Yue Shenlong bought Han Lingshi to the underground dungeon in the mansion where Maria was held hostage. They did not harm her, but they had tied her up and left her to sit there. To make sure that she was overcome with a sense of helplessness, Yue Shenlong had ordered the guards to leave her with just her undergarments.
Han Lingshi and Yue Shenlong stood outside a white room. This room was covered with cushions as if a psychological hold to prevent people from hurting themselves. However, every inch of the room was monitored by mini cameras.
Han Lingshi saw the situation inside the room on a big monitor. Maria was sitting huddled up in a corner with her head buried in her knees. Yue Shenlong asked, "What do you have in mind? Should I get them to open the door for you?"
The lady shook her head and said, "Feed her thrice a day even if you have to do it at the gun point. She must stay healthy for the coming days."
Yue Shenlong sighed as he agreed. Han Lingshi then said, "I will go back to handle her disappearance."
The young man said, "File a complaint with the Jade City police. They will not find anything."
Han Lingshi nodded, and said, "I know what I have to do, tell Aunty that I will come back in a month. Then I will have a good meal."
Yue Shenlong nodded and then the two of them left the place. Han Lingshi did not want to confront Maria, the anguish of thinking about who wanted to harm her would make her go crazy. She wanted him to go crazy, so that she spills out everything that she has on Han Yuntian to save herself from solitary confinement.
...
Hao Ren did not care where Han Lingshi kept Maria, or how she got her in the first place. He knew that she was rich, so it was obvious that she must have connections that could help her achieve this. Also, he did not want to look too deep into the situation because she was his wife.
She had a life and side that he did not know much about and to be honest he did not care or mind it. Because one thing that Hao Ren had realized in all his years of being average that the strong never showed mercy to anyone.
Hao Ren was laying in the bed, he was silently gazing at the ceiling. He said, "Xiao Mei, do you think it can be done?"
The AI replied, "Yes, Boss, it can be done. The bot will cover all the key points that you mentioned and I have optimized the functionality by keeping the design ergonomic."
Hao Ren thought about it and said, "Could you make it so that the bot can hold basic communications and provide simple information about temperature and important events on the calendar?"
Xiao Mei answered, "Yes, it can be done as such. The design is ready, it would take a few minutes for me to render the prototype."
The people took a deep breath and just when they were about to look at the young man, they heard a loud clatter. Glass fragments spread all over the floor, and they saw their boss wailing in pain as blood poured off his forehead.
The others were scared, and they saw Han Yuntian running over and pinning their boss under his knee and then he started punching his face as he yelled, "Useless pieces of shit!! Shit!! Die! You are not worth living!"
He kept on cursing and he kept on beating the man. None of the people had the guts to stop him from doing this. He did not stop until his face was stained with drops of blood. A deep voice sounded from the entrance of the room, "Yuntian, how many times have I told you to not take such things personally? We only need one chance to take her life, while she needs many to avoid death.
Why do you get so agitated?"
Han Yuntian turned to look at the man who came in and yelled, "What the fuck do you mean? Should I let these pigs walk out alive and get caught by the police? They crashed a wrong car, and even then they failed to kill anyone."
The middle-aged man walked up to him and said, "Son, you need to know that everything happens at a good time. Forget it, and relax for the time being. We will get another chance to kill her."
Han Yuntian looked at the person but did not say anything more. He was frustrated that Hao Ren survived the car crash, he knew about him marrying Han Lingshi, Maria told him, however, he did not have a single evidence of the marriage. He sighed when he thought about this and said, "That bitch Maria is also not responding to the calls. I wonder whom is she fucking with."
The middle-aged man did not say anything and sat down on a chair silently. He said, "Steven, deal with these men and pay ten million dollars as compensation to their families."
Steven nodded, he was the bodyguard and also the headsman for Han Yuntian. The men did not even get the chance to scream or beg for mercy when Steven slashed their throats.
Han Yuntian was vicious, and he did not mind killing people. The middle-aged man said, "You know, Xiao Ling has talked to father about you. The old man has scolded me, so don't make any moves at the moment. Let this calm down. Even if she lives a few months, it won't make much of a difference."
Han Yuntian clenched his fist. He was like a dirty insect that wanted to bite the hand that gave him support. He took a deep breath and then said, "Fine."
...
Hao Ren had just sent off Han Lingshi and said, "Xiao Mei, I want to know everything about Han Yuntian, and his actions. Everything from this moment till I kill him."
Xiao Mei replied, "Okay, Boss. By the way, I have been wanting to tell you, Boss, you are very mean and vicious."
Hao Ren was stunned and chuckled as he said, "The entire world is mean and vicious when it comes to something that benefits themselves."
