Chapter 314 - Untitled
That night, Ye Wei was unable to sleep. Firstly, the pain in her wrist and spine left her unable to sleep at peace. Secondly, she was listening out for movement outside the mansion. Whilst the young kid had installed an infrared (IR) identification system along the outer perimeter of the mansion, Third Young Master Ye had also enabled the alarm in the mansion. Ye Wei was listening out for any movement.
Eleven, who was also awake, listened out for movement on the sofa. Third Young Master Ye was in his bedroom the whole night on a video conference with Klose, Fourth Young Master Tang, Lin and company, discussing and refining strategies against Louis. They were also working on a set of strategies that allowed them to simultaneously advance and defend, hence defeating Louis in the shortest time possible.
And terminate MBS International once and for all.
The young kid was in his study room, researching his computer skills. As the Mo brothers had stoked his intention to fight, the young kid would not stop until he won against them. With his computer skills at a certain level, breaking through it was not impossible but very difficult.
The learning never ends.
Once he found his target, he would naturally want to defeat it. He wanted to be the top of all hackers.
With this target in mind, the young kid’s seriousness was without precedent.
Cheng Anya was undoubtedly the idlest in the house but did not sleep well. She would occasionally wake up to make coffee for the young kid and Ye Chen, and then go onto the internet once in a while. With the MBS International incident trending on every search engine, Cheng Anya read through every official and unofficial source.
Finally, out of boredom, she logged onto the forums. The forums were quiet after eleven in the evening as the elites were busy at work due to the recent happenings. With a looming commercial war, every enterprise was coming up with countermeasures and many were busy OT. With a few people on the forums, there was not much activity and Cheng Anya was not the most interested.
She checked out The Evergreen Tree’s account and found that he last logged in when he was arguing online with her. As Third Young Master Ye’s time was precious, he indeed had very limited time to spend on the forums.
She suddenly reminisced about the times she argued online with The Evergreen Tree. What a splendid and ideal life that was!
With many things in her heart, she could not sleep well. Third Young Master Ye, Ye Wei, Eleven, and the young kid’s sights were on the world. They became even more badass than each other with each being able to intimidate someone as strong whom they were going against. However, Ye Wei was twice injured, the young kid faced difficulties in his area of expertise, and Third Young Master Ye was about to face a massive upheaval in the marketplace. For her, her spirits were not as good.
She had always been easily tired out, and her chest sharply ached when she took a shower last night. With her body curled on the ground, she could not move for a full ten minutes. As though her bones were made of steel, she could not move.
Whenever she moved, her heart would hurt excruciatingly and it would take a while for her to recover.
As she had stood for a full ten minutes after the shower, Cheng Anya was shivering and she wondered if she almost became a statue. She then took a second shower before coming out all fine.
She wondered what had happened to her. Firstly, her abdomen winced in pain twice, followed by a weird pain in her heart. As this had never happened before, she did not know how bad her body was.
The report due tomorrow was, like a fishbone, lodged in Cheng Anya’s throat. She was afraid to go to the hospital to have the nurses deliver grave news. That thought vexed the daylights out of her.
As it concurred at such a critical juncture, she was naturally vexed.
As she was worried about her poor sleep, she logged onto the internet less and decidedly hugged her computer and read until three or four in the morning. When she woke up, she would make tea for Ye Chen and the young kid. Burning the midnight oil with coffee was never a good idea.
“Mommy, you have not slept yet?” The young kid tenderly kneaded his mommy’s face. “Go to sleep and don’t bother about us. If not, my heart will ache.”
“Got it.” Cheng Anya kneaded the young kid’s head and walked out of the study room. As she stood at the door, she turned back to look at her son. His little frame sitting right up as he tapped away on the computer.
Cheng Anya smiled and was proud of Ning Ning.
As she brought the tea up to the study room on the second floor, the photocopier whirred nonstop whilst the fax machine hummed on. As Third Young Master Ye made his plans, there were a lot of documents on his table and some of them fell onto the floor.
When Cheng Anya entered the room, he suddenly yawned. As he had not slept for two days, his eyes were bloodshot. To put it differently, nobody in the house had slept for two days straight.
She wanted to convince him to sleep for a while but canceled the idea and instead poured him tea.
“Dear Anya, why aren’t you asleep?” Third Young Master Ye pulled her over and kissed her. His hands kneaded her slightly cold face in pity.
“Your darling child and you have yet to sleep. Naturally, I can’t sleep.” Cheng Anya smiled as she allowed him to hug her. “We’re out of coffee, so time for tea.” She passed the tea to him.
“Dear, feed me.” Third Young Master Ye, who had a rare moment to skive, squinted as he looked at her lips. Cheng Anya wanted to invite him to tea like how she used to invite Ye Yutang.
Third Young Master Ye was the typical guy who needed little cajoling.
“Stop being so difficult. Get back to work after having your tea.” Cheng Anya sternly lectured him as Third Young Master Ye looked at her grudgingly and hugged her tightly in revenge. “Dear Anya, if you leave me hanging for such a long time, I will still make mistakes. I still… have my needs.”
Cheng Anya smiled as brightly as she could and all those bad feelings were gone. People were interesting. While they were upset and stifled a moment ago, somebody’s smile or petulant behavior could make them extremely happy.
