Chapter 229 - Dont call my wife (1/2)

The photo that the assistant brought was still on the floor. Wang Lu stared at it in a daze. He couldn't help his body trembling in fear, and he couldn't help his hands forming into tight fists.

He remembered that he had done what he could just for the man in the photo was dead. If the man in the photograph turned out to be him now, could that mean that all his efforts were in vain?

”G-get that photo away from me. Now!”

Wang Lu's voice started to stammer, but when he shouted his order at the assistant, his voice roared in the room, surprising him.

”Y-yes, Mr. Wang Lu.”

The assistant quickly picked up the photo from the floor and had put it inside the folder. He then gave his boss another bow as he exited his office, closing the door so he could leave him alone.

Wang Lu stood up from his seat. He then walked to and fro in his office as he frustratingly bit his lip, feeling uneasy with what he had heard from his assistant.

'If he is now stalking Yan Mei, could that mean that his life is in danger again?'

Wang Lu stopped in his tracks. His hands at the sides turned into tight fists as he remembered how Yan Mei was years ago.

*Flashback*

”Feng Mei.”

Wang Lu finally found her, but it was as if she was a completely different person.

When they had removed the cable ties that tied both of her wrists and ankles, they proceeded to remove the blindfold.

The moment they did, Wang Lu saw her lifeless eyes. He scanned her body and noticed the bruises on her.

Wang Lu's eyebrows furrowed. When he was about to reach out to her, Feng Mei reacted by fear.

”Go away! Stay back! Go away!”

She quickly crawled to the edge of the wall, embracing both of her knees. Tears uncontrollably started falling from her eyes, immediately staining her cheeks as it continuously flowed.

Wang Lu's heart broke when he saw Feng Mei act this way. It was as if she was a kitten beaten to death, fearing everything that may touch her.

Wang Lu then knelt as he extended his hands to carry her. But the moment Feng Mei was in his arms, she fought with all her might as she kept hitting his back, flailing both of his arms and legs for her release.

”Don't touch me, don't touch me... Don't touch me!!!!”

***

Remembering that even from the past, made Wang Lu's eyes water. He put his hand on his mouth as if to stifle his cry. He knew that he is at work, and he knew that people might come to visit his office at any moment.

But with the psycho coming into vision once more, how could he feel at ease?
