Chapter 89: High fidelity.

While Qin Qianyu was working with DDT's scientific team before heading to Mu Liang's room, a heated conversation over the phone was taking place in Shenlong base.

"Wen Wenxiong! Wú Ting is your son! Why aren't you at Central General too!? . . Is that stupid research more important than your own son!?"

Xi Susu complained angrily to her husband. As one of the country's leading biologist and biochemist he should have been the first person to meet their son at the hospital, but, he wasn't even in the same city let alone province.

"Susu, of course it isn't, I was the first one out the door! Yet, I was dragged out of the truck at the damn gate. I'm not joking, I was physically dragged out, and now I've just been told I'm confined to quarters and cant even leave this god damn lab until further notice!"

" . . . "

"Susu, believe me! I want to be there as much as you want me there! I'm just glad they gave me an outside line, at least I can confer with the team sent over there at the very least."

Xi Susu still wasn't calmed down,

"Put Xiaoling on at least let me hear her voice."

" . . . "

"Wenxiong? . . "

"Susu, I haven't seen or heard from Wú Ling since we got here,"

"WHAT!"

"We have one son in hospital under lockdown, another in jail! and now you're telling me our baby has gone missing on a damn military base and you have no idea where she even is!? . . "

"What the actual hell! Wen Wenxiong! . . "

"Xu Susu! . . Am I the only parent here!?"

" . . . "

"What do you want me to do!? Huh!? Tell me! . . Father has practically locked me away here! He's the one that ordered my stay, he's the one that had ordered Wú Ling to come here, he's the one that doesn't want me heading to the hospital!"

" . . . "

"Susu! You know yourself that anything I say or do falls on deaf ears with him. I only have to do what he! says, and do it till he gets the results that he wants. Your father has always been like that!"

" . . . "

"If you're telling me to disobey your fathers order just say the word. If you want us to break away from them all tell me now. I'll go and hunt down where our daughter is and we'll be back on the next flight home."

" . . . "

"Susu? . . Susu! What's wrong?"

The line was totally silent then a solemn voice sounded out on the other end,

"Wenxiong, since its fathers will, we . . We'll do as he wants,"

Even though husband and wife couldn't see each other, they both knew that the other was cupping their foreheads in frustration.

Wen Wenxiong sighed. He tried persuading again but the phone call ended and he was met with a dial tone.

Wen Wenxiong knew that If it weren't for the fact that it was Xi Susu's father giving out a command then she would have flew down here herself and dragged him out the gate.

But, it was fact, and Xi Susu had an insanely high fidelity towards her father.

His word was gold covered in gold. His word was law that governs all laws and his word was final, absolutely final.

Wen Wenxiong threw the phone receiver then swept his arms across his desk tossing the contents they collided with onto the ground.

Xi Susu on the other hand sat on the sofa staring at her hand phone.

While she was talking with Wen Wenxiong, she received a message telling her that if she and her husband wanted to leave the Xi family then they were welcomed to do so, the only catch was they could only take Wen Wú Ping with them and the youngest and eldest would stay with her father, the kids grandfather.

Wen Wenxiong had it all wrong, maybe once upon a time Xi Susu showed fidelity towards her father, now though, it was straight fear.

She couldn't believe that her father was this kind of person, to not only seperate husband and wife but also parents from children.

Xi Susu noticed that her father demeanour had grown increasingly agitated since the SIC scandal was revealed.

Wen Wú Ling had been in an excited mood to head to Fenghuang with her father because she would be able to meet up with her friend Qin Qianyu but, they were in the air when the scandal broke out, then, while they were at the airport after landing, Wen Wenxiong suddenly received a message from his father-in-law for him to bring Wen Wú Ling to see him and head to Shenlong base and report for duty.

He and his daughter had been there ever since then.

Xi Susu sat all alone on the sofa inside her large empty home, she was sat there lost in thought contemplating her family issues.

With her brows knitted together she came to a decisive decision.

Xi Susu reached into her bag and pulled out another phone. She looked around her house and decided to go for a drive around the city.

Meanwhile back at the hospital Qin Qianyu was just leaving her friends in their room and made her way towards another room inside the ward.

After some time she found the room she was looking for. She entered without knocking and found Wen Wú Ting sitting up in his bed and looking out the window in a daze.

"Yo! . . Not tired?"

