Chapter 401 – I Will Go And Get My Wife Back.
"But Director Qi, that might be a little outrageous, especially without keeping President Feng informed. What if anything goes wrong?" Gao Fan said on the call, with slight lines of worries on his forehead. Of course, there was a need to get worried at the stunt they have pulled. It was the secretary's first time doing something out of his President's orders and he was already feeling the things going wrong.
On the other side of the call, Qi Shuai only clicked his tongue, when heard such negative words from the secretary. But he did never expect any better than this. Getting him to go out of Feng Shufen's command was already a big achievement he has recorded in his book. "Do you have any better idea, Secretary Gao? Or were you waiting for our Sister – in – law to drive to our enemy's den? What if that jerk of trash has harmed her because of some enmity between us? I would not be able to see my friend devastated".
Qi Shuai said quickly converting the negative thoughts into something aspirational. "Furthermore, it's not like we are kidnapping Xiao Xue. We are just making efforts to bring the treasured pearl back to the dragon because it can only remain in its glory when protected by him. Others will just mess her good aesthetics."
"But Director Qi, we have yet not informed President Feng about it. Shouldn't it be better if he knew everything? About your plan, I am still not sure, how it will go? What if it …"
Gao Fan started again, not getting any positive vibes at the situation. Like someone was telling him that soon, doom would be befallen on him. But before he could be able to complete his words, Qi Shuai interjected.
"Aye, on whose plans are you showing your doubts? Even if I am not there, I don't think that can cast any hindrance to my planning. And what's the use of informing your President Feng now? Let Sister – in – law reach him and he would be all happy with our surprise".
But just when Gao Fan was about to give in to the Director's words, a man came panting. His whole body drenched in a cold sweat. "Secretary Gao, Madam has been kidnapped on the way. We fought but the people on our opposite side came all prepared. And due to lack of back-up preparations on our side, we weren't able to combat them especially when they injected Madam with some drug".
And that was all that needed to prove how great Gao Fan's hidden instincts were! The thing he was fearing all this time has happened and now only Heaven knew what worst was coming to them. Even in the rarest thoughts, he did not want to imagine the Devil coming to know all this. But he also knew that things could not remain hidden any longer.
On the call, Qi Shuai has nothing more to say. First the sinful curses, then worst suggestions and unrequired blessings and now this … Does he even need to count how many deaths he would be rewarded now? Even if he gets to hide in the deepest hole, he would not be saved from the Devil's cold wrath that promises nothing but cruel death.
Without saying any word, he disconnected the call. Gao Fan was about to say something but before he could even open his mouth to lament the connection went dead the same as their hopes to live on this Earth. He truly wanted to chide himself for supporting Director Qi but then all this time they only had the good of President Feng in their mind. Could they even complain?
The answer was prominent enough to his heart. Turning his head to the direction of Feng Shufen's office, he took his heavy steps. Even if that meant death, being his secretary, he still needs to inform President Feng of the situation.
Reaching the door, he knocked only to receive the acceptance of entering after some moments. Pushing the door, he got in, finding the man sitting all relaxed on his chair. That calmness in his attitude was putting him in a dilemma. One edge was saying that everything that has come to his knowledge earlier, the gift box, the photograph even being Li Xue in enemy's den was just some of his weirdest hallucinations. While the other edge of his instincts warned him about the storm that was brewing in the calmness.
The more calm and still the water of a stream is; the greater is the danger in it! Realizing the quote again, Gao Fan felt a frigid chill run down his spine making him all stiff at his place and posture.
"P – President Feng", he greeted with some stuttering voice. "There is bad news. Madam has been abducted …"
"Doing something without getting my orders … don't you feel that quite audacious you have become, Gao Fan". Cutting the words of his secretary off in the mid, Shufen said. His lips curled in a dangerous smile while his words promising deadly slow torture. But for some reason, the man did not look angry. Like the news he has come to deliver him fearing was not any unknown story, rather he has known it all along.
"President, I … That, Director Qi, has …" He began hesitantly but did not know any words to keep continuing his thoughts so at the end simply bowed his head down in apology. "I apologize for my wrong courage, President Feng and will accept any punishment after rescuing Madam from the enemy's base. Please allow us to take actions".
Feng Shufen did not say anything for quite some time. He stared out the window at some distance as he said, "There is nothing to take actions for. I would just go and take my wife back." The words were simple but it instantly made the Gao Fan's hair at the back of his neck rise. Of course, the things were not as simple as it sounded in the words.
Before he even knew, the words shot out his throat with slight panic, "President Feng, you cannot go there on your own. We will go and rescue Madam back. Believe us, our today's failure was not because we were incompetent against the enemies but because we were too confident in our skills. I promise it won't repeat and I, myself, will supervise the things".
But till when his words could get complete, Feng Shufen had already stood up to walk on his way.
