Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"There is nothing to hurry." Feng Shufen deadpanned. His eyes were concentratedly supervising the three live screens at the front.

"But President Feng, he may run off". Gao Fan noted out with concern. His demeanor looked extra serious than usual as on the screen, it was not any simple enemy but the one who was related to the things that happened in the past. He could not simply dare to be easy and careless this time.

Feng Shufen continued his stare at the screen as he shook his head in disapproval. "Since he is making the courage to walk into the trap even after knowing; he won't be running off without attaining his wish. Let him succeed to some more extent." He said and the secretary was rendered confused at his words.

Does that mean they would let him attack unconscious Director Qi?

Gao Fan shook his head, shrugging off the impossible thought while darting his eyes to focus on the screen. If his President was saying something, there must be some thought behind it.

On the other side,

Pushing the door open, Pan Hong entered the hospital room to find Qi Shuai still sleeping under the effects of the sedatives. His eyes held a kind of darkness that was aiming to devour the life lying in front of him. But at the same time, something inside him, warning him to be careful of his moves.

Gripping the knife skillfully in his hands, he took his steps more inside the room. "Even if this is a trap, it will not be a big loss for me as long as I kill you before you regain your consciousness. Our death will be enough to make things better for me." He said, reaching to the head side of the bed, ready to put his attack into motion.

But right when he was about to put down the strike, his effort was halted bringing him to a surprise. Pan Hong's pupils dilated as he looked down in slight horror. "You were pretending all this time?" He asked, not sure if he was seeing things out of nervousness.

But all his thoughts got cleared when his eyes witnessed a playful smirk playing over Qi Shuai's lips.

"Was that looking pretentious? Sigh, I tried my best to make it come like really real. But it seems like I am not a good actor at the end of the day". Qi Shuai said, pressing a smile over his expression while trying his best to hold the attacking hands of the man firm at its place. But it was kind of getting hard for him, given his post-surgery weak state.

His features looked all pale and weak while strength in his arms wavering every next second.

"So, all this time I was right to think of this as a trap?" Pan Hong growled, knowing for sure that he was trapped and now there was no escape for him. Sooner, there will be more people in the room, for the aid of the patient.

"Mhm … I don't find you that silly to not guess that, mister. But I think your greed for a win took you hard." Qi Shuai replied, maintaining his aura while straining himself hard at the moment. "By the way, mister, don't you think given your old age, you have a little too much strength. Can you please be a little easy? After all, even if you try hard, you won't be able to escape today".

Pan Hong's brows went stiff as he grit his teeth. "Who wants to escape? At this moment, nothing is more important to me than your death. And I think with my such intention, your life also will soon have no escape". He said as he forcefully yanked off his hand, before giving back another strike to finish off the chase.

But again being the koi in his life, just before the strike could fall over him, Qi Shuai jumped down the bed to dodge any harm. "Oh-oh, easy boss! At least let my friend reach for my rescue. I am still a patient and people like you should have some moral principles of not harming the ones on the hospital bed. Don't you have some of that kind?"

Qi Shuai said, almost stumbling on his footing on the floor. His feet felt all numb and cold but even after all these, his features never left the playfulness that was giving strength to his weak state.

Pan Hong was already on the edge of losing his calmness and seeing the young man still playing around him, he wasn't getting any better. And at that moment, he wanted nothing more but to wipe off that confidence from his face. "My biggest principle is to keep my words and promises. And killing you will make me attain my principles well". He said as he once again charged at the man, making him dodge again and again.

But soon, Qi Shuai realized that if the stress remained like this, he won't be able to take it for more. His breath was already huffing and puffing and internally, he was already sending curses for his friend, who must be seriously enjoying his misery, sitting back in the surveillance room.

And as he thought, just after a few times of examining his moves, Pan Hong came to get aware of the weak points, the man was hiding all the time. Not missing the chance, he grabbed him on the point that at once brought him down on his knees. "We had enough play, let's now cut this off." He said impatiently before placing the knife over his throat to slice away the life in one stroke.

Qi Shuai shook his head. At the moment, he was not fearful about the knife that was over his throat, just a move away to slice off his life; rather was busy thinking … How the hell did he come to offend the devil in the past days, that now, he was getting back on him like this?
