Chapter 217 - Protect you (1/2)
”Who do you think is in the video, Lei Zhao?”
The message from the video kept running in his thoughts as if it participated in a marathon. Lei Zhao knew that he was currently at work but with this in his mind, how could he ever focus?
His eyebrows furrowed as he got the disk from his PC. He blankly stared at it and wondered who could he ever know for him to receive such a package?
But then again, Lei Zhao is known in their country and even in other countries. There might be people who knew him and would want to threaten him, which is why he or she did this.
But who? And why?
Lei Zhao heaved a sigh. He clicked the buzzer on his desk for him to call his secretary. The moment he buzzer sounded on the secretary's desk, he immediately entered Lei Zhao's office, giving him a small bow to greet him.
”Yes, Mr. Lei Zhao?”
The man stood up from his chair, getting the disk on the table as he put it back on the case. He then walked to his secretary and gave him the CD case, stating his order to his secretary.
”Investigate the contents of this CD. Also, do what you can to determine who the sender was. Once you have any leads about the content or on who the person who sent this, inform me immediately.”
His secretary did a small bow, ”Understood.”
His secretary then left Lei Zhao alone in his office once more as he made way to process the work given to him. At the same moment, the phone of Lei Zhao rang, making the man get his phone on the table.
His eyes widened the moment he saw who the caller was. It was his wife, Yan Mei, his heart slightly jumping in delight and at the same time wonder because he was not expecting a call from her this morning.
He immediately answered the call and put it against his ear, speaking to greet his beloved wife.
”Wifey... what's wrong?”
”Lei Zhao...”
Lei Zhao's posture straightened when he noticed that there was fear and at the same time uneasiness in his wife's voice. His eyebrows furrowed a while. He wondered what was wrong to have made her call him at this time of day with worry in her voice.
”Yan Mei,” Lei Zhao sounded quite serious this time. ”What's wrong?”
”I-I got a message.”
Hearing Yan Mei speak like this--stammering on her words even, it had made Lei Zhao think if something suspicious happened to her, too.
”What did the message say?” Lei Zhao asked, trying his best to put the pieces together as if doing a jigsaw puzzle.
Lei Zhao also noticed that Yan Mei was doing her best to mask her fear and uneasiness. With him knowing his wife was feeling this way, it made Lei Zhao worry for her, too, wanting to protect her if there was someone who meant to stir things up between them.
It made him wonder if the sender meant to irk him--or her.
”The message. It said, 'Run kitty, run.'”
