15 Love or Life? 15

"Head-maid Khan, what happened to Guess Xi? Is she alright?"

'Guess Xi, your head!'

As far as Xi Sheng observes, there are five types of people working here. First, those men clad in black but they're probably use exclusively by the higher ups. Second, the patrolling and guarding team, they're the one that patrols the area and guards each and every cell. Third, the staffs that are generally attending the patients' needs. Fourth, the maids; they cook food and give it to the staff that will serve the patients, clean the facilities, do the laundry and other works that typical maids would do. Fifth, the torture---ahem, the psychiatrists led by Mu Ziyu.

When one of the employees asks her, Xi Sheng only ignored her. Her head bowing down, not even letting anyone see her face; only her brownish mole waves into their faces.

Xi Sheng maneuvered the service cart and avoided the patrolling men.

The men in white uniforms bow their head at her. In return... She didn't return anything--just ignoring them straight.

The service cart slows down as Xi Sheng's eyes memorized the map plastered on a certain wall. Her eyes searching for the word 'kitchen.'

As she was doing so, the nearby employees cannot help but to whisper between each others.

Staff A, lowers her voice:"Look, just because she got assigned to serve Master Mu, her head's getting bigger and filled with arrogance."

Staff B, who got a louder voice:"She's always aloof, but when met with important people, she's the first one to volunteer to lick the sole of their shoes."

Staff A sniggers:"Simply shameless."

Staff B snorts:"Heh, maybe her nasty mole let's the important people remember her easily. It's quite iconic."

Staff A and B laugh obnoxiously.

The man in white leading his group of men glances at the gossiping employees.

Feeling his gaze, the two quietened down and left the place.

The man shakes his head and stares at Khan who was slowly driving the service cart.

'Inferior maids. She might not look like it, but she was once a member of the Death Squad.'

He turns his back and continues the patrolling.

After finding the word she's searching for, Xi Sheng made a detour and followed the path that was stated on the map.

....

Maid A notices the wound in Xi Sheng's hand:"Head Khan, did Guest Xi made trouble for you?"

Xi Sheng only shakes her head.

"Aunt visits her."

Maid B:"Don't worry hehe. Guest Xi won't be able to trouble you for a while."

It was precisely these two women that accompanied Khan in serving the food.

Maid A, suspiciously asks:"Did you do something?"

Maid B, proudly lifts her chin and said:"I added a soporific pill in her drinks that quickly dissolves!"

Maid A, pretends to be angry:"You idiot! You said that was vitamin pill!"

Maid B:"Hmp, that Guess Xi spells trouble. I just took a special countermeasure. Isn't a blessing in disguise? She would fell asleep and won't feel the menstrual pain!"

Maid A:"What if Master Mu finds out about this?"

Maid B panics:"Head Khan will definitely protect me!"

Xi Sheng watch as the two of them made a scene.

So that's why this woman smiled terribly at her earlier.

Maid A is much more older with her scheming and vicious eyes.

While Maid B, her daughter, is quite childish and arrogant.

Base on their statement and treatment, Xi Sheng could deduce that this pair of mother-daughter has no good intentions. The mother schemes on Khan, while the daughter did the deed. How shrewd.

Xi Sheng shakes them off:"It doesn't matter. I'm going to eat."

The pair notice that Khan is much more silent and unresponsive. She bows her head even more and her backs slumps down like a hunchback. They shrug it off, maybe she offended Guest Xi. That thought put a smile on their face.

....

Meanwhile, gazing upon the sky, Xi Anran lied in his bed lifelessly.

The door opened and the person bows down in deep respect:"Young Master Xi, we have already seized them up."

Xi Anran didn't look at the person but from hearing his report, his eyes became frozen and ruthlessness flashed in.

"Where?"

The man wipes his sweat and answers:"At the old building site. Two kilometers away from the hospital."

"Your name and origin?"

"Xi Clan's main branch;Butler Qin's second son, Qin Song."

Xi Anran spent less than a minute and commanded the person to take him there.

"Before leaving, order the others to not let anyone enter the room. And I have never left the room. Erase the footages of me leaving."

The person nodded and did what he said.

In an old and dilapidated building, fortysomething were gathered up. The place was inconspicuous, and few people use this as a route.

Among the forty-or-so, ten were kneeling and almost beaten to death.

"Let us go! We work for the Xi's! All of you will face death if you don't let us go!"

There were bruises on the man's face, and his abdomen is leaking blood. Probably from a gunshot.

