Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 215 212. Trash Talk..
Meilin had seen the scars in his body in different occasions, but she had some too and never pitied her… but seeing him like this… she couldn’t help but feel angry…
She was angry at him for not taking care of himself, at her for being this late and hatred towards these pesky worms for hurting him….
The reason behind tears was also not pity but sheer pain… the pain she felt because of his condition at the moment…
Still, she didn’t want to continue crying… it was a one-time thing and she was aware it won’t change anything… it was also the reason, she wouldn’t show this face to him…
For now, she had to get him out of here… and even before that, she had to take the revenge that was due… this time, both of her share and his too!
Meilin did shed some tears, but they didn’t last long… the burning pain inside her eyes returned to their usual coldness… in the matter of a few seconds, everything returned to normal… the tears, her pain, that agony… didn’t leave a trace behind.
ZiXuan was finally able to sit by himself, he wondered if his mental state played a role behind this…. all this time, he has been too weak and had almost given up on everything, but that pain and distress were swept away when he felt her presence and his own anxiety was washed by those precious tears she just she for him… That thought of having nothing to live for or, her moving forward in life without him… everything felt like a distant dream…
Yes, all he needed was her to be by his side…
It’s just that, he has learnt a little from his past and this time… after everything is over–
“Linlin… let’s talk…let’s… have..a long…. talk..after this… ends..”, he whispered into her ears.
Meilin softly took back her head from his shoulders and looked straight into his eyes, a pious and pure feeling oozing out of them as she answered, “hmm…. let’s do just that…”
…
ZiXuan was clearer about the layout so, it became easier this time around.
After a long while, the two were walking side by side with Meilin helping him by carrying half of his weight…
Meilin didn’t have any extra cloth on her backpack, well, even she was ready enough to carry them and so, he only had that underwear on…
Maybe, she still had some hope that he would be fine or, that man wouldn’t treat him like this… not because he was his son, but because he needed him…
She found what that man wanted from ZiXuan a while ago… but she didn’t get angry.
That man was too desperate it seems plus, he didn’t deserve her anger… Well, all that was left was the return analysis.
What he did to her Xuanxuan, ha to be returned and because the shock, distress and harm done has been too much… all she will leave for him is a ghost of what his much cherished Li corporation was at a point…
She had talked about it with ZiXuan and he too was okay with it… at this point, whatever Meilin spoke was for him to accept, he wanted her mood to not be affected by this situation too much…
He indeed loved it when she cried for him… but the stress and panic that followed was heavier…
He didn’t want her to cry like that… ever again!
Anyway, the lightning was still better in this part and it was warmer than that hall; ZiXuan has been sipping on some energy drinks and similar solutions all this while to get back his health even a second faster…
Well, the gang was huge, but that didn’t mean that everyone was present here at the moment.
By now, the number of casualties just from this young lady’s assault had crossed the triple-digit and though she didn’t show it, ZiXuan could still see how exhausted she was and his guess was that she had not been in good health before coming here…. he was distressed and exasperated at the same time… even in her condition, doing this much felt monstrous but still, he had to support her as well and for that, he needed to get back his energy.
But of course, this world wouldn’t let them go this easily…
The moment, they walked out of the building and even before the sun rays could reach them….
KERCHEK KERCHEK KERCHEK KERCHEK
The both saw around two dozen men pointing their guns at them, and at the centre stood a man; his eyes cold enough to give frost bites and his aura strong enough to make an average human faint on spot, he stood there ramrod straight with his face devoid of any emotion in a formal black suit with a golden dragon embroidered on it…
To his side stood another tall and handsome man who looked to be in his middle twenties; he had androgynous features, but that evil look in his eyes overpowered them… he too was pointing his gun at them, but the only difference was, in contrast to everyone else, this man looked them with some amus.e.m.e.nt and clear killing intent.
Meilin guessed that the first man was Mu Tianluo and to his side stood his right-hand man, the second-in-command of the gang, Guan Li.
Well, Meilin had done her research and knew that these two were her prey… the first one was directly involved and as for the second guy… she had personal interests, you see, the only information she got when she had obliterated that certain gang was that the one to request them, back then, to get rid of ZiXuan…
Meilin glanced at the two before her eyes squinted; Guan Li has been minutely watching her and reflexively turned back with his gun still pointing at her only to see a group of men in military suits running towards them.
Guan Li turned to look straight into her eyes and felt a deep sense of similarity with this woman… they had a very similar look in their eyes; his lips took a strange angle and decorated a hideous smile on face as he spoke, “tsk! Young Miss, this isn’t the place for us to fight, ah! Why did you have to come here? The man beside you is fated to be a part of this world…”, he tried to open with some casual talk before his real intentions took over, “do you think this place is too easy for you to get into? Who do you think will reach you faster? My bullet or those men?”
Meilin saw that maniac look in his eyes as he spat his threats, but if she could be scared by this much… she wouldn’t be standing here, now would she?
It had been a while since she trash-talked, but–
“It was easy… your men are too weak and as for the answer, it’s the bullet from my sniper team…”, the level of truth behind it… well, nobody knows.
But as she had expected, Guan Li stiffened and the silent man finally spoke, “Do you think you can walk out of here alive? Even I have a limit to my patience–”
Meilin cut him off, “I can and it was you who started it… hmm… But it is really inefficient to talk like this, we are wasting too much of our time. I haven’t killed anyone yet and your country’s government will be taking action very soon. So, let’s decided the result with a 1v1″, her words were concise as she suavely ran her free hand through her hair, ” if I win… you’ll pass all your powers to me…”, she didn’t continue, both because she was confident enough to win and that the other side gets to choose what they wanted in case they did win.
Meilin had been cynical enough to fire their brains out, but at the last moment, she thought differently… well, ZiXuan was safe now, the Li corporation will be devoured by her empire in another 30 minutes or so and these people had become too weak.
Now she gets to chose how their lives will continue from this point onwards so, why give them immediate deaths, right?
Mu Tianluo gritted his teeth and finally showed the deep-rooted hatred he had been suppressing, ” That wrench had to die and this tool will be used by me. Don’t overestimate your–”
Meilin again cut him off, ” I don’t give a damn about that woman and as for this man by my side; from the moment he entered the mansion… HE HAS BEEN MINE…. and nobody decides how he lives except for him and me. For the record, the Ivanov family isn’t enough to back you,… Neither they nor you should have taken interest in what’s mine… Don’t flame me more than this, I can’t guarantee that you can still keep you ashes”, her voice held conviction and strength, but nobody could deny that strong smell of possessiveness in her words.
She had finally stated hr stand on the matter.
This time, everyone including ZiXuan froze…
Mu Tianluo hadn’t expected such a relationship, but her words made one thing clear, if he interfered then she will just forcefully take over… this is why he had delved into business, according to him, even if he stood at the top of the chain, with enough capital he won’t make an impact… and this time, this woman was doing just that–
It wasn’t her confidence on her strength doing the talk but the large capital and connections over the world… he wasn’t bitten by a rabid dog and so, if he knew this sow’s position in that family was as so… he would have taken another route…
His confidence came from the fact that they had internal fightings over the throne and by taking this sow out of this young girl’s way, they might develop an amicable relationship plus, ‘that’ man also spoke in length about the bad relation these two shared…
He hadn’t wanted to make an enemy out of her; not that he was scared, just that he had a family behind him he cared for as well.
As for ZiXuan, he couldn’t believe his ears and thought it might have been some sort of auditory hallucination at first… but once he saw the look in that man’s eyes, he was exhilarated…
He didn’t see anything wrong in her words, he was indeed hers, to begin with, but–
‘Can this be called a confession?’
