Chapter 122 - BoooM
It had been three weeks since Long Jie and Zhenyi were married. She\'d only known him for this last month, and if she were being fully, fully honest here, She\'d spent the best time of her life with him.
Okay. That\'s a lie.
She\'d spent the last three weeks in pure marital bliss.
Ah. Another lie again.
She had only seen him a handful of times after their last confrontation.
Well, that not a lie again, at least not fully.
Though she saw him every day, they were still not living like a conventional married couple. They shared the same bed but not their problems and feelings. They dined at the same table but were not actually sitting with each other.
People say \'distance makes the heart grow fonder \' and it\'s a universally accepted truth. But how can you miss someone when they are with you, in front of you, sleeping with you, eating with you? How can you miss someone you have no right to miss?
The Longing in Long Jie\'s eyes was not hidden from anyone but what could they do when he was not ready to take a step forward?
The real, real truth was that Long was scared, scared of what might come into their way next. Esma was still missing and there was no news about her anywhere, his men had searched each nook and corner of the Earth, well except Tang Palace.
Zhenyi was still occupied by one problem after another but she kinda liked the thrill of waging a bloodless war which was the first for her. Though everyone around her knew that it was a matter of time until the war between her and Du Zheng would get bloody.
Neither of the parties was backing out.
Zhenyi\'s fondness for explosions got the best of her this time again. She had ordered the explosion of three shell companies under Du cooperation and it was national news today. Every news channel, newspaper, and social media outlet were discussing the reason behind the bomb attack. Some were considering if it was a militant attack, somewhere deeming it as a threat to Du Zheng\'s life and several more frightening assumptions were floating in Beijing\'s air.
Xu Ming Yue was proving very useful just as Zhenyi had assumed in the beginning when she offered her the contract. Zhenyi\'s suggestion of \'play hard to get\' worked, Du Zheng was indeed pursuing Xu Ming Yue but why? It was still a mystery that Zhenyi wished to solve as soon as possible.
Although Zhang Han\'s secret cover mission as Bingbing had called it one day, was more tricky, he doing an excellent job at it. He sent all the reports he was asked to. Sometimes, Zhenyi had doubts if he really was a spy working undercover. Never mind, he was currently useful to her so, she wouldn\'t toss him out.
"Du Zheng and his assistant had a meeting with He Xian at Pine farms. It is heard that they are in the final stage of negotiation. The buyout can happen anytime soon."
He Xian, the president of Air China who signed a contract with Xin cooperation along with Long Groups, but canceled when Du Zheng came into the picture.
Fan Bingbing came with a glass of whiskey and shove it into Zhenyi\'s hand.
Zhenyi looked at her, up and down, and then glanced at the glass in her hand.
She had been over the edge for the last two weeks but she was holding on to it. Fan Bingbing had spent years beside Zhenyi and she knew it was only a matter of time until her patience finally would snap. She was never a very patient person, to begin with. Drinks had always been Zhenyi\'s escape so she made her one.
"Besides, he is a family man who is more than generous with his offer," Fan Bingbing scoffed.
Zhenyi took a sip and her attention went back to the television. "It is a man\'s word, Bingbing. What can you expect from the men who spent years running these mega-conglomerate with their wives at home, tending to them, bearing them spawns to continue their legacy, and hearing all the jabs and taunts because their husbands pay for their spendings? I\'m a woman who is supposed to be like their wives tending to my husband but what rotten luck I had that I\'m not like their virtuous daughters and devoted wives."
The news channel was confirming that the country was in grave crisis.
Zhenyi scoffed at them,\' It was just two mini bombs that she had ordered to be planted by her men.\'
"Don\'t you get tired of proving yourself again and again?" Fan Bingbing asked.
"Tired of what? Proving to them that I\'m thrice the man they are? No. I actually love when they weave all kinds of fantasies about me in their head and I shatter them by unloading bullets in their heads. I find it interesting."
Zhenyi changed to another channel where the same news was replaying. Didn\'t they have another juicy news? Should she give them another exposure to spicy and tangy news?
"No bloody war this time and you agreed." Fan Bingbing reminded her. " By the way, your cell was ringing. There were few missed calls."
\'It must be Ryuu\' Zhenyi thought because only a few people have that number. But why was he calling now? He was supposed to be back in few days but there was no news about him either.
"Let it be for now. Back to He Xiang? Check his current location."
"He is still at Pine Farms with his family enjoying a little vacation," Fan Bingbing informed her.
"And Du Zheng? " Zhenyi asked.
"After his current quest," came the reply.
Xu Ming Yue was doing a fantastic job. She has sent them various useful information. Remind her to give her a raise.
"Ask the driver to get the car ready. We are leaving," Zhenyi suddenly said.
On the Tv a piece of news was replaying,\' the bomb blast was planned by the militant outfit. They have claimed that it was their doing and if the government doesn\'t attend to all their demands they will attack a public place this time. It was only a trailer, the picture is still pending.\'
"Where?" Fan Bingbing asked.
"To make the war a little more bloody." Zhenyi winked at Fan Bingbing.
And why did Fan Bingbing had a very, very bad feeling about it.
