Starlight Company.
CEO Office.
During working hours, Ye Baiyu had called his boss, Mo Yijun, asking him to head back to the Underworld City saying that his father was summoning him. With that Mo Yijun reluctantly separated with his wife and headed back to his city ahead of time. Meng Anya stayed at his office with Lin Xia having a long coffee break as they've both finished their work for that day.
Lin Xia asked while drinking coffee as he watched a live holographic video of his foolish slave currently getting stepped on by Mo Yijun for lying to him about his father. "Lord, are you really going to Underworld City after work?" asked his aide.
[Host, those people under your husband were planning to fake a kidnapping event to gauge your attitude. But they didn't expect that your husband's father, the Prime Minister, heard about your existence and wanted to use you to warn his son. He was planning on using his spies who worked undercover within the Underworld City. They were tasked to kidnap you and show a live feed to your husband of your death.]
'Where is that bastard of a father right now?'
The villain's father is currently at the Prime Minister Palace. This mature man had similar features as Mo Yijun though he is already in his mid-forties currently seating within his own office while talking to his subordinates on the phone, about the plan of kidnapping Meng Anya as a warning to his own son. The mature man is wearing a proud demeanor but expressionless face as he issued his orders. But for some reason this prime minister doesn't even know the name of his son's lover and instead gave the young man a pseudonym, boy toy. Obviously this person doesn't care who Mo Yijun's lover is, as long as he can warn his boy to hold back his claws.
Leisurely looking at the surveillance data his system had gathered. "Pfft! Funny Old Bastard." Muttered Meng Anya.
Lin Xia called, "My Lord? It seems that Sir Mo's subordinates were planning to kidnap you as soon as you entered Underworld City without Sir Mo's permission. Do you wish for me to inform Sir Mo?" asked his aide.
"No need. It's not like they were really A'Yi's people. You'll go ahead and meet A'Yi for me. Pass a message to his for me."
Understanding his lord's meaning, he knows that someone else is intending to kidnap his lord, but seeing that his lord wants to play around, he only needs to pass a message and nothing more other than that.
"What's the message my lord?" asked Lin Xia.
"Tell Yijun: 'Go pick me up afterwards, my dear~'. You can tell him that. Oh~ It's time. I'm going now~" Said Meng Anya as he prepares to leave.
Lin Xia stood up to escort his lord. "I shall escort you by the entrance my lord."
As they left the CEO's Office a familiar face was waiting for them by the elevator. It was the renowned Business Emperor and this star's Protagonist Gong, Cao Junzi. As well as his destined partner, the Protagonist Shou, Meng Lan. Meng Anya didn't hide his annoyance upon seeing this supposedly heavenly pair of this world, which the protagonist gong pretends to not notice and approached him with a flirty smile.
Smiling delightfully. "Hello! CEO Meng. I'm Moonlight's CEO, Cao Junzi. We've met before during meetings. I've dropped by to invite CEO Meng for dinner with your little brother, Meng Lan." Said Cao Junzi without noticing that beside him, the said brother's smile is twitching about to change to something ugly.
Lin Xia and Meng Anya remained silent as if they were dumbfounded, but the truth differs as the former just decided to observe this pair of foolish actors while the latter was thinking that he had enough of playing with this pair of slag protagonists. In short, Meng Anya totally got bored with these toys and decided to let them dig their own grave with their own hands. After all Starlight Company is fully under his control, the simple tricks this pair of protagonists used before will be totally useless as the main shareholders were all on his side.
Meng Anya's decision: Ignore them for now.
Discreetly walks away from this pair of foolish people, "Hi and See you. I'm busy tonight so that is a no for the dinner invitation CEO Cao. As for my little brother, Big Uncle will join Dad for dinner tonight, you decide what do you wish to do for tonight?" said Meng Anya, ignoring the pair as he walked away while Lin Xia just nodded to them as a greeting before following after his lord to see him out.
Watching Meng Anya's back whose footsteps show no hesitation made Cao Junzi chuckles in entertainment. He's thoroughly interested in Meng Anya who could ignore him, the business emperor of their era.
