Double Moon - Chapter 43

“Just know that if you want to make a decision, it should be fast. The bounty needs to be alluring to many people for this to succeed. If you move a finger behind, there will be war. And I am sure you want to avoid that.” With that, Nian Rong and Minzhe Shaoqiang turned around.

Wei Ru stood there without a word as he gazed towards the sky. Then, he exhaled.

In a big conference room, five people sat in their positions. Behind them stood one person. The reserved honor chair was empty in the conference room.

The first among the five seated was Yaozu Hai. He was the director of Sha Tin university. A tall man with a skinny bone. He was smiling harmlessly like a free spirit with his conspicuous eyeglasses. Beside him was Jig Yaochuan. A humble man with a submissive expression. He was the assistant of Yaozu Hai.

Next to them was Yongrui Kang! The director of Chen Yu Tung University. A complete bald man with a scary face like a killer. His eyes were small, and his jaw was full of beard. Standing beside him was Jie Lifen. A confused female who was easily startled. She was the assistant of Yongrui Kang.

Next to them was Kuo Lijun! The director of Chung Chi university. He looked like he was in a daze as if he was about to remember something. His arm folded to his chest with his eyes close. Next to him was Lijuan Kuaihai. A brilliant and assertive mind that always pulled the director back to his senses. They bicker like lovers all the time. She was Kuo Lijun’s Secretary.

The following person was Song Tai-Hua. The director of Fudan University in Jong Ji city. A proud, arrogant, and dismissive man. He thinks he’s superior, and everyone must bow to him. Standing close to him was Susu Yingpie, a timid and anxious fellow. He looked like a slave instead of an assistant. He was the Secretary of Song Tai-Hua.

The last person was naturally Fai Renshu, the director of Ma Liu Shiu University who was expressionless, and his Secretary, Huan Bik, was there as well.

At this moment, three people walked into the conference room. The president and his Secretary, and another man.

The man was burly and huge. There was no smile on his face as he was frowning extremely. His muscles were thick and his chest broad. There was no atom of fear revealed on his face.

Dingbang Yongzhengi! The president’s first-class security guard.

The president was in the forefront while the Secretary and the guard were behind him, a step away. He walked slightly anxious as he went to his reserved honored seat and sat down. The two people that came with him stayed beside him left and right.

“Good morning, President.” Everyone echoed.

“Good morning! Let us begin. Time is of the essence.” Chang Ye spoke.

“I feel like I am trying to remember something,” Kuo Lijun spoke, tilting his head to his left side.

“Director, this is an important discussion,” Linuan Kuaihai admonished.

“What do you mean? I am serious more than anyone here, including the President. No offense.” Kuo Lijun barked.

Everyone gazed at them with slight surprise. It was as though the people understood both of them very well.

“How is the situation of Ma Liu Shiu?” the president questioned openly.

“We have taken measures, but it seems we miscalculated external influences like the wolves and hunters.” Fai Renshu bowed in shame.

“Sir, I sent more security men, but the students had decided that nothing could calm them down. We might as well suspend activities of that place and declare it a state of emergency for the time being,” Dingbang Yongzhengi answered calmly.

“Ah! That was my previous idea.” Kuo Lijun exclaimed.

“Shut up, already. I don’t want to hear your confused lamentation, Kuo Lijun. I might just kill you the moment you open your mouth again, saying incoherent things.” Yongrui Kang exploded with anger.

“My my…we are not here for wrestling.” Yaozu Hai inserted with a harmless smile.

However, Song Tai-Hua snorted, his eyes gazed at his fellow directors with disdain. Then, he spoke. “President Chang Ye, I suggested we move on with our plan. Let us bring the five scientists to Jong Ji. This is our base of operation. Allowing them to be scattered in their various university is futile. The special chemical missile is ready. I thoroughly supervised it. So we are waiting for the bio-robotic scientists to come over and begin as well.” His voice sounded like a command rather than a request or suggestion.

However, at this moment, there was a beeping sound on everyone’s phone. Simultaneously, in the middle of the light blue ellipse shape table. A 3D box screen rose with a picture of me, Jun Mey. It said, ‘one million yuan for anyone that bring my head and body.’ In addition to that information, there was information about age, school, and hometown.

This information transmitted the whole of the city’s information system.

In a slightly dim forest, I knelt in front of two pictures with incenses burning slowly. I kowtowed my head seven times. My expression was grim and cold.

“Wang Chen and Chi An, I will kill all these bastards that made your lives short. I never wanted any of this. I just wanted to stay within your reach, Chi An. Yet, they took you away from me. I will make them pay double and let them understand what it means to lose something. Each of them one by one, if they don’t pay me a visit, then I will.” I said with determination as strands of tears strode down my white face. My eyes were dull and lifeless. It was as though I was blind.

Even though Wang Chen was important to me, the person that I felt the most ache for was Chi An. Of course, this did not make me bias or anything. As the saying, ‘it is not how long you have known people that mattered but how much influence they had made on you.’ Wang Chen was a good friend. I knew her after I became friends with Nuan Mei. We were in the same volleyball club, and I liked her energy. Well, even though Nuan Mei didn’t.

Now, this was not to say that she had little influence on me. However, compared to Chi An, she was far behind. Of course, I felt excruciating pain that she had lost her life unjustly.. That was why I wouldn’t forgive those bastards.
