Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 219 216. End Of His Past..

The two talked in length that day…

It seems that Xiao Bai was younger than his elder brother by a decade or so, and he was without a family after his brother was murdered.

His brother’s girlfriend who was like an elder sister to him was also dragged to that hell a few days later;

he still vividly remembers the memories of that day… she had talked to him all about what happened and had cried, she had asked him to stay happy, but if he gets the chance to, he must get his revenge… He still remembers the sad look in her eyes from back then, she must not have wanted for him to exact revenge, but she had been that desperate back then…

Later he came to C-country and joined the army and just like that for the last 16 years or so, he has been putting his life on the line, getting merits and hoping for that single chance to get that man to his knees and plea for mercy.

ZiXuan also told him the truth about what happened back then… he had expected to see Xiao Bai hit him; even though he didn’t have any choice and also suffered after killing her, he didn’t deserve forgiveness, but contrary to his expectations, Xiao Bai had simply thanked him… considering the sort of torture she might have gone through, it was much better for her to get a quick death.

The days continued to pass by, they didn’t get enough time to talk as they were still in the special forces… but a month later, ZiXuan found that Xiao Bai has been hurt in a mission and he would be retiring.

That night they had met again… he had again expected to see a look of desolation, but his eyes shone brighter than any time he had seen him.

The plan had started on this day–

Xiao Bai had lost one eye and had voluntarily asked for retirement, he could get a post for desk jobs or, could have even become a civil officer, but he refused it all and decided to go back.

To him, it was like the fate was giving him another chance… before going back to the country, he had asked ZiXuan for a request, “I’ll infiltrate his gang and break it from inside. When the time comes, I hope that you’ll take over it….”

As he had said, he joined the gang and without anyone knowing, he has been amassing the forces… the only person he couldn’t handle was Guan Li… so, when he saw that man fall… he knew… they all knew, Mu Tianluo had become a paper tiger… he definitely lost his fangs.

There was a time, he was feared by all, but after he took over the Li conglomerate, the proud lion left his spot and forgot to sharpen his sword… it seems like, Li Bao’s curse worked… she had wanted to take this man down with her, and as matters stood, the money and connection she had collected turned into the sin of greed. This man who had hated the idea of rich families, couldn’t let go of the same when it came to himself as well…

…

Coming back to the present…

Xiao Bai had worked himself to the top of the food chain in a year and a half… he was now working as his bodyguard, in the way, he was also severely injured and almost died protecting this man he had always wanted to kill… but he finally himself into the top brass for the same reason and could now wield arms… for the last 3 months or so, he has been igniting the sparks of a coup here and there…

Mu Tianluo has given up on many matters and was either busy going to the company or, searching for his son… there has been discontent, they just needed a catalyst.

The reason, ZiXuan had wanted to wait a little more before he came here was because they needed some time… but after what happened a week or so ago, where Mu Tianluo even lost some capital as Meilin took over the projects, the very few who were also interested in his capital finally came together.

This last week, the majority of the men in his gang were taken under control by the senior officials as Guan Li and Mu Tianluo were more interested in watching ZiXuan writhe in pain… and just like that, the revolt reached its peak.

For the record, these people had wanted to take over the gang after they got rid of Mu Tianluo, but after Meilin showcased her prowess just now and ZiXuan who was still standing even after that hell he went through and of course, the humongous capital behind them… they swore to follow them.

.

Xiao Bai pointed the nuzzle of his gun at point-blank range on Mu Tianluo’s temple as ZiXuan brought forward his business smile and spoke in a flat tone, “It seems, you guys are having some internal discord. I’ll come back for you on a later date then, Mr Mu.”

But just then, he noticed that Meilin’s intercom beeped, he very casually held her body in one hand and received the call; it was Qian Cheng.

<boss, the=”” work=”” is=”” done.=”” stocks=”” of=”” li=”” conglomerate=”” plummeted=”” and=”” i=”” bought=”” it=”” under=”” your=”” name.=”” as=”” right=”” now,=”” you’re=”” largest=”” shareholder=”” group.=”” what=”” would=”” you=”” like=”” me=”” to=”” do?=””>, his words precise and his voice respectful.</boss,>

ZiXuan raised an eyebrow when he heard Cheng call her boss, but he had a bemused smile as he replied, “Cheng, it’s me. No need to do anything for now. I’ll handle it from this side.”

, even Qian Cheng was shocked, he had known for a while that, his Boss had her eyes on the Li conglomerate, but he thought that it was an occupational disorder and she couldn’t even control herself from doing the work even during her break… but it seems, she had actually gone out to bring CEO Qin!!

“hm… Cheng, don’t tell anyone else for the time being. I’ll talk to you later…”, after he said this and heard his affirmation, he finally cut the connection and carried her in princess style once again…

Everyone was gawking at him as he acted this relaxedly… before telling Mu Tianluo, “Mr Mu, I don’t need your gang anymore and nor will Meilin need it; we got what he came here for…”, he had a cold smile on his face.

As if in a cue, Mu Tianluo got a call, which Xiao Bai put on speaker forcefully–

<sir, our=”” value=”” went=”” down=”” around=”” an=”” hour=”” or=”” so=”” ago,=”” and=”” the=”” qin=”” empire=”” suddenly=”” bought=”” a=”” large=”” portion=”” of=”” it.=”” as=”” now,=”” meilin=”” is=”” largest=”” shareholder,=”” even=”” more=”” than=”” your=”” collective=”” share–=””>, before he could continue, the call was cut off and the air turned grim.</sir,>

ZiXuan saw Mu Tianluo grit his teeth in anger, his eyes bloodshot but he didn’t dare speak a word, years without fighting and leaving an almost civil life, has turned this man who was once respected as a battle maniac into someone who trembled under a gun…

ZiXuan sighed internally as he felt that, all this was too ridiculous and anti-climatic…

The person who had been the core reason for his trauma for years now was this weak… he felt like fate had really made a joke on him… he even lost his desire to end this man’s life with his own hand… revenge felt ridiculous.

He gave a last look to the man before his grip on Meilin tightened as he walked away without looking back…

His past was finally over.

The special forces division also followed him back… their job was done, and as their mission stated, they found some things about these two…

A. it seems like Qin Meilin was indeed a threat, but if not rattled she won’t harm anyone, and

B. the greatest underworld organisation in the South East and East Asia are changing leaders;

but contrary to the initial bet Qin Meilin had only wanted the business and nothing else…

Having guessed what the thought of these people was as a small arc formed on his lips.

The only reason, he didn’t establish his relationship with Xiao Bai and why Xiao Bai hid his face was all the same; they were ready for this the moment they found that the military had followed them.

With this… everything went well.

BANG

After he had reached a fair distance, the sound of a bullet being shot rang out in this quiet area.

ZiXuan had a beautiful smile and the smallest trace of haze in those dark orbs finally left him for good…

It was his new beginning with his beloved.

.

….

Meilin tried to open her eyes… but everything remained dark.

Her heartbeat was abnormal as she inhaled the smell of disinfectant.

A frown replaced her beautiful arcs… this world felt so foreign as there was a ringing sound inside her ears…

Images rolled by in a flash as she felt a tingling pain behind her head… she wanted to catch one image… any image would do… because she wasn’t sure of anything anymore…

This darkness added more to that restlessness…

‘Just who am I…?’