Qin Qianyu's voice pull Wen Wú Ting out of his trance like thoughts and shook his head as he cast a glance at Qin Qianyu.

She went over to the end of his bed and picked up his chart. After going through it she was satisfied the he was physically fine.

Qin Qianyu took a seat next to him and asked for his wrist. He offered it with out a second thought and Qin Qianyu sat there for a while and examined his pulse in silence.

Since Qin Qianyu had entered the room and brought him out of his thoughts his eyes never left her.

Prior to Qin Qianyu coming in he was lost in thought over a phone call he just finished. He couldn't understand the contents and why it had to be like that.

The reason for this perplexed him and it gave him poise for thought as mixed emotions ran through him.

Wen Wú Ting stared at Qin Qianyu's lips, her smile, he hadn't forgotten her smile not even once.

Even while working it invaded his mind, the small dimples her facial muscles made as the lips were pulled up into that stirring smile was intoxicating to him.

Then without forethought he uttered out,

"I like you,"

"Mhm?"

"I said I like you,"

"I like me too,"

"I'm being serious,"

"Well, just because you're being serious doesn't mean I have to take you seriously."

" . . . "

"Besides, I don't know if you've noticed but I'm a female, a woman, the opposite of what you are."

" . . . "

Qin Qianyu continued to check Wen Wú Ting's pulse and noticed some slight rippling.

The fluctuations weren't small. She then took a deep breath and sighed heavily,

"I'll leave a note to have your oxytocin levels checked, it maybe a little high. Although high levels are predominantly seen in females, in stressful encounters or even high adrenaline situations like what you have just experienced, this hormone likes to come into play at those times too."

"Hormones?"

"Mhm, . . "

"Saying you like me is a key indicator of this. That and you're most probably confused some wired emotive's thus emotionally creating what we normally call the nightingale effect. It's just a chemical imbalance and it's easily fixed."

"I'm not gay."

"Oh? . . Well . . Good for you. But I'm referring to the oxytocin hormone causing an imbalance not your sexuality. I'm not fussed either way, I don't and won't judge you. Your choice is your choice."

"What . . What if I choose you?"

Qin Qianyu looked at Wen Wú Ting and shook her head,

"Those things on the side of your head are as useful as a concrete parachute!"

Qin Qianyu quipped as she pointed out his two ears.

" . . . "

"Tsk! . . What's with people having painted on ears today? . . "

First it was the Lu's with the gifts, then the DDT scientist and now the handsome wolf.

Qin Qianyu felt as if she'd been talking to brick walls for the last 24 hours.

Qin Qianyu got up, she wanted to examine the puncture wound on his neck and also do a thorough examination so she could devise a full diagnostic treatment plan for him.

However, as she got up, Wen Wú Ting followed as well and stood in front of her. Qin Qianyu noted a slight change in his eyes,

He grabbed Qin Qianyu by the waist tightly and pulled her into him the same as she had done to him at the Evergreen dragons club.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm doing what I need to do,"

"Mhm?"

"I'll prove to you that I'm a man, a man that only likes women, a man that only likes you!"

Wen Wú Ting half pulled and half went in as he opened his mouth and tried to press his lips into hers.

He felt that her mask was in the way so he tried to lift it up and off.

He done so with rapt anticipation in his eyes, he wanted to see all of this woman that had started to fill his heart and captivated him so, however,

Qin Qianyu frowned madly and clamped her lips tightly as her lips pursed in utter disgust.

Using the index and forefingers as a point, she thrust them towards and into his rotator cuff.

This caused Wen Wú Ting's arms to fall to his sides as a sharp pain ripped through both his shoulders.

Next, with the edge of her palm, she smacked the tip of is chin cupping part of his jaw from underneath and thrust upwards.

Following up from that using a knuckle from her forefinger, she hit Wen Wú Ting just under his sternum pushing in, then upwards causing him to become winded.

To finish it all off she grabbed him by the neck and held him against the wall.

Wen Wú Ting tried to say something, but every time he did, Qin Qianyu would squeeze even harder.

His eyes went large and started turning red as he started losing oxygen. Qin Qianyu snarled at him then stated angrily,

"Listen to me well! Don't you dare try and force yourself on me or any other woman for that matter!"

" . . Bagh,"

"You don't know me! And I don't want you to know! It goes both ways too. I don't know you! And I don't want to know. You say you like me and go pull out shit like this!? Out of all the times we've met, our entire interactions don't even make up 24 hours! Shit! At most it's only a few hours at best and you're telling me that you like me!?"

