Chapter 348 - A patient Dog eats the fattest bone

The month of December is the driest month in City B, with rainfall barely being experienced for two days and the rain gauge collecting only 2.5mm (0.1") on average throughout the entire month.

The weather is cold and freezing, with temperatures falling as low as -15°C (5°F) at night. The lowest temperature averages -7°C (19.4°F), while the highest read 3°C (37.4°F) on average. With a low humidity of 25%, December marks one of the peak winter months but still sunny and bearable with the sun up for up to nine hours per day on average.

Festivities and cultural events are held indoors, but a walk to view nature and watch the snow that occasionally comes is breathtaking. It makes a perfect time to go site seeing and visiting historical sites as crowds are minimal - most people leave for warmer cities to evade the cold.

On this day in the month of December, a woman somewhere outside of City B and Country C is enraged. Although her face can't be seen, the aura she was emitting was enough to tell how furious she was.

A man with a hideous look reported something that enraged her.

"When did this happen for you to inform me now?!." She asked sharply in a cold voice.

"Few weeks ago." The man reported with his head lowered.

"Did you say few weeks ago? Are you aware of how many hours there are in a week for you to use the word few on weeks? There is more than, three hundred and thirty-six plus (336+) hours from two weeks and above. So tell me, how few is this your weeks?!." The woman asked in an authoritative tone.

The man was silent with his head bowed, not even attempting to say anything or move a muscle.

"Oh! let me guess, you don't even know. Fool!." The woman cursed angrily as she kicked the basket chair beside her. 

Now with her actions, a part of her face can be see. You can see from her side view that the makeup on her face was too thick. Probably, her face may not be recognizable if the makeup is wiped out from her face.

The woman went back to her previous position, hiding her face away from the ray of light.

"Look at me you scoundrel! You can't even discipline your underlings, then what makes you a good leader with an example?."

"What about that bastard that ruined my plans? Now he ruined my plans, Michael will keep a tight watch on his dearest wife, and any move we make after that, we will be like the unfortunate fishes, caught in his nest." The woman said before taking a sit. She crossed her legs and picked up a glass of wine from the side.

"Mr. Gu has been taken care of by the other people." The man reported with his head raise.

The other people he meant was the Chen Family.

"What a foolish human. He couldn't even do his job well, and instead got caught in the process. Now he is resting in prison, leaving us with a big headache to deal with his mess". The woman scoffed as she downed the half glass of wine at one go.

The man immediately reached out to pour more wine for her before going back to stand in his previous position.

The woman had plans to deal with Chen Lihua, but Mr. Gu came into the picture to abduct Chen Lihua, but his plans were foiled, and instead exposed him. Now with this incident, Liu Longwei will keep a tight watch on Chen Lihua, making it difficult for anyone to attack her. But if they insisted on attacking her, they would definitely fall into a laid up trap.

The woman sighed as she took a sip from her wine glass. "We have to be patient and wait for a few years for Michael to relax his vigilance. If possible, help him get rid of his household enemies, I want him to be well relaxed, so he wouldn't know when, how, why and where trouble would come for him. A patient dog eats the fattest bone."

She took another sip from her wine glass before she continued. "That stupid Doctor that is troubling Chen Lihua, if he becomes too troublesome, get rid of him. The man is an Old fool, he needs to go and join his ancestors. But in whatever you are doing, be extremely careful and cautious in order not arouse Michael's suspicion."

"Yes Mistress." The man replied obediently as he bowed his head.

"Good! You can leave now." The woman said as she waved her hand.

The man hesitated for a little while as he still had another disturbing matter to report.

"Yes?." The woman asked him in annoyance.

"Mistress i still have another matter to report." The man announced with his head lowered.

"Then out with it, i don't have a lot of time to spend listening to nonsense reports all day." The woman said as she continued taking sips after sips from her wine glass.

The man reported in a lowered voice. "One of the men we sent to Country C sent a drone to survey Mr. Lu's house, but the drone was immediately take down by Mr. Lu's men before it could record anything meaningful."

The woman immediately spilled back the wine in her mouth back into the wine glass in her hand as she stared at the man in shock.

"You said what?!." The woman asked sharply as she slowly stood to her feet.

The man still had his head lowered as he repeated his words.

"Raise your head so I can take a look at that hideous face of yours." The woman commanded as she stepped in front of him with her side profile in view due to the ray of light in the room.

The man did as commanded, and immediately he received a resounding slap on his cheek.

"This slap is so you know how to direct your anger properly on that bloody psychopath, without mercy. I want to see his head, do it neatly. And apply some moisturixing cream on your face, it is too hard for me to slap. See, my palm is now red, and it hurts." The woman said without a care in her voice as she displayed her right palm for him to see how red her palm had become.

"Forgive me Mistress." The man apologized with his head lowered.

"Forget it, what you should do to make me forgive you, is if you do exactly as I command you. I want to see that stupid he-goat's head in two days time. But till then I am still angry. That reminds me, get me things to vent my anger on, till that day." The woman commanded before going back to her seat.

"Yes Mistress." The man said in bass voice as he bowed before leaving the room.
