The Typhoon's Dangerous Wife

[Long Mansion]

Zhenyi was enjoying tea along with some tarts, sitting on the chair placed in the middle of the room, she chose to relish the joy of watching the show orchestrated solely by her. 

'Sigh. Being the madam of the house is no easy job. I must be compensated accordingly by my Jie.' 

Ada, who was standing behind Zhenyi couldn't help but feel like vomiting. How on earth was her boss able to eat when such a heinous scene was playing before her eyes? She had never regretted anything in life. But she did regret working for Zhenyi. 

"Zhenyi, she is ready to talk!" Long Yuan said proudly. He was about to leave for London a few days back but at the last moment, Long Jie asked him to stay in Beijing to take care of other matters since Wei wasn't there either. 

"I quite like her well-maintained nails," Zhenyi said, placing the teacup on the table in a very elegant and graceful way. Such elegance and grace only came out whenever she was in a mood for some adventure. 

The tattered lady who was sprawled over the floor looked up to glance at Zhenyi. Blood was oozing from the corner of her mouth. She was shivering by the thought of what barbarity these crazy people would inflict on her. Yet, a bit of fight was left in her. Even if she died, she wouldn't open her mouth. 

When she heard Zhenyi said that she liked her nails. She felt as if life was leaving her body bit by bit. She just knew what was coming next. 

Apparently, her death was far, so far. 

Zhenyi took a bite of the tart as she closed her eyes to savor its heavenly taste. 'Truly, nothing could compete with Grandma Mian's special almond tarts.'

'Only if my Jie was here to share it with me.' 

She opened her eyes and uttered the words which the disgraceful woman was anticipating," Rip her nails off!"

[Ladies and gentleman, our boss is back! The Xin Zhenyi is back!]

Long Yuan gestured to Gong to do what her boss ordered. Gong Just sneered at him and muttered 'Nasty Long' under his breath, and then looked at Zhenyi with twinkling eyes. He wanted his boss to praise him. 

Apparently, Long soldiers and Xin soldiers were not on good terms. In front of their respective bosses, they would be on good terms but when their bosses were not in sight, they would go back to how they were from the very beginning-- enemies. 

The room where all of them had gathered was the underground place beneath the Long Mansion. It was half the size of the mansion itself, but it was way safer than the mansion. All the confidential meetings related to the outfit were done here. Not that everyone could come here. Since Zhenyi was now one of them, she was allowed to enter it. And as for Gong, he was specially called by her and so he was given entry with special measures. Still, he could enter only the underground basement where bloody tasks were done.

 For instance, interrogation, holding captives, sometimes a little bit of killings too, etc…(mostly the trivial activities related to the outfit.) 

"Ah…." the painful shrieks of the woman were heard. "Please….don't...please…" she was whimpering and sobbing badly. 

'The scent of iron in the air is just wow!'

Now one would wonder what wrong had this woman committed to come across as Zhenyi's enemy? The woman was no one else but the maid who had served tea to Zhenyi yesterday. For a second, she really dared to think that she would try to play Zhenyi and she would be spared? She was nuts! Truly nuts! 

Finally, Zhenyi was done with the tea. She threw one glance at Ada, whose face resembled that of a ghost's- White and Ashen. She inwardly shook her head. Well, Ada deserved it. She almost missed this maid yesterday because of Esma again. This Esma, she would deal with that third-grade bad girl again. However, in the end, she completed her mission and managed to protect her head from getting slaughtered-- caught the maid. 

Zhenyi stood up and strode towards the disheveled woman whose hands were now painted with blood. She was sobbing. She should actually. If she wouldn't, how would she remember in her next seven lives that she shouldn't cross Xin Zhenyi? It was a lesson for the next seven lives too. 

The woman heard the click of the heels against the concrete again and then, it suddenly stopped. She refused to look up. She abstained to look at what death looks like. 

With the tip of her high heel, Zhenyi made her look at her. She was wearing a fitted two-piece emerald suit. The woman who was forced to glance at Zhenyi felt like grim reapers could carry green so well. For her, green was now the color of death. 

"Let's make it short," Zhenyi said." I'm getting late for the office. You don't want to commit another crime by making me late for office, do you?" 

"Y-you're a d-devil's daughter…" the woman spat out. 

"Gong!" Zhenyi suddenly said. 

"Boss!" Like a good pet, Gong suddenly appears before Zhenyi. 

"Cut off her tongue too after she is done giving us the much-needed answers!" Zhenyi informed him. 'No one gets to call my parents names and get done with it.'

Long Yuan threw a dirty look at the maid again. 'What was the need to mess with her when you knew she was the devil's daughter? Furthermore, Uncle Yichen is a lot better than his devilish daughter.' 

"Are you answering my questions or not!" This time Zhenyi asked the maid in a thundering voice. The maid broke into tears. 

'What a weakling!'

"Please…" 

She pushed the maid with her heel and as a result, the maid fell on her head. Blood trickled down her forehead. 

"Even my heel is capable of killing you, woman. Do you think that I need to use my hands to end you?" Zhenyi spoke again. "But let me tell you, if I take your life, I won't stop until I kill your entire family. You awakened the hidden monster inside of me, woman and now you must bear the consequences!" 

"Let me ask you again, who asked you to place that letter in the tray?" Zhenyi asked her in a threatening tone. 

"I don't know… I really don't know… I received the note with a wad of cash… I was blinded by the greed, Young madam. I thought that Elder Madam would be happy with me…" 

The maid's answer confirmed Zhenyi's suspicion. Indeed, whoever this young master was...he had planned everything meticulously. 

Zhenyi was familiar with the fact that the maid knew nothing from the very beginning as the scene when she accepted the package containing the note and the cash, it was captured in the CCTV camera. 

'Seems like the Young Master deliberately didn't avoid the cameras. Sigh! What on earth does he want from me?'

She just tortured her to set the example that she was not the one to be messed with.
