CHAPTER 803

“Hands in the air!” someone shouted from somewhere nearby.

The leader’s heart skipped a beat when he heard those words. He knew immediately what had happened.

Someone must have spotted them sneaking into the compound.

He quickly glanced around, trying to find the source of the voice when the owner called out again.

“Try anything funny and your head would be next.”

His gaze fell upon the others, whose hand were already up in surrender. Quickly, he followed suit, raising both hands in the air.

“Don’t move or I’ll shoot you all right here,” came another shout, sending chills running down their spine.

The leader looked at his men, silently signalling everyone to behave and obey.

“Good,” said the person holding the gun. “Now turn yourselves over slowly and look down.”

The men did as instructed until they were lined up against each other.

“Now,” a different voice rang out drawing closet to them as the owner stepped forward. “Lift your heads.”

The men lifted their heads slightly, revealing their faces. The leader recognized one of them instantly and froze.

A pleased smile crept up his face at the fear in the eyes of the enemy’s leader. “Good. I like people who do their research. You never expected this right, Rui Song?”

“C-Chairman Y-Ye.”

“What is going on here?” asked one of the men, surprised by this development.

“Silence!”

His eyes scanned everyone of them before resting back on Rui Song.

“Why didn’t you kill us? We’re not betraying anyone.”

Ye Sheng’s lips pulled back revealing a knowing smile. “I’m sorry about that. But it was necessary for me to get close enough so I could identify you guys without any trouble.”

A dangerous glint appeared in Ye Sheng’s eye as he continued speaking.

“I may no longer be the Chairman of Dream Star Corporation but my company is my baby and my legacy. Who gave you lots the audacity to trespass?”

“Do what you must, we have nothing to say to you,” Rui Song stated sharply.

“You are working with Chairman Zhang, aren’t you?” Ye Sheng blurted out suddenly, his sharp eyes studying everyone present.

Rui Song swallowed hard when he realized how much danger they were all in.

21:55

He knew if they refused to cooperate with him then they would all die. And even though they had Rui Song remained silent and avoided his gaze.

“You know personally what it means when I make one speak. Now answer, this is your first and last chance, who sent you to burn down Dream Star Corporation’s Pharmaceuticals?”

Rui Song swallowed hard when he realized how much danger they were all in.

He knew if they refused to cooperate with him then they would all die. And even though they had been betrayed by someone within their own ranks, there wasn’t anything they could do now except play along.

“We don’t work for anyone else besides ourselves,” Rui Song replied truthfully. He knew they couldn’t afford to lie since they were surrounded by enemies.

“So you want me to believe that you all have a vendetta against my company huh?”

Ye Sheng turned around to face his men. Immediately all the smile disappeared and his eyes darkened.

“Take them all and torture them. Deliver the dead one to Chairman Zhang’s house. Particularly his daughter’s room and send the picture to him.”

“Yes boss.”

“No one messes with my son or my company and go scot free.”

The next morning, Andromeda and Liu Xueyi went to the Ye family’s restaurant in the park for breakfast. To their surprise, they found the familiar faces from the Halloween party the previous night.

“Hey, look who chose to have breakfast,” Yin Lifen pointed out suddenly.

Everyone’s gaze followed her line of sight to rest on Liu Xueyi and Andromeda.

Li Jing waved at them, inviting them to join their table. Andromeda, trying to hide her nervousness, forced a calm smile at them but Liu Xueyi could see through her façade and knew he had to reassure her.

Before she could reach the table, Liu Xueyi grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

Startled, Andromeda gazed up at him in surprise and was about to complain when he cut in quickly and told her to take a breath and calm down.

Liu Xueyi reminded her that she was a star too and that being with him made her special.

Encouraged by his words, Andromeda nodded and wore her best genuine smile. They walked over to the others, facing their curious gazes with newfound confidence.

“Hey guys, good morning,” Liu Xueyi greeted first, followed by Andromeda.

“Morning,” everyone chorused, while some waved as they ate.

“I was wondering if you will not be taking our offer,” Li Jing stated and squinted suspiciously at both of them.

“Of course, we were coming over,” Andromeda corrected quickly.

“Hello, Xueyi.”

“Hmm, first name basis,” Ye Cheng mentioned, hinting at the newfound closeness between them as he leaned forward and rested his chin on Li Jing’s shoulder.

“Do not tell me someone is jealous already?” Li Jing pointed out and she too leaned back, sending her body into his waiting arms.

All the while Andromeda’s eyes remained fixated on them. She was shocked at how shamelessly they flaunted their love to the others.

This was mainly due to the fact that Liu Xueyi loved doing the same.

“You think only you two are love birds enough?” Fong Wei Ling asked and gestured towards two empty seats opposite him. “Please sit.”

“Thank you,” Liu Xueyi appreciated. Once seated, he cast a side glance at the couple who till now remained lost in each other, ignoring all of them completely.

“It is not a shock. I prefer when couples go out this way without holding back,” Liu Xueyi explained.

“Meaning you are a PDA person,” Yin Lifen stated and waited for proper clarification.

“Yes.”

“And what of Andromeda here?”

“Fen-Fen,” Jia Huang shot her a warning glance.

He knew she could be all going, to the point of intruding on someone’s privacy and after Andromeda behaved the previous day, he did not want a repetition.

“It is okay, Aiden,” Andromeda quickly informed him before he chided Yin Lifen.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. In fact, I love it when Xueyi does it.”

“I see. Great then. I bet you and Li Jing would become one hell of friends.”

“Hey, are you planning on cutting me off?” Yin Lifen interjected and smacked him on the arm.

“Ouch!”

Before long everyone got engrossed in the conversations being shared and got to know each other more.

By the time they were done with breakfast, Liu Xueyi had to cancel some plans Ye Cheng made that evening and invited them.

“Sure, no worries. There is always some other time.”

“We’ll come along too,” Ye Cheng added.

Liu Xueyi nodded but looked at Andromeda who seemed reluctant about leaving. He smiled reassuringly at her as if telling her everything would be fine.

“Okay, let us get ready then,” Liu Xueyi said as he stood up from his seat.

“Wait! Where do we meet? We don’t have your number or address,” Fong Wei Ling asked suddenly.

“Way ahead of you, we girls exchanged digits,” Li Jing stated witha proud smile.

“Yup and we also sent your numbers to Andromeda to give Liu Xueyi,” Yin Lifen added.

“And I saved them for him.”

All the guys present glanced at each other and then let out a shocking laughter while shaking their heads. “Ladies.”

“Okay, thanks,” Ye Cheng appreciated.

“See you later guys,” Liu Xueyi waved goodbye to everyone before turning around to face Andromeda They left the restaurant together and walked hand in hand until they reached their destination where again. “Let’s go.”

they found a car waiting for them.
