Jing Shaoqing's face turned ugly when heard his brother cross the boundaries of narcissism all shamelessly. "Jing Wei Jin! Do you want me to doubt your abilities now?" His lips twitching at the corners.
Seeing his brother at the edge, the man let out a chuckle and shook his head. "I dare not, brat. Fine, tell me what is it? What mess did you create again? If this is another problem that came out from your rash anger, then this time you won't be saved from going for anger management classes".
Jing Wei Jin said again as he leisurely sipped his coffee, enjoying the agitated face of his younger brother. It was fun to see his small nose flaring up in annoyance every time he teases him.
When heard his elder one finally relenting to him, Jing Shaoqing took a deep breath in before continuing the matter with all seriousness in his eyes as well as voice. "Brother, Boss has got captured by the Feng of Feng Internationals." He said, emphasizing clearly the name Feng. Though there were not many Feng families in the country, still emphasizing on one particular felt a type of necessary to him.
And Jing Wei Jin did not need any more hints to know which special Feng his brother was talking about. Just the mention of that name and his eyes that were holding the playfulness just moments ago got replaced with a bone-chilling coldness the next moment. The teasing smirk that was on his lips all this time also disappeared as if it had never existed in the first place.
The people who were having their doubts behind were all paused in one second, witnessing the sudden change in the demeanor of the man. Was this the same personality which was seeming all easy-going to them moments ago?
None would agree if asked. They would all feel that all this time, they were just having the illusion of mirage which was just their mere stupid, wishful thinking.
Jing Shaoqing, being all known to his brother, also didn't fail to notice this change. But witnessing him like that, his expression didn't show any change as if all this time he had already expected this to come. Remaining nonchalant to the sudden transpose he continued, "It all happened because of me, Brother. Boss had asked us to stay down for some time but due to my recklessness, I ruined it all. …"
Keeping his patience for the first time in check, the young boy explained all of it, without hiding even a dot of it and taking all the blame on his shoulders. But even when he said it all, there wasn't even a line of change in the man's expressions. It remained all cold as it was before. Looking at him like that it was tough to say if he has even heard the story, the boy has sung to him.
"Brother! Are your ears even working ?" Jing Shaoqing asked, getting all perplexed by the lack of reaction from the other side. His fingers clenching again on the table, but before any action from those fists could come, the air became mysterious when the man erupted with a comical yet death calming laughter, confusing everyone out their brain wits.
"…" Shaoqing was dumbfounded. For once, he felt like he could not understand his brother. Though it was already hard for him to decipher the looks and meaning behind his simple-sounding complex words of his brother, he used to still understand their meaning putting a little extra of his brains into it. But today this laughter was different. He could not bring himself to understand it, no matter how he looked at it.
"Was that all?" Once that laughter ended, the question came from Jing Wei Jin which further confused the young boy.
Knitting his brows together, he looked dumbfoundedly as the man on the screen and said. "I … I was saying that we need to rescue Boss as fast as we can. We cannot delay it. And …" Before he could even complete the same old story again and ask what his thoughts and plans were regarding it, the topic was brought to a full stop.
"Your words are boring me now!"
And the next instant, the laptop screen turned black indicating that the connection was mercilessly brought to an end without waiting for the other side to even complete his words.
Jing Shaoqing was all stunned, not understanding how he should react to this. A few minutes before, he was angry and was ready to force his brother to come and help him but now … he was too bewildered to understand what result has come out from the talks he had with his brother.
Not only he but all the men, who were hiding in the darkness behind were confused. Since the call was already disconnected, they did not stow away for long and came to the front to ask, "Young Qing, what does that mean? Did Master Jing say that he will come to our Boss's rescue or did he mean that he is not interested?"
Jing Shaoqing's expression turned all ugly as he glared at the man and growled in a low voice, enough to make him stumble on his footing. He, himself, had no idea of it. How was he going to respond to their questions?
"We don't need to beg his mercy? Since he already has heard it all, let him decide on his own. We are not his dog to beg" He said before getting up and walking away, stomping his foot on the floor, like a kid whose demands were ruthlessly forsaken without giving any second thought to it.
But just when he was about to get out of the room, his phone rang from the same familiar number. Grudgingly looking at the caller id for some time, he finally received the call. "What is it now? Hasn't your life become interesting enough after disconnecting the call?"
A rumble of playful laughter rang as the nerve-twisting words came next. "How can it become interesting without seeing my brat beg me like a dog?"
"You …"
"But anyway it's not the time for you to turn into a dog. Instead, get ready and wait for my men to arrive there. They will help you find your Boss if he is still alive in this world". The words interrupted and just as it got completed the connection died again, marking again a ruthless end to the conversation.
