Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Feng Shufen's eyes turned frostily brutal as he stared at doctors rushing back and forth in the room. His jaws were clenched, while fingers were fisted tight, suppressing the anger he was feeling inside. At the moment, looking at him one could easily tell that soon there will be a brutal massacre that will end everything. 

But in between that darkness of fear, Li Xue felt to appear as the ray of hopeful light. Reaching out to hold the clenched fist of the man, she whispered softly to calm the anxious nerves of Feng Shufen. "It's a tough time, but don't lose your calmness yet. Everything will be fine. If you lose your patience like this, what will you expect Yi Lan to do?" 

Feng Shufen looked down at her face, but she gestured to him to look at Feng Yi Lan sitting at a little distance. 

"If she sees you panicking like this, she might lose the hope I have given to her to hold on to the situation" Li Xue said again, repeating the importance of his sobriety for the people around.

Feng Shufen's gaze followed to look at his sister, slowly and slowly returning back to his soberness. Li Xue took a breath of relief. Earlier seeing him losing like that, she felt her whole world tremble, without giving her any way to make it better. 

"Since you are fine now, I will get back to Yi Lan. At the moment, she needs me more." She said and Feng Shufen gave her a nod of understanding before reverting his gaze back inside the room. 

Soon after some time, things were back under control as the door of the room was pushed open with a  doctor coming out. Li Xue along with Feng Yi Lan rushed forward to hear what the doctor had to say. 

"Mr. Feng, things are under control now. Though this was not expected to happen, still we have expected some minor chances from before. The surgery was quite hard and so were the medicines. Mr. Qi's body wasn't able to take them properly, resulting in bringing him to a running temperature that made him convulse like that. But he is under control now." The doctor explained. 

"Does that mean he is no longer in critical condition, doctor? Is he fine and safe now?" The anxious voice of Yi Lan asked from the side, staring at the doctor with expectations. Her eyes, holding the tears but not letting them go yet. 

The doctors looked a little sympathetically at her but the expression of sympathy didn't stay for long as they couldn't bear to forget the title the lady held in her name. "Ms. Feng, we cannot say that yet. As we have said earlier, Mr. Qi requires to be under observation for twenty-four hours. These hours will be deciding one". He said, before asking for his leave. 

Feng Yi Lan was at once disheartened. "Li Xue!" She sighed under her breath and the woman was already there to support her. 

"Yi Lan, it's fine. Just twenty-four hours and Director Qi will be fine". Li Xue consoled, giving a small glance towards Feng Shufen. 

Feng Shufen stared. He was not good at consoling but still seeing Li Xue's expectant gaze towards him, he was about to give it a try but right at that moment, Gao Fan came to interrupt from behind.

"President Feng, there is something important". 

The man didn't turn at once, instead remained at his place. His eyes, staring at Li Xue. Only after seeing her nod in agreement and understanding, did he turn to leave, walking straight to a secluded room on the floor. 

Gao Fan as well gave a bow of politeness before following Feng Shufen. 

"President Feng, based on the things we have learned across, it feels like the people behind Director Qi's accident are the same group that happened to be behind your accident, five years ago." The secretary reported with a solemn expression. "There ways come out to be the same and they also tend to have the reason behind it. Seeing Director Qi visiting the town behind the Dark Woods, they might have thought he was there to look for the evidence of your accident. So they attacked him."

"The reason doesn't matter. What matters is that– they dared to do that. Tried to repeat what they have done five years back." Feng Shufen sneered in a low voice. "Did you trace who they were?"

"We did, President Feng but before we could reach them, they all disappeared like they never existed. Our people are still there  and …"

"You won't be able to reach them like that. You were wrong to think that what happened five years back was a one-time thing. They had their eyes on us all this time, waiting for another opportunity. So, they knew we would be looking for them". Feng Shufen said as a cold glint flashed in his eyes. 

Gao Fan didn't understand the meaning behind that cold glint until he heard the next order come his way. 

"Gao Fan set an irresistible bait for them to take. You know what you have to do", he said and the secretary nodded, knowing what he has to do next.

Soon the news of Qi Shuai being recovering well in the hospital was spread in the city, garnering good public as well as media attention to the Chiboa's City Hospital. Since Qi Shuai was a well-known face in the country, many cards and bouquets were sent, confusing two ladies at the hospital. 

But behind all this, the intention was very simple and clear. Feng Shufen wanted the news of Qi Shuai's recovery to travel to the ears of the people who were behind everything. And like he had planned, soon the news reached the people it was intended to. 

But instead of reaching Pan Hong first, Jing Shaoqing heard it first. 

"Don't let the Boss know this yet. He is already stressed because of you guy's failure and this information will not serve any good. All of you rest, I will handle this alone" he said, looking at the failed boys, before turning to leave. 

But right when he could leave, someone from behind reminded, "But Shaoqing, Boss has asked us to stay low for a while. We don't think you need to do anything at the moment". 

"Don't guide me when you are not capable enough. I know what I have to do ``. Jing Shaoqing said, leaving the room at once.
