Back in Caracas, Venezuela;
In a big empty conference room, Feng Shufen was sitting alone, working on some of the files in his laptop when suddenly Gao Fan gave a small knock at the door. Seeing his President giving nods in the acceptance of the request, he came sauntering in.
"President Feng, our men are keeping an eye on the base of Black Scorpion. Things seemed under control now but we cannot be sure yet". Gao Fan reported, extending the video on the tablet he had in his hand.
But the man showed no interest in watching the video. Like it never piqued any of his interest nerves. "Keep your eyes on them. I won't want the things to be repeated again even if that means abolishing them from their own turf".
"Yes, President! We won't let the mistake repeat again" Gao Fan said, giving a slight bow. "And also …" before his words could continue any further, a popping notification sound interrupted him. His words paused as he understood which person could reach President Feng here at this time. Some friendship would never depend on network connectivity to reach each other.
Feng Shufen stared at the screen of the laptop where the head of his clingy friend was popping up. The first call ended, but just when it ended, the second call entered and then the third and so on until Feng Shufen tiredly took the call. The moment the video was connected, a loud whining from the other side was heard.
"Feng Shufen, am I truly your friend? Just tell me straight. My heart is now paining because of your ignorance. I really could not take it anymore. So, tell me, am I or am I not?" Qi Shuai said, folding his hands arrogantly in the video.
The man stared at him, simply pressing his lips together. "You are not", he said and then moved to look at his secretary, gesturing to him to continue the words he has paused before.
But Gao Fan knew the things well too. The whiny person sitting on the other side of the video would not take those words easy. And not like President Feng was not expecting that coming. If he was not expecting it then the video call must have long disconnected. But since it was still connected, that only meant that President Feng loved teasing his friend to the worst.
And like he had expected, the moment Gao Fan opened his mouth to explain, Qi Shuai yelled accusingly from the other side. "You … You are really the kind of worst friend only I have. Hmph! I won't talk to you now. I will better disconnect the call and call my Sister – in – law. Only she has the motherly warmth that could comfort me now. Hmph!" he said, faking some tears and then pretentiously moving his fingers to disconnect the call.
"Disconnect the call now and I will disconnect your life" suddenly the warning rang and Qi Shuai suppressed the knowing smirk covering his lips. He really wanted to thank the Heavens for sending an angel like Li Xue in his Devil friend's life or else he would never have been awarded to see this loving side of him. Finally, the ice of Antarctica learnt how to melt in the fiery passionate fire of love.
Looking at his friend and feigning all nonchalant innocence at the scene, Qi Shuai said, "Why? Why should I keep calling you? Didn't you say that I am not your friend? Since I am all hurt now, I will just go to my Sister – in – law and complain. Then she would comfort me for better".
"She has much better things to do. You better not disturb her" Feng Shufen simply said as his eyes looked at Gao Fan to go out till he finished the call with his friend. The secretary nodded exactly understanding the orders that were wordlessly delivered to him and then left the room.
When left alone, Feng Shufen disinterestedly looked at the screen as he fairly asked, "You have been talking to her. How is she now?" Before leaving the country, he kept Qi Shuai back, not because he was weak and could not accompany him to Caracas but for keeping a good and safe eye on his family there. Except for Shufen, only Qi Shuai knew the ways with which the bodyguards could be guided well.
"You left after fighting with her and also without informing her. Furthermore, right now you are unreachable. What do you think my Sister – in – law would be like? Don't you fear that she might get burdened thinking about you too much and will leave you for good?" Qi Shuai said, not thinking about his words much. But the moment his eyes caught the freezing glares of his friend, he realized the misspelt words of his.
Coughing lightly, he quickly added, "Don't take me wrong, but what I said is normal between the mortal couples. But then how can I take the Devil and Kalon to be a normal couple?" Surrendering his shaking hands up in the air, he apologized, "I apologize, my bad! I am sorry. You both as the couple are nowhere the same. No matter how up and down you both go, you will always live all happily and lovingly. I bless you with my best wishes."
Right when he said, a knock interjected, interrupting them as Gao Fan came in with some urgency. "Sorry for disturbing your talks, President Feng. But this is important".
Feng Shufen looked at him and then nodded. The secretary came, sauntering in with some emergency as he said, "Earlier, a man of Black Scorpion came to deliver this. He said that it is some interesting welcome gift for you and has prepared, keeping your interest in mind." He said, extending a box at the front. "We have already given a security check to this. There is nothing explosive in it, but we still fear that he may …"
"Open it!" Feng Shufen commanded as his eyes sharply stared at the well-packed box in front of him and the secretary nodded to the order in the instant.
