Chapter 148 - I Remember What Happened That Year...

''Besides accepting orders, these people have no use. It has been a while since I had a hearty chat with someone. But, I know you wouldn't be here if you didn't need anything. Tell me, what do you want this old man to do for you?''

''Someone is messing with my wife. My brother told me to let us handle the issue with care. But, if I still don't teach that person a lesson, I wouldn't be able to face my wife''

''Who is this unlucky fellow? Tell me. What do you need me to do?''

''This is his picture; this is the address of the place. I want to see this on the news tomorrow''

''This person must have really made you angry. You usually listen to your brother very well… wait. Did you just say your brother? Thomas? Did he return from the dead? How is this even possible?'' the man seemed hilariously serious. He was a little baffled too.

Mikael chuckled. ''For someone who is a thug leader and well informed I am shaking my head and doubting your intel right now. Thomas is alive''

''Oh My God! How did this escape my eyes?'' The man yelled and hit the face of one of the guards near him.

''I want a clean job done''

''Don't worry. Get a can of beer and some popcorn. Eat it while you watch the news tomorrow''

''Who drinks beer with popcorn? You have such poor taste. I'm leaving uncle Joe'' Mikael stood up.

''Wait! Is Thomas well? How did he react to the news of you marrying his wife?''

''He was defeated by me, what else can he do about it. Don't worry, our connections run deeper than that. Did you think we were going to kill ourselves? What era are we?''

''Well, anyways, it's good to see that you two are doing well. Your father will be very proud of you''

''Make sure you do a good job uncle Joe. The owner of that building is responsible for the death of your brother''

Joe Sun smirked but his gaze turned cold when he turned to pick the picture of Daniel Song. He looked at the picture for a while and called his trusted aides.

''Gather everyone here for an important information''

Uncle Joe as everyone called him was an outcast from the moment he became a teenager. He was a rebel at heart and did whatever he wanted. He taught Mikael a lot of the things he knew right now. He was the leader of a famous thug group in City X but usually operated behind the scenes.

…..

Next day.

Song Family House.

''Mom, let's go and visit sister after my meeting with Director Fu. I heard that sister has regained consciousness'' Mimi said as she ate her food.

''My schedule is full. Natalie just regained consciousness, she shouldn't be disturbed. Just focus on your own things, Mimi'' Solace said calmly. She shifted her gaze to Daniel when his phone started ringing.

''Hello… what?'' Daniel stood up at once.

''Dad, what is wrong?''

Daniel turned and went to the TV. He picked the remote and turned it on.

''This is Breaking News. The warehouse of the Song Pharmaceuticals caught fire early hours of this morning. The fire spread wildly and burnt every equipment in the warehouse including the main power plant and…''

''How is this possible?'' Mimi asked speechless. Daniel turned to look at Solace before he picked his blazer and hurried out of the house.

''Mom, this… daddy's company caught fire'' Mimi turned to Solace.

Solace didn't bother to give her a reply. She simply turned and went into their bedroom.

….

Sun Family House.

Thomas' room.

Looking at the information he just received, Thomas sighed. ''Mikael Sun! he never listens'' he shook his head and turned, leaving the room.

….

Song Pharmaceuticals.

''How did this happen? What were the security guards doing when the fire started?'' Daniel yelled at the people in charge of the warehouse.

''Mr. Song, we are still unable to identify the actual source of the fire. It happened so suddenly, so the security couldn't do anything about it. By the time they called the fire service and they got here, everything was already destroyed'' the man in charge started to explain the situation but it didn't help.

Daniel Song was beyond devastated. He was so angry that he could almost vomit out blood. Seeing the reporters walking towards him the moment he got down from the car, he yelled at them.

''Get out of my property right now. Do you think I have the time and energy to give out interviews?''

The reporters stepped back when they saw how ugly his face had turned. But that didn't stop Xia who was behind the other reporters to step forward and ask him a question.

''Mr. Song is venting out on we the poor reporters. We are just doing our job''

Daniel Song stopped and turned to look at her. Xia pushed the reporters aside and stood boldly in front of Daniel Song.

''The fire today seemed very mysterious. Does Mr. Song have enemies who are out to get him or… did karma started to pay you back?'' Xia asked again.

''What?'' Daniel chuckled and stepped closer, ''Reporter… Kim, right? You shouldn't speak without evidence. Aren't you afraid that I might sue you and your little company for defamation?''

''Is Mr. Song now resulting to threats in order to calm himself? Well, if I were you I wouldn't be so calm after my company is now ashes. But, Mr. Song shouldn't threaten a reporter in front of a lot of people. Especially if that reporter knows so much about his family''

Daniel chuckled and leaned closer to Xia's ear. He said to her. ''Don't think that I won't be able to get rid of you just because Connor has taken a fancy to you. It is easy to get rid of you''

After saying that he stepped back and walked away. Xia looked at him and smirked. She turned and walked away to her car.

….

First Hospital.

Private ward.

''Sister, eat this braised pork. Mikael bought them from your favourite restaurant'' Alice said as she fed Natalie the food that Mikael brought.

Natalie smiled and took the food into her mouth. She looked at the couch at Mikael and Thomas whom were engaged in a heated argument. Mikael was holding a lighter and continuously played with it. He kept opening and closing it.

''Why did you do that? Don't even lie to me. I know you have a hand in what happened'' Thomas said to Mikael.

''I was angry and needed an outlet to vent out. It just happened to be his warehouse this time''

Thomas sighed. ''You are so stubborn. I shouldn't have let you out of my sight. When you agreed to not do anything, I was a little scared''

''Brother, I am going to be even more reckless towards that man. If the law is so weak to deal with him, then I will do it in my own way''

''You must take Natalie into consideration. You can't afford to be so reckless when we don't even know what the enemy wants from her. Mikael, please, don't do anything like this again. I will let it go but that is because I find it so satisfying…'' Thomas started laughing.

Mikael looked at him and smiled. ''Don't worry, he will never be able to know how the fire started or who is behind it. After all, he doesn't have evidence'' Mikael joined in to laugh.

''Hey, sister. Why do I feel that you married into a family of psychopaths? Just now they were arguing but now they are laughing''

Natalie smiled. ''Tell me, what happened to Song Group?''

''Right, I forgot to tell you. Apparently, Song Pharmaceuticals warehouse caught fire and everything got burnt. The entire building is unrecognisable now. I watched the news and Daniel Song was so furious. He is dying of anger''

''I see''

''Sister, you still haven't told us what happened between you and Daniel Song. Andrea said that you would likely go into relapse but seeing how you are eating; I feel that you are doing better since waking up earlier in the morning''

''Alice, I remember what happened five years ago. That year I disappeared''

''What? You've regained your memories?'' Alice stood up and asked in a loud voice.

Mikael and Thomas stood up at once and turned towards them.

Natalie looked at them and nodded her head.

''When did you find out that you could remember?'' Mikael asked as he went closer to stand next to her.

''Last night, when I regained consciousness. I don't know how it happened but I just remember clearly what happened, how it happened and who caused it. But, I only remember who kidnapped me but my mind is still hazy. I don't remember clearly the things that happened…''

''You don't need to rush. I believe that with time you will be able to recall all the memories that you lost. Don't be in a hurry, Natalie'' Mikeal touched her hair gently.

''Mm. Mikael, I know you are the one behind the fire but don't do something so risky like this next time. I know that you did it to get justice for me but it is still risky. I don't want to lose my husband because of something stupid''
