Chapter 06; Bang bang bang! open up this damn door....
He couldn't take it any longer, rage was threatening to erupt; this was his mother and he didn't want to fight with her.
As he marched out, he clutched his cardigan tightly in his hand, one could tell that he was almost at his limit.
"Stop right there...! Guards apprehend him..." Ma Yu Xi'an yelled loudly, alarming the guards.
The guards had him restrained before he could even walk out of the door, he struggled to loosen but the guards held him firmly.
"Mommmm...." He shouted out angrily, he turned to look at his mother, and their gazes met.
"Take him back to his room, lock the door and keep a close eye on him. " Man Yu Xi'an instructed.
" Moom... how can you do this to me?" he wondered, his eyes welling with tears threatening to fall.
"I know you want to go out to find that bitch, but how can I let that happen? I can't let my son be led astray by that vixen, take him upstairs." Ma Yu Xi'an snorted coldly.
" Mooommm... " he called again but the guards took him upstairs, opened his bedroom, and pushed him inside, before closing and locking the door.
The guards stood at the door, watching closely, Hong Feng slumped down on the floor, as tears streamed down his supple cheeks.
'how could she do this to me? why? why could she treat me like this?'
' haven't I always done whatever she wanted? why couldn't she let me have my way just this once? '
'Ting Ting, where could you be?? why could they treat you like this?? I promised to look out for you, but I still failed...., I failed you Ting Ting... ' he broke down as tears fell down his cheeks like a downpour.
He felt like many ants were gnawing at his heart, he felt an unbearable heartache, and he writhed down on the floor, his whole body clutched up in a fetal posture.
'I'm too weak to even protect myself, then how could I have protected you? ' he lamented pitifully.
As his head rested on his knees, he wrapped his arms around his legs, his back leaned against the door, he couldn't think straight, all he could think about was how he has broken all the promises he made to her.
Hong Ling was driven back to the Hong Corporation building by the chauffeur, where he alighted and took the private elevator to his office.
He sat down on his office chair, and turned on the television, as he picked up the files that have been lying idly on his office desk.
He turned to have a look at the television when he was surprised by the news being broadcasted, "Mr. Zhao Kang has termed everything as malicious rumors that his enemies are using to attack him, he professed that he has only one daughter Zhao Ming.
If you look at the pictures of Zhao Ming and the ones posted in the magazines, they are two different people, with no similarities whatsoever, so he has warned that anyone who spreads these rumors will be sued. That's all, Thank you for watching, Good Afternoon." The news anchor finished reporting.
"What a canning, witty man; he even sacrificed his own daughter for the sake of benefits and Zhao Corporation; he really is a ruthless, selfish man indeed, he didn't even flinch disowning his own daughter like that. " Hong Ling shook his head, not convinced that this was the best option and solution.
' He couldn't wait to discard his own daughter like some worn-out shoes, what a terrible father.' he thought loudly.
He turned off the television and began meticulously going through the files.
In the Zhao Corporation, Vice President's office, Zhao Bao couldn't sit down anymore, after staring out of the window for God knows how long, he stood up and left his office.
He approached the parking lot and got into his car as he drove away faster; he accelerated towards the sub-highway branching out to the Southern District, to arrive at Southern District Level Four Hospital will take him two hours or more, more so now it was 4 pm when the traffic was high.
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, as he stepped on the accelerator, he was nervous and unsure of what kind of news will be, he was a little sad.
' I shouldn't have done that!! what if she is not guilty but instead innocent? what if it was a ruse?? how could I believe everything written in the newspaper without further Investigations?'
'I don't deserve to be called an elder brother, I have let you down, I shouldn't have cast you and charged you like the way others did, we should have given you time to explain yourself.' he felt bitter deep down in his heart.
'Ting Ting, you could be alive, right?' he murmured as he accelerated, the more he thought, the more nervous he became, his knuckles had turned white from the tight grip, and you could hear his raging heartbeats, not knowing the possibilities he would find there.
He focused on driving despite experiencing a wide range of emotions swirling around him, this was his first time experiencing this kind of feeling, and didn't know if it was a good feeling or not.
In Hong Mansion, Hong Feng got a grip of his emotions, "Nooo... I can't just sit here and wait, I have to do something, I have to at least do something." he muttered as he stood up.
"Bang bang bang! open up this damn door." he struck it harder.
"Bang bang bang! I said, open up this damn door" he slammed the door hard, and the loud bangs echoed throughout the whole house.
