Chapter 627: The talk of the empire

Around the same time when Muyang was packing and getting ready to go for the trip, Yan Daya’s maids were packing her luggage as well. For a woman who claimed to be going for a business meeting, she sure packed a lot more transparent lingerie than suits. It seemed as if she was foing for a honeymoon.

She was excited and humming, one would think that all was rosy in the Yan family. If one went beyond the walls of her bedroom, they would find sad, grieving, anxious, scared and tense faces.

Some of the maids could not help but think, ’What kind of person is this? Her cousin has died and her grandfather is in the hospital in what doctor’s called a hopeless coma. How can she be smiling and humming happily right now?

But, they kept their questions and judgmental eyes to themselves because Yan Daya could be quite cruel when she was angered.

"Mother, when I return, I could be carrying the Jun family’s next heir. Isn’t that exciting?" Yan Daya stood in front of a mirror and rubbed her belly in a circular motion.

"Oh wow, I had not even considered my good daughter, our lives will be settled if you score this goal.The wealth of the Jun’s will be in our hands." Her mother that always plotted with her and supported her in all of her whims as always encouraged her.

"When I return, Muyang and I will start planning our wedding, I want to move into that Myrtle house immediately."

One of the maids was so surprised that she dropped a perfume vial and Yan Daya walked up to her and slapped her. "Are you stupid? Do you know what was in that perfume?" she screamed.

"Don’t worry, we have more in stock. You, get out, for the rest of the do not show your face." her mother waved her hand, dismissing that maid.

Yan Daya calmed down as her personal maid brought another of those perfumes. Her plans would not be have to be cancelled.

"Why do you want to move into that house, another woman has already lived there. You should get Muyang to construct you your own house." her mother said.

Yan Daya spun around and said with glee in her eyes, "Or I can make him demolish that house and build me a new one, a bigger and grander one." Her eyes sparkled as she imagined that magnificent house.

Then, she shook her head and said, "No, my victory is only complete if I live in the house that bitch Chi Lian lives in. I have to throw her out of that house before I end her life and that of her bastards in so much pain and suffering that they will beg me for death.Mother that bitch will have to get on her knees and beg me."

Yan Daya smiled as she anticipated that glorious day.

"It’s time to go." her mother said.

Yan Daya left her family’s home and she was driven to the airport. The only thoughts in her mind were dirty thoughts, as she thought about the all the ways in which Muyang would make love to her.

She was so excited that she closed the tinted partition which separated the driver and passenger seat, granting her absolute privacy. Then, she licked her lips and slid her hands inside her dress, as she whispered Muyang’s name.

***********************************

The next day, Chi Lian went to the office with the children, preferring them to be as close to her as possible in these uncertain times.

T4 had told her that this morning, twelve more people had been arrested around the empire. These people were on the list of names recovered from Quan Chi’s private folder. Two of these people were members of aristocratic families.

She had barely sat down when someone came calling, Gu Xixi.

"Why are you looking for me so early today? I have not even had my breakfast today."

"Boss, I was wondering if you had a way of getting us a interview with one of the soldiers or police officers who were involved in that terror alert situation. I have exhausted all of my connections but I am getting nowhere."

"Why?" Chi Lian asked her.

Gu Xixi looked at her as if she was not expecting that question. "Boss, what do you mean by why? It’s the hottest story, the talk of the empire at the moment. However, they are not mentioning what materials the explosives made from or what kind of damage the explosives would have done. I feel like something is being hidden from us."

"If something is being left out of the official announcement it must be because it’s a national secret." Chi Lian answered lazily.

"Then what about the identity of the terrorist, why haven’t they revealed that yet? They keep saying an individual but who is the individual?" Gu Xixi shook her head, she could smell a bigger story at play.

"I can’t help you today Gu Xixi, but maybe you can question the residents of the town. Many people have been arrested for crimes, someone might be in need of lawyer fees." She suggested. "I have a lot of work to do, if there is nothing else to talk about_"

She raised her eyebrows, waiting for Gu Xixi to say something and when she shook her head and stood up to leave, Chi Lian finally served herself breakfast from the farm.

Two hours later, she was rolling around on the carpet in the children’s private play area when she received a call from her brother.

"Ooh, the great minister, it’s nice of you to think about me today. How is the honey moon?"

"It would be much more fun if my wife, your employee did not start clamoring for us to to return because she is afraid that her position will be stolen." Chi Rui grumbled on the phone, sounding very unhappy.

"What happened?" Chi Lian did not know of anyone attempting to steal Rize’s position.

"I am putting Rize on the phone, you talk some sense into her." her brother said, very obviously agitated.

"Sister-in-law." Rize’s voice came through the phone. "How could you betray me like this? You recruited that girl from HTV to host my show. I am unhappy, sister, get rid of her."

The girl Rize spoke of with much venom in her voice a twenty five year old rookie host Ehuang. She was pretty, articulate and had a good following on social media. Chi Lian had been stealing away all the wasted potential from HTV, especially the female employees.

With the sexism and sexual harassment scandal still hounding the company, it had been relegated to a small sized operation. No company wanted to be associated with them, and no women wanted to work there.

Families with young daughters who were searching for jobs in the media industry even called and warned their children not to go to Htv.

Chi Lian said to Rize, "Ehuang is not here to replace you, she is simply filling in for you and_"

"Sister-in-law," Rize shouted and Chi Lian removed the phone from her ears, putting it a distance. Did she have to be so loud?
