214 Where is your sister? (1/2)

Soon as Wang Reiji had stepped inside the unoccupied room, she quickly locked the door and went straight to the bathroom. She then started to unbutton the blouse she was wearing, revealing a black sleeveless catsuit. Checking herself in the mirror, Wang Reiji pulled her hair into a tight bun before fastening her thigh purse. When she was satisfied with her look, she walked out the bathroom and head to the living room.

”Hanzo, you know which room I am currently at right? I want you to play the CCTV footage in the TV.” Wang Reiji said as she spoke through the tiny communication device inserted inside her right ear.

”Okay, boss. Video will play in five seconds!”

Wang Reiji then turned on the television and once the five seconds were up, the footage taken from the CCTV played instantly.

Wang Reiji's eyes were glued to the television screen, not wanting to miss anything that might giver her a clue as to who the guy was. When the CCTV footage finally revealed the figure of the man, the temperature of Wang Reiji's body begun to drop.

'No! It cannot be him!' Wang Reiji screamed inwardly as she paused the footage and zoom out the figure of the man to have a better second look at him.

Her mind then stuttered as her pupils involuntarily expanded themselves. Just like the video on the television screen, Wang Reiji went on pause as her thought tried to catch up with what was being displayed on the monitor. Stunned, Wang Reiji almost forget how to breath as the image in front of her bounces around her brain.

”Shit! That's Zhang Chenric! How did he manage to sneak in?” Alas! Wang Reiji found her voice along with her wrath. She was so mad that Rentao and Hanzo started to feel uneasy. They were also too frightened to utter a single word.

”Hanzo, I want an update on his whereabouts as soon as possible! I am sure that he is still inside Oriental Europa. Rentao, do not leave table 10 and do not keep your eyes away from my daughter. Once we caught that assh*le we will get to the bottom of this!” Wang Reiji said with a serious expression on her face.

After giving out her orders, she then quickly prepared herself to leave the room. Before she stepped out her temporary hideout, Wang Reiji made sure her concealed carry pistol was fully loaded. She also calmed her head and heart down, not allowing her emotions to distract her from the sudden appearance of her daughter's father, her former lover.

”Boss, I found him. He is currently in the 13th floor, inside room 007. I am shutting down all exits in that floor. The only thing that can be used as entry and exit points is the right-wing elevator. I will temporarily disable the lock of the room so you can enter. Once you are inside boss, I will seal you and Prosecutor Zhang.” Hanzo clearly said as the fire exits of the 13th floor begun to close.

”13th floor? When I scanned the guest list, none of the rooms in the 13th floor was reserved under his name. Also, Oriental Europa required every guest to submit a copy of any national identification card in exchange of room confirmation email.” Wang Reiji said as she went out the room and headed towards the right-wing elevator.

”Please allow me to investigate on this, boss. Looks like Prosecutor Zhang was able to plant some people inside Oriental Europa. I will definitely check each employee and trace the mole.” Rentao said underneath his breath, careful not to be noticed by the occupants of table ten.

”Okay. I will leave it to you, then.” Wang Reiji replied, seemingly disappointed with what was happening. It seemed like Zhang Chenric was still as cunning as ever, still using underhanded tactics just to get what he wants.

'You want to play games with me, huh? Too bad, I am no longer the naïve girl I used to be!' Wang Reiji thought to herself as she got herself inside the elevator. And since Oriental Europa's system was under Hanzo's command, the elevator went straight up to 13th floor without stopping.

Ding!

The sound of elevator doors opening became Wang Reiji's cue to ready herself. When she was about to step her foot outside, all the reasons not to move from her spot came rushing in. She then started to have an unsettling feeling that can either grow or fade depending on the amount of her resolve.

'It is now or never.' Wang Reiji thought to herself. The day she had been dreading had finally come. Zhang Chenric had his eyes and interest aimed at Europa.

'If I will back down now, I still have to confront Chenric some other time. I have to face him now or I will probably suffer the consequences in the future.' Wang Reiji closed her eyes as she lifted her right foot and took the first step out the elevator. She then took another step and drew in courage.

However, her thoughts became hazy, she cannot think straight. She did not want to see his face or inhale his smell. She was afraid that once she came in contact with the man again, all the pain she carried with her might melt away once he touches her. Did it not take her a lot of determination to pull away from Zhang Chenric's kiss last time? And what held her back from breaking his neck when he cornered her in the ladies' restroom? How about when he almost kidnapped her? Why she did not seize those opportunities to put the man down?

”Are you hesitant to confront Zhang Chenric now? Please do not tell me that you still have feelings for that coward? Just because he wants to make amends now previous wrongdoings can thus be forgotten? If you cannot do it sis, I will gladly do it for you. I can just end that guy's life in one clean shot.”

Though he spoke with much gentleness and careful not to offend his dear sister, Wang Yuvin was not able to hide the dissatisfaction in his voice.

”Bro…” Wang Reiji whispered, her words barely taking flight. Though Wang Yuvin's tone was gentle, she was able to sense his irritation and dismay. She had known him since he was a young boy so she was already accustomed to Wang Yuvin's way of responding. He was calm but his words carried a powerful hit. Truthfully spoken, no drama.
