Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Everyone's heartbeat paused the moment they heard the car taking a screeching brake outside. Though there was no announcement made of his arrival, still people could feel the air around changing on his demand. Not everyone has seen him before, but they have all heard of his ruthless ways. He would not lead the people to death, but his actions would be more like making them beg for their death.

And at this point of time, everyone in the underground base knew what wrong they had done to suffer the Devil's wrath tonight. Will they be even saved? Though there seemed no chance, they were still hoping for the light.

Once putting the brake on the car, Du Fan quickly got out to open the door for the Emperor of Darkness.

Feng Shufen stepped out and at that, very instant the already cold weather outside turned more chilled like the window to Antarctica got open to scare the people out of their life. His chiselled cold facial feature looked magnetic but at the same time very deadly and dangerous. Dressed in his dark black business suit, as usual, he was looking no less than the meaning of extreme darkness himself. His hands were tucked inside his dress pants' pockets while the draped overcoat swayed from below when he walked.

No one dared to look up at the Devil. Bowing their heads down in guilt, they just stood there, ready to get beheaded.

Seeing his President arrive, Gao Fan was the only one to make his way to reach him, greeting him politely but with some severity in his tone. "President Feng!"

"…" Feng Shufen didn't show any response to his greeting instead his eyes scanned the people standing in the row before giving one curt order. "Dismissed!" And just that one order, made everyone quiver in fright.

Dismiss! That might sound like an easy word but they knew what extreme meaning that simple word contains. They were all dismissed, which only means now there was no hope left for them in this country.

Though it was less severe than what they have expected, still the pain it will bring in their life will be no less. But they couldn't complain knowing that it was what they deserved. Inefficiency and incapability were the two rules that they have to keep omitted from their personality while working at this place, yet they weren't able to keep those two promises. They definitely deserved what they received.

Bowing their head in regret, the people at once left and just at that moment another set of trained boys came to get appointed at the place.

"President Feng didn't seem as ruthless as we thought. I think what we have heard all these years are just rumours." One of the young boys from the leaving group said as he looked around the place for the last time. He has recently joined the team, so was yet unknown to many experienced facts.

"Tsk tsk, you thought it too simple. Though President Feng is rumoured to be ruthless, he has got all qualities of a prestigious ruler. His qualities of decision making are no less." The other replied, clicking his tongue on the simple thoughts of the boy.

"What do you mean?" The former person didn't understand so asked the other to elaborate to which the other person on the side said quietly.

"Don't be dumb to think that we got an easy punishment. Since the one we lost in the hands of the enemies was already a waste for us, we have been just shoved off with dismissal. Otherwise, no one would have been able to save us from getting beheaded".

"You mean the one we lost was of no use for us? Then why are they getting dismissed? Isn't this …"

"Shh! Do you want to get slayed? No one questions the words of the Big Boss. Furthermore, we are just receiving what we deserve. It was our fault to stay weak and lose the person."

"But … Dismissing us is still not fair. What if after getting out from here we get included in the enemy's base. Won't the Big Boss fear this?" The young boy asked thoughtfully, but the people around him only laughed at his naivety.

"You are really naïve to take things that easy. Did you really think, this dismissal today will leave things normal in our life. Tonight itself we will be deported to an unknown land where our life will be much harder than what we think". Someone from the crowd cleared the doubts as to if it was some tale that only happened in horror fantasies.

On the other side, soon after the people were switched, Gao Fan returned to the side of Feng Shufen to give him the detailed report of the things.

In the room, the air was not as terrified as before. Feng Shufen was sitting behind the wooden desk, staring at the video of intrusion playing on the screen and from his face it was looking like he had got the hints of the person behind it.

"President Feng, I think those people were not here for Zhan Lei. Instead, they were searching for Pan Hong, whom we have caught at the hospital. But not able to find him here at our underground base, they just took away Zhan Lei. Since we already doubted their interconnection from the accident five years back, this is not sounding unreasonable".

Gao Fan said, matching all the coordinates well according to the facts presented to him. After saying all his thoughts, he waited to hear the response of his President, which didn't seem to come anytime. Just when he thought there would be nothing coming, he paused seeing the slightest movements of the man's lips.

"Pan Hong might be the head they were looking for but there is someone else capable behind all this. It's not as simple as it looks," Feng Shufen said, without having any change in his expression. His eyes still staring at the slender figure dwelling with clean-cut moves on the video screen.

Gao Fan also followed his gaze with a perplexed expression.

Someone else capable behind! Who?
