The 3 B's- Beauty, Brains and Bravery

Chapter 448: Supposed to be off-limits

Elite Multi-Speciality Hospital, 01:30;

Shocked by Zhi Al's revelation, the Superfamily did not know what to say. Although Rong Xinghe had publicly humiliated He Chen a few days back when she'd intentionally created trouble for Xi Yuan and her by leaking some confidential information concerning them, leaving her with no choice but to go live and do the damage repair; but attacking someone as influential as the country's Military Chief was ridiculously gutsy and totally unexpected. Even for her. 

Feng Mian and Zhi Al realized that the family needed much more than just a name, so they spent the next few minutes explaining to them how they reached the conclusion. Zhi Al's programming and hacking skills had never been an unreliable source for the Six tigers, so it didn't take them much time to accept the certainly behind the man's words. 

"Is she stupid?!", Ningtao raised her brows, infuriated, "Manipulating Cheng Tai, sabotaging Mo Zixuan and her relationship, publicizing Yuan and Xinghe's private life, engineering a freaking murder. Why does she want to destroy us so desperately?"

Lu Wei glanced at his wife, his expression solemn. She was right. Ruining people's relationships was one thing, but attempting a homicide, committing a felony, it was all truly disturbing. No one had had the audacity to challenge the authority of the Superfamily so brazenly here before. Not the Rong family, nor the Zhou's, despite the fact the Six men had made their lives a living hell after what they'd done to their sister. Then how could He Chen be so smug? Or was it the mercy they'd shown her that led to all of this?

"Maybe I know why.", Cheng Tai said after a while, interrupting the five tigers' and Xi Yuan's thoughts.

"What do you mean?", Mo Zixuan turned to face his wife, confused. 

"Uh...", Chen Tai stretched her hand behind her back, pulling her phone out of the back pocket of her jeans, looking at Songyan and Ningtao nervously, "We sneaked into her house a few days ago, to search for some leverage against her. Sister-in-law Songyan suggested the idea since we wanted her to pay the expenses of the legal fine MZX Network Chain would've to face because of her personal vendetta against Xinghe and Yuan. 

"Back then, I found something. So I clicked its picture. Here.", the woman, passing the phone to her husband, a photo of what looked like a Medical report across its screen. 

"She is a patient of Obsessive-cumulative Disorder, or OCD, one could say. A type of it, actually. ROCD- Relationship OCD. And she is at stage three, a critical one, doctors claim. It comprises images or urges that are unwanted, distressing, and interferes with a person's life.", the woman resumed, "She is obsessed with Zixuan. I mean, initially, I didn't believe it because you guys divorced so long ago. How could someone's obsession stick for so many years?

"But when you told me of how she used to interfere in each one of your decisions while you guys were married, it started to scare me. She wanted to control you back then, and she wants the same control now. 

"I mean she tried to push us apart first, leaked Xinghe and Yuan's news so that it would drive you apart from your Kiddo, planting most of our stringers around the Superfamily in order to dig up our lives. But I still didn't think she could go to such extremities just to get you back. Murdering the highest Military Authority of Country X... it's just petrifying!"

"Yeah, Tai mentioned to me about it too.", Ching Tong added, her face expressionless, "I even had a chat with Rogguang about it since he has an expertise in neurology. He was surprised, of course, but he assured me that OCD was a pretty common mental disorder and that people had the tendency to get suicidal due to it, if it were to advance, at most. But he had never seen a single patient harming anyone around their loved ones due to it. He had heard of it, yes. But never personally witnessed it.

"Even so, I'd hired a Private Investigator to look into it along with some people to keep an eye on her activities. It was about our family's safety, after all."

"Maybe... because she'd operated this entire operation over the phone, they couldn't trace her exact plans.", Zhi Bo rubbed the temple of his head, fatigued. It was all too much to take in. For all the men.

Mostly, for Xi Yuan. He didn't care of what mental disorder any of his or their enemies were facing. He didn't give a fu*k about anyone else's life, actually.

But how dare that woman so much as even think of laying a finger over his to-be-wife?! Rong Xinghe was supposed to be off-limits, regardless of whatever obsession He Chen had for the girl's brother. And yet, she was lying in there, her life under threat, while he stood outside, listening to some psycho's fantasies. 

Xi Yuan inhaled a long sharp breath, as he tucked his right hand into his pocket, getting his phone out of it. It took him a moment to browse through his contacts before he brought the phone to his ears, the Superfamily's eyes glued to him. 

"He Chen. COO of MZX Networks. Keep her breathing.", the man commanded into the phone, his tone stone-cold. Listening to the words coming out of Xi Yuan's mouth, the girl's family knew that Xi Yuan wasn't the one to be messed with at the moment. His rage, in fact, was justifiable. He could've lost the woman he loved more than his own existence today, after all. It was only natural for him to take matters into his own hands this time. 

"Zixuan...", Cheng Tai sighed, cupping her husband's face in both her hands, "Say something. Please. Are you upset?"

Mo Zixuan shook his head, switching the phone in his hands off, "No.", he answered, "You didn't tell me because you weren't sure yourself. Why would I be upset? You did the right thing, Tai. 

"As for He Chen, I'd gladly see her rot in hell. That woman isn't worthy of my attention. Talking to her, or even killing her would give her the pleasure of my presence.", the man said, turning to look at Xi Yuan, "I want her dead, Yuan.", he stated, his tone darker than that of the Devil himself, "How clear am I?"

"You have my word, bro Mo.", the man answered, his gaze fixed at the closed doors of the O.T., wherein his beloved fought the fight of her life, "He Chen will wish for death a thousand times before she breathes her last."
