Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 258 Finally broken

~ Flashback ~

"What? Where is she?"

Wang Lu's voice roared in his office when he heard what his secretary had said. He immediately stood up from his office chair, making it fall to the ground.

"She is in an abandoned warehouse—"

"We have to go there. Now!"

Interrupting his secretary, Wang Lu immediately left the room, his secretary following behind him. They immediately went to the garage and the two of them already entered the car.

The secretary quickly drove away as he got the directions to the warehouse memorized.

Wang Lu was silent all throughout the drive. His hands on his lap turned into a tight fist as his lips turned into a tight line, his eyes reflecting worry and at the same time anger.

He was worried about Feng Mei, and he was also angry at the person who did this.

"Do you have any idea who did this?" Wang Lu asked, the secretary nodding.

"Yes, Mr. Wang," he answered, "His name, if I am correct, is Gu Zhi. He was the one who kidnapped your wife," he added, Wang Lu's rage flowing though his veins.

Wang Lu's knuckles turned white from clenching his fists too hard. He gritted his teeth—an effort to remain silent. His hunched form exuded an animosity that was like acid—burning, slicing, and potent.

His face was red with suppressed rage, and when his secretary was even silent, he still snapped at him, frustrated with what was happening.

"Hurry up at once! I need to see Feng Mei!"

"Y-Yes, Mr. Wang."

His secretary stepped on the accelerator, following Wang Lu's order so they could immediately come to the warehouse where Feng Mei is.

It had been long since Feng Mei was missing. They have been doing a lot of attempts to look for Feng Mei, but only now did they find leads to where she is.

After a ten-minute drive, they already arrived in front of the warehouse. Stepping into the old warehouse was like stepping into a whole other world. It was like venturing onto a set of old train tracks and following them as far as it took you.

Wang Lu and his secretary ignored the grass peeking up below them. There were a lot of rusted metal around and most of them were even broken. The building seemed to shudder in the wind and sway as the rain attacked it.

Wang Lu and his secretary quickly assessed the area as they walked around, looking for Feng Mei. The building was empty, but for a few obsolete pieces of rusted metal, pieces that seemed perfectly at home within the building's vine-covered walls.

Just as it had been outside, the moment the two opened the door of the warehouse building, the inside looked like something out of a dystopian movie, the walls were rusted and useless as the other carts inside were untouched.

Beams stretched high overhead, and rain dripped down through the cracks of the ceiling, making some parts of the building's floor wet with puddles of water.

Wang Lu and his secretary took further steps into the building, looking around as they left wet footprints on the floor. Wang Lu looked at his secretary, his face very serious.

"Are you sure?" he asked, turning to face the figure of his secretary beside him. The abandoned building seemed like an old place to do much of anything, let alone a suitable place to keep a person away from the crowd.

"It's this place, Mr. Wang Lu," his secretary said, certainty in his voice. "The coordinates led here. From the location itself, nobody hears much of anything out here," he added, taking in a few more steps to look around as his boss stood in the middle of the building, assessing the area more.

How could the man, Gu Zhi, put Feng Mei here? Where could she possibly be, and what was his motive for him to keep her here?

"Feng Mei!"

Snapping himself from his wandering thoughts, Wang Lu called out to Feng Mei, his voice echoing in the vast abandoned building. Seconds passed, but still, there was no feedback. Wang Lu clicked his tongue out of frustration, but when the two of them heard a faint thud on the farther end of the building, they both looked at each other in surprise.

"Did you hear that?" Wang Lu asked, "There was a faint thud at the farther side of the building," he mumbled, but it was enough for his secretary to hear.

Feeling cautious, his secretary was trained as Wang Lu's bodyguard as well. He was in a defensive stance as he got his gun from his pocket, leading the way as Wang Lu slowly followed his secretary.

Only their footsteps were heard in the building. The moment Wang Lu's secretary saw the bare feet of a woman, he immediately widened his eyes, quickly turning to look at Wang Lu to inform him what he saw.

