A Royal Engagement

Call

(QING)

32 hours since the kidnapping

Chong and I entered the interrogation room where Heise was being held. He sat on the same chair where Li Yi sat when we caught her trying to harm Dayu by burning the Consort's room and bed with Lao in it.

Heise's shot hand is cleanly bandaged. He looked disheveled and I know that he fought the security that is why both his hands are now cuffed to the armrest of the seat where he is sitting.

"Where is Baozang?" He immediately asked upon seeing us.

"Safe," is my answer as I sat pn the chair in front of him. "Now, where is Dayu?" I asked him in return.

"I want to talk to Baozang," Heise won't even look at us directly. He is looking at the square room like he is afraid it will close down on him.

"Tell us where Dayu is, first..." I swallowed as I felt anger rise inside me. I want to kill this man right here, right now. The slap mark on my sister's face is enough reason to kill him. But Heise still has Dayu and I have to know where he stashed my fiance.

"I want Baozang..." Heise kept on saying my sister's name.

I had enough. I stood and reach for his collar, "Where is Dayu?! Where is he?!" I started shaking Heise and Chong is not stopping me. He just stood beside my chair like a witness that see nothing or hear nothing.

Heise started focusing on me. Then his eyes cleared up and he gave me a mocking smile, "Feng Jian Yu? You will never see him again..." he said in a laughing tone.

I froze. Right there. Standing up with my hands on his collar, I froze.

What does he mean, I will never see Dayu again? Did he mean...he...Dayu...

That's when Chong moved. He took my hands off Heise's collar and slam Heise's head in the hard wood table with just enough force to make it hurt. Heise groaned in fear as Chong push his head on the table using his big hand. Chong lean lower, "You must be hearing the Prince wrong, he is asking where the Consort is. Don't give us bullshit about not seeing him again..."

Heise laughed, "But I am not saying any bullshits. You will never see him again and..." Chong grabbed Heise hair, pulled his head up and then slam it again on the table. Heise almost shout this time as Chong pinned his head again.

"Chong...stop..." I said. "Before you kill him..."

"I will really kill him. His only purpose to us is Dayu's whereabouts. If he will keep quiet about that, I can make sure he can keep quiet about it forever..." Chong's tone is not kidding. He will really kill Heise.

"If you kill him, I will lose my Consort." I told him. "Heise knows where Dayu is..."

"But he is bullshitting us. So I say, let's kill him and ask the people around this maggot to give us informations that we need. Let's not waste our time with him and just kill him so we can start looking for your Consort," Chong argued.

That is possible too. But Heise likes operating alone. Who will we ask for more information? If not for Li Yi...

Chong let Heise go and goes back to his station beside my chair. I didn't sit again. "Let's think about this. Dayu was taken with Baozang. Baozang is with Heise," I gestured to Heise who is slowly sitting straight again, there's a small cuts on his temple and cheekbone when Chong slammed his head on the table. Scrapes.
