Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 618 - The Burnt Warehouse [Bonus ]

*************

CHAPTER 618

"Who did it? Was it Li Jing who ordered it, grandfather? Tell me. I feel like tearing her apart."

  "No. It was not Li Jing but her husband. Ye Cheng ordered it as a warning."

It felt like heavy thunder was let loose in the sky and it struck out properly.

"You said…" She was still in a daze by the news she just heard and her mind felt like it was in turmoil. "No."

"I am sorry but that is the truth."

"No. I am not sad but… How dare he?"

Her breathing began ragged as her heart thudded wildly in her chest. "He should have just ignored it like always. Now…"

"Exactly. He should have but it seems like he is not having that anymore. He is now b.u.t.ting in and I can no longer take it lying down," Chairman Zhang interjected.

"I…"

"And do not stop me, Qing Mei. He hurt you big time. I would not sit back and watch that happen to you. It is time to be the real bad guy. I have hidden for too long and acted codely but after our fast pain relief drugs. .h.i.t the market, there would be no one who can compare to us."

"Is it ready to hit the market now, grandfather?"

"No. There are still some experiments to be done but who cares about that? There are so many people ready to invest in us. I have promised them a good chance in our estate we would build. The would-be partners to the world-changing development."

"Really?"

"Yes. You did not think I would sit back and let Ye Sheng's company always be on top right? I have been making the groundwork preparations. I have the prosecutor on our side to cover up our wrongs and make it all go away."

"Hmm. Interesting. This way we would be invincible and we can go away with anything."

'Exactly so even if Ye Cheng wants to take you to jail and stuff, we can make it so that the case never happened. The ruling and top judge in the country is in our favour. We helped him get there so he is indebted to us."

'Wow. This is brilliant, grandfather."

"That is my girl. Now, all you have to do is rest this evening and tomorrow, we would transport you home under my protection."

"And mother? I fear that seeing I am under your protection, he would go for mother."

"Tsk, do you trust me or not? She is already going bunkers with me not letting her leave the house. I would get her to my residence as well and have you all be guarded 24/7."

"Okay. I am glad. This is a good way. So what are your plans to make him pay or should…"

Ring! Ring!

Bai Qing Mei paused in her speech and watched as her grandfather brought out his phone and answered eh call.

"h.e.l.lo?"

"Chairman sir, please check the news something terrible has happened."

0_0

"What!" He stood up from where he sat, his eyes s.h.i.+ning wide with shock as fury began to boil inside of him.

"What do you mean by that? What happened?!"

"I am sorry sir, but… the."

'The what! Answer me."

"The warehouse for the pharmaceuticals just got burnt down."

"You said!"

He put his hand down, removing the phone from his ear as he gazed ahead in disbelief.

"Grandfather. Tell me, what is wrong? Did something happen to mum? Did… no, no, no. I cannot think. Please tell me, what is wrong?"

No matter how she begged, he just did not speak about it. His brain was calculating, his mind was going bonkers with it all.

"Grandfather!"

It was her yell that broke him out of his reverie and he cast his gaze on her. "Qing Mei."

"Yes grandfather, tell me what is wrong? Please." He could see the fear in her eyes and that scared him too.

Should he let her know what was going on or should he let it be?

Regardless of what his decision was, it boiled down to how her reaction would be. But her incessant screaming was not helping matters at all.

"GRANDFATHER! TALK TO ME!"

"Our warehouse just got burnt."

"WHAT!"

"Stay here,  would have your guards doubled, I need to see what is going on for myself."

"No, grandfather, do not go. What if it is a trap to lure you out?" Bai Qing Mei reasoned.

"He cannot do anything to me now that the warehouse has been burnt. It would only make him look suspicious. I must go Qing Mei. Be safe. Once Hao Huizhing wakes up, he would come to you."

Without saying anything further, he turned around and raced out f the hospital.

On his way, he got his phone and started making calls. "Yes. I haven't checked the news. I know. I would get it sorted out."

Beep!

Another call came in. "Mr Chsirman sir. You really need to see this."

"Is the fire still on?"

"Yes sir."

"What the h.e.l.l are you waiting for? Rather than wanting me to see this and that, get more firemen to quench the fire."

"Yes, Chairman. But the fire is raging fast and more explosions have begun."

"Stop talking and get it done."

"Chairman you have another call," another one of his men called out.

"Chairman sir, you have a call from the prosecutor."

"You have a call from the s.h.i.+nwa bank's president sir."

He stopped abruptly. Hearing their statement about the calls was already annoying enough when he had so much to think about. 

"How dare they call me at this point in time? Do they think I am running a comedy show here? Even comedy shows take time to plot and all. I am in a dilemma here, can't they see?!"

None of his subordinates spoke after that but lowered their gazes.

"All of you, switch off those phones now! Answer no one and stay focused. If you should call ensure the reporters are far from the incident!"

His mind was really going bunkers.

Rubbing his head, he turned around sharply and headed for the door of the hospital he got into his car afterwards and drove off.
