The Emperor's Pampered Wife 22 Bride's Cry

It was already evening on Ji Li Zhao's house when his people finally gathered. He was walking towards their meeting room when one of his Grand Secretaries approached him with his phone. Huang Xun was out to accommodate his relatives who came for a visit which is why Yu Chao came in as subst.i.tute.

Yu Chao was a brunette in his 20s and his physical body was like Fang Tao's. He wasn't muscular as the others but rather skinny and even sickly. However, like others, he wasn't someone to be underestimated. He was donning a smile on his face as he stopped in front of their boss. "Boss, a call from Uncle Gu"

Li Zhao accepted the phone and nodded his head. "Gather up the Kings"

Yu Chao immediately nodded his head and followed his order without saying anything. He left in an instant to look for the Kings and gather them up before the call ends. Based on his boss' face, it was important, and by important its most probably related to their Lady Boss.

"Uncle Gu" he greeted once he was left alone on the hallway towards their meeting room.

Gu Man looked outside the mansion and made sure the guards was at their posts before closing the doors. He had already checked everything and made sure Wei Yan's safety was insured. "Madame is already fast asleep in your bed chamber"

Li Zhao stopped and looked at the big moon of his villa. His wife is already asleep. Somehow he was glad she fell asleep without worries. "Did you give her some milk?" he asked, quite worried of her welfare.

"Yes, young master" he answered and smiled at how much his master takes care of his wife despite his distance.

Although he knew he cannot be seen by Gu Man, Li Zhao still nodded his head in grat.i.tude. But in the next second, he became worried again upon remembering how she usually is at the past, and based on his team, she still suffers it till present. "She might have trouble adjusting to her surroundings. When she wakes up, don't carelessly approach her. Let her calm down for a minute before conversing with her"

Gu Man's smile grew even bigger when his young master said this. He knows all of this. In fact, its common knowledge to not approach them directly. He felt overwhelmed that his master has found someone he can really pour his heart and care out. "We will be monitoring her thoroughly, young master"

"Call me if something happens" he said and hang up the phone. He sighed and prayed Wei Yan would have a peaceful night on her first day.

After the call, Li Zhao proceeded in the meeting room and was greeted by a very noisy crowd. He shook his head at their actions and coughed to make his presence known. All of them immediately stood up to bow down to their mighty emperor. "Boss"

He signaled them to sit down which they obeyed without hesitation before taking his throne. He swept his eyes around and was already on his emperor mode. The warmth he had when talking about his wife earlier was no longer there. It was replaced by his icy cold gaze that would make newbies wet their pants in fright. However, the people inside the room was already veteran at this change of aura. There was a total of 20 people inside the room and each of them have terrifying roles in the business, entertainment, military, and even underground society.

"As you know, Fang cannot join us this evening as I've a.s.signed him to guard my wife along the other Great n.o.bles" he said and looked at the other n.o.bles who nodded their head. They were all aware of this. The reason why there's a lot of vacant seats tonight was because the others were sent out on an important mission.

A dutch man with a scar on his face frowned as he remembered Fang Tao. "We know. That idiot's been bugging me all day for a fight"

He was Laurens Schreurs, a dutch special action force brought in by Ji Li Zhao. He was internationally acclaimed as Psycho Schreurs, an ally of the military and enemy of all terrorists. He's a killer machine which made him really special to an organization like this. On this organization, he is considered Li Zhao's machine gun and no one can dare say its false.

Li Zhao nodded his head at him. He was also bugged by Fang asking for a bit of time to fight Laurens. The two are beasts he cannot easily tame and so he always allow them to battle since their prowess are seemingly on par.

Afterwards, he turned on his j.a.panese IT Genius. "Makio, hows the monitoring system"

Makio was nibbling his lollipop at that time. When he was asked by his boss, he instantly discarded it which he only does when around their boss. He was a sweet addicted genius and he seems to fail on things when he's not eating sweets. "I have access on every cctv on the are where Madame might frequent"

"And the Mansion's?" Li Zhao asked in concern.

