Chapter 655: Kill the rumors

The meal was a joyous affair, with everyone speaking loudly over the other, lots of laughter and so much toasting every other minute that the old master joked about their glasses shattering as a result of it. But everyone was too happy to care, they just continued on.

After the meal, the old master looked at Chi Lian and said, "Chi-Chi dear, isn’t it about time for Phoenix news to announce Muyang’s recovery."

"Is it?" she asked him.

"Yes, It’s time to resurrect him." The old madam said, agreeing with her husband’s words. "I am tired of seeing people assume that he has passed away."

"The pictures of his face with flowers and RIP have been circulating rather rapidly lately, it’s almost as if someone has been pushing the news of his death." this was said by Manchu who was leaning against a chair with a plate of mango cake sitting on her protruding belly.

The sight of it had taken up all of Mei-Mei’s attention and the little girl was patiently waiting by the side with three of her own dolls. As soon as that plate came down from Manchu’s stomach, Mei-Mei’s dolls would replace it.

Chi Lian too had looked had laughed a few times at Manchu’s actions which entertained her.

"Sister-in-law, you are looking again." Manchu said.

Chi Lian laughed and she said, "I can’t help it, I want to take the plate down and attempt to balance something else on your belly just for fun."

Manchu shook her head and said lightly, "So you all want to turn my baby’s house into a playground."

"You started it." Rize commented.

"When she is eight months pregnant we will be able to put a potted plant on her belly." Muyang’s mother joked.

The women were all seated closely together, and the men were sitting close watching the playful banter between others and Manchu about her belly with soft laughter and smiles on their faces.

Chi Lian excused herself and she went to their chosen bedroom to privately discuss with Gu Xixi what to release about Muyang’s recovery.

She had to include a picture of Muyang looking injured so T4 used an image from the footage of when he was actually injured.

"I suggest that we cover up both of his eyes." T4 said. "Having one eye covered up will make people curious."

"Do it." she told him. She was pacing around the room slowly with a glass of wine in her hands as she told T4 what to type and send Gu Xixi in an email.

"Where do we say he has been?" T4 asked her.

"In a hospital abroad, no specifics." she replied.

"How long are we saying that has he been unconscious?" T4 asked.

"Mmm, four days, and he opened his eyes today. The doctors are hopeful and he is returning to the country on a private flight." She nodded her head impressed with herself for her deceitful tongue that knew just what to say in all situations.

"Are you to be included, his wife is requesting privacy as he heals, you know, the normal lies." T4 asked her. On the virtual screen, T4 was pacing around, similar to her. He had got himself new clothes from the virtual pet mall. He got rid of the robe that she initially got him and now he had taken on the appearance of a nine tailed fox in a pink silk robe.

"You spent my points." she blurted out, deviating from the business on ground.

"You mean ’our’ points." he stopped moving and poked his little pointy face forward. His foxy face actually poked through the virtual screen and appeared before her in the form of a hologram. "What do you think, cool, right?"

Taken aback, she leaned backwards and said, "Well that’s new."

"You have been too busy these days to notice the new changes to the system but I will take you through them all now that you are back. For starters, the few individuals who escaped from the island have all been tagged by me. Look at this map of your whole world, I can track them from anywhere."

The world map he indicated to had a few red dots that were moving, it indicated where they were and the identity of the individual.

"I also have a list of names that were in the computers on the compound and I am already on the job of tracking them down. When we return to the capital, we can go hunting." he looked delighted when he said that.

She sighed, it was never ending but it was interesting, not a day in her life was boring ever since she got the system.

"Okay," She agreed, "But first send the email to Gu Xixi, I am going to call her and explain everything right now."

In the Phoenix building, Gu Xixi was in the newsroom. As usual, she was dressed in a pantsuit and heels, a look which everyone had come to associate with her. Today’s pantsuit was dark grey and the shirt of choice was red. Ever since the boss left, she had been coming down to the newsroom studio when it was time to air the news to ensure that no anchors presented that which was not necessary.

It had been a while since she last heard from the boss and Gu Xixi secretly believed that perhaps the news circulating around expeditiously about the death of the boss’s husband held an iota of truth.

When her phone rung, Gu Xixi picked up immediately,

"CEO, it’s great hearing from you finally. We have all been so worried about you." she said rapidly.

"Director Gu, thank you for worrying about me. How is the office?"

"Everything is fine over here CEO, work is running smoothly. You can take your time dealing with everything and count on us for everything."

As Gu Xixi reassured Chi Lian, a few ears of the employees close by twitched and burned with a fire of curiosity. Was the CEO calling to invite them to a funeral or inform them of her upcoming return.

"Listen to me carefully Director Gu, I have sent something to your email so check it and make the appropriate changes. I will be returning to the office in two days and I hope that I will not get any unpleasant surprises."

Gu Xixi had a portable laptop that her assistant always carried for her. She waved and the assistant brought the laptop which Gu Xixi immediately accessed and opened the email.

"I see it now CEO." She confirmed.

"Alright then, make sure not to stick to what I have told you." Chi Lian reminded her.

"Yes CEO, we look forward to your return, have a pleasant night." Gu Xixi spoke humbly and her lips were curved upwards. She was smiling so much that it almost appeared as if the smile was frozen on her face.

Others employees whispered questions to themselves.

"Is it good news?"

"It must be related to the rumors of the professor Jun’s death."

"Do you think they found the CEO’s husband?"

"The CEO is returning, this is good news."

"Change of plans," Gu Xixi approached the producer of the news and called the anchor forward. "This is our new breaking news for the night, it must be aired first. We don’t have much time time to prepare, only six minutes so hurry up."