" . . I . Guh. . Shawry!"

"Sorry!? . . We aren't close! There's definitely no close bond between us that could warrant even a peck on the cheek let alone you trying to force your tongue down my throat!"

" . . . "

"Since there's no bond between us let's keep it that way. Just know that the good impression I had for you doesn't exist anymore."

"To me, you're no different than . . "

Qin Qianyu was about to say Song Zhaoge's name but stopped short of that.

Qin Qianyu tossed the almost chocked out man towards his bed. He rolled then flipped of landing on the ground on the opposite side.

He got up off the floor massaging his red neck as he looked in Qin Qianyu's direction wanting to apologise. But, all he saw was the door to his room closing.

Wen Wú Ting stared stupidly at the closed door. He realised then that Qin Qianyu must have been in a bad relationship prior or at the very least had been forced by someone and now he's found himself in the same category as the person or people she despises in her mind and eyes.

"FUCK! You're a damn idiot!"

Wen Wú Ting admonished himself. He cursed himself over and over.

Soon his thoughts were broken by the sound of his phone ringing.

Wen Wú Ting looked to the phone that still had a connection to the outside world.

The number displayed made him shudder.

"Why is he ringing me again?"

He sighed then answered it immediately.

A low husky voice sounded out. It was gravelly but had a sense of power behind its tone.

"What the fuck were you thinking!? . . You want to disobey me now, is that it!? Didn't I just tell you to severe all ties with that witch doctor!? But you go and tell her you like her!?"

Wen Wú Ting's eyes went wide. He got off his bed and he searched everywhere with his eyes trying to find anything that shouldn't be there.

"Is he spying on me?"

Wen Wú Ting thought,

The call he had just finished before Qin Qianyu had entered his room was from the very same man he was speaking with now.

The earlier call that had his emotions all out of whack were because this man had asked him if he held anyone in his heart.

Wen Wú Ting admitted that he did, it was the Phantom Fox, Qin Qianyu. It was then the man told him to severe all connections to her.

" . . I . ."

"Shut your damn mouth boy! I told you that I've already found the perfect woman for you. You will marry this girl. You will treat her better than you treat yourself. When you do, you will hold no other person in your mind, in your eyes and in your heart. That is why you, Ting'er, can't have any distractions, especially thoughts of any other woman, other than her."

"So cast ALL thoughts of that damnable witch doctor from your damn mind and don't you dare think about her anymore. Not one thought or else I'll end you! Do you understand?"

" . . . "

Wen Wú Ting said nothing. He was trying to make sense of why he had to marry a woman he's never met rather than try and pursue Qin Qianyu.

The voice on the other end went low as he slowly growled threateningly at Wen Wú Ting,

"Do . . you . . understand!"

"Yes . . I understand,"

There was a moment of silence before the man continued,

"Good, I'll tell you now, this woman I've chosen for you, she's extremely loyal to those close to her heart. It's your destiny to be with her, only you, no one else. But, you have to make sure yourself that there would be no one else."

"You're going to have to work hard, I've laid a pathway into her circle of friends for you, do well to charm her and make her yours and yours alone. Believe me when I say this . . "

"She'll be the shining light for all of us. Your future and especially mine! Depend on you winning her heart alone."

"I understand Master,"

"Hm? . . We're family, why are you being distant with me?"

"Sorry Grandfather,"

"Oh, and pay no mind to your mothers call. Just concentrate on charming your future wife."

"Mother's call?"

Wen Wú Ting's grandfather said no more and ended the call. As he did, Wen Wú Ting's phone rang again, it was his mother's secret phone.

"How did he . . "

Wen Wú Ting sighed and tossed the phone not bothering to answer as he was ordered to do by his grandfather.

He lay on the bed and lightly massaged his throat.

Soon he started slapping his own face hard. It was all because of what he had tried to do. He didn't expect that what had unfolded would be the end result.

In his mind, it was filled with the two of them kissing passionately while hitting against the walls, rolling on the floor and bed.

He imagined his hands roving her body as hers did the same to him. But, it wasn't like that at all.

As he kept slapping himself he couldn't help but replay the words she spoke, and the angry and disappointed look her eyes must have had while she looked at him.

Wen Wú Ting couldn't block out the hate filled sneer on the Fox's lips when she berated him and his actions.
