Chapter 716 – Move Back To Your Brother’s Side.
The expression of cruelty on Pan Hong didn't subside. "You are asking if you have done something wrong? Heh! None of you are of any use. It feels like all these years I am just training some useless shit of guys who have no brains to use". He bawled out, throwing an empty bottle of wine on the floor in disappointment.
The man who had been shot on his leg was still in agony, but that agony had less impact than the confusion that he was getting in his brain due to his master's words. "But Boss, we have done as you have asked us to. We have …" He tried to explain but his words got stuck in his throat when saw a threatening glare coming his way.
"You have just done as I have asked you to without putting any of your brains. And any work turns into a bullsh*t if you don't put the right brains into it. But the problem is not yours. It has been me who has been carrying all the junk around." Pan Hong reproached again. "You have succeeded in the accident of the man but we have failed in keeping away the secrets from him. Do you think after him already getting so close to the thing, we have succeeded?"
The head of the man at once dropped down in regret. "We have tried our best to stop him, Boss. But every time he was a step ahead of us. And we were so focused on him that we didn't get the air when that old man called the other doctor from five years back."
"Step ahead of you guys? What made you think that he would be an easy target for you guys to tackle? He was not any simple kind for you to think that. Did you all forget that he was Qi Shuai, whose low-key, easy-going attitude is just a façade to make people put their guards down around him?" Pan Hong said, gritting his teeth, knowing well that it was already late to regret now.
When had enough regrets, he gestured to a man at the corner. "Take him for treatment first. We have already taken a loss, another loss of asset will not be any better".
The other man nodded, before walking ahead to take the man on the floor away.
"Boss, though our people have made a mistake in the task, we still have an opportunity to rectify. I have heard Qi Shuai is still in the hospital and has not woken up. His condition is critical and the chance of his survival is less. If he dies in this situation, we will …" One of the most loyal men from the side suggested but before he could complete his words, Pan Hong waved his hand in disapproval.
"That's not so easy, Shaoqing. He is not a simple guy whom we can target like that. We weren't able to do anything when he was alone. Now that he will be surrounded by so many Feng people, there will be no hope." Pan Hong said, knowing the depths of the risk waters well. "Since we have already done something this big, it will only be better if we keep low key for sometime. We will think of something later".
He said as he tiredly leaned on his chair with eyes closed. Disappointment from failure written all clearly on his features.
"Boss, you look tired. Take rest and don't stress about other things. I will carefully handle them for you" The man said, before bending to clear the mess of shards on the floor and then getting up to leave. But just when he was about to step out of the room, he was halted with a call.
"Jing Shaoqing!" Pan Hong called, suddenly opening his eyes to stare at the boy who has always been by his side since small. "I know you care for me more than yourself. But you better not make any reckless moves now. We will handle the things later when the story dies down a little".
The young man didn't give any verbal reply, but gave a nod of acceptance. But even with that nod, Pan Hong was not satisfied. The concern was written over his face as if he was sure that boy will simply not listen to him.
"Jing Shaoqing, I think I have trained you well and it's an appropriate time for you to move to your brother. He will take better care of you." He said. His voice, coming out slightly rueful. He has always treated the boy no less than his own son in the world where he had no one and now sending him away was a painful decision for him. But if that was for his betterment, he wouldn' hesitate.
"If that's your order, boss, I cannot disobey". The young man said, without giving much expression before leaving the room at once.

On the other side, back in hospital,
Li Xue was quite amused to hear Feng Yi Lan. She wanted to laugh but at the same time, she knew her laughter would not serve the purpose she was intending at the moment. So, keeping her laughter suppressed, she asked in slight disbelief, "So , Yi Lan, you are telling me that Director Qi was scared of needles and since you wanted to laugh at him, same as he did at you, you took his responsibility as a guardian. And he gave it to you without any hesitation. Just like that?"
Feng Yi Lan nodded with obviousness, making Li Xue facepalm herself.
"And even after that Yi Lan, you were still saying that he never showed his love for you. Like really? What else were you asking when he willingly gave all rights to you? Was that not enough for you to understand how much he actually loved you".
Li Xue could not believe how her friend could be this dumbhead to not understand such simple things. But could she really blame her, when she, herself, was the same or even worse than her in the past?
"Li Xue, it was just a childish play. What are you expecting me to draw from it?" Yi Lan asked, still being stubborn of her thoughts.
Seeing her like that, Li Xue could only shake her head. "Yi Lan, you …" She was about to say something when suddenly a sharp voice of something dropping came from the room, halting everyone's thoughts.
Before they could register what was happening, a team of doctors rushed inside the room without giving any answer to the people outside.
