Chapter 109 - Shufen! Is that really you?
Feng Shufen was still in his office when suddenly his phone on the desk silently vibrated, letting him know about the incoming call. His brows furrowed when he got a look of the caller id that was calling him.
Without waiting for another second, he pulled his phone in his hand and slid the icon to answer the call. "Hello! Young Master, sorry for disturbing your work time. But I am calling you to report something about Ms Li Xue", it was Sister Margaret on the other side of the call.
"Is she fine?" he plainly asked. His pen halting on the paper and his voice coming out a little concerned and cold.
"That ... President Feng, I am not sure of", the woman said, getting a little nervous with her own words. "Earlier, when I went to deliver the chicken noodle soup to her, she didn\'t answer the door. I thought that she might be sleeping. But when I was on my way back, I heard some neighbours saying that today some people visited her and their conversation did not sound any good. They even said …", Sister Margaret paused, not knowing whether to say her next words or not.
Up until this moment, Feng Shufen\'s face has already turned as black as the bottom of the pot. His jaws were clenched tight, revealing its sharpness to the fullest. The way he has gripped his phone has already turned his knuckles white. Fury was something that can only be felt around him. "What more did they say?" he asked, his voice coming out colder than ice.
Though Sister Margaret was not present in front of him, hearing his fearsome words like this she could not control herself from trembling. Her voice become a little heavy as she continued, "Young master, I heard them saying that they even slapped Ms Li Xue to the extent that she spitted out a mouthful of blood"
Those words were enough to unleash the Devil inside him. No other words or details were needed. Disconnecting the call, he stood up, grabbed his coat and directly made his way outside;?least caring about the important files he had left open behind. "Du Fan, get the car ready", he ordered on the call and swiftly took his steps outside.
"President Feng? President Feng, the West Coastal Resorts people are here for the meeti….", Gao Fan called from behind when he saw his boss walking away in hurried steps like he was on the mission to save the collapsing world. But before even he could complete his words, the man had walked away with his shadow.
In no time, the black Maybach was dashing through the jams of the road, living its speed features for real. While Du Fan was making his way through the crowds, the man sitting at the back was busy making continuous calls on a certain number.
His every try rang on the other side but none were answered giving a rise to his concern as well as rage. But he still did not lose his patience, he continued being persistent even though his trials never brought any hints of success.
"Young Master, is there anything wrong with Ms Li Xue. I thought that she would be happy since earlier I have seen her family visiting her", the driver informed, looking at the horrific anxiousness of the man.
Feng Shufen does not need any details to know the story that would have taken place before. Family! He got the information about them too and knew what type of human trash they were!? His fists clenched tight just by the thoughts of the audacious sins those peoples have committed today.
"Du Fan, increase the speed. Break the signals, if you want but I need to get there as soon as possible", he enjoined, suppressing the rage inside for the time being and again dialled the same number, hoping the answer from the call.
On the other side in house number 38, Little Carnation;
Li Xue was struggling to maintain her consciousness. Though this type of panic attack was nothing new to her but it has come back after a really long time now. It always happened to her especially when she remembers the death of her sister, Yenay.
She could feel her heart still pounding in pain inside. Her whole body was drenched in a cold sweat, while she was trying her best to find her medicines. She has especially bought a few dosages of her medicines when returned back to the city, knowing that sooner or later there will be a day when she has to face this. But now she was just not able to remember where she has kept them.
Her vision was still feeling blurry, making it harder for her. With every second step, she would stumble but then again come with the hope to find her medicines. It was a relief that her daughter was not with her or else it would have really become tough for her to manage things.
She was just holding a string of consciousness when suddenly she found the backlight of her phone on. Trying to get it in her hand, she bent to pick it up; but in the process she lost her footing again, making her fall hard on the ground. She was already in the semi-state of deliriousness, not understanding or knowing her actions.
Li Xue reached her phone with little difficulty, her one hand grasping her chest hard to reduce some pain while her mind trying hard to not lose her consciousness. She can\'t remain like this; she has to get better before the return of her Li Wei.
Without taking any notice of the caller id that was ringing her up, she picked the call. "Hello?" she greeted lightly, her voice stating her condition all clearly. Her eyes closed with exhaustion as her heavy breaths still did not leave her.
"Li Xue?" the man said. His voice giving off the ease his heartfelt after hearing her voice.
The woman pulled her phone a little away from her ears to glance if she was getting the person on the other side right or was she hallucinating because of her condition? When founding his familiar contact name on the display screen, she felt a comfortability surfacing her heart; easing her slightly from the pain, like the person on the other side was no other but her saviour.
"Shufen! Is that really you?" she asked, without understanding her own words.
