Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 732 - Refrained to call him.

In the darkness of some other secluded underground place,

"He wasn't there? How can that be possible? We have clearly investigated before. That was the only secret underground base Fengs has in this city and not everyone knows about it. How could you not find the Boss there?" the head leader of Pan Hong's men yelled looking at the downed head of the boys standing in the row.

"Brother Chu, we searched each cell but there wasn't even a trace of our boss there. Even Brother Zhan was kept at the end of their base tunnel. We have inquired about him as well but he didn't have any information regarding it." Someone among the crowd said in a confident tone that didn't falter even a bit.

From the side, a wincing voice interrupted, "Brother Chu, don't blame others. It was my fault. I should have accepted Boss's arrangements. Just because of my reckless actions, he is now not with us." It was Jing Shaoqing. Sitting on the side, he was getting his wounds bandaged.

Though he was not severely injured, Feng Shufen's men were also not trained uselessly. Only because the things were quite sudden that these people managed to get the upper hand on them, otherwise, taking away Zhan Lei simply wouldn't have been possible.

The leader on the side shook his head, not denying the regret of the young boy rather in disappointment. "It would have been better if you had thought it before acting reckless, Shaoqing." He said as he saw his head dropping down in regret. "Aish, now again you are going off the thing. This is not the time to waste on regrets. We have to find the Boss first. He is our senior and in no way we can lose him".

Leader Chu said both to cheer the men upon their shoes and to make them concentrate on the main context of the scenario. The boys around nodded but among them, one asked in confusion. "But Brother Chu, how are we going to find Boss? We have already checked their place all the way but there wasn't even a trace of him there. Does that mean, they have …"

At that sudden contemplation of the situation suddenly the whole air of the place went dead silent. The only sound that resounded was the clanking of the glass that had gotten shattered in Jing Shaoqing's hand at the side.

At once, everyone's attention turned to look at his grim expression, mixed with anxiousness. On that look of the boy, the former guy who has dared to forecast his thoughts was immediately at loss. Slightly shaking in fear, he quickly added, "Shaoqing, don't look at me like that. I was just thinking of it because almost all of us have heard of the infamous ways Feng's use on their enemies. Since we lost our boss in their hands, it could be possible …".

He dared to say that again and the next second felt a piercing pain on his t.h.i.g.h as he curled down on his knees, looking horrifying at everyone. But none showed the guts to say a word. Who would dare? Not only Jing Shaoqing was closest to the Boss, but he also had a background that none could dare to offend.

So, when a fierce glass shard was thrown to pierce the skin sharply, none plucked up the courage to come forward to come at him. Even the leader among all sighed and just shook his head in sorry.

"Dare to say that again if you don't fear worst" Jing Shaoqing's growl rang in the air, silencing the silence of the place while making a line for everyone to follow. "Boss is definitely fine. Do you think it would be simple to kill him?"

From the side, leader Chu also supported. "Shaoqing is right. We can't think negatively. Till we do not search every corner of this city, let's be positive. Shaoqing's action might have been rash, but his intentions regarding this were right. There is no way we could bear to be negative at the moment". He said, giving everyone a look of warning.

"But Brother Chu, if not their base, where else should we find him? We don't know any other places. And above all that, we lack power as well. Since we had Shaoqing with us today, it was handled with his special learned moves. Otherwise, to their men's skills we all weren't capable …". Someone from the group again added but was immediately paused halfway. Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in N(o)vᴇl(F)ire

"I have got a way. With him by our side, both our powers and brain will go compatible with their" Jing Shaoqing offered. His eyes shining brightly with assurance and confidence.

"Shaoqing, you know we are not allowed to call him like this. Boss has refrained us to". Leader Chu remembered but seeing the boy shake his head in denial, he had no other way.

"Though he has refrained us before, right now is not the time to follow that refrainment. Furthermore, why can't we call him? He used to be one of our own and he should help us", Jing Shaoqing countered without giving anyone any chance to make him change his mind.

On the other side, back at Little Carnations,

Li Xue pressed her lips as she looked intensely at the metal piece in her hand. Her face held an expression of disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. She still can't believe she was so childishly got tricked by her Mr Beelzebub.

She received the gift!

It was exactly what he had promised for. A real gun with the initials of her name carved over it. But still, it was not what she had wished for.

How could she not be disappointed with the piece? Hours before she was holding the exquisite rare piece of Black Eager XIX, a golden gun that could even kill a bear in one shot. And now, the man has left her to play with this puny piece. Shouldn't she be displeased?

"Nope, I am not having this. In no way! He would have to return back the one I had previously chosen, or else … or else …" She tried to come up with a measure of attack but nothing came to her mind, leaving her helpless. "Argh, Mr Beelzebub, really after meeting that Zhang Xiaotong, you have turned wicked. You dared to trick your wife. Come back I will get back my precious".

She fumed as she stared in the direction of the door from where he had left earlier.
