As soon as the first bite went in her mouth, Feng Xinying looked at Xie Yuansheng whose tears were rolling out and the mouth was stuffed with the three bites she had given him. Her tears too started rolling out and she got up from the chair. She ran to the sink in the kitchen and spat out the entire food. She washed her tongue multiple times with water to get rid of the taste.
Xie Yuansheng came running after her as he also spat the entire food in the sink. When both of them had cleared their mouths, they grabbed the nearest chairs and sat down on it. Feng Xinying looked at Xie Yuansheng and said with flared nostrils, "You are not allowed to enter the kitchen. I had made such good dish that you had it all but what did you do? I couldn't even have one bite! You are a disastrous cook."
Xie Yuansheng looked at his wife and didn't know what to say. He did eat it all when she had made the dish for him and also suffered because of it. As a matter if fact what he made today was better than that. This was the worst situation he could ever face. This was worse than killing w.a.n.g Zirong. He hid his face in his hands and cursed his stars.
"Baby, you have so much work to do at office, you don't need to cook," he reasoned looking at her angry face.
"Men shouldn't have a say in the kitchen, so Xie Yuansheng you will not speak a word about making dinner. I have come to the conclusion that I will take charge of the kitchen from now on," declared Feng Xinying.
In the end both of them ended up eating plain bread with jam for the dinner. When Lu Boyun came, he threw the dish made by Xie Yuansheng in the trashcan.
The following week things went very smoothly much to Feng Xinying's surprise. w.a.n.g Zirong hadn't come from a few days. There was no email from her about absence of leave. Yun Chen and Lim Fei Yen also hadn't dared to show their faces. Overall, Feng Xinying was spending peaceful time and she didn't bother to even ask about the three of them.
However, the human resource department came with a serious complain one day. w.a.n.g Zirong had been missing from a week and her family had been looking for her. Her family was going to file a case against the Feng Conglomerate for not protecting their employees. According to the Human Resource people this could escalate into a huge issue with media tarnis.h.i.+ng the image of the company if it wasn't tackled properly.
A meeting was arranged with Xie Yuansheng and the strategy was discussed. Next day w.a.n.g Zirong's family was called, which consisted of an old father and her younger sixteen year old sister.
The father and the sister cried a lot all the time during the meeting. "She was the only person in our family who was earning, and now who will support us," said the father through his tears. "My younger daughter still goes to the school. Who will pay for her fees? We need money, as I don't have a job. It was your responsibility to take care of your employees when they are on job. We will take you to the court for not protecting the interests of your employees."
Xie Yuansheng heard them patiently and then asked all the people present over there to go outside in order to speak privately to the family. When every one of them exited, Xie Yuansheng leaned forward and said, "It was me who killed your daughter because I caught her torturing my wife in a closed room."
Both the father and the daughter were aghast. They looked at him with fear.
He narrowed his eyes. "It will take another two minutes for me to kill both of you," he said as he removed his gun from the holster and kept it on the table. "So listen to me carefully if you want to live. Don't go to the court or the police because you will never be able to find the body and never be able to prove that I have killed her. However, what I can do for you is to give you enough money to complete the education of your daughter, and for you to spend the rest of your life in retirement without doing any job."
The father gaped at Xie Yuansheng. It was a deal he couldn't deny. "How much money…? He asked mildly.
"Five million Yuan."
The duo greedily said, "Okay, we agree."
Xie Yuansheng nodded and then got up to leave. Before exiting he said, "My boys will be keeping an eye on you. If they find that you have gone to the police, they will kill you."
The Human Resource people were surprised to see the family cooperating so nicely with them. A fat check of five million was given to them within next one hour, and all the files related to w.a.n.g Zirong were closed forever.
Later in the evening Xie Yuansheng placed order with the city's most reputed jeweler to make two bangles for his wife worth five million Yuan.