The man shouted loudly while the others joined him in threatening the group who assaulted them.

A cold and vicious voice suddenly speaks up: "Oh? How come I never remember that you work for us?"

The man kneeling down widened his eyes:"Young Master Xi!"

Xi Anran was given a mahogany seat, he sat while giving a gloomy energy.

"Tell me, what is your name again?"

The ragged man quickly replies:"Five! I am Captain Five! Junior associate of Captain Seven!"

Xi Anran narrowed his eyes with resentment:"If you confess now, I will think about sparing you."

But Captain Five acted like he didn't understand what was happening, but deep inside, he's already cursing the brat in front of him.

Xi Anran asks without friendliness:"Anyone who would like to spill the beans?"

Seeing that Captain Five and his team have no motive to talk, Xi Anran took the gun swiftly from the man guarding him.

Bang! Bang!

The men who were held back thought that the bullet would pierce them.

Qin Song shouted:"Young Master Xi! Please give back the gun!"

'This young master is scaryyy...'

But Xi Anran paid no heed to his plea, he focuses the muzzle on Captain Five's temple.

"Speak. Where is my sister and what happened to Seven's team?"

But Captain Five and his team are all stubborn.

Xi Anran almost went berserk and was itching to fire a hole in someone's head.

Qin Song was nervous that Xi Anran will touch the trigger.

My ancestor! My father would kill me if he knew that I let you tarnish your hand!

Xi Anran gives back the gun and tries to calm himself.

His eyes are turning murderous, and his head is already killing him in pain.

'If something happens to my sister...' No! He couldn't think about it.

He clears his throat, his voice still trembling from anger:"What did you say when you first met my sister?"

Captain Five thought for a moment:" I am Captain Five, Captain Seven's junior associate. Captain Seven and his team were called back by the clan."

After hearing his answer, Xi Anran laughs like a madman. The bodyguards are all nervous because of this.

"Qin Song!"

Qin Song was already profusely sweating, being called randomly, his heart was beating so fast:"Here!"

"Tell me, which kind of Captain crap is he talking about? What motherfucker is junior associate?"

Bodyguards:"..." He's super-duper angry!

Qin Song:"..." How am I supposed to answer this?

Captain Five and his team gulp several times as they saw the ferocious look on the young man.

"Cough! There is no such thing as Captain, even more-- a junior associate. Xi Clan's called the leader of the guards as 'Head -of-the guards.' Junior associate? That's bullshit. Who would introduce themselves with that description when 'junior associate' means inferior and weak in Xi Clan's terminologies? And how could the assigned guards be called back when they're not dismissed by their master or mistress?"

After hearing Qin Song's explanation, Captain Five and his team turned pale.

"When Xi Clan was ensnared with chaos, you slipped in. When Seven and his team mysteriously vanish, you filled that spot right away and thought since Xi Family has no way to affirm the sudden change in guards, you all gloated. But you thought all wrong..."

Xi Clan was caught in dilemmas, even so, they still care for the younger generations so the head-of -the-guards are the messengers that reports their situations.

When the reports suddenly stops, the Xi Clan became suspicious, but problems arose quickly so they can only give the details to Xi Sheng.

But Xi Sheng didn't give any findings for two days. Not even a confirmation. So, they sent Qin Song and a new set of bodyguards to use. This time, the amount of the guards is doubled.

"I'll give you one more time. If you don't speak now, don't blame me for being inhuman."

Being threatened and busted at the same time, one of the members shouted in agony:"I'll confess! I'll confess!"

Five quickly look at that person while gritting his teeth.

One after another pleaded their life in return of the information.

Five was the only one left.

'Idiots! Do you all think that they will really let you go?! Fools!'

But after being pressured for so long, Five also gave in.

Xi Anran was still cautious:"Prepare individual interrogation and match their statements. I want the result after an hour."

Qin Song, whose smile already turned stiff:"Affirmative." An hour?! Are you serious?!

Before leaving, Xi Anran also said:"After knowing the perpetrator, measure if our current power is enough. If not, head back to the clan and asks for more manpower. Do you know any trustworthy policeman?"

Qin Song nodded.

Xi Anran added:"Contact him and gather more in the authorities but stay hidden. Don't spread the information too wide."

Xi Anran left and went back to the hospital like nothing happened.

Storms are not only brewing in his eyes, the blue sky earlier is now enshrouded in a thick and gray clouds.
