Fatal Attraction: The CEO & His Mischievous Wife - Chapter 121

“I….I think we should cut our timeline down by two-thirds, we can’t let this go longer than the end of this month.”

“Two-thirds??? You do realize the end of month is in two weeks, that’s way out of our calculations.” Ming Ming threw her hands up in frustration as she roughly ran her hand through her hair. The previous tense atmosphere became charged with frustration with the change of events. Ying Yue didn’t even want to respond because inwardly she agreed with Ming Ming’s words but all she could was speak on what was logical.

“You think I don’t know that?! But we need to get to him as soon as possible, once the military gets him its over for us. There is no way they will trust him enough to run without protection or leave the base in general. We have to avoid the military as much as possible, you know nothing that we are doing is legal.” Her voice was filled with irritation and a resentful emotion towards Wu Gang.

“That prick?! I’m so mad, I can’t wait till we get our hands on that rat. For all the work he’s putting us through he deserves to get stabbed at the very least!” Ming Ming was quick to jump on their new line of thinking, there was no point in refuting any longer when that was the only option they had left. She was sure to complain 300 more times but would at the end, follow whatever what Ying Yue said.

Giving Ming Ming a deadpan look she felt her emotions become lighter from her comment. “Well…..no stabbing…-”

“BUT -”

“BUT! We can definitely rough him up a lot, a rat like that can’t die too easily. We’ll use him for everything he is worth….and have some fun along the way. Don’t forget we have to give him back to the military so they don’t suspect anything.”

Her subtle implication was clear to both Ming Ming and Neo. Even at their own frustration they knew that Ying Yue was the one who held the most grievances against him. For her to remain so calm did not mean she would let him go easily. All they had to do was torture him in ways that the regular eye or even the military would not suspect. Wu Gang was from the underworld after all, a couple of small bruises and scars would not stand out nor did they think the military would care too much if there was a fresh wound. They had a use for him so he couldn’t die, his level of importance to them was still to be determined but they would not let him leave peacefully.

“Neo, you’re quiet. What are you thinking?” Ying Yue glanced at her silent friend who had kept his eyes trained on the computer. He didn’t move but his gaze never wandered making her believe that he was seriously considering something.

“I think we are underestimating this scenario…I don’t think we can even wait the two weeks. The military won’t wait that long.” His words were quiet but sent a wave of panic into their hearts. They had initially banked on two weeks because Wu Gang had just started making movements. It would take time for the military to notice his message and then set up a safe way to come into contact with him. In their previous tracking of him he had always maintained the same routine so it was hard for them to believe the military had a special eye on him. Even if it was a small one it was towards his actions in dealing, not related to his general movements like buying a drink. Yet, if he already knew the military was looking at him extra carefully his move this morning was a direct agreement to them. That would push the timeline ever earlier to a couple of days at max.

“F*ck me.” Ying Yue felt the need to hit something just from the annoyance she felt about the situation. She was initially confident with the two weeks but had forgotten such a blatant point. Neo did not even to say anything for her to understand her error. It seemed that after using her brain excessively during training that she was in a state to miss such an important point or at least consider it further. She couldn’t say that it did not pass her mind briefly but she immediately dismissed it as the chances were low. However, that was the wrong decision. Even if the chances were low if it was indeed right, their two weeks of planning would be a mess and would throw them directly into the tiger’s mouth.

“You’re right, I made the wrong calculations. Based on this assumption we have three to four days maximum. Right now it is Wednesday, we have to execute our mission on Sunday. If there’s any indication that they will come sooner we have to do this on Saturday. This also means we can only hold him for a day or so before things start getting suspicious, at that point our surveillance has to be at its strongest point. No matter what, our lives are the most important.”

There was another wave of silence between them as they individually began calculating what they needed. The situation was far from what they wanted and six months of planning had practically crumbled from the rushed timeline. In their original timeline they were going to draw him out into their net and carefully capture him. Now, they could only brazenly capture him at the risk of the military catching them too.

“I’m definitely beating his ass when we get him.” Ming Ming muttered.
