RING

TING

TING

BEEP

Suyin’s ears perked. Without even bothering to look behind at the reporters she knew what made their phones ring. She could already see the drama ahead, Gilbert had reached to answer his phone excusing himself for a moment; only to let out a shocking gasp as he heard the news.

“WHAT?”

Silence ensued in the hall when they heard Gilbert’s voice.

“SHOW ME….. SHOW ME, NOW!”

His accusing eyes drifted to Suyin; silently bringing everyone’s attention to the two. The next second he peeled his gaze away from her and looked at the phone’s screen.

PLOP

His knees gave up. “That’s her….. that’s my baby….” What followed was the painful mourning of a father for his only daughter. It looked really heart wrenching to witness something like this, but Suyin already knew the reality behind it.

…

“W-Why did you kill her? WHY? Your animosity was against me, why did you kill my daughter? You have crossed every limit of cruelty Suyin. I never wanted to kill your child, it was Tang Sui, then why you killed my girl? My Xeumo….. Life had always been cruel; years back I lost my wife in an accident, and now you killed my daughter. Why not kill me as well? Just kill me…”

[The information I got says Zhao Suyin’s assistant was caught in the outskirts of the city with a woman’s body in the car’s booty.]

[It says he was trying to dispose the body. And two of Zhao Suyin’s interns were with him too.]

[So it’s true! So it’s true what Mrs. Tang had said. ]

[It seems so…..On one side Zhao Suyin poisoned Tang Sui, and disappeared Mr. Qi, while on the other she kidnapped Ling Xeumo and killed her. According to the information we have received so far, it seems Zhao Suyin did it for revenge.]

[But it looks like Mr. Gilbert suffered the biggest loss. Poor father.]

[I agree. Miss. Zhao had all the reasons to do this. She was a mother herself, how can she kill someone else’s child?]

Reporters whispered.

Tang Sui and Hui Chouming shared a glance and scooted away. Perfect timing! Though they hated watching Gilbert portray himself as a victim, they were extremely satisfied seeing Suyin pulled into bigger trouble.

“SHUT UP!” James was sitting in the corner watching the drama unfold, but when everyone started accusing Suyin he couldn’t stand it. He walked to Suyin and clasped her cold hand into his. “Every truth has two sides, you might as well look at both before passing your non required comments. Don’t forget, every word said from your mouth, can and will be used against you.”

“Exactly, how can you blindly believe in that pig’s words? Do you have any evidence my Susu did it?” Suyin saw her family enter the room and stood with her. Her eyes watered when her own brother spoke for her and held her other hand.

Gilbert, “Xeumo’s body was found in her assistant’s car. What other proof do you want? It’s not a secret she hated us. Firstly, it was because of her medical license, and let me say it last time- It was Suyin’s mistake in the surgery that costs her medical license, I have nothing to with it. Second, I genuinely tried to save her child. So stop blaming me. Thirdly, I now doubt, Gong Li’s death has something to do with her. She’s a madwoman who can go to any extent just to get revenge. She’s a danger to the society—- Gong Li, my daughter, Mr. Qi, and now Mrs. Tang Sui is already poisoned. Who’s next? Me? Mrs. Hui? Or who? SPEAK. WHY ARE YOU SILENT NOW?”

Suyin smiled, “Actually, I’m enjoying the drama in silence. Just missing the popcorn and Pepsi. Jamie, you remember we used to binge-watch Netflix every weekend. Don’t you think live action is better?”

“I hundred percent agree. If you want, I have brought ham sandwiches for you with mint mayo.”

They both said loud and clear for the entire hall to listen.

“Keep those sandwiches safe. We will eat it after all this is over,” she whispered.

“Oh, wait!” Zeng squeezed Suyin’s hand to get her attention, “You never watched Netflix with me. Btw, what’s Netflix?”

James wrinkled his nose, “Which planet has your brother descended from? Did he just question what Netflix is?”

“I know!” Suyin dramatically placed a hand on her chest, “It’s a sin, ge. Just shoo shoo…. you cannot join our team.”

Zeng pulled Suyin closer; fighting to snatch Suyin from James, “Hey don’t say like that. I’ll read about it. Every detail! Next time you will watch N-Netflix with me. I wonder what this show is about?” he muttered.

James rolled his eyes, “Hey watch it, you are stepping into my boundary. My hubby won’t like it. And btw, Netflix is not a show but an OTT platform.”

Every person present nearby wanted to puke blood at these three people’s audacity to discuss Netflix at a critical time like this.

Si Han glanced at the reporters, thanking God these people didn’t hear the rest of the conversation. “Ahem… ahem…” Suyin caught her mother’s eyes and her father’s too, both giving her a look. She smiled.

