Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 136 Desperate father

Yan Mei followed Lei Zhao inside a room. A white man who looked about forty years old was tied to a chair in the middle of the room.

Next to him was a long rectangular table. A man in a soldier attire was punching the white guy in the face.

"Boss!" The man stopped when he saw Lei Zhao coming in.

Mr.Andre looked up when he heard the man greeting someone calling him Boss.

He knew from his tone that this man was the person who had him kidnapped. He was coming from work when he was ambushed.

At first he thought it was the man who poisoned Lei Zhao but the moment he woke up and saw a Chinese man in a soldier attire he guessed it was someone close to Lei Zhao. The person was going to get revenge and that was nothing he could do.

Mr. Andre swallowed nervously when he saw Lei Zhao standing in front of him. His face was devoid of any emotions.

"M-mr..Lei."

Lei Zhao ignored him and picked a chair for his wife.

"Wifey..sit."

Yan Mei looked at Lei Zhao and nodded.

"Are you sad that I'm alive?" Lei Zhao walked towards Mr.Andre. He bent down so that he was face to face with Mr.Andre.

Mr.Andre looked at Lei Zhao, his breathing was ragged from the assault.

"No..I am happy that you are alive. I-I was so afraid that something had happened to you. I couldn't sleep these past few days. My conscience would not let me. I-i'm sorry."

Lei Zhao raised his eyebrows when he heard him.

"So you admit you're the one who poisoned me?"

Lei Zhao asked.

"No. I mean yes but it wasn't me. You know I would never hurt anyone. We have been in business for a long time. I was forced to!"

Lei Zhao turned to look at Yan Mei. She was just sitting down with her legs crossed together. No one knew what she was thinking.

"I was going to come to China to personally sign the deal but when I was going to pick my daughter up from school three days before the appointed time a man approached me."

Mr. Andre said quickly when he saw that Lei Zhao was not taking any action yet.

"He-he threatened me with my daughter. He said my daughter was with them and if I want her to live I should do exactly what he tells me. I-I was afraid. You know I'm all my daughter has. Her mother died while giving birth to her and my daughter grew up with a congenital heart disease. I-"

Mr.Andre busted into tears, taking a deep breath he continued,"He told me to tell you to come to New York. I-I didn't know why. Until he gave me a pen. He said I should make sure you use this pen to sign the contract when we meet.

I didn't know what was in the pen but I knew it wasn't anything good. I-I wanted to warn you but I couldn't, they would kill my daughter. My daughter, she is all I have. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

Yan Mei laughed hysterically when she heard the man.

"Touching." She said sarcastically

"So you chose to murder someone's husband in exchange for your daughter."

Yan Mei chimed in.

"I-I I'm not lying. I-i really had no choice. I'm just a desperate father."

Yan Mei looked at the man in front of her. Usually she tortures her prey. Play with them before she inflicts pain on them. But deep in her heart she knew she couldn't kill this man.

She didn't want to deprive a child of a father. Yan Mei knew the man was telling the truth. He was just a father who was protecting her sick daughter..

But will she let him go? No-no she will make him emotionally feel the pain she felt when she held Lei Zhao's cold and lifeless body in her arms.

She will make him scream for death but she wouldn't give it to him. At times an emotional torture is painful than a physical torture.

Yan Mei calmy stood up and slowly walked towards Mr.Andre as she hummed a tone.

Mr.Andre couldn't help but shiver at the ruthlessness he saw in Yan Mei's eyes. He knew this woman was deadly.

Yan Mei's lips stretched into an evil smile.

"Do you know what is more painful than death?" Yan Mei asked as she sat on the table in front of the man.

"I-No. Please.."

"To hold the cold and lifeless body of the person you love in your hands. You won't see him again. You won't hear his laughs. It's like someone is ripping your heart from your chest. Have you ever experienced that?"

Mr. Andre widened his eyes in fear as he shook his head aggressively.

"P-please spare my daughter!"

Yan Mei squinted her eyes,"Tch,tch why should I spare your daughter? Did you spare my husband?"

Lei Zhao frowned when he heard Yan Mei. He has seen Mr. Andre's daughter once and he had to admit he was fond of the little girl.

He didn't want his wife to be a heartless person to even kill a child.

Even though Lei Zhao was a ruthless person he didn't kill or destroy people without a reason.

He knew Mr. Andre did what he had to do for his daughter. He would have done the same thing.

"Do you trust me?". Yan Mei asked Lei Zhao when he saw the worry etched on his face.

Lei Zhao turned to look at Yan Mei and nodded.

"Yeah. Always."

Yan Mei smiled, "Then leave us alone."

Lei Zhao stiffened for a moment. He didn't want to leave her alone with Mr. Andre nor did he want his wife to get her hands dirty.

He was caught in a dilemma.

"Wifey.. remember everyone has a reason for doing something. Before you judge someone put yourself in their shoes."

Lei Zhao said this and planted a kiss on her forehead.

Yan Mei caught the meaning in Lei Zhao's words but she said nothing.

They all knew Mr. Andre was just a pawn in all of this. The real danger was out there and they would have to find it.

"I will be outside if you need me." Lei Zhao said as he walked out of the room with the soldier following behind him.

Yan Mei turned to look at the CCTV camera installed in the room. She threw a towel that was on the table on the CCTV camera blocking it.

Lei Zhao who was monitoring Yan Mei in the camera frowned when he saw that she had covered it.

He wanted to stop her if she goes too extreme. Lei Zhao knew Yan Mei wouldn't forgive herself if she deprived a child from her father.

"Let's get started. Shall we?" Yan Mei said as her lips curved into a sinister smile.

Ten minutes later a heart wrenching wail sounded making Lei Zhao stiffened.

He opened the door and rushed inside but the scene in front of him just made him speechless.

"What did you do to him?
