Mark Of The Destiny - Chapter 297

Honey broke from Suyin’s arms and ran where Amara was. Though he pretended he was not looking at the dead animal, Suyin knew he was. He touched Amara’s cheek, “Amara, I will teach you climbing. Let that baby sleep.”

“Ah, little devil, you know how to climb?” Honey nodded, lying. Amara clapped her hands, taking Honey in arms, and spinning. She sniffed his hair, “Little devil, you smell so good. Just like my–” and then suddenly she started crying. Honey reached to wipe her tears, “Just like my Caleb. My cute cute Caleb.”

“Where is he?”

Amara jutted her lips out, “Hiding. Hiding. He’s hiding from me. Caleb, where are you? Come to momma, see, Little Devil wants to meet you.”

Wang Shi squeezed Suyin’s sweaty palm, making her turn towards him. Just then one of his men came looking for them. His panicked expression was the sign it couldn’t be any good news. Not like he had expected.

Suyin followed Wang Shi. She had a hunch this was Alpha’s doing. Revon ordered his men to clean the mess and put monkey in a cage.

“Make sure not to hurt mother, show Merci.” This was the first time Luo commanded Revon’s men and went after Suyin. Revon in tow.

The entire country was roaring against Wang family. Junjie had been trying his best to keep the situation under control, but how could he fight against the entire nation? Fire and swords are slow engines of destruction, compared to one rumour.

Suyin looked at Wang Shi. He was staring at the article headlines over internet. His fingers clenched around the phone. Jaw ticking.

Though she herself blamed Wang Shi for being a hand in killing her child, she hated every bit of it how others were calling him a murderer. She shouldn’t, but she did.

“Doctors are trying their best to curb the effects of pills. They have asked us to wait forty-eight hour–”

“Forty-eight?” Wang Shi growled, “He is already eighty-three. Have diabetes, and high blood pressure. Survived a major stroke four years back. Do you think his body is strong enough to hold it by that time? DAMMIT! WHAT THOSE IDIOT DOCTORS ARE DOING?” He slammed his hand on the table. The sound was sharp and echoed.

Startled, Xiu Mei looked up briefly in a worry, and resumed working on the laptop with one end attached to her droid, Orange. Though she wanted to walk up to Wang Shi and support him, her hands were already full at the moment. She can’t afford to let a single second go waste. She had to locate Alpha’s location at any cost.

Jianyu reached up and squeezed Wang Shi’s shoulder. He took the phone from Wang Shi’s hand, “Junjie, this is not a suicide attempt. Did you find something?”

“Nothing.” Junjie’s voice sounded, “Aunty Sima got suspicious when grandpa didn’t come out of his room the entire day and neither he replied when she knocked. The servants break the door open and found him lying on floor. An empty bottle beside him and a letter in pocket.”

“Rubbish. I had never prescribed sleeping pills to him. Their very existence is questionable.” Every medicine that reached Patriarch Wang used to come from Wang Shi with his signed prescription.

“There’s something more–” Junjie said, “My team had been thrown out from Wang pvt ltd’s headquarter. Uncle Chuzhi (Wang Shi’s cousin) has taken over the command. He wanted nothing to do with what he saw as your crisis. After grandpa, he had proclaimed himself as the legal owner. He even had papers.”

It made Wang Shi frown. The last time he had accepted taking over the family and business on the condition of letting Honey come here. Though not on paper, he’s the owner and current patriarch.

Junjie, “The situation is getting out of hand. Sean and Sangui are pressuring uncle to resign from his president’s position. We need sister Suyin to clear all this.” Lest he knew what Alpha had done something to make sure Suyin keeps her mouth shut.

Wang Shi shared a glance at Suyin, noticing her looking down at phone. He took it from her. Alpha had sent her a video. Two masked men were torturing James and Zeng.

It reminded him of something, “Junjie, what about Suyin’s parents? Are they safe? Wu Sean–”

“Don’t worry, brother. As per your orders earlier, I have a team guarding them in secret. Sean made an effort to get them out, but our commando killed his men. Sister Suyin’s assistant, and her interns are also safe.”

Suyin bit her lips, averting her gaze from Wang Shi’s face. It met with Xiu Mei’s as she gave a meaningful look consisting of many unspoken words.

“I-I–”

“It’s settled,” Interrupting her, Lu Xion came walking.  “Colton is leaving within an hour. He will take over Elder Wang’s case.” The news came as a relief. For everyone.

As if it was what Wang Shi needed most. He took a deep breath, “Junjie, leave the company. Don’t worry about it. Just concentrate on this matter and ask dad to delay his resignation.” He looked over shoulder at Jianyu, “When is military coming?”

“By evening.”

“Make it sooner. Since Alpha loves surprises, we will give him the biggest of his life.” Wang Shi said, “Mei, how much time?”

“Located. But need another three hours to make a blueprint. Damn,  wish we had someone who could lead us to the secret entrances and exit. These places always have one.”

That clicked something in Suyin. “We have someone. And I am sure he won’t disappoint us.”

“You are talking about Evan?”
