Chapter 127 - A father's intervention.

Zheng Ren sighed as he looked at the stocked doc.u.ments on top of his desk. He skimmed through some papers and sighed one more time, realizing that he had to go through all of this. He got his pen at the side then got the paper and started signing them. It was all and well that he only had to skim through it since he had been doing the job for a lot of years. However, it was no longer entertaining to him as he would only sign them. 

As he was signing papers, suddenly he stopped writing his name midway. He felt something different in the air—as of something ominous is happening. He stood up slowly as he got a feel of the breeze around him. 

In their realm, Zheng Ren is also known as a powerful man with a great title so with his senses keen, he would already sense something unusual—like of his realm. Noticing their boss' change of mood, his assistant hesitantly walked up to him but got the courage to speak to him. 

"Is something the matter, Master?" Zheng Ren only shook his head. He looked at him with serious eyes, then with his low voice spoke to him, his voice echoing—resounding around and inside the room.

"Check on Yan Mei." 

"Yes, Sir." With the order given to him by their boss, the assistant contacted Shadow. They knew that he is with Yan Mei as of the moment so through the communicator that they both had, the assistant signaled, getting his attention. 

"Shadow, the Master, would want to know what is happening with Miss Yan right this moment," he asked, another voice at the other end replying to answer his 

"Well,…" he trailed off then he sighed a little then continued speaking. 

"She is in New York, inside a room," he briefly answered, making Zheng Ren's eyes flash towards his assistant. From where he is, he could clearly hear their conversation. He walked towards his assistant slowly, then when he was near him, spoke, in order to talk to Shadow. 

"What is she exactly doing now, Shadow?" 

Hearing his foreboding voice, Shadow gulped slightly but still answered their supreme master's question.

"I will look into it, Master." 

With that, their conversation ended for a moment. Shadow successfully infiltrated Edward Wu's mansion and the moment he did, he put a mask on to conceal his identity from Edward Wu. 

The moment footsteps echoed in the room, Edward Wu, who was trying his best to open the door instinctively turned back to see a masked man. "

"H-how the hell? Who are you and why are you inside!?"

Ignoring Edward Wu, Shadow pressed his ear against the door, then he heard the groans and wails of people inside as he heard Yan Mei's voice roaring like a lion. He clicked his tongue then further ignoring Edward Wu, he ran away then reported to Zheng Ren what is happening.

"You incompetent fools! You were called doctors for a reason and were given the profession! Did you have it with the intention to fail!?"

Remembering the words he had heard filled with venom earlier, a shiver ran along his spine.

"M-Master it seems Miss...she is torturing the doctors upon knowing about the death of her husband."

"What?" Zheng Ren's eyes turned deadpan as he gritted his teeth. 

His hands beside him turned into tight fists as he decided to come right there and then... In an instant. With alarm plastered on his face, he turned on his communicator again and talked in a rather rushed manner. 

"Where is she? Give me an address."

Shadow gave Zheng Ren the address.

In a blink of an eye, Zheng Ren disappeared from his office, surprising the assistant that was right in front of him. 

"What the—" Even though he was aware of their master's power, he still gets surprised every now and then since it is not a usual thing to happen in their realm. Zheng Ren appeared in the room where Yan Mei is.

She didn't notice him but when the doctors gasped, she instinctively looked back, her eyes wavering as she saw a powerful man in front of her. 

'Why is he here?!' 

"Yan Mei." He only said his name, but Yan Mei stopped for a while as Zheng Ren started assessing their surroundings. He saw blood on the floor and he saw the cuts and bruises on the doctors.

Zheng Ren's eyebrows furrowed as he wondered what had triggered her to act in such manner. When his eyes landed on Lei Zhao's lifeless body on the bed, the unsaid question had already been answered. 

He sighed, then he shook his head as he just stared at Yan Mei, silent. 

"Oh!" Yan Mei laughed as she c.o.c.ked her head to the side. 

"Have you come to join in the fun, father," she asked, her lips curling into a mischievous smirk. Her father, Zheng Ren frowned when he realized that his daughter Yan Mei had completely lost control of her sanity.

"XiaoMei," her father called out to her sternly, but there was still gentleness at the same time. 

"Stop. This isn't the right way to solve this." 

Hearing what her father Zheng Ren had said, irritation surged through Yan Mei, as if almost a vein had popped inside her head.

"No! It's their fault! They have to feel my despair! I will burry them and I—" 

"Enough!" Zheng Ren's deep voice resounded in the room. Even a loud speaker couldn't match up to it.

"Will you think, child!? You think the man who loves you would want you to do this for him?"

It had been a long time since she heard her father's voice. It was enough to slightly bring her to her senses. Her body trembled slightly as she embraced herself, trying to keep her from falling to her knees.

Yan Mei's strong upfront was suddenly shattered. Her strong walls fell apart, brick by brick, leaving her vulnerable. It was a complete contrast to how she was a while back.

Seeing how his daughter had slightly calmed down from her rage, Zheng Ran sighed as he walked up to her in two large strides then grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the room. He looked like a parent who was scolding his child. 

The only difference was that they were both a.d.u.l.ts now. The doctors looked at them for a fleeting moment. His physical features were unparalleled—almost out of this world. He was beyond handsome and when they realized that he had appeared suddenly in the room without even the door being opened, their mouths were suddenly agape. 

'How did he get here? No one had entered the room!'

The moment they had stepped out of the room, Edward Wu who was outside turned aghast.

"H-how did you get in here? Who are you?!" 

Ignoring his shock and question, Zheng Ren had let go of his daughter, making Yan Mei avoid his scolding gaze.

"If you stay in that room any longer, who knows if you'll ever go back to your sanity!" As curiosity hit Edward Wu's face, he put it aside at the moment as he stepped inside the room and saw the abused doctors.

Edward Wu stared at Yan Mei. A trace of light passed through his eyes as he saw the blood on the floor. The moment his eyes landed on his best friend's body, his lips started to tremble—a sudden wave of pain hitting his emotions. "L-Lei Zhao?"

He put his hand on his mouth to conceal his shock when suddenly; he felt a tap on his shoulder, surprising him more.

"Step aside, boy. Or you'll faint with what you'll see." It was enough for Edward Wu to feel that this man who had appeared is someone with great power. He subconsciously nodded slowly as he left the room, in a daze. 

"What the hell is happening in my mansion," he mumbled to himself and before he knew it, the door behind him had closed shut, leaving Zheng Ren inside with the other doctors. As Zheng Ren scanned them, the doctors cowered in fear once more as they felt that he is more powerful than the mad woman that was with them a while ago. 

"P-please let us go..."

"Yes," Zheng Ran instantly answered, a glint of hope appearing on the doctors' face. His hand suddenly had a light emanating from it, making their eyes widen. 

"I just have to heal everyone and after that, give you a... what do you call that?" He knelt down in front of the doctors then gave them a smile. "A selective amnesia."

The doctors' eyes widened in fear and they gulped, "After… that will you let us go?"

The head doctor who had suffered the most from Yan Mei's brutality asked as terror hammered n his chest.

"Of course." Zheng Ren said and offered them a smile. 

As he erased and healed the doctors one by one, they passed out, sleeping on the cold floor. When Zheng Ren's eyes landed on Lei Zhao's body, he strode slowly towards him and placed his hand on him and a smirk appeared on his face, a gleam of light passing through his eyes.

"Interesting."