"Mr. Wang Lu… there's a woman's body! It must be—"

"Feng Mei!"

Immediately, Wang Lu ran to where his secretary is. His body instantly froze when he saw the woman on the floor, his lips trembling as he looked at the woman lying almost lifeless on the floor.

She was in a fetal position. Both of her ankles and wrists were tied in with a cable tie. She was blindfolded, and her gray clothes seemed to be drenched either in her sweat, or the rain water that was around her.

Her body seemed to be trembling due to the cold, her lips slightly parted as the cloth that blindfolded her dampened by her silent cries.

Even in this state, Wang Lu immediately noticed who she was. It was really Feng Mei and with her in this state, who knows how long she stayed here.

"Feng Mei," Wang Lu said her name, the woman's body stiffening in an instant as she heard a voice after so long.

"W-who's there!?" Her voice was shaky and at the same time, scared. "Don't you dare come near me… don't you dare!"

Feng Mei started crying as she gathered all the strength she had to crawl away on her sides just to run away even though she knew it was pointless.

Seeing Feng Mei this way, Wang Lu could not help but furrow his brows in worry and in pain. There were bruises on her face and on some parts of her body. As she helplessly dragged herself away, some tears escaped from Wang Lu's eyes as he felt his heart breaking, seeing Feng Mei this way.

"Feng Mei…"

Wang Lu approached her. The moment he held her wrist even though it was gentle, Feng Mei screamed at the top of her lungs as if she saw a ghost, or as if she was being tortured when there was nothing even happening.

"Don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me! Aaaah! Go away, go away!"

Feng Mei was doing all she could to attack. Even though she had cable ties tied around her ankles and wrists, it did not stop her from moving, even making her skin bleed due to the pressure she felt as she struggled to escape from the man, not knowing that it was Wang Lu.

"Feng Mei!" Wang Lu immediately removed her blindfold, their eyes locked with each other. "It's me, Wang Lu. It's—"

"Go away!" There were fearful tears escaping from Feng Mei's eyes, "Don't you dare come near me! Don't hurt me. Don't you—"

"Feng Mei!"

Wang Lu could not help but cry as well as he reached out for her, attempting to hold her. The moment Wang Lu's hand brushed against Feng Mei's skin, the woman shouted in pain once more, as if she was about to go insane.

"Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Leave me alone! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"F-Feng Mei…"

Wang Lu didn't know what to do. Every time he tried to touch her, Feng Mei would only shout at him as if she never recognized him at all! It was as if she suddenly turned insane, Wang Lu, worrying if she could go back to the way she was.

Even Wang Lu's secretary was surprised to see Feng Mei in such a state. Working for Wang Lu, he knew that Feng Mei is a strong woman. Seeing her in this state, it was like it was not Feng Mei at all!

Whatever could have happened?

"So, do you like what you're seeing?"

Wang Lu and his secretary instinctively looked back to where the sound came from. The moment they did, they saw a handsome and mysterious figure standing before them, immediately piquing their interest.

Wang Lu's eyebrow twitched, "Who are you?"

A sinister laugh came from the man, "None of your business. Just consider me as your worst nightmare."

With that, the man continued walking towards them, passing by Wang Lu and his secretary as he approached Feng Mei. The moment Feng Mei's eyes landed on the man, she immediately screamed, way louder than how she screamed at Wang Lu.

The man knelt in front of Feng Mei, the woman desperately crawling away to escape from him. An evil smirk appeared on the man's face as he grabbed Feng Mei by the wrist, stopping her from escaping from him. Yan Mei's eyes widened in fear.

"Hmm… seems like I have finally broken her. Tsk, tsk…" The man then looked up, his eyes meeting Wang Lu's eyes as he spoke, his words sending shivers down Wang Lu's spine. "Seems that the little kitty can't even recognize her dearly beloved! How painful…"
