COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 7 Episode 63

Back at the dinner banquet, the accident didn’t even cause a ripple. It was like nothing ever happened at all. Everyone was happily oblivious to the fact that a small angel was gone before he could even open his eyes into this world. And another person was still fighting for her life in the surgery room.

It didn’t take long for Anna and her team to lock on to the culprit. They first hacked into the security cameras and looked through the footage. But the footage they found was from the garden where Tang Hebe and Raelle were talking. And that’s how they saw the whole scene play out. They even saw the flower pot falling from above which put them all on edge.

It was an undeniable fact that all of them cared way too much about Raelle. They had been around her for years. There was no way they protected her just because it was their job. It had been a long time since they stopped thinking that way. So, this matter was actually very personal to them right now.

Sadly, they couldn’t find a camera that had recorded who threw the flower pot from the balcony above. And since it fell from the balcony of one of Minister Chen’s daughters, there couldn’t possibly be a camera inside.

But they didn’t need it either.

A walk around the dinner banquet and they already found the culprit based on her manners. Anna’s eyes narrowed once her eyes locked on Ruan Meilin’s figure.

“Group leader, it is her,” said Hailey with certainty and with rage burning in her eyes. “There are mud stains on her clothes and her hand is also injured probably from lifting that heavy flower pot. Since she seemed to have done it impulsively, she didn’t take any precautions. Her eyes are wandering around uneasily and she keeps looking out the window. It has to be her.”

“Get her then,” ordered Anna. It’s not she was taking a blind shot either. If even Hailey could notice the guilty consciousness of Ruan Meilin, how could she not? How could Ruan Meilin hide her real feelings around these ex mercenaries who were used to playing with emotions and lives?

The banquet was coming to an end when they lured Ruan Meilin outside before Hailey covered her mouth from behind and dragged her away. Of course, their movements couldn’t possibly go undetected when they weren’t even trying to hide properly in someone else’s territory.

With guns pointed at them, a circle was formed around Anna, Hailey, and the two others from their team. Ruan Meilin was scared stiff from the moment she was caught but seeing the security guards, she found her courage and tried to escape from Hailey’s grasp. But how was it possible that a delicate little girl would be able to escape from Hailey’s grasp.

“Isn’t it very disrespectful towards the host?”

Anna looked up at Minister Chen who walked up to her and raised his question.

“We have never learned manners,” was Anna’s blunt answer. Not like she was lying. All of them were orphans who grew up in different organizations. Raised as killing machines. How many manners could they possibly have?

“Miss Ruan is our family’s guest, I’m gonna ask you nicely to let her go,” said Minister Chen acting like a kind person.

Anna sneered at him, “And if I don’t?”

“This will get dangerous,” said Minister Chen.

Hailey laughed at him, “And do we look like we are afraid of danger? Bring it on!”

Anna shot her short-tempered teammate before she faced Minister Chen, “Does Mr. Chen think we are being too nice by doing this quietly? Although my orders are to respect the host of the banquet and not do anything to make things noise, that doesn’t mean I’m afraid of this getting noisy. If anything, I’d love to make some noise!” She took a pause and added, “Mr. Chen should decide what is important to you. Do you want to offend the Xiang family and the Shui family by saving this person? Or would you like to sit this one out?”

“Is everything alright, Mr. Chen?”

Minister Chen looked over and found Xiang Hulin walking over. There was no way that General Xiang’s soldiers didn’t notice this commotion. So, how could he not be here? But once he looked at Anna, he paused. He felt like she looked familiar.

Minister Chen immediately asked, “General, would you like to tell me how my family’s guest offended your Xiang family?”

Xiang Hulin raised his brow and then looked at Ruan Meilin who was still in Hailey’s hands. She looked like a small doll whose life was being controlled by Hailey. Xiang Hulin wasn’t blind, he could tell that whether it was Hailey or Anna, both had a particular air around them. And since this involved his family…

“You work for Chenyan?” he asked.

“Yes,” answered Anna.

“Team leader, why are we wasting time? Can’t we just get this over with? I don’t think these people are our match. Even their guns are outdated!”

Anna glared at Hailey who was really impatient.

“What’s going on?” asked xiang Hulin.

Although Anna wasn’t as good-natured as well, she still knew whom she could offend and whom she couldn’t. She certainly knew the identity of Xiang Hulin and she didn’t think either of her bosses would like it if she ended up doing something wrong here. “Missy… I mean, Raellle Xiang’s orders. I have to take this woman with me. General, are you sure you want to stop me right now?” She then turned to Minister Chen, “And Mr. Chen, do you think the Xiang family will let you get off the hook so easily? Our family’s Missy almost lost her life in your house. I don’t think this fact will settle well with either Elder Xiang or Miss Mu Chenyan.”

Xiang Hulin’s eyes widened as he asked, “What happened to Raelle?”

“I can’t tell you that,” said Anna. “Orders. I can’t disobey!”

Xiang Hulin was feeling restless knowing something happened to Raelle but he couldn’t get anything out of Anna’s mouth. He could tell she was a tight-lipped person and her orders seemed to be everything to her. Not like he had a right to know anything.

His eyes bore into Ruan Meilin as he said, “You can take her away.” He didn’t know what did this woman do but he was certain his daughter wasn’t someone who would like to make a scene for no reason. Besides, if this woman was behind whatever happened to his daughter, he’d love to skin her alive as well.

“General,” Minister Chen tried to speak up but Xiang Hulin gave him a look.

Anna nodded at Xiang Hulin courteously and turned to leave. They pushed Ruan Meilin into the van and drove away. Meanwhile, Xiang Hulin glared at Minister Chen and said, “You better think about what you’re gonna do. My father or my sister isn’t someone you’d be able to handle just because you’re a member of the district council.”

Minister Chen was scared to hear that. He had nothing to do with Ruan Meilin. He was purely acting like a host who didn’t want anything to happen to his guests. Who knew he seemed to have touched the hornet’s nest. Was he someone who could deal with the Xiang family even with his background? The answer was no!

And his bigger concern was the last descendant of the Mu’s family main branch, Mu Chenyan. That devil was really not someone he could handle!

Inside the van, Ruan Meilin was still struggling to try to shout and bite and whatnot. As Hailey moved her hand away from her mouth, she shouted, “This is kidnapping! This is illegal!”

Anna looked at her, “And does it seem like it’s our first time doing something illegal? Let me break it down to you, we aren’t really nice people, to begin with. If you loved your life, you shouldn’t have designs of our family’s Missy. We are only nice until you’re nice to our family’s Missy. Once you become hostile towards her, we become your worst nightmares.”

Ruan Meilin shuddered under her gaze and wanted to shout for help. But before she could, Hailey threw a hand chop behind her neck, making her unconscious.

“Ah! She is too loud! Got on my nerve!” She looked at Anna and asked, “Team leader, did you hear anything from the hospital? How is Missy?”

Anna turned off her phone’s screen as her jaw tensed, “Missy had a miscarriage.”

“WHAT?!” Hailey exclaimed and then her hands were wrapped around Ruan Meilin’s neck wanting to strangle her. But before that, Anna held her back.

“Wouldn’t be too nice and easy of a death?” asked Anna.

Only then did, Hailey dropped her hands but her anger didn’t die down. “I want to burn her alive.”

“You can do whatever you want as long as you keep her alive for Missy,” was Anna’s answer with a sharp glint in her eyes.
