CHAPTER 618
"Who did it? Was it Li Jing who ordered it, grandfather? Tell . I feel like tearing her apart."
"No. It was not Li Jing but her husband. Ye Cheng ordered it as a warning."
It felt like heavy thunder was let loose in the sky and it struck out properly.
"You said…" She was still in a daze by the news she just heard and her mind felt like it was in turmoil. "No."
"I am sorry but that is the truth."
"No. I am not sad but… How dare he?"
Her breathing began ragged as her heart thudded wildly in her chest. "He should have just ignored it like always. Now…"
"Exactly. He should have but it seems like he is not having that anymore. He is now butting in and I can no longer take it lying down," Chairman Zhang interjected.
"I…"
"And do not stop , Qing i. He hurt you big ti. I would not sit back and watch that happen to you. It is ti to be the real bad guy. I have hidden for too long and acted codely but after our fast pain relief drugs hit the market, there would be no one who can compare to us."
"Is it ready to hit the market now, grandfather?"
"No. There are still so experints to be done but who cares about that? There are so many people ready to invest in us. I have promised them a good chance in our estate we would build. The would-be partners to the world-changing developnt."
"Really?"
"Yes. You did not think I would sit back and let Ye Sheng's company always be on top right? I have been making the groundwork preparations. I have the prosecutor on our side to cover up our wrongs and make it all go away."
"Hmm. Interesting. This way we would be invincible and we can go away with anything."
'Exactly so even if Ye Cheng wants to take you to jail and stuff, we can make it so that the case never happened. The ruling and top judge in the country is in our favour. We helped him get there so he is indebted to us."
'Wow. This is brilliant, grandfather."
"That is my girl. Now, all you have to do is rest this evening and tomorrow, we would transport you ho under my protection."
"And mother? I fear that seeing I am under your protection, he would go for mother."
"Tsk, do you trust or not? She is already going bunkers with not letting her leave the house. I would get her to my residence as well and have you all be guarded 24/7."
"Okay. I am glad. This is a good way. So what are your plans to make him pay or should…"
Ring! Ring!
Bai Qing i paused in her speech and watched as her grandfather brought out his phone and answered eh call.
"Hello?"
"Chairman sir, please check the news sothing terrible has happened."
0_0
"What!" He stood up from where he sat, his eyes shining wide with shock as fury began to boil inside of him.
"What do you an by that? What happened?!"
"I am sorry sir, but… the."
'The what! Answer ."
"The warehouse for the pharmaceuticals just got burnt down."
"You said!"
He put his hand down, removing the phone from his ear as he gazed ahead in disbelief.
"Grandfather. Tell , what is wrong? Did sothing happen to mum? Did… no, no, no. I cannot think. Please tell , what is wrong?"
No matter how she begged, he just did not speak about it. His brain was calculating, his mind was going bonkers with it all.
"Grandfather!"
It was her yell that broke him out of his reverie and he cast his gaze on her. "Qing i."
"Yes grandfather, tell what is wrong? Please." He could see the fear in her eyes and that scared him too.
Should he let her know what was going on or should he let it be?
Regardless of what his decision was, it boiled down to how her reaction would be. But her incessant screaming was not helping matters at all.
"GRANDFATHER! TALK TO !"
"Our warehouse just got burnt."
"WHAT!"
"Stay here,? would have your guards doubled, I need to see what is going on for myself."
"No, grandfather, do not go. What if it is a trap to lure you out?" Bai Qing i reasoned.
"He cannot do anything to now that the warehouse has been burnt. It would only make him look suspicious. I must go Qing i. Be safe. Once Hao Huizhing wakes up, he would co to you."
Without saying anything further, he turned around and raced out f the hospital.
On his way, he got his phone and started making calls. "Yes. I haven't checked the news. I know. I would get it sorted out."
Beep!
Another call ca in. "Mr Chsirman sir. You really need to see this."
"Is the fire still on?"
"Yes sir."
"What the hell are you waiting for? Rather than wanting to see this and that, get more firen to quench the fire."
"Yes, Chairman. But the fire is raging fast and more explosions have begun."
"Stop talking and get it done."
"Chairman you have another call," another one of his n called out.
"Chairman sir, you have a call from the prosecutor."
"You have a call from the Shinwa bank's president sir."
He stopped abruptly. Hearing their statent about the calls was already annoying enough when he had so much to think about.
"How dare they call at this point in ti? Do they think I am running a cody show here? Even cody shows take ti to plot and all. I am in a dilemma here, can't they see?!"
None of his subordinates spoke after that but lowered their gazes.
"All of you, switch off those phones now! Answer no one and stay focused. If you should call ensure the reporters are far from the incident!"
His mind was really going bunkers.
Rubbing his head, he turned around sharply and headed for the door of the hospital he got into his car afterwards and drove off.
