Chapter 719: Taking Control

CHAPTER 719

She spent the next thirty minutes crying her eyes out but she did not say anything. Who was she going to speak to?

She was so scared of what happened and she did not want to cause her grandfather’s death.

In fact, of anything that happened to him, she wondered how her life was going to be. All she had left in this world was her grandfather and mother, then Hao Huizhong. If she lost them...

“Aaaaahhh!” The sounds of her piercing scream reverberated in the entire room, buts he did not stop for ponce.

She went on and on, shedding tear after tear. It was so unusual for her to be scared and having her life flash before her eyes were something she had never experienced.

.....

Even back then, at the yacht, she wasn’t the one there. So, she had never in her life known such misery.

She felt her heart was going to give out at any minute from now. Quickly, she reached for her phone and dialled her mother’s number with shaky hands.

Ring! Ring!

She waited for some time but her mother did not answer the call. The next second she heard the other man’s voice replaying in her mind and felt weak.

‘No Bai Qing Mei!’ she screamed in her mind, trying to get her brain in control. ‘You are the daughter of Bai Feng. You cannot be threatened by the likes of those men.’

In all with the pep talk she did for herself, she could not find it in her to shake the fear and it boiled down to her calling her mother still. On the second ring, her mother picked up the phone and answered diligently.

“Hello, Qing Mei, sorry I wasn’t with my phone earlier,” she quickly let out so as not to anger her beloved daughter.

But the sounds of whimpers from the other end of the phone cut her heart and she paused. “Qing Mei. Mei Mei.”

She got no answer save for the relieved tears of her daughter. The next thing she heard was Bai Qing Mei’s cries only becoming louder.

“Mei Mei! Qing Mei, answer me, please. Please, daughter, talk to me.”

She stood up from her seat and picked up her car keys and bag. “Speak to me, child. What is wrong? In fact, I am coming home.”

“No!” She paused in her track and listened carefully. “Do not come. They may still be around and I do not want them watching you too.”

“What is going on? Qing Mei, tell me. Talk to me, who dare bully you?”

Rather than answering, she shook her head, her freight still visible from the sounds she was making.

“Talk to me. Whoever it is I would make them pay, I promise.”

“I do not know but they came, mum. A man.”

“Who? Be clear with me, who came?”

“I am alone at home and, someone broke in.”

“Call the cops right away if you have not called them. I would order some of your grandfather’s men to arrive there instantly.”

“No. I cannot. He threatened grandfather’s life. They are with him in the hospital.”

Her mother’s bag dropped on the floor. Her father had been ruthless she knows, but never had anyone in their right sense of mind tried to hurt her or her daughter or even mess with him.

With the change of events and the way things went, she was scared now that things would not become even messier.

She took in a long deep breath to calm her nerves and thought carefully. For her to have survived and ruled her husband’s company after his death, she was not an easy woman to deal with

She may not have been as tough as her father but she knew she could handle her own.

Threats came a lot from rival companies and she managed to get them down with her wits.

“Qing Mei, calm down. Deep breaths.”

She tried to follow her mother’s lead and inhaled deeply. “Steady dear. Steady. Think of this as one of those training I gave you when you were young.”

Her mind flashed back t her younger days as a kid and how she got scared of the dark and thunder.

Her mother would always make her take deep breaths and face her fears. While she overcame thunderstrike she could barely overcome the darkness.

And deep within her heart, she knew her mother found out but played her game and did not force her.

“Be at the river bank, walk all the way through the current to the cave directly under the waterfall.”

It was a mind game and before long, the more she walked through the river as her mother ordered, she found her breathing coming to a much calmer state.

“Now, imagine yourself at the edge of the waterfall’s cave and seat like a monk. Deep breaths.”

In, out! In, out! She did everything she was told and in order, soon it became easier to breath and her whimpering was long gone.

“Imagine yourself as a powerful water goddess. The darkness does nothing to you as does the lightning. Now block out those voices you heard today and think only of the voice from the water.”

“Become one with the water flashing, the force, the magnitude. Flow and feel the energy,” Bai Qing Mei voiced out after her.

“Good, that’s it. You are on track.”

They went on for a few more minutes until Bai Qing Mei felt okay and was at peace. “Thank you, mum.”

“Good. Now calmly tell me all that happened.”

“Okay.”

She did explain in detail all that happened and this time when she spoke, no longer did everything feel too scary for her again.

It was like she told a scary movie and now she felt like her brain became better in a lot of ways.

“Alright, dear. I would be home shortly. Let us leave the police out of this one.”

“Are you certain mom? Weren’t they just using it to scare us?”

“I am glad you know but if you were not my daughter, someone can just believe you were making jokes and do you think only your grandfather has a link with the cops?”
