Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 207 204..can't Stand It..

WARNING: slight gory description ahead!

Meilin didn’t have an appetite all this while and the food on her mouth felt really bland… it came to a situation where she was feeding on energy bars because everything tasted the same.

She was too busy to cook for herself and finally got a few moments to come back to this apartment that she hadn’t stepped in since that day, all because her grandmother had called her to come back to visit them for a little and she came to fetch some clothes on the way.

This week has been clearly hectic for all the workers spread over the globe working under the Qins. They needed some quick reforms and get together to work out the sudden increase in workload courtesy the new projects that Meilin took on… well, this was going to be a team effort and knowing what they were in for, nobody complained even if they wanted too, all because the person at the top was setting a direct example.

Compared to a normal worker, Meilin was responsible for doing the work of 10 or so people… The different branches could divide their work and concentrate on a single project, but being at the centre of this she had to coordinate with every single one of them still, she never complained and as usual, the efficacy of the QMX was still the highest.

Today was actually the first day, she could take a breather after a week of immersing herself in her work and other personal obligation, not only because her grandmother called for her, but also because after a week, the rat had finally spoken.

..

Last night….

In the underground training hall of a building under Qin mansion.

The whole army of bodyguards under them, following her orders, had spread throughout the country, but they didn’t find any leads… it just proved her conjecture that ZiXuan was taken away by ‘that‘ man…

Meilin knew that there was a conspiracy theory under the tables and had a hint that someone from their side was colluding with ‘that’ man, but what can she do, right?

Rather than waiting for them to make more of mess and also waiting for another chance to come up where she can trap them, she might as well dive straight into the trap they created and destroy it with sheer strength from inside, in a matter such as this, she felt actions spoke louder than words…

So, for the last 4 days, leaving the first night because she had left them to die in the dark underground room without care, not that she would actually let them die, but it was better to start the torture when they were at their most vulnerable state, both physically and mentally.

Well, four of them died before she came to them on the third day, the next on the night she first came and finally, this night she was at the last stages of haunting the last of them…

For the record, this man was the same guy who had fired the shot that time and she had intentionally or unintentionally, kept him till the end and had given the orders to those under her to keep at least this man alive for a longer period of time…

Meilin normally didn’t wear gloves when she sparred with the men under her, but in case of vermins like this, she wore special gloves before she took them into her hands.

Meilin has been working day and night without rest for close to a week now and definitely lost some weight with huge dark circles under her eyes and her face a sickly pale…

Before entering the hall with the man, she ate an energy bar and a few nutritional drinks….

The moment she entered, her nose was assaulted by the putrid smell of blood, urine and what not… and her eyes scrunched up, but she continued walking in towards the man.

The man was in a very bad condition… he was profusely bleeding and he couldn’t even open his eyes which were badly bruised and swollen, he had lost a few teeth and because part of his mouth was broken, he couldn’t close it and saliva mixed with blood was flowing out of it.

Meilin saw his state and without batting an eyelid took a glass of water from the nearby table and–

SPLASH

cough cough cough

Meilin saw some ice cubes hit his face and a nasty smirk spread over her pale face… creating a huge contrast… but it didn’t last for more than a second and the next moment–

SPLASH

zzzzzzz

This time it was hot water that created a sizzling sensation on the man’s face, more so because it was scarred with many wounds… the skin of our face is much sensitive than any of our body and is thin too, she was just playing with him…

Well, she didn’t need any answer, though of course, it was better for him to speak, but she just wanted to give him some time to hold his ego and think that she is keeping him alive because she wanted something out of him so that he would think he still has a way to live and get out of here… all she wanted was to give him a shred of hope and take that away from him at his worst state…

She didn’t have any enmity with the ones she killed except for the time when they had tried to kill her so, she very easily gave them a quick death.. but this man was different… she had lost too many things..

Feng Jiajie, her family members’ smile and most importantly… her Xuanxuan… and as it stood, she enjoyed this… yes, she could unfeelingly kill but this… she felt like she got her calling…

The man finally opened his eyes only to see his nightmare for 4 straight days standing before him with a blank face, even though his vision was blurred to an extreme, but he could still make out her figure plus, after 3 nights of darkness, they had turned the lights to the maximum… it was jarring.

At first, he thought that she was keeping him alive because she wanted the location of their base and he made sure to keep his mum and think about the best way to negotiate, but yesterday after she entered and threw the dead bodies of his partner, before torturing the last man to death without lifting a single finger… he finally felt despair, the terror of this being finally hit him hard… but it seems it was too late… even if he wanted to say anything right now, his end was a given…

The sizzling pain that spread from his face and ran down to the deepest core of his bones made it even harder for him to stay sane… this was absurd… how can a pampered princess act even more devious than their cold-blooded boss…?

Well, not that he will ever know, but Meilin had always walked the path of an Empress and the obstacles she faced in her path was never flowery…

“Mu Tianluo…”

The name that she whispered sent currents down his body as he finally realised what sort of idiocy he had been showing… this woman was simply playing with him!

Shock turned to humiliation to anger and then resentment, he looked at her as if he would kill her the next moment, but Meilin threw simply a litre worth cold water on his face this time around… it cooled him down and made him urinate at the spot.

Meilin frowned but didn’t move, from her spot which was around 2m away from the man, it was again a litre of boiling water…

“ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”, the man couldn’t hold back anymore and shouted!

Meilin looked at him from her place and whispered, “speak…”

Maybe he was hypnotised or it was just his resentment speaking, but the man started cursing, ” F.u.c.k you, you B*tch! How dare you speak that name? Just because you got hold of me, do you think rest of them are easy? I’m at the bottom, you see… and my boss has many men who can break you with a finger… I dare you to go there. That man who was taken away… he should have come silently, but he went against Boss… what do you think his end was? He must be suffering to the core right now! The underground hall there is hell and because he went against my Boss… hahahahaha”, he laughed like a maniac with a grotesque face.. it seemed that he wasn’t scared of anything anymore!!

Meilin’s eyes twitched but it was imperceptible as her grip around the glass she was holding tightened enough to make some cracks appear around it!

She had an unfathomable look in her eyes but at the same time, her bleak eyes held a light now….

She didn’t want to waste more time on this man and turned her back to him… just when the man thought he had won this… her voice reverberated inside the now quiet hall like a whisper from the devil himself.

“He died from a car explosion after he swerved off the mountain road…”

Well, he should experience the same thing… but–

“Is it better to feed him to those starving piranhas..?”… only the light whisper of her voice remained…

The rest will be left to your imagination.

…

…

The souffle was done and she placed it on the table… but one bite from it and she ran to the washroom…

In this silent morning inside this posh apartment, one could hear the retching sound of a young woman… what she puked was nothing but water and bile.. well, she didn’t have anything in there.

Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked very haggard, but even her psychological tears didn’t come out…

Once done, she frowned and washed her face… the look in her face was unbearable even to herself.

She really shouldn’t have come to this place…

This time it was simply not the past, but every moment she spent with him here, his every gesture, his every expression… flashed by her and his back that she had let go off at the last moment again haunted her…

She bit her lips and directly walked out… this sort of pain… she wasn’t strong enough to withstand it…
