Chapter 40 - Cause.

Tang Chunlan shook her head. "I want to know more about what they plan to do Jihai."

Tamara made an exasperated sigh. "We don't have much time! I intercepted your soul before the angel of death arrived. We need to get you back into your body before its gets here or Father will punish me."

Chunlan wanted to argue but all words ceased in her mouth as she spotted an ominous shadow in the hall with black fumes surrounding it .

Tamara's eyes widened. "We need to go now." She waved her hands, making Chunlan disappear as she faded under the lights.

The shadow finally approached her, gliding through the hall in fast speed that made her hair sway slightly. She felt her body stiffen when she felt the chill of death before her.

The creature bowed his head. "Greetings, Goddess."

Tamara raised her chin in a haughty manner. "What brings you here?"

The creature made a screeching noise as its answered. "Work."

Tamara knew it was annoyed as it never liked to socialize and was always busy. "Well, carry on."

The creature bowed its head and continued to walk, searching for the soul that it was ȧssigned to pick up. It was a little confused as it was yet to see the soul it was looking for.

Meanwhile, the doctors had just finished doing their rounds as they examined the patient, Chunlan. They meticulously checked her heartbeat, cleaned her wounds and wrapped them.

The head doctor wiped the sweat on his forehead as he sighed. Ever since this patient was admitted into this hospital, the stench of danger and death had increased. Men who looked and surely killed like cold blooded ȧssassins were walking in the hospital, like it was their home!

The highlight of the day was when the head of the six families, Tang Huizhong came into an exclusive board meeting and threatened to make the chairman of the hospital accompany his beloved daughter to the other world if she doesn't wake up in three days!

The doctors silently prayed from their lives since this was the third day. They kept staring at her unconscious body as if it could invoke life into her. The hard sounds of boots marching outside the door reminded them that once the clock strikes six in the evening, they would be meeting their ancestors.

Finally, after much deliberation and inspection they decided to write a letter to their families since there was no progress. A female doctor had already broken down on the floor, crying loudly. She really didn't want to die like this. She had just gotten a fiancee last month and she was really looking forward to her wedding.

The leader's hard eyes scanned the room before he said "Take them."

The men grabbed the doctors who were screaming and shouting, some were even crying like babies out of the hospital and drove them to a secluded place.

The doctors were asked to kneel as they saw their chairman arguing heatedly with a man.

"Huizhong! What you are doing is a violation of basic human rights! You won't escape retribution!" The chairman said with an air of righteous indignation.

Huizhong scoffed. "You are only complaining because you think you are a human being. Allow me to correct that." He looked at a guard. "Smash his brain."

The man paled.

Haifeng who stood quietly behind her husband wished that she could stay in the car with her two daughters realizing that it was reaching a point of no return. Huizhong had always insisted that she accompanied him on these type of work, claiming that as the Madam of the Tang family her duty doesn't lie on domestic activities only.

She frowned as she felt the begging eyes of the doctors on her. Her soft heart wavered as she tagged her husband's sleeves, earning his attention. "Huizhong, I am sure they tried their best. Some things are decided by fate, don't overdo it." She whispered.

Huizhong turned his stern eyes to reprimand her. "I don't care. I don't go back on my word. Let them just follow Lan'er to the other world so she won't feel lonely, huh?"

Haifeng closed her eyes tightly in guilt.

"WAIT!"

The voice reverberated across the room as Chunying ran into the room, her face frozen in shock as she saw the guns.

Huizhong growled, making the guards hide the large guns behind their backs, a little anxious.

"Ying'er, what is it? Didn't I not say to wait in the car?" Haifeng scolded her.

"Mom.........Jie Jie is awake."
