Mark Of The Destiny - Chapter 313

“You didn’t answer how my interns are?”

Assistant Long went behind the wheelchair. “For that, you have to come with me.”

“Me too, me too,” Honey joined, walking by her side.

They stopped in the hospital’s porch from where she could see rows of tents covering the hospital compound, leaving just enough to let pass emergency vehicles.

But the biggest surprise that awaited her was her interns. Some sitting behind the desk, doing desk work; some running around with walkie-talkies, and most of them serving the ones wounded. She saw Revon and recognized people from his army helping her interns as well.

“Assistant Long–”

He sighs. “They ate half my brain by continuously asking about your whereabouts. So I made a request to Miss. Fei Hong if she could help me connect to Mr. Feng and get an update about you.”

“And I did,” Fei Hong joined out of nowhere. “When they came to know you got injured, and a plane was about to fly from Cheyna with doctors on board, they plead to let them join.”

“And you did?” Suyin glared at the two. “Their internship is over; they were supposed to be in college. Do you know how risky it is? What will I answer to their parents if something happened to them? They are my interns, how dare you make decision without my permission?”

Assistant Long secretly pinged the interns on their WhatsApp group before a certain angry momma butcher him. “But mam–”

“Shut up. Send them back to Cheyna. NOW–”

In no time, the group of youngsters gathered around her, everyone looking at her fondly. Assistant Long exhaled in relief.

“How are you feeling, mam?” someone asked.

She put on her usual cold expression, “Fools. Idiots. Reckless kids. Why did you all come here?”

The group leader, Yu Mixi, stepped forward. “Social services is the art of listening and science of hope. We learned it from you, mam,”

“Be someone’s light when they are hopeless.”

“There is no bigger religion than servicing the needy. There lies the biggest happiness,”

“People from social services do not necessarily have to have time, but they necessarily have to have the heart.”

“Your internship is over. You should be attending lectures in college.” She narrowed her eyes at the group. This was the first time they were standing with their heads facing up instead of looking at their shoes. And she could tell every one of them was beaming with inner happiness one gets in this job. Proud momma she was. “Send them back,”

A panic rose. “NOOOOO!” Everyone sang in sync.

Yu Mixi pointed at the people undergoing treatment. “No class will teach us this. And, we are here to help our teacher. We know you would have done the same.”

“Yes, mam,”

“Please, mam,”

“Please, mam,”

And Assistant Long, of course. He ran to stand in front of the group and joined in pleading. A strange expression covering Suyin’s face. She could feel her cold demeanor melting. These kids were her best interns ever. Truly.

“Revon,” she called. Revon looked at her. “Can you make sure of their safety? And see none of them exhaust themselves.” he gave a thumbs-up.

“YAYYYYYY!”

“Minus twenty points.” Everyone stepped away from her. “Assistant Long, send a letter to their universities and inform them they are with me on a project.” it was to mark their attendance in university. “Everyone dismiss. Go back to your jobs.”

They hurried away, smiling from ear to ear, celebrating.

Honey threw his around Suyin’s shoulder. “You are strict. Thank God you are not my teacher.”

Suyin c.o.c.ked her head, “Too bad, I’m your mother, which makes me your everything. Just you wait….”

Honey “….”

…

…

“Interview? But I asked for direct media interaction.” Suyin didn’t even bother to look at the interview questions prepared by Fei Hong. The entire idea of a live interview didn’t go down well with her.

“Media will attack you with questions like a pack of hungry wolves. And the most asked question will be about your son’s death and Wang Shi’s connection with it.” Fei Hong reasoned, “I know your motive to hold a press conference is to clear Brother Shi and his family’s name, an interview with me will do just that. You don’t have to answer unnecessary questions.”

“You guys are worried about me,” Suyin smiled. “I know what I’m doing. This has to end now.” she glanced at Honey who was serving water to everyone. “For both my sons. I don’t want to leave an open end that will poke us like a thorn in the future. Just do it.”

Fei Hong followed Suyin’s line of sight, and then she looked at a certain someone hiding behind the pillar.

Suyin, “Come out.”

Zeng came out, rubbing the back of his neck. “I was not eavesdropping.”

“Yeah. You were boiling eggs.” Suyin turned to Fei Hong. “So that’s what brings you here?”

“Yes. I got worried when he and James vanished.” unaware to anyone, Zeng kept Fei Hong updated about their investigation and whereabouts in France. The last he called was when they were chased by goons, but sadly the call was interrupted halfway. However, it was enough for Hong to understand they were in danger.

After that, she had tried getting help, and the first person who crossed her mind was Junjie. But to her disappointment, that man child was still holding on to that stupid proposal and ignored her calls and messages.

For God’s sake, she was in need. Hadn’t he said he’d be there in need? And this concerns the women whom his cousin happens to be dating.

Even Xiu Mei’s phone was switched off. She then called Feng Jianyu who not only gave her an update on Suyin but instantly send his man to France in search of Zeng and James.

That was the last update she received. Considering Jianyu was helping Wang Shi and Suyin in El Sandrios, she didn’t dare to make a call or drop a message, least she disturbs them.

Those days were most torturous. She was helpless. Useless.

No! Not useless. She has the power of millions of people who follow her on Social media and YouTube. If she cannot help Zeng, then she’d help Suyin and Wang Shi to take care of the false rumors spreading on the internet. Only by helping Suyin, she could help Zeng.

And the most valid questions she asked on her channel was, ‘Why Suyin was releasing shreds of evidences on the internet instead of coming out herself? Are you even sure it’s her doing all that?’

‘Why nobody from Suyin’s family has come out against Wang family?’

‘Why Suyin’s assistant had not passed a comment on the matter?’

‘Dr. Wang Shi flea from the country, and left his parents behind? With powers like Feng Jianyu, Feng Junjie, the entire military, Xiu Mei, and many other influential people available at his beck and call, do you think Wang Shi even had to do that?’

‘If Wang Shi is really behind Suyin’s baby’s death, I’d say he is a fool to keep her alive till date.’

‘Are you sure someone else is not playing a game to kill two birds with a stone?’

…..

It worked! The task which had become a nightmare for Junjie, keeping an entire team of over four hundred people awake for nights, was easily taken care of by Fei Hong.

People actually started asking questions away from the rumors on the Internet.
