CHAPTER 754 – Another Gift

Accepting his mother’s apology, Ye Cheng nodded his head calmly.

“Great. Anyways, I will be expecting your return, mum. And if there is anything, let me know, okay?”

“No worries. Although, I will be visiting Fong’s Master soon.”

“I would prefer you have him come over if you do not mind. He can best protect himself and he is not their enemy. You, on the other hand, I cannot say that.”

“All right. Extend my regards to Li Jing and let a doctor examine her.”

“Yes, ma. I will call him over.”

“Good. Bye.”

.....

******

Since the warning message was delivered to her, Bai Qing Mei had been on a low key.

Even if she had denied countless times that she was not affected by what was done, everyone knew that was a lie.

Her mother and the maids especially. However, she had no choice but to brace up like that.

A soft sigh fell off her lips as she lifted her gaze and peered at the wall clock.

“Hmm, it’s 11 o’clock already,” Bai Qing Mei noted. “When would Hai Huizhong come? I wish to visit grandfather in the hospital and inform him of the problem at hand.”

Her chest fell as she heaved deeply. The whole matter about the Ye family and themselves was giving her a headache.

Even though her mother was helpful enough to rid her of her fears, a part of her still wondered if she was being watched.

“Lying low really is the best course of action but until when? We engaged in this war first. I need to know how to pull out without harming my family but the question remains, how.”

She was lost in thought that she failed to notice the door to her room open with someone letting himself or herself in.

“What do I do to help mum? What would grandpa do should he be in my shoes?”

She rested her jaw on her palm while her eyes peered forwards, getting her deep in thought.

“I know. Since the battle had begun, grandpa would not relent. He would not back down. I should also prove to him that I am not scared. Whomever they may be, they should be the ones being scared of me instead.”

Her eyes glistened with joy and mischief at the several thoughts that came to mind.

Usually, her brain worked better when it came to causing trouble than when it came to actual business. This was the reason she was glad she had her mother.

Her smile broadened as more wicked thoughts ran through her mind.

“Hahaha, he scared me. How about scaring the living daylight out of him or his wife?”

She s.h.i.+fted her gaze from the door and lowered it to the plate on the bed beside her.

The strawberry and grapes lined up properly on her plate gave her more satisfaction to stare at than anything else.

She picked a strawberry fruit on cue and rolled it between her thumb and index finger.

“How about squas.h.i.+ng the lives of those you love and hold dear like this fruit?” she thought out loud.

Although she knew she was alone, she did not mind if anyone heard her. Neither did Bai Qing Mei care.

Her fear had pushed her to this point where she wished to show how brave she was even though it meant her doing things she was not proud of.

Then again, this was Bai Qing Mei. Shameless acts were what she was good at.

She cast a lazy look at the strawberry in her hand before bringing it in front of her face.

“Now, where should we start?”

VOOM!

To her shock and surprise, everywhere became dark instantly with the lights going off. To make matters worse, she had not pulled up the blinds since the lights were switched on.

But now, a big part of her wished she did.

Her eyes darted around as she made sense of what was going on. “h.e.l.lo,” she said in a low tone.

“Anyone in here?”

There was no response. Her breathing stilled as she tried her best not to make a sound.

‘Calm down. Bai Qing Mei, calm down.’ She urged herself inwardly.

Even with all the pep talks she did, her mind was still uneasy. Suddenly she felt the presence of someone else in the room as the figure stalked closer from behind.

She swallowed hard. Her free hand tried to get her phone in the dark but all she found was nothing.

“Hehehe hahaha…” The shrieking sound of painful frustratingly annoying laughter tore through the throat of the figure and rendered the silent atmosphere now noisy.

Instantly, Bai Qing Mei felt gooseb.u.mps rise on her skin. She closed her eyes, holding onto whatever hope she had while the eerie feeling she had in her room grew more and more.

“h.e.l.lo!” Her voice rang out loud and clear. She had hoped that in doing that, she would deter the person, scaring them away.

To her amazement, another evil laughter came off his lips again. This time she felt chills run down the length of her spine.

Before Bai Qing Mei could struggle for help once more, she felt a couple of long fingers rest on her right shoulder, adding more to her fear.

“Hey…” his raspy voice called in a less calm but teasing manner.

“W-Who,” Bai Qing Mei sighed with a shaky voice. She decided to try once more to help out with the thoughts and fear.

“Who are you?” Unlike the last where her voice was shaky, this time around it was clearer.

“I’m not afraid anymore. Come out and face me like a man, if you dare!” Bai Qing Mei threatened, ignoring the fast-beating pang she had in her heart.

“Is that the sorry thing you tell yourself or what your mother told you in her office to wasn’t true?”

She breathed finally, unable to cease her breath for much longer. Especially when he was so close to her body.

She could feel his warm breath tickle her skin from how close they were.

“Who are you? I mean it. Answer.”

“So that your stupid conscience shall be appeased? No. Stay away from Ye’s family. Understood?”

“Instead, I would crush them.”

“I see. Feisty huh, you would be good.”

He trailed his fingers from her shoulder to the side of her face, letting her feel his presence, even more, drawing in a deep breath to keep her brain where he wanted it to be.

“Obey or what you have coming to you next would be something your eyes may see but your lips cannot utter it,” he warned.

“But I…”

She immediately felt the presence that had been plaguing her brain suddenly disappear, leaving her as though what had transpired between them, didn’t just happen.

Swiftly, Bai Qing Mei turned around hoping to catch the culprit and scream but as soon she reached out her fingers caught hold of nothing.

“f.u.c.k you!” she cursed in a yell, hoping he would hear it no matter where he was.

After some seconds pa.s.sed by, she tried feeling around for her phone and as soon as she touched the device, her face lit up in relief.

Suddenly, the lights came back on. Her smile broadened as she looked around but did not find anyone.

However, she never expected the gift he had left for her.

Letting go of the squashed strawberry in her hand, she reached for the plate and cast her gaze down at her side, wanting to pick another fruit only for her eyes to land on the abomination.

One. Two. Three…

“Aaaahhhh!”
