Chapter 401 - Kill her

[It's easy to be influenced and make quick judgments about someone when you're in search of something desperately. But it's more difficult to make the correct decision and understand when you're in such a vulnerable state.

It would require your patience, presence of mind and a lot of faith to believe that good hearts sometimes choose the worst methods. You'd be amazed at the pain and tears that might be hidden behind that smile.

Through the wrong decision, you'll destroy everything and regret it later.

Through the right decision, you'll become the light in the darkness and create a happy world for yourself.

I take you as a wise woman who made the right decision by uniting with Feng Jianyu, becoming his beloved wife. I expect you to take another right decision.

A loyal servant.]

After reading, Feng Jianyu passed the phone to Wang Shi to let him read it. He was pondering about the hidden meaning with a deep frown on his face when Xiu Mei placed her cold hands on his warm ones. "Can you guess who the sender is?"

She didn't dare to take the mail lightly as it was full of hidden meanings. Above that, the sender seemed to know a lot of things about her and Jianyu's past and present. She can practically count the number of people on fingertips who're aware of her and Jianyu's marriage.

Soon after she received the mail, the first thing she did was to track the sender. Contrary to her expectation, the sender didn't try to hide anything about his identity as if he wanted her to track back to him.

"Assistant Jun"                                                                                                                         

"Assistant Jun"

Feng Jianyu and Wang Shi said simultaneously. Xiu Mei smiled; judging their high IQ it was no surprise that they were able to guess it correctly.

"Right! Initially, I was shocked finding that it was Assistant Jun and cross-checked it multiple times. But the results didn't change."

Feng Jianyu stood up all of sudden and walked by the window. With his one hand tucked in the pocket while the other resting at window sill he pondered audibly, "Assistant Jun is by dad's side since we were kids, it's obvious of him to know everything. Last time when I had a verbal dispute with dad, he was standing outside the door and must have heard everything. Did you receive the mail after that?"

"Yes!" She confirmed but asked something that came in her mind randomly, "Jianyu… You said assistant Jun was by your dad's side since you were kids. But the assistant whom I saw in Country Y was different. Who was he?"

She remembered it correctly, she met Feng Dingxiong twice during her stay in Country Y but it was not Assistant Jun.

"Although dad prefers Assistant Jun's company, he has many other assistants. May be Jun was busy during that time so someone else accompanied dad. That's not important, Mei." Feng Jianyu brushed the thought and Xiu Mei didn't ponder about it much.

Feng Jianyu looked at the sunset as the orange hue shrouded, making everything look gloomy. Why the sunrise gives a lively feel, happiness, a new beginning but sunset gives a feeling of melancholy and darkness?

Assistant Jun's message that contained many hidden messages had hit many chords inside Feng Jianyu's heart. The storm inside his heart was yet to calm down when something else came up, making him feel uneasy.

What pain was Assistant Jun talking about? What was it that his father was trying to hide? What worst methods was Assistant Jun pointing at? Was his father a victim, too, just like Xiu Mei? In the choice to become a good brother does he failed as a son?

"I understood this! But my question is still the same! How Aunty Ning's mental problem is connected to the fire in Building Z. How these polar opposite things are correlated?" Wang Shi waved his hand in front of Xiu Mei's face whose gaze was stuck at Feng Jinayu.

"Huh? Pardon me." She asked, coming back to reality.

A moment ago, her mind was occupied with Jianyu. Although his back was facing her, how can she not understand the purpose of him leaving her side and standing near the window in complete isolation?

It's rare for a man like Jianyu to let their emotions out.

It was only now, that he had started showing his vulnerable side to her.

She clenched her fist in determination.

One week! Within one week she'll get him out of this predicament and not let him suffer a second longer!

Previously, she didn't have any lead in Feng Dingxiong being mysterious and all. But now she has two big clues, one assistant Jun's mail and the other was the signal she had received when being near the dead body.

Wang Shi rubbed his forehead and repeated the question, taking a brief glance at Feng Jianyu.

She replied, "There's a very important connection."

"What?"

"In country B, I once went to Mr. Feng's suit to talk about mine and Jianyu's relationship. I don't want to become the reason for discord between father and son. However, the moment I reached the door, Mrs. Feng was shouting, breaking things while Mr. Feng was trying to coax her carefully."

Her words caught Feng Jianyu's attention and he returned back to her, "Did you hear something?"

She sighed, "Unfortunately just some gibberish words, go away, order, kill her….. Whereas Mr. Feng was just coaxing his wife by saying, 'please no'….. I tried to lean closer to get a clear picture but someone pushed the door. Due to soundproofing I could not hear anything and returned back."

One look at Feng Jianyu's expression and she knew what he was thinking, "Don't reach conclusion just by those three words. 'KILL HER' DOES NOT MEAN THAT SHE MEANT IT TO BE ME.  Initially, I didn't want to tell you about it, but keeping things from you is not good."

"Other than you who else can it be?" Feng Jianyu's voice came low and heavy. A strange deadly silence filled the air.

"It can be anyone. Stop pointing at me always. Maybe she was pointing at a spider or fly."

"…"

"…."

"…."

"Listen to the important point that I'm yet to tell." She was so pissed that she slammed her fist on the armrest. "When I was standing outside the room, my watch caught a signal, depicting that a powerful satellite device was within ten meters of range. As the entire floor was booked for Mr. Feng and no other person was available in the corridor, it concluded that the signal was coming from the Presidential suit.

However, when Mr. Feng met us in the penthouse, my watch didn't catch any signal this concludes it to be Mrs. Feng."

She glanced at everyone's faces before adding, "Nevertheless, the twist in the story is that I received the same signal at the same frequency when I and Hong approached the dead man. Now you understand what caused the machine to explode?" Wang Shi was tongue-tied when she c.o.c.ked her head at him in question.

"How can it be true? The man was n.a.k.e.d, covered in white cloth when he was put inside the machine. Why didn't doctors found anything on him while doing autopsy?..." His brows furrowed, "Hold on! You asked me that weird question about carrots….. Does that mean whatever this thing was, it was hidden inside the man's body. Right?" Instead of waiting for answer Wang Shi answered his own question and Xiu Mei shook her head.