"Li Wei already has the most advanced monitoring system and we had already delivered latest weaponry for our men's use in case something does bypa.s.s our security system" he said with a smile. He is the master of their weaponry and he was confident with his skills, thus there was no reason to be very concerned on their monitoring system.

"Well, whoever tries to do that is seeking only death" a 17 year old woman said making some of them inside the room nod their head. It was Yan Xi Lan, the terrifying sword of Li Zhao and the only female on the Kings.

Her twin, Yan Zhu who has the exact ability as her when it comes to swordsmanship yawned. He considered everything quite boring on his side. "Fang being present there is already freaky much more having the Great n.o.bles act as ordinary guards"

"Its only right for this. Angeles Clan are always looking for trouble and they will do anything to get Lady boss once they find out of her existence" On of the Great n.o.bles finally spoke up after much silence. It was Mi Shen, the top one a.s.sa.s.sin of the Great n.o.bles. He was there when they took Wei Yan to Li Wei Mansion. There was no anomaly but being too confident is no good specially when they have many enemies still waiting for their demise.

Chu Shan, another member of the Great n.o.bles frowned. If they lose their Lady Boss, h.e.l.l will surely break loose. "We cannot allow that"

"What are you talking about? They are not even worthy for our worry. We're only sparing them because they saved Lady Boss once" It was Ke Bai, the terrifying member of the Great n.o.bles known for his merciless killing.

Because of what he said, the people on the room fell into small discussions regarding Angeles. It was indeed true that they are no threat to them. They were just being too c.o.c.ky by causing a lot of trouble and brewing fights when they were only being spared. They were spared because of the information they gathered during Wei Yan's stay in America. If it wasn't for one of their people saving Wei Yan once in America, they would have already perished.

A cold voice suddenly spoke up. "That's enough. Her existence cannot get revealed yet. Not unless we take out Ji Boqin and the one supporting him"

It wasn't Li Zhao, but the big brother of the organization. He was an american man, about the same age as Li Zhao, and his coldness is just like Fang's when it involves heavy matters of their organization.

Brett nodded when they grew silent and turned his head towards his boss for the report. "Boss, I have already called our branches and asked them to send in some of their men here"

The door creaked all of a sudden making all of them grab their guns and point it at the one crazily disturbing their meeting.

"Woah Woah Woah! Are you insane!" he shrieked of fright. He knew that all of the psychos are gathered but he never imagined they would really point their guns at him.

All of them looked at him with poker face without any plans of placing down the gun. This weirdo is here again and he even dared come in late when its already clear in the rules not to disturb when the meeting has started.

"Yu Shuo" Li Zhao spoke up to ease the tension. His men immediately placed down their guns when they heard their boss acknowledging his presence. Yu Shuo went inside with a smile on his face, relieved that his life was spared. After taking his seat as one of the Crowns, the co-creators of the organization, Yu Shou turned to his cold side. "What are you planning?"

"The Great n.o.bles ident.i.ty are unknown but we cannot just depend in that. In order for Li Wei Mansion not to attract attention, we need to make this estate much more appealing" Xiong Chongan, one of the Grand Secretaries said with the tablet on his hands.

Li Zhao nodded his head and looked at all of them seriously. "We'll make it your personal training base"

"The branches will send in men for us to train" Brett added and made sure all of them agreed to this.

As all of the men present nodded their heads in agreement, Li Zhao spoke up once more. "Success is what I need, so we can send them back on their branch and strengthen our forces"

He then looked at the King of Kings who was living at his estate including some of the Great n.o.bles. "You've been staying here for a long time, its time we add on the Summits"

His organization had its groups, according to ranks: the Crowns, Grand Chancellor, Grand Secretaries, King of Kings, 7 Summits, the Great n.o.bles, and his Five Punishments.

