Chapter 162 - Blackmail

She had her alarm set at 6 am but it is already past seven but her alarm didn't help her to wake up. 

She is not yet aware of the storm brewing towards her direction now. 

*Linda* only woke up when her mobile started to ring continuously. 

"V, it's your mobile love" her fiancé,  Yang Jingyu spoke in his sleepy tone nuzzling into her neck. 

*Linda* groaned, pulling her blanket over her head. She involuntarily placed her head on his chest and snuggled closer. 

She couldn't help but smile in her sleep. It's been ages she got cherished by someone like this. Now, she could die without regrets. 

At last, she found a happy family for herself. 

Meanwhile, Yang Jingyu chuckled and peeked at her mobile while caressing her bare back.. 

"It's a private number, Hon. I think it's your dad" he told her and frowned confusingly. 

"V, Didn't you inform him that you will be staying in my place for a night" Yang Jingyu asked, pulling the blanket down by little. 

She is after all the president's mysterious daughter. Getting disappeared all in sudden will turn the country upside down. 

However, she didn't answer him. As soon as she heard that it's a private number, all her sleep and grogginess flew out of the window. 

It is only when she realized the threat that might engulf them. She was about to discuss the threat with her 'team', but her fiancé kept her busy with their romance and sweet date. 

Her attentive and vigilant nature just went off from her mind, replacing them with essence of being loved and cherished. 

"Uhmm…..I will take the call right now, Yu. It must be something important. Office work, I guess. And, I told dad that I will be staying with you for this whole week" *Linda* said, as she took her mobile from him leaned against headboard before wearing her bathrobe. 

"Dad, actually wanted me to spend more time with you. He wouldn't even  mind if  moving in with you" she winked, making him laugh and hold her in his embrace. 

As the call got cut, she still has some time to spend with him before going out on her personal mission. 

"Hon, should you really work in Ye corps? I don't like that boss of yours. William Ye is a cunning and greedy man" Yang Jingyu told. 

As someone who is very influential in country as a politician, he is aware of the darkest sides some of the important people of country. 

*Linda* smiled. 

'I know how he is. But, to get what I want he is the easiest way to approach' she thought. 

"I am not that easy to fall for his traps, Yu. Your V changed after the suicide attempt" *Linda* told. 

The suicide she is referring to is when she reincarnated. 

Yang Jingyu smiled and placed a kiss on back of her hand. 

"I fell in love with  Veronica after the suicide. It's still a wonder how a single incident can change the personality" he chuckled. 

He is totally oblivious of the fact that it is not the personality that changed, but, the person itself. 

"I had enough of your silver tongue, Mr. Senator. Now, go and prepare some food for us to eat" *Linda* told

"How about you have me as your food and I will have you as my dessert." He asked mischievously, but stood up from bed in order to go to washroom to fresh up. 

*Linda* smiled and then she saw her mobile ringing again. 

It's a private number like before. 

As soon as she noticed it, her eyes turned cold and her merry face morphed into serious and cold, emitting dangerous aura.

But, the news she got made her more angry. 

…..

Meanwhile, Biyu who just finished eating, went upstairs to their room. 

She wanted to sleep for some time and then read the script of her new drama till Jasper come back. 

But, a single beep from her mobile totally ruined her schedule. It made her mind go frenzy with rage and fear. 

The video she received after the call is the reason for this state of hers. 

Ye Mei is tied up to an iron chair and the corners of her lips has a blood dripping from it, slowly yet painfully. 

Her eyes were bloodshot because of her continuous crying. And, not to mention but her right cheek is swelled up, showing how badly she has been clouted. 

But, the most deadliest thing that made Biyu afraid is the deep cut embedding into her fair wrist, cutting right through her ulnar artery. 

The blood is dripping with steady state onto the bloody floor and Ye Mei is breathing heavily. 

She was even deprived of oxygen by now. The room in which she is tied up, it is an underground room with no source of light or air. 

The oxygen cylinder placed in the corner is the only source, but alas, it is almost in verge of diffusing out. 

In few hours or worst, in handful of minutes, Ye Mei will die. 

Biyu's arms trembled with fear and her eyes stung with scorching hot tears looking at her friend for whose plight she is the main reason. 

And, as soon as the video ended, she got a call from the unknown number that is directly connected from satellite to hers. 

No chance of tracking too!!! 

Awesome!!! 

With the same trembling hands, Biyu answered the call. 

"If you want your friend alive and safe, we recommend you to bring us the Atlan's pocket watch along with the parcel you stole from us" an electrical voice ordered. 

"You have one hour time Linda Udinov. You know the place. The same place where we miserably failed to get you killed" he ended with a sneer which was followed by a shrill cry from Ye Mei.

Biyu slumped down on to the sofa and she couldn't comprehend what to do. The mobile in her hands, slipped past through her fingers and has soon hit the hard marble of the floor, creating a huge crack on the expensive phone. 

But she wasn't in a situation to think of anything else right now. Her mind is revolving around the pros and cons of deceiving that person's orders. 

At last, Biyu could not find any other methods to save Ye Mei but to obey the kidnapper. 

Biyu sighed and massaged her temples. 

She can't tell others because, she knew that she is under this 'enemies' watch. And, she can't risk to send others to the mountain region where Linda was murdered. 

Those people will get to know and they will surely kill Ye Mei. 

Moreover, she don't have enough time to make a plan and implement it to have a win - win situation. 

She could only hope that Jasper will find out that she opened the locker and then track her through her chain or her mini hair tracker placed in her head. 

She is aware that he had his people surrounding the subway station to make sure no one suspicious will be present to harm her or try to attack her when she will go to open it. 

However she can't let them find her. Biyu couldn't think of anything but expect that locker had these items which those kidnappers asked. 

The words she heard in the call reverberated in her mind over and over. 

Atlan's watch and parcel!!

But, how did this people found out that the locker had these things in it??

Are someone from their own  circle are spying??

Or, could it be Linda herself is doing this?? 

This can't be a mere coincidence right!! Jasper, she and their friends just found out about locker and it's code the previous night itself and she is already getting threatening calls from some unknown person!!

But, whatever it is, her first priority for now is Ye Mei. 

Coming into a firm decision, Biyu decided to sneak out and go to subway station to take the parcel and watch from the locker. 

By the time she does it, Jasper's people will find it and follow her. This will not be good for Ye Mei. 

She wanted Jasper to find it little late so that at least Ye Mei will be safe before Jasper comes to rescue. 

With a suitable plan made up in her mind, Biyu skillfully sneaked out of the Villa. Racheal is downstairs, probably in control room of the house, watching the live footage. 

As Biyu told that she will go for sleep, Racheal doesn't want to disturb her, but at the same time she couldn't sit useless. 

So, as predicted, Racheal is in control room making sure that her lady boss will not sneak out. 

But who is Biyu?? 

She is good at hacking and a pro in sneaking out. So, it didn't take her much effort to leave the villa without getting noticing. 

She didn't take any of her cars but hailed a cab and quickly reached the subway station where locker is there. 

As Biyu is in her best disguise, none of Jasper's men recognized her.
