Ficool

Chapter 3 - A death wish

A few weeks after the fight, Lao Zhan was released from the hospital. He gave an order for me to be kidnapped and that they are not allowed to rest until I am delivered. They followed me for days to find a weakness to use to their advantage. I noticed strange people everywhere, and it felt like someone was always watching me, even when I tried to be careful. Every step I took, I looked around, but they were always hiding well.

One day, I decided to go out. I went to a small restaurant, one that smelled really good with food and had warm light inside. I sat down and tried to eat quietly, but I didn't know that they bribed the waiter to put a drug in my food. After a while, when I left the restaurant and walked to the parking lot, the drug started to work. My head felt heavy, my vision blurred, and the world tilted. My legs felt like jelly, and I could not stand. I tried to scream, but my voice was weak. Slowly, I fainted.

When I woke up, I was in a dark basement. The air smelled damp and cold, and the floor was hard. I touched it with my hands and tried to understand what happened. My heart was beating fast, and my head still hurt. I looked around and saw shadows moving in the corners. I did not know what to do.

Then Lao Zhan came in, laughing loudly.

"Ha ha ha ha," he said.

"I should have known it was you," I said with a creepy smile on my face. "I mean no one is dummy enough to mess with me as you are."

"You know if I were you, I would wipe that smile off my face. I mean who knows? I might end up dead the next second," he spoke in an angry tone.

"It seems like the beating wasn't enough to fix that broken brain of yours," I said with an annoying smirk on my face.

"You b***h, let's see if you..."

Suddenly, the phone rang: "Drrrrng! Drrrrng! Drrrrng!"

"This better be very important," he said with an annoyed tone.

"Sir, there has been a break at the warehouse, and also a fire broke down," his subordinate reported, his voice shaking.

"What! Who is the culprit? Was the damage bad?" Lao Zhan shouted with full anger.

"Yes sir, the culprit was sent by the Hexagonal gang, and as for the damage, the entire warehouse is down," the subordinate answered, his voice breaking.

"Damn Hexagonal gang! Manage the situation. I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

He hung up and said, "If she dares to move, kill her." Then he left the basement.

When he arrived at the warehouse, everything was only ashes. His subordinates never saw him scared before. This warehouse was one of the most valuable warehouses of the Dracula Empire in Beijing. The only way to make up for the loss was with his head. His eyes widened, and his hands shook a little. He could not believe what he saw.

While Lao Zhan was busy fearing for his life, Wen Qin was on her way to his house. When she arrived, she noticed that the guards were acting strange. Whenever she moved, they moved too, following her everywhere.

"I had enough of this. Are you going to tell me who your boss got you to kidnap, or do I have to force it out of you?" she said, pretending to be calm but her voice was sharp.

They took her to the basement. There she found me sitting on the guards, who were beaten to a pulp.

"Ling Ling, what are you doing here?" she asked in shock.

"Mmmmm, Lemme see what I'm doing. Oh! that's right," I said in an angry tone. "That stupid boss of theirs had them drug me and lock me in the basement to torture me before they kill me, which is impossible."

Just by the way I said it, Wen Qin knew that Lao Zhan was in danger. If she did not calm me down, it would not end by just killing him.

A few minutes later, Lao Zhan walked in with his PA. He was not focusing on who was in the living room. But as they got close to the study room, he thought he saw two people sitting there. He made a U-turn to check if there were people or his mind was playing games with him. He was shocked to see such a surprise.

His mom was feeding me his favorite cake while watching some series in his house. For a moment, he wanted to yell at them, but he held himself. His heart beat fast, and his mind was confused.

Something came to his mind, and he was about to sneak away before hell broke loose. But Wen Qin caught him.

"And where the hell do you think you are going? Get your ass here!" she said angrily.

"Awww! Mom, you are here. I didn't see you there. And may I know who the beautiful lady is you are sitting with?" he said, pretending not to know.

"Too late, drop the act before I drop the shoe on your handsome face," she said, annoyed.

Lao Zhan went to sit close to his mom, thinking if he acted pity, he would be forgiven. But no, not this time. Wen Qin was not letting him off. She pulled him by the ear before he could try to explain.

"I let my eyes off you just for a second, and you kidnap your baby sister's friend? Are you out of your mind? How can you put such an innocent good girl through all of that? Are you even my child? Because I don't believe that my cute baby boy would do such thing," she said with a disappointed face.

"Ummm! Aunt, I should get going. I left so much work undone, so please excuse me," I said as I got up and left for her house.

I arrived home and sat down when Xiao Zha told me that my warehouse was robbed and burned down. At first, I was very angry, but when I was told the name of the person who had the warehouse under his care, a creepy smile came on my face. Xiao Zha got scared seeing that smile.