Only Ye Chen and Ning Ning could let her feel that way.
“Didn’t I make food for you? You had so many opportunities during your birthday that you squandered. Heck, I even slept with you for a night, so don’t blame me if your willy is not up to the task,” Cheng Anya said plainly.
Third Young Master Ye gritted his teeth and could not wait to pounce on her. “Did you say that my willy is not up to the task?” God knew how much he wanted her then.
F***, was she even considerate? Men could not stand women, especially their own women, suspecting whether they were even able to ‘perform’. How embarrassing could that get!
“I’m just being honest, so don’t be unconvinced.” Cheng Anya blinked naughtily.
“You sure are mean, you know? Did you know that I used to…” Third Young Master Ye, who was about to bravely make his stand, suddenly stopped in his tracks and lost his marbles. Shit! Could he, in front of Anya, glorify his past exploits? This was not how he ought to defend his dignity.
Ye Chen, you must be mad.
“Were you about to say that your sexual endurance was over the top?” Cheng Anya smiled as she turned around and looked at him teasingly.
“Dear Anya, I used to—actually, yes,” Third Young Master Ye said seriously then smiled foolishly.
As he had no choice but to say what he did not agree with, Cheng Anya definitely understood him too well. Like most men who had a face to protect, he really wanted to brag about his extreme sexual endurance.
However smart Third Young Master Ye was, he would rather lose his face than lose his wife.
And to think Miss Cheng, however gentle her demeanor, became scary when she flared up.
“Your willy is sure… not up to the task.” Miss Cheng looked at his crotch disdainfully and then gently got up. “In light of my future (sexual) happiness, I will need to reconsider marrying you.”
Third Young Master Ye kept silent.
F***, he would show her what he’s capable of eventually. Third Young Master Ye swore.
As Third Young Master Ye pinched his dear Anya on the cheek, he suddenly broke into an alluring smile. “My willy will only be up to the task when it sees your fanny. Your (sexual) happiness is guaranteed.”
Cheng Anya was stunned into silence.
To bicker with Third Young Master Ye, especially when it came to sex, was almost certainly a loss-making venture. She was not as shameless as him.
“Drink your tea and get back to work. I’ll have to get out too.” Cheng Anya was slightly embarrassed as she walked out of the study room. Third Young Master Ye, like men, was sure damn lecherous.
Third Young Master Ye shook his head. His dear Anya was still miles away from a good verbal spar with him. After a few NSFW jokes, he felt much better. When his dear Anya came by, a kiss was all he needed to be back in the fight. That said, did he still need tea?
As the next day dawned, Third Young Master Ye woke up from his sleep and pulled four to five thick curtains in his room. The young kid was also still sleeping. Ye Wei, who was not in good spirits due to her injury, was resting.
As Cheng Anya went out, she could only greet Eleven.
“Are you okay if you go out alone? I’ll give you a lift wherever you go,” Eleven said decisively. Nobody knew whether Louis would suddenly lay a finger on Cheng Anya.
“They are all at home and not in the best of spirits. Stay home. I will be fine. I’m meeting a friend for lunch, and things are also just beginning. Since Louis will only resort to desperate measures when confronted, I am expecting him to spar with Ah Chen for now. He shouldn’t pull off anything on me for this moment.”
“Wear this, and press the red button if in danger.” Eleven nodded as she took off her watch and let Cheng Anya wear it.
Cheng Anya took a look, nodded, and went out.
Li Yun came to pick Cheng Anya up before they went to the hospital. “Did you ask the doctor? What did he say?” Li Yun asked.
“I’m okay,” Cheng Anya said, afraid to receive bad news.
“You… Ah, never mind. You will know after a trip to the hospital.”
They reached the hospital at about the appointment slot with Doctor Chen. In Doctor Chen’s office, Cheng Anya opened the report with trepidation. After she calmed her nerves down, she looked at the report. “I’m alright?” Her gaze brightened.
“Ah, yes, you are alright. The checkup revealed no anomalies.” Doctor Chen smiled.
While Cheng Anya rejoiced, Li Yun was also happy for her. “In that case, what about the two bouts of abdominal pain earlier?”
“Miss Cheng, you might have eaten something bad. This happens pretty often, so don’t worry.” Doctor Chen smiled gently.
Cheng Anya also asked her about her chest pain the night before, which Doctor Chen attributed to a long bath that led to a lack of oxygen, which was no major problem. As Cheng Anya recovered after every abdominal pain, there did not seem to be any issues.
She was also relaxed as she trusted this hospital more.
The hanging worry in her heart was finally gone.
“Congratulations. At least, it was just a bad scare, so drinks on you.”
“No problem.”
As Cheng Anya and Li Yun stepped out of Doctor Chen’s office, Doctor Chen’s face changed. As he saw a man in black step out from behind the screen, Doctor Chen was in extreme fear.
“I’ve done as you told me to. Don’t kill me… Don’t kill me…” Doctor Chen retreated in panic.
“You know too much,” the man said with a cold humph.
As he lifted his hand and pulled the trigger, Doctor Chen was shot in the temple. As the gun in question was a suppressed pistol, there was nary a sound made from start to end. Once the deed was done, the man quickly disappeared from the hospital.
Only Doctor Chen’s body lay on the cold floor.
The patch of blood slowly spread!