"Yes boss" All of them said and smiled with his orders. The Summits are his toughest trainers and they are rarely seen because they are spread out across nations. Most of the Great n.o.bles came to be because of the Summits crazy training. Their presence means another batch of Great n.o.bles will arise.

Now that his orders was made, Li Zhao finally turned to Yu Chao. "How's the selection of her a.s.sistant?"

"Fang has send in his recommendations this afternoon. We've checked them in and only two are suitable" he said as he showed on the projector 10 women chosen by Fang. There was two women at the top and was boxed by red for emphasis.

Laurens looked at all of them and asked. "How so?"

"Well, the others have big missions and they cannot just abandon it. There are only two who are about to finish their task"

Li Zhao suddenly b.u.t.ted in. "I want the best"

Yu Chao smiled at what his boss said. That's right. Their Lady Boss deserves the best. "Luckily, the best is among the two"

He then proceeded on showing a woman in her 20s. She has short hair and had an icy expression on her face. "Qiu Meixiu, 24. Daughter of the late Lieutenant General Qiu. She was orphaned with her father's death and since the age of 20, she's been living alone. A soldier and a physician a.s.sistant at the Militray Hospital. She's been sent on countless missions to aid the medical team of the military. By far, she is the one at the top of the recommendation because of her survival skills and her perfect marksmanship. She is also a champion of Karate and has trained on different martial arts skills which gave her the ability to survive any close combat. As for her ability to detect poison, she is simply the best."

Li Zhao nodded his head upon seeing her achievements. This woman can surely be trusted. Based on her records, she wasn't someone who abandons her comrades for her safety. He needs someone who was brave enough to handle dire situations and save his wife from danger. "Then scout her in"

Xiong Chongan who was just on the phone a minute ago suddenly spoke up from the corner. "There's no need boss. Qiu Meixiu has already volunteered"

"That's good" he said and smiled. Now he can be rest a.s.sured that his wife won't overwork herself anymore.

As the meeting nearly reached its end, a sudden call disrupted them. It was the main line of their meeting room and only a few has access to this. It only rings for emergency when they are in a meeting. Yu Chao who was beside it, immediately answered the call. After a while, he was furiously nodding his head and his face displayed both seriousness and horror. Once he hung it up, he turned to Li Zhao.

"Lady Boss woke up. Uncle Gu said that she was crying none stop and refuses to talk. She's sulking on the dark side of the room" he said with his voice weavering. They knew she had trouble adjusting to her surroundings since young and this caused her to have nightmares when she sleeps on a new room. But even though they knew, they were still taken aback.

Li Zhao immediately stood up, his eyes now clouded with worry. His fear came true once more. "As what I ordered, this villa will be your training base. Make preparations and move as soon as possible"

All of them nodded their head and stood up for a bow. Li Zhao did not linger anymore. He walked out the room and was followed by Han Yu Shou and his Grand Secretaries present, namely Yu Chao and Xiong Chongan. "Chongan, prepare the underground transportation"

"Already prepared boss" he said as they entered the underground facility of the villa.

Yu Chao took out the voice changer on the corner. "Boss, your voice changer" he said as he handed it to him. Li Zhao accepted this and entered the capsule without any word said.

Yu Shou who was trailing behind them ran up to him, his eyes displaying the same worry as Li Zhao. "Remember, her nightmare came from the kidnapping incident when she was young. Don't mention anything besides that or she will relive her trauma"

Li Zhao nodded his head in understanding. That's right, its the kidnapping incident, not his incident with her. Yu Shou patted his shoulders and gave him a friendly smile. "Now go, take care of your bride"

With that, Li Zhao closed the capsule and Yu Chao generated it towards Li Wei Mansion. Li Zhao who was inside was already clenching his fist in anger of himself, he vowed not to make her cry but she was now crying alone in their room. His bride is crying...no his wife is crying. This is not something he can easily forget. Yu Shou, Yu Chao, and Xiong Chongan continued standing there even when the Capsule was already long gone. The three of them was left sighing and hoping everything will be okay on Wei Yan's side.
