Chapter 238 - SWAT THE FLIES (1/2)

Zhong Feng could not settle down when he returned to the Area 99 villa. Every detail of the video was already etched in his mind. He fidgeted uncharacteristically as he sat at his home office desk. His finger tapped on the hardwood like a ticking bomb.

Though his body was not still, his mind had a strange calmness as he analysed the situation. He was evaluating every aspect and determining the best course of action. ​​

If Song Lili had some incriminating material on him, he would not care about its release. But he would never let go of anyone who threatened Xiao Lei. He had already been polite enough with Song Lili because of his mother.

However, she had crossed a line, and it would cost her everything. He did not want her to be seen again in Supreme City. She would only be an eyesore to Hu Lei.

He dialled a number and spoke some curt instructions to a person on the other end of the line. When he hung up, he clutched his phone in his hand. He remembered the pained screams from Hu Lei in that video. He had already known about the incident. But seeing what had occurred, hearing it… His heart hurt.

After a few moments, he managed to suppress his emotions and then made another call.

”Hello, my darling.” A teasing voice came through.

Zhong Feng smiled despite his poor mood. She was always the light and the warmth that made everything in his life worthwhile. He could not remember how he had lived his life before he knew her.

”You are in a great mood.” It was both a statement and a question.

”Of course, I have been getting much better which means that I am much closer to returning to you. It seems like if I stay away for long, you might be stolen from me.” There was a hint of pouting at the end.

Zhong Feng mood became even better. He liked it when Hu Lei acted spoilt with him. ”I cannot help that I am handsome.” He indulged her.

”Who told you that? Let me tell you. I am more valuable than you. If people knew my true worth, they would be breaking down doors.” She said with a huff.

Zhong Feng lamented that it was indeed the truth. She was too valuable, and that is why so many people were after her. He wanted her to be as extraordinary as she was, but he could not help but worry about the dangers.

”Yes, yes, you are the most amazing.” He chuckled softly.

”Now tell me, why are you in a bad mood?” She asked.

Zhong Feng sighed at being exposed, but he did not want to affect her by telling her about the issue with the video. ”It's nothing much. It is just a couple of flies hovering.”

”Then, you should just swat them away.” Hu Lei giggled. She knew that it was probably something a little more serious, but Zhong Feng would not tell her. In any case, she would return soon. She was already at a critical point in her treatment.

”Don't worry. Nothing can beat your husband.”

Hu Lei smiled on the other end before her face became a little more serious.

”Actually, there is something that I was planning to tell you later tonight. It is about that organisation. At least, I think it is.”

Zhong Feng sat up straighter. ”What is it?”

”I told you that I started hypnosis sessions with Dr Huo. She is using a technique to unbury the memories that I have repressed and pushed off to the dark side. It's part of the personality integration or consolidation or whenever.”
