754 Not Her Son
Day Seventy-Eight...
[ Hideout...]
The leader of the armed group who kidnapped Old Man Xu knocked him down inside the car. They tied him up and covered his eyes with blindfolds. The moment he woke up, he could feel his hands and feet were tied on a chair. He couldn't see anything. But Old Man Xu could hear the footsteps around him.
"I think he is awake, Boss," one of them spoke up, calling the attention of their leader when he saw Old Man Xu's movement.
"Just let him be. He is just an old man. He can't escape from his binds." The leader sneered as he watched Old Man Xu.
"Our Madam is coming today to check on him. Should we give him food? He might be hungry. Or at least give him some water to drink!" The underling seemed to be worried about Old Man Xu.
The leader smacked his head because of that. "Don't feel bad about that old man. He is rich."
Old Man Xu was just listening to them. He wondered who the mastermind was behind this abduction. "They mentioned Madam. So it's a woman! Old Man Xu tried to figure out who wanted to kidnap him and for what reason.
"Hey! Can I talk to both of you?" Old Man Xu decided to negotiate with them while their big boss was not yet around.
He heard someone approaching him. "Old man, stop being arrogant. You are here in our territory and no one can save you." The leader of the group mocked him. He even grabbed Old Man Xu's chin, pinching his jaw using his fingers.
"How much did she pay you? I can triple the amount." Old Man Xu made a generous offer in exchange for his freedom.
The leader and his underling just exchanged glances with one another. It did not take long before a burst of crisp laughter bubbled up in the air. The leader just laughed at his tempting offer.
"That's a tempting offer, old man. Unfortunately, we are loyal to our Boss. She can pay us more with a bonus." The leader proudly said. His gang was under the protection of King Stallion Mafia. Monica made it happen. But in exchange, they would give her their loyalty.
"Then at least tell me why I am here. Are you going to kill me?" Old Man Xu continued asking them. He needed some answers.
"It depends on our Boss. She will decide on your fate." The gang leader responded nonchalantly.
Old Man Xu had no choice but to wait. He wondered if the mastermind would show up and talk to him, revealing her identity. 'Damn! I have to investigate MAximilian's death. But I ended up being captured by these men. Who is powerful enough to do this? Is it my son, Vincent?'
Just like Jane, Old Man Xu began suspecting Vincent and his involvement in this incident.
"BOSS! Our Madam is here!" A voice was heard coming from the entrance door.
'She's here! Old Man Xu braced himself. He was dying to find out the identity of his abductor.
Monica entered the hideout, the distinct click-clack of her heels echoing with each step she took. As she advanced, a menacing grin adorned Monica's face. Her eyes, sharp and calculating, surveyed the scene. There, in the center of the room, sat Chairman Xu, bound to a shabby chair, his once-authoritative demeanor reduced to a mere semblance of power.
"Madam! You came earlier than we expected." The gang leader greeted her politely.
Monica just waved her hand with an air of authority. She was dismissing them, motioning for them to leave. The gang leader and his underling retreated immediately, stepping out of the room.
Monica grabbed a chair and sat down facing Old Man Xu. She observed him for a moment, enjoying the view.
"Who are you? Why do you want from me?" Old Man Xu broke the silence. He needed to hear her voice so that he could identify her.
But to his surprise, the woman approached him and tugged his blindfold, allowing him to see her face. His eyes widened upon seeing Helena's face.
"Hello, Chairman Xu, long time no see." She let out a sarcastic laugh.
"Monica!" Old Man Xu uttered her name through his gritted teeth, his eyes burning with rage. He resented this woman a lot.
"You show your true face, Monica. I'm not surprised. You and your evil schemes." Old Man Xu ridiculed her.
But Monica was unaffected by his anger. She just laughed, provoking him further.
"It's your fault for being a nosy old man. You forced me to take action. You even get my DNA sample without my consent. This is how I will make you pay. But don't worry. I won't kill you just yet. However, you can never leave this place. You will be stuck here unless I decide otherwise," Monica declared, her lips curling into an evil smile.
Monica circled around the restrained Old Man Xu, reveling in the power she held over him. The click of her heels punctuated the tense silence, creating an eerie soundtrack to the unfolding confrontation.
"Your days of meddling are over, Chairman Xu. You underestimated me, thinking you could pry into my affairs without consequences. Now, you're at my mercy," Monica taunted, her tone laced with a sinister satisfaction.
"But, Monica, you can't escape the consequences of your actions," Old Man Xu retorted, his voice betraying a hint of defiance.
Monica chuckled, turning to face him. "Consequences, Chairman? The only consequence you'll face is the realization that you're utterly powerless in this game. Your fate lies in my hands."
"My son will find me soon." Old Man Xu uttered, putting his trust in Nathan.

"We will see." Monica put on a smug smile.
"Are you Ethan's mother? Or is it Helena?" Old Man Xu grabbed this chance to confront Monica, hoping that this woman would answer him truthfully. He could tell that Monica was hiding something. "Sooner or later, the truth will come out. You can't tamper with DNA results this time."contemporary romance
"You are making me laugh, old man. But since you are not getting out here, then let me tell you a secret." Monica looked at him meaningfully.
"Ethan is not my son. That's all I can say to you. In fact, I'm going to target that child soon. If you want, I can also bring your grandson here to reunite with you. hahaha."
Old Man Xu: "..."
'I wanna kill this woman! She's a monster! A psycho!'
