Chapter 601 - Awake: Next Action

*************

CHAPTER 601

"Hello, yes, Wei Ling, we are almost there."

"Alright because the show is about to begin big time."

"I know, just hold on a bit and wait for me."

"Yeah, I would but bloody hurry man. I do not have patience when it comes to making souls such as these pay for what they did wrong to me or my family."

"I know. Be careful though, we do not want too many broken bones," Ye Cheng warned.

"Trust me, I am being careful."

"Alright thanks, Fong."

"No need."

Beep!

"He wants us to hurry," Y Wang Lei stated rather than ask.

"Umm. He does."

"I see. He is eager you know."

"Yes, just like you were when you found out what happened. I think my friends are becoming more loving of my wife than I, hahaha…"

"Even in this situation, you still have time to joke. You are a CEO, not a comedian," Yi Wang Lei warned.

"I know. You were too serious just now," he lied.

"Me? Me or you?"

RING!

Both of them stopped talking and looked at Ye Cheng's phone before he picked it up and answered him.

"Hello?"

"Michael."

"Mum. What is it? Is anything the matter?"

"Umm not really just that, your wife is up. She has woken up."

"What?"

"Yes. She asked after you though."

"And what did you tell her?"

"The truth," Li An answered, letting out a soft sigh alongside.

"Why?"

"She is worried but I guess he would be okay. All I can say is be safe for her."

"Noted. I would be back soon before she realizes."

"Alright."

Beep!

He dropped his phone on the chair, his gaze directed straight at the seat in front while several thoughts ran through his mind.

"She is awake, isn't she?"

"Yes."

"And?"

"Nothing much. We should hurry. I want to get back to her before she misses me too much."

"Okay." Turning his gaze forward, Yi Wang Lei leaned out of his seat a bit and touched the driver's shoulder. "Step on it. No time."

"Yes sir."

Within a few minutes, they already arrived at the house Fong Wei Ling asked them to get to and got to where he was.

"Hey, it took you guys long enough."

"It's better than never, you know," Yi Wang Lei voiced out from behind Ye Cheng.

"Wang Lei my guy. It has been what? I missed you all."

"Same here. The feeling is mutual," Yi Wang Lei responded with a  tight-lipped smile.

All the while Ye Cheng said nothing, his gaze was fixated on the souls who had hurt his wife in the first place.

"Ye Cheng." 

No answer.

"Cheng," Fong Wei Ling called out again.

"Hmm."

"I see you are more interested in them than anything else. Good then, let us begin. This way."

He turned around and led them to where the men were.

The first set of four men that actually committed the crime, and to his right was the other man who the job was sent through and the last man to their left, was the big boss in this scheme.

"Ye Cheng!"

"You still have the mouth to talk. I suggest you save some energy," Fong Wei Ling informed him.

They were all tied to their chair without any means of escape and various bloodstains at different parts of their body.

Indeed Fong Wei Ling did a good job in getting the information out of them, one who Ye Cheng was not sad about one bit.

"What do you want from us now?"

At the same time, Fong Wei Ling and Yi Wang lei turned their gaze to look at Ye Cheng. It was as though the man just asked a question that burned within their hearts.

What was he going to do now that he had found out who really was the mastermind behind the whole operation?

"Who would have thought you would sell out your master so easily. I hope you got it all on tape?"

"Most definitely."

"I would make you pay for this, Ye Cheng. If any harm comes to her, you would pay," Hu Donghai cursed in anger.

"I think leaving your mouth open was a big mistake," Fong Wei Ling snapped at him. "Men, tape his mouth. No more of his nonsense."

"Yes, boss."

Following his orders, two men rushed up to where Hu Donghai was and taped his as they were directed.

After all the struggling he put up, all that remained for him to say were muffled sounds that made no sense.

"So what are you really going to do," Yi Wang Lei raised the question again. In as much as he wanted Ye Cheng to take his time, they were all eager to see what the outcome would be from his thoughts.

Would he spare her as he did before for old time sake or would he just issue her a warning and let the matter slide or better still would he do that which was required and hurt her much?

In all, they really had to stop guessing at some point for him to tell them the real deal.

"Nothing."

"What?" Both Yi Wang lei and Fong Wei Ling yelled out in unison.

"Ye Cheng, what do you mean by that? Can you recall what you earlier said? You have been released. The lion has been touched. What happened to all those words of earlier?"

A sinister smile graced his lips just being reminded of all the things he really said he would do.

"I would not be doing anything."

Feeling the rage course through him, Fong Wei Ling ignored everything and held his shoulder, turning Ye Cheng to look at him.

"Why? It is sister-in-law he hurt, you know. You are here and not with her because of them, so how can you say you would do nothing? Does she means nothing to you?"

"No, you get me wrong. Li Jing is my world. She means everything to me but I would not be the one doing anything lest I actually forget and kill them all, leaving no one spared."

"So what are you going to do?"

"Give her the same treatment."

"Find me. Cause I am lost right now," Yi Wang Lei requested looking at Ye Cheng and Fong Wei Ling.

"Simple. Make him, Hu Donghai, do all that was done to Li Jing to his precious mistress."

"I see. Makes sense."

"What…"

His eyes bulged out upon realization as to what was said by the three men just now. 

He felt his brain want to explode and wanted to punch them but the way he was tied up, there was nothing much he could do other than struggle on the chair he was tied up, on.

Looking in his direction, Ye Cheng walked up to where he was tied on and cast a cold glance down at him.

For some seconds he allowed him to continue shaking and trying to break free till he found out his efforts were futile.

"Done?"

0_0

GISH!

Not waiting or expecting an answer, he threw a heavy punch in his face, causing him to pass out instantly as his body and the chair toppled over, hitting the ground in a loud thud.

His actions had completely shocked all of them who were expecting him not to lay a hand on any one of the criminals but here he was, taking matters into his hands.

"Tie him up and when he wakes up, he should be on a similar car, still tied and directed straight at you know who."

"Got it. And these guys?"

"These ones…"

Instantly, everyone started becoming chirpy but all the guys could hear were their muffled voices over the tape on their lips.

"You have tortured them well enough but what I want… Make them useful. Use two to give Li Xiu similar punishment since she was in on it."

"And Hao Huizhong?"

"He may not have been mentioned but if Bai Qing mei was involved, then he most definitely must have joined. He gets the same but this time, beat him up and dislocate an arm and a leg."

"Got it." Turning to face his men, Fong Wei Ling nodded at them. "You know what to do. Get it done."

"Yes, boss."

Seeing that everything has been put in place, he turned around and started walking towards the exit and then he stopped suddenly. 

"Oh, leave a message for Chairman Zhang. Next time he would know how to caution his granddaughter and just a reminder to him that I still remember he owes me a debt I must collect."

"Anything for my friend. It would be done. But then I think hitting him where it hurts the most may pain him more."

"And isn't that Bai Qing Mei?" Ye Cheng asked, not so sure of what Fong Wei Ling meant.

"Yes but I think you might want to do more than that. His business, crash a part of it."

"Hmm, not a bad idea. Let us take it away. How about their new pharmaceutical project. The warehouse, burn it. That would be millions if not billions of dollars lost."

"Those fake harmful things he is pumping into the market?" he scoffed a bit then smiled. "Have it done. Any consequences, I would handle it.. It is time to fight back."