Laughing, "Hahaha~ This man... is really interesting! He caught my attention for real this time. This is the first time someone walked out on me when I especially approached them! Meng Anya... a very intriguing person." Said Cao Junzi as he prepares to leave as well.
Meng Lan tried to stop him. "W-Wait, Junzi! What about dinner?" he asked expectantly.
"Oh... Ah~ I'm tired. Let's have dinner next time. See you tomorrow, Lan." replied Cao Junzi who took his leave without hesitation walking away by himself even forgetting about Meng Lan who was left on his own in front of the elevator.
Meng Lan, who was left alone, had thrown his bag on the ground in anger. He had never been pissed off as he is today than before. His eyes were glinting with undeniable hatred and jealousy while he bit his lower lips in remorse that the man he loves continues to reject his existence.
He couldn't understand how that lazy big brother of his is able to take everything that is supposed to him with just one move. In endless regret, why didn't he just try to assassinate Meng Anya instead of trying to destroy the latter's purity. He knew that as long as his brother disappeared this kind of thing would never happen. Cao Junzi, who used to be only full of ambition, starts to desire someone else. But unfortunately the target of his desires is not him at all but someone whom he was jealous of with his whole life.
Throwing tantrum. Meng Lan spoke, "Damn... Shit! Why... Just why!? That damn slut seducing my Junzi. Cao Junzi is mine... only mine. That's right Junzi is mine. Starlight is mine. Both can only be mine! Big brother you can only disappear. After you are dead then Junzi, Starlight and dad can only be mine. Hahaha~" He took his leave after picking up his things. Muttering insane things as if he had gone crazy, this time the pressure he is feeling is greater than before and Meng Lan could no longer hold back the ugly emotions he hid within his heart.
After Meng Lan took his leave in delight, he didn't even notice that someone by the empty corner of the hallway overheard his loud crazy murmuring. By the shadows, it was Lin Xia who just came back after escorting his lord by the entrance. He wanted to observe this other pair in his lord's instead. He kept his presence hidden the whole time watching Meng Lan lose his mind in envy and jealousy.
Lin Xia was on his way back and even saw Cao Junzi take his leave when he was about to wonder about where Meng Lan is. He then heard the latter lunatic muttering about Meng Lan's madness and ambition. Of course, he also commanded Milky [His watch's AI] to record the whole scene.
Lin Xia, "The lord doesn't even remember Cao Junzi much less to have spare energy to seduce him. The Lord's hands are already full with just entertaining Sir Mo. What a lunatic. One is an arrogant peacock who thinks everything should revolve around him while the other is a two faced jealous freak who passes the blame to his brother because of his incompetence."
Evening.
Meng Anya was asleep the whole time as soon as he entered the luxurious black car that was said to be sent by his beloved to bring him over to his city. He was in slumber on the journey. When Meng Anya opened his eyes, the scenery before him had greatly changed. From the interior of a luxurious car to an abandoned semi destroyed warehouse. Both his hands were pulled to his back and feet were tied with a rope.
He is currently seated at a dusty broken couch like a bag of rice and was surrounded by a group of men that looked like thugs, hitmen and mercenaries mixed together. A clamor was heard as he opened his eyes.
"Woo~ finally our princess is awake! Keke~"
"Princess~ don't be afraid. Uncle just want to play for a bit~~"
"Is this alright? Won't the big boss kill us?"
"It will be alright. We'll scare him for a bit and return him soon."
"What are you thugs playing about!? Go drag the brat over!"
"The boss said to bring him over and torture him."
"Hah! What the hell are you talking about? There is no way the boss gave an order like that!"
"Shut up! Orders from above. Bring him over."
The group were divided to those who are completely loyal to Mo Yijun and to those spies who were under orders to kill Meng Anya. After glaring at one another and arguing. One of the men from the Mo Yijun side decided to call the big boss, Mo Yijun.
"Stop fighting! Let's stop this charade and just call for the Big Boss for confirmation whether to kill the brat or not!?"
Bang* Someone from the opposed group and one who was urging for Meng Anya to be tortured then killed, pulled a gun out and shot the man who was intending to call Mo Yijun. As soon as one pulls out a gun, the others do too.
