Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 214 211. Turn..
Meilin had been running throughout as she either disarmed or disabled the ones jumping on her.
Well, what saved her was these people not using firearms themselves… she guessed that only the people at the top could use them, no matter where it is and more so, in this side of the business, the leaders always had to be on guard and guard themselves against potential back-stabbers… as for those at the bottom, they could only use weapons with blades and to Meilin, they were not an issue even if, they came in hordes…
But still, her breathing had become a little heavier, courtesy her recent health status and she felt a little exhausted as she entered this secret hall.
This place still had some security surveillance with night-vision and was connected to the system…
Meilin was only able to catch a glimpse of his silhouette on time, but she was sure of his location from that and had made a straight run to this point.
This zone was actually not on the main building but was attached to it and was in a remote location, the security was not tight enough because it was protected by high-end technological inventions… but in front of her, it became as simple as winning tic-tac-toe… without manpower in play, it also became easier.
The moment she reached his cell, she had whispered his name before she could pinpoint his condition and by the time, this incredibly dark space was lit by the flashlight of her phone, Meilin’s blood cooled down and her eyes dilated as the beast inside her finally came out in full force.
Without saying anything, Meilin directly punched the security lock which then exploded.
BOOM
The mechanics died down and she opened the door with brute strength.
Her brain was not sane anymore, but her hands were very gentle when they touched ZiXuan… each and every scar on his body felt like a stab to her heart… she came too late… but one thing she was sure of–
She connected her headset with her men outside, “I’M ABORTING THE MISSION AND THE DETAILS HAS BEEN CHANGED“, as she took out an oxygen mask from her backpack and put it on his face, with the same cold voice she spat out, “I’M TAKING DOWN THIS PLACE.”
It was an order and no one could go against it… after she saw his condition, there was just no way they wouldn’t face a violent consequence… but that will not be the end.
She saw his pale face… the colour still hadn’t returned, the look in her eyes turned evil and her face took a dark turn–
“INFILTRATE THIS FILTHY RAT HOLE, KEEP A TEAM OF DOCTOR WITH YOU READY, KEEP THEM IN STANDBY FOR NOW AND PASS MY ORDERS TO QIAN CHENG, ‘ TAKE OVER LI CORPORATION IN AN HOUR‘…”, passing her orders she cut off the connection…
In the end, she hadn’t wanted to do it… this company was supposed to belong to this man and she knew that he had wanted to take it with his own hands… but the level of her patience was not very good, she could stand everything except him being hurt.
As for the man who did this, well, they had to face each other one of these days… the time just came faster.
Meilin really hated herself for not studying medicines right now, but without care of the people outside, who were running towards this location to capture her, she patted ZiXuan’s face, “Xuanxuan… Xuanxuan…”
She could make a primary guess that his condition was severe and she had to make sure that he stayed awake… the air was also thin in here, though she could handle it, she didn’t know how long he has been here, but he looked frail and had lost a lot of blood, she assumed, his oxygen consumption was higher… well, it worked out and under a minute or so, she felt him move a little.
She heard footsteps off over 20 people running towards this place and she finally took out her twin blades from her bag… she also hadn’t wanted to do this, but even if these people were not at fault, they needed to be punished… ‘ a sword did not have eyes in a battle…’
Two blades in her hands, she stepped out of this small prison room for a second as she let go of her bag and phone….
The area became dark again…
But this time, this place had a predator with bloody eyes and she was hungry for her prey’s blood.
Those people had rushed into this block only to face the darkness; the condition was the same for both parties… considering the summation of their experiences as a whole, the two opposing sides had actually a difference in this area considering they were more in number and must have engaged in fights from a young age… but Meilin still didn’t back down… blood will again flow today, but this time, it will be their blood making the river…
She simply had a larger hunger and that was enough…
Her movements were like that of a silent assassin… she didn’t make any sound as she moved…
Her experience became her eyes and wherever she touched, she felt a resistance which she cut down…
“AHHH!”
“GRRRH!”
“ARGHH!”
The grieving sound of those who were cut by her played out like a symphony followed by a row of expletives where they shouted at others… some asked ‘What’s happening’ before falling for her blade while other called her a ‘B*tch’ before being slain.
The smell of blood started overpowering their senses as fear made a deep root inside them…. under a minute or two, Meilin had already cut down half of them as the rest tried to back down…
They had come thinking that they will overpower her and would make use of the darkness, she was just a woman, they thought.
The result?
It was the pool of blood she created!
Just when she had put down another man, for the first time, this space saw light and they lit up suddenly blinding these people who had been constraining themselves to find her…
As for Meilin, she had her eyes closed this whole time to sharpen her other senses…
As she slowly opened her eyes, she cut another two when they were blinded… and just like that, by the time those behind the camera could see the situation more clearly…
Meilin was the only person standing with men grovelling beside her leg; some crying of pain while others cursed at her.
Meilin hadn’t killed anyone, she needn’t need to worry about these people taking revenge because their only future was the central prison plus, she had cut the parts that needed to be cut…
Her hands were stained with blood dripping down from them, but her eyes remained unfeeling… she suavely looked at the surveillance camera at the top-corners and mouthes a, -your turn… next- and with swift movements, she raised the cut arms of two men beside her using the blades in her hand and-
SWISH
BANG
BANG
The hands flew at a tremendous speed simultaneously towards the opposite corners of this hall and broke the protruding cameras…
Just then–
“Li…n..lin?”, she heard the softest whisper of her Xuanxuan till date and for a second, her heart suffered a heavy blow… her guilt of taking this long to come to his rescue was trying to outweigh her reason.
The beast inside was still roaring, it wanted annihilation… and also wanted to make the owner of this voice a part of itself, to mend them together… that way, she won’t have to go through this ever again… that way, he would always be a part of her and could never leave her… for a second, she felt that it was the right thing to do… but one look at him and that thought vanished…
The man’s eyes were still a bit blurry and he still wasn’t able to sit down and had rolled over to get a look at her…. his eyes held a hint of confusion, as if, he couldn’t believe reality…well, he could have never guessed that she would come this soon to get him or more like, he thought that she would wait… well, the Meilin he understood had many sides he still wasn’t aware of…
Anyway, the emotion exceeding the confusion was relief and hope…
He had thought that she would forget him, she wouldn’t want him… her illusion will finally break after he left and she will find that what she felt for him was a bout of possessiveness and not love… he had been scared that he won’t be able to meet her….but just her presence, even if this was an illusion, a hallucination he was seeing… it meant a lot to him…
Even though it hurt to speak and he felt dizzy, he still tried to call her name, as if to make this moment last a little longer with a silly smile on his face as tears rolled down his eyes… “Lin…lin… Lin..li..n… Lin…li–”
He saw her run towards him and kneel down…
He felt her cold hands grasping his n.a.k.e.d body… but it sent a warm current down his body…
He saw her help his body up and after she had taken another look at his face, she embraced him, as the warmth of her body finally sank down, his eyes widened…
“It…really….is…you? Li..n…lin?”, he whispered.
Meilin didn’t say answer his question but whispered, “I’m really sorry… I was so late… I’m really sorry… Xuanxuan..”
Before ZiXuan could say anything… he felt warm drops fall on his back…
He was too shocked and froze…
He had never seen her like this… not even once…
Meilin… she was crying…