“Actually, let’s get over with this drama first.” She took a step while tying her hair into a messy bun, securing it with a pen she borrowed from a reporter from a front row. A confident and attractive action. “So…. Since my assistant is in a trouble right now, let me ask my two boys to assist me. Jamie, there’s a tab in my bag, please connect it with the projector and help me. And ge, I need you to coordinate with someone over the phone.” saying she threw the Bluetooth device at Zeng.

“First, let me enlighten Mrs. Tang that she’s not poisoned. I have read your reports, and your symptoms point out two diseases. Either lime disease, or tick paralysis. Mostly the latter. Probably you contracted it from someone who went overseas and brought it with him. So relax, you won’t die. Doctors, please check her.” Then she looked at Hui Chouming, “Isn’t it really silly of you to ask about your husband to me? For God’s sake, I’m not a dumb woman to put a crown on a clown twice. Besides, I know what you do to those women who come closer to your husband. For example Fixten lake. Jamie, please play the slide named Chouming….”

It was a well-organized video made with photographs, pointing at something.

A crime!

It showed the missing reports of six women who vanished over the last five years. And the photographs showed they were last seen with Qi Wren. The latter part was a confession of a man who committed all the crimes at the order of Hui Chouming.

“I have already handed over the man to the cops and have asked them to search Lake Fixten. I’m sure you all are intelligent enough to understand what happened here. I won’t bother you with this part because I have something more important to look after….. For example- the honorable Mr. Gilbert! I’m very sorry for your loss; If you had another child, life would be easier to spend at this age. Right? If may I ask why you chose not to have another child? Or marry again after your wife’s death?”

“WHAT?” Not only Gilbert, but every person felt the same at Suyin’s questions. “Can’t believe you will be this inhuman.”

“Miss. Zhao, asking such questions is ridiculous.” The assistant spoke up.

“Just humor me once. I’m curious. Or let’s say it’s important as you mentioned something about your wife and accident,”

Gilbert sighed, “I wanted to give all my love to my first child. That’s it. And I didn’t marry, because I love my wife with all my heart. I will forever love her. Did you get a problem with that as well? Someone call the cops, I don’t want to see this monster in front of me”

“Oh my God, I’m touched.” Suyin said, “Jamie, someone has sent me a mail just now; with the name W. Please put those doc.u.ments on the projector. Let everyone see Mr. Gilbert’s, unparalleled love.”

Suyin briefly glanced at Zeng who was talking to someone over Bluetooth and let him be. Don’t know what Wang Shi was doing on the other side. Gilbert’s eyes widened in shock when he saw the name of the hospital on the doc.u.ments.

“These are Mr. Gilbert’s wife’s medical reports from a low key hospital in Guanzo province. Four IDX procedures. For those who don’t know, we call this surgical removal of the fetus. I’m sure honorable Mr. Gilbert’s wife developed complications in every of her pregnancy and had to go through this. But I wonder, why he chose this low key hospital instead of getting it done in Ace? Were the facilities not better there?”

“And…. there’s something more. He had an appointment booked for the fifth IDX, but while he was on his way there, he met with a serious accident and was thrown out of the window. Though his wife and the baby survived, his wife received severe brain damage. On Mr. Gilbert’s insistence doctors put her on the ventilator for four months to let the baby give some more time to grow and later she gave birth to a premature girl before dying. Mr. Gilbert, may I ask why you were going for the fifth IDX when the baby was perfectly healthy?”

“I-It was a problem with my wife. There were high chances for her to die because of her poor heart.”

“Yet you pushed her to five pregnancies instead of using protection. What a love!”

“I-I–”

“Don’t speak in between. I’m not done yet,” her voice came low and dangerous, announcing the game was still hers. “Let’s move on….. just now you said you love your daughter and wife dearly. Then why are you seeking treatment for your impotency for the last two decades? I wonder what another use your d*ck has that you are eager to see it at the job once more.” On cue, James gladly started showing doc.u.ments containing the details of the treatment.

“….”

“Pfft….” Zhao Shu covered his mouth instantly, least he does something embarrassing. Si Han looked sideways and scowled.

“This…. this she inherited from you!”

“And I’m loving it.”

“Shut up.”

“You—” Forgetting he was to act weak, Gilbert bolted up and yanked all the wires attached to the projector. “You are trying to deviate from the topic. How all this concerns my daughters’ death–” he had a feeling of premonition when Zeng step up and whispered something in Suyin’s ear, bringing a devious smile to her face.

“Who said your daughter is dead?”