"Fuck! Why the hell did you shoot!?"
"Are you a spy!?"
"Damn! Protect the young man!"
The group that was loyal to Mo Yijun tried to get to Meng Anya's side to protect him, but the latter group was faster and dragged Meng Anya to their side like a bag of rice and put him down on a wooden chair without any gentleness at all. One of the men even pointed a gun on Meng Anya's head with an evil grin on his face.
"Don't move! Else I'll blow off this princess' head~"
Upon hearing that the loyal group really stopped moving as they looked at Meng Anya's pale white scared expression. At the moment Meng Anya is acting like a weak little princess that was caught by the bad guys. His expressions were showing extreme fear, his face twisted as if he was about to cry any minute, while even trembling like his soul was about to fly out his body. His current state made those from the loyal group think that this young master is indeed a useless and weak man that seduces their boss. They couldn't help but click their tongues in disappointment but there is fear in the heart. Thinking how their boss would treat them if something really happens to this little princess. They could only try to beg the other side to not hurt Meng Anya.
"Stop! Don't harm the kid!"
"Hehe~ Good! Throw your guns and weapons our way and we'll tie you up."
"Don't worry. Our task was only to torture this boy and kill him in front of Big boss. I mean the Big Boss's son."
"..."
"Hurry! Do you want your lady boss' head to explode like a squashed watermelon!?"
"S-Stop! STOP! We'll do it!"
Seeing the gun pointed at Meng Anya the loyal group could only do what they asked for. Guns, knives and all other things that can be used as a weapon were all thrown at the ground, towards the other group without hesitation. They were more afraid of Meng Anya's death than their own. After all the boy is their big boss only beloved. When the boss returned to the mansion this afternoon, they saw how his deadpan face changed to a smile whenever Meng Anya was mentioned by their leader, Ye Baiyu.
They then knew in their heart that Meng Anya was truly their boss' most precious person, but the reputation of Meng Anya as a hedonist little young master is infamous in the whole capital and they couldn't accept that someone like that is chosen to be their Lady Boss. They just couldn't accept it which is why they've planned to prank kidnapped the boy and scared him off.
They have never expected that their enemies will take advantage of their foolishness putting the boy in grave danger. If Meng Anya died here, the big boss will kill not only the spies, but also them which they truly deserved if the boy truly died. After the other group of men tied up the rest of the people who are completely loyal to Mo Yijun, someone from the opposed group brought out a tablet and video called Mo Yijun.
Currently, Mo Yijun just received the message from his wife's aide, Lin Xia, who just arrived in this mansion. As soon as the message was passed to him by his wife's aide, he immediately took off with Ye Baiyu and Lin Xia following behind them. The subordinates who didn't agree to pranking the Lady Boss and stayed in the mansion the whole time came with them intending to look for the others.
They've all confessed to their boss and leader about their comrades' foolish plan of trying to scare their future's lady boss. As soon as Mo Yijun heard about their plan and Lin Xia's message that his wife was kidnapped, his expressions turned completely dark with anger. if not because his wife's life is in danger that he would had punished his people for being this stupid. He immediately used Galaxia to pinpoint his wife's location.
The heavenly defying surveillance system only took a few minutes to give him the exact location of Meng Anya. They've all left to save him. They are currently in the car, on their way to the location Galaxia has pointed out for them. The place is not that far from the mansion as the abandoned warehouse is located at the outskirts of the Underworld City. It was by then that he received a video call from his supposed subordinate that ended up as a spy from his father's side.
As the video call connected, the image of his wife being tied up and grabbed by hair to force him to look at the camera with wet misty eyes appeared on his tablet's monitor. As soon as he saw that scene, the grip on the tablet was further hardened. It was Ye Baiyu who saved the tablet from his Big Boss anger.
"Fuck! What the hell are you shits doing!?" shouted Ye Baiyu on the tablet.
"My Lord!" said Lin Xia.
Mo Yijun's face darkened with anger, his eyes were turning red from immense hatred, fear, and rage. "If you... harm Anya... I will kill you." Said Mo Yijun with a zero-degree emotionless voice.
