him, hell was a far better place than this world…
Without a speck of light entering the underground hall and no lights allowed in here, the clinging sounds of chains could be heard from the deepest corners.
These were the same chains that had bound him to this place for many years… they were still doing the same thing. He hated them and he hated this place…
Nothing could be seen.. but if one went deeper, one could hear the rough panting sound of living being… just from the heavy but short breaths, it was clear even without looking that, the person inside was definitely heavenly injured.
This hall was humid and damp… the air was thin and the smell putrid with the stench of iron and blood clogging one’s senses… in this kind of condition, the psychological balance and well being of man was put on show…
There was again the sound of chains against each other and against the concrete ground as well…
It wasn’t possible to see what was inside without any light whatsoever, but the other senses were still doing their job, a little better than normal actually because one’s sight was inhibited… but that in itself was also sheer torture.
There came a weakened voice from inside and the light wind brought about it in whispers, “…Lin…lin”

Amidst hundreds of reporters and news channel clicking pictures of every second in a frenzy, Meilin was escorted by her bodyguards along with the Qin Lev, Qian Cheng and the Head of the PR department, who will work as the MC for the day.
No matter how strong, Meilin was still a human being and even she would get tired without eating and sleeping while she was injured and had to stay alert the whole time.
Still, she had applied a layer of concealer to hide her dark circles and a light layer of foundation to hide her pale face; today she was wearing a grey suit…
It was evident that it was going to be a stormy afternoon.
For the record, it was probably because she was influenced a little by Chairwoman Mitchelle, but her dress code was really in accord with her mood; black meant that she was calm and passive, white meant that she was neutral and grey meant the sky during a storm, it was definitely going to be a bad ending for someone. She didn’t wear other shades during work, but nothing good has ever happened when she wore something in ash grey, last time she had directly cut off some of the senior officers… the employees gulped when they saw her come in a similar suit… her eyes looked a lot scarier than usual, maybe because one could actually see some of her emotions leaking from them in contrast to how blank they normally were!!
The Department head gave a short opening speech before the reporters were allowed to ask questions…
Millions of viewers had joined in for the conference today, many of them were normal workers and students… All because this will set the path of the economy of this country and where it will take them, this also involved their future.
The contract for this live stream was also given to a branch under Qin and streaming outside of the country was given to the branch in A-country, in the end, just by sitting here, the money was still coming in with every other citizen in the country and abroad logging in… at the end of this conference, Meilin the brain behind this gave a rough estimate that the stock that has stabilised after a small fall will rise again.
This was the scariest thing about this giant and the brain behind it.
On the other hand, as it controlled a little over one-third of the country’s economy, the lives of almost all workers over the country were indirectly affected by their presence, of course, it didn’t simply end there, many govt. officials also logged in along with business tycoon from all over the world… all of this showed just how important this Empire was and why Meilin couldn’t divert her attention… this was not just about her life or her family any more, the responsibility of sitting at this position was immense.
Of course, this will also be the early debut of this Empire’s direct heir as well; she was, of course, involved in the business from an early age, but because of age constraints and later her disappearance from the domestic business and then another person, who was not even related by blood to the Empire, taking over the business had created too much of a buzz and everything was pushed back to the upcoming annual party, not that Meilin herself was interested, she has always like to do work behind the scene, after all.
Even the news reporters from yesterday didn’t dare to publish her photographs after her blatant threats, on that note, they had already gotten court orders and instead of small reporters, the Chief editors of those publishing houses have come here to give them another round of apology.
Anyway, this was indeed the first time the whole world saw what she looked like and as expected, her cold visage, oppressive aura and that aloof air around her along with the beauty she was caused a small commotion but no one dared to comment on that, even though they didn’t know her, it wasn’t hard to guess her personality just from her distant look, she was indeed someone at the peak of this business world!
” Is the news about the current chairman getting heavily injured and Secretary Feng dying true? We’ve also heard that CEO Qin has also gone missing?”, this was a reporter from the No. 1 Channel of Central Broadcasting centre under the government. They were indeed not scared about anything with the Government backing them.
The question was asked to Meilin but she didn’t give the person even a single look, well, for a fact, even if she knew that these people played an important role in the current scenario, she herself wasn’t interested in whatever politics the Government was trying to play…
