Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 408 - The young maiden who saved His Majesty's life is Ms. Liu Hua's daughter.

Though Gao Fan's expression was all stoic, in his serious eyes one could easily see the amazement in it. His eyes stared at the laptop without giving any blink, taking in all the sharp and swift movement of the woman. For a second, he could not tell it was the same lady he has met a few times now. The woman he was looking at on the screen seemed someone totally different.

All this while what he failed to look at was the expression on Feng Shufen's face that was already trying to contain the storm that was brewing inside him. His eyes, all cold and frosty staring at the screen, particularly looking at the droplets of blood dropping down Li Xue's hands. At this moment, the new side of Li Xue was not a concern in his eyes.

He has never thought that the woman whom he has tried to keep under the care of his best security men will be more capable than any average fighter. Though her moves were lacking practice, he could still see them in the best light given to the way she was handling the obstacles on her way.

But that was until he heard a sharp gunshot in the air and his eyes spotted Li Xue's silhouette dropping down on the floor, all limp and frail. His eyes went still before the blazing cold winds of the Antarctic Circle in the air.

Before the video could proceed any further the screen went black, marking the video with an end. The team of hackers has informed earlier that breaking into their CCTV footage system was not hard. They have tried breaking it several times and have succeeded. But just the moment they could get success in retrieving the data needed, the system would ban them from building another firewall for them to break.

Maybe Feng Shufen has found his way to break into the system but before he could download all of its data from it, it went off again.

Gao Fan was also taken aback. Subconsciously or maybe consciously, his eyes went to stare down at his Boss but before he could do or say something, a command came to make the air go more suffocating.

"I want to be there in the next 5 minutes". Feng Shufen's words rolled out the same as some command from the God of Death itself, promising something worse coming, if not fulfilled.

The secretary looked at the driver who was already shivering in ca old sweat. It was not Du Fan on the show. If it had been him then he would have remained all composed at the situation like this, since serving the Boss for such long years, he has already grown all used to it. But since the driver serving them now was a noob …

Knowing the severity of the situation, Gao Fan sighed internally as he asked, looking at Feng Shufen whose expressions were getting worse with every passing second. "President Feng, I think it will be better if I drive. This road is almost clear and I have the knowledge of the speed we need now".

The man did not say anything. He just looked at his secretary and gave a nod. Getting the approval, he needed, he turned to the driver and said, "Stop the car and get out. I will drive the rest of the way". The frigidness in his tone was no less. It can too send people shivering down on their knees.

The driver instantly obliged and soon Gao Fan got himself settled in the driver seat tearing the way to reach the destination.

Back in Chiboa. Within the elegant wall designs of Royal Palace,

In the light of burning flames of the fireplace, the king was relaxing on his cushioned rocking chair, with his eyes closed. Irrespective of the heaters switched on at the palace, he still preferred the warmth that the fireplace provided to him.

Suddenly with some rustling sound of the wind, his relaxed attention got alerted as his eyes went to look towards a particular direction. Though due to the strict royal etiquette none of the footsteps was audible in the air, the speedy movement in any particular direction would cause the rustling of the curtains in the air.

The Royal King did not say anything. He waited to see the person to reveal himself. At this late hour, not everyone has the permission to seek the King, only the butler apart from the close royal family could come to meet him.

Given the habit of early sleep, the Queen was already in her room and knowing his son well, he knew at this hour he would not even be in the palace, less talk about him coming to his father to have some good talk. Left alone with only one option, the man was sure that it must be the butler coming his way.

And as expected soon the old man strolled in with some swift movements. "Your Majesty!" he greeted, cupping his hands in front while bowing his head slightly. "Sorry for disturbing you at this hour, but …"

"Your, being here itself at this hour notifies me of something important, Butler Cao. You don't have to apologize for it. Just tell me what severe has come to your notice now?" The king asked as his lips gave a plain smile. His head again turned to look at the burning fire at the fireplace.

Staring at the burning flames, a thought crossed the King's mind as he contemplated in his internal thoughts. 'Nature is truly good at playing the games on the dilemma. The flames that are providing life saving warmth to the people near it, also burns the existence of the wooden logs in it'. Though the words sounded simple, the meaning engraved in it had much greater depths.

Shaking head on his own thoughts, he turned to look at the old man again, giving him a cue to start his words soon.

The old butler looked, getting a little hesitant of his words. But knowing that he would not be able to delay the things more, he said, "The young maiden, Ms. Li Xue, who has saved His Majesty's life earlier is Ms. Liu Hua's daughter."
