4 Chapter 4 Bit by bit

Li Mei wailed as she saw them taking away her daughter. Hailing a cab, she followed them as she whispered to herself," We are getting my baby out of there. She won't sleep there even a single day."

As soon as Li Fei was taken away, Wang Mel called his Boss. "Speak," he instructed the moment he picked up. "Master, she has just been taken," he said. Silence followed before Jin Liwei said," You know what you have to do."

With that, Wang Mel entered his car and followed the police car.

After the phonecall, Jin Liwei resumed what he had been doing. Analyzing all the information about that woman, Li Fei whose life he was going to make a living hell. She is a renowned model and socialite in Beijing, the elder and only daughter of the Li family. She is spoiled and doted on by the family. 'This was going to be interesting,' he thought. The family owned the Li enterprises situated in Beijing and according to him, they were just an average family. It was so easy to crush them just by the snap of his fingers but he decided to do it bit by bit. That way, it will be painful. He further checked about Li Fei and he noticed that most people on her social media were complaining of how rude and arrogant she is. He also discovered that she had a competitor or enemy, Liu Han.

The corners of his lips curled into nearly a cruel smile as he imagined how he was going to torture Li Fei. He wasn't going to feel an ounce of guilt because she wasn't a good person either. Had she been good, maybe, he would have been considerate in his revenge. Closing his laptop, he called someone and when he picked up, he instructed," I want the Li enterprises in Beijing bankrupt in a week." "Right away, sir," replied the person before he hung up.

When Li Fei reached the police station, she found Hu Feng with someone who seemed to be a lawyer waiting for her. "Li Fei, am here for you," he said as soon as he saw them approaching and all she could do was nod at him. When Wang Mel reached, he was seen talking to an officer and soon, Li Fei was taken inside a cell. "Officer, what are you doing, our lawyer is here. Let's talk things over," said Hu Feng desperately. "We shall talk about this case tomorrow. We have a lot of issues at hand," he replied not bothering to look at them. Just then, Li Mei reached the station and when her eyes landed on Hu Feng," Where's FeiFei?" "She's been locked up and they're not listening to us," he told her and she stormed to the officer's table. "Sir! I'm Li Mei, Mistress of the Li family in Beijing, we can talk things over with Mr Jin and the family to reach to an agreement- "

" Madam! We're busy. You either leave or I lock you up too," the officer warned seriously. "Okay. Listen, my daughter is sick. She's not yet discharged from the hospital. She has to take medicine and she's also hungry. Please let her eat something first," she pleaded but they didn't care about her. She called her husband again but he didn't pick up. Walking towards Hu Feng and the lawyer, she asked, "What are we going to do?" "I guess we shall come back tomorrow Mr Hu," said the lawyer before leaving. "I'm not leaving this place without FeiFei," Li Mei declared and Assistant Wang Mel sent her a glare. A while later, he called his boss informing him of how things were and he said that he could leave.

Slowly as time passed, it turned dark yet none of the two had left the station. They had been kicked out of the station and decided to sit outside the stairs. Hu Feng sincerely loved Li Fei despite her arrogant and stubborn nature. His feelings for her had always been true and he was looking forward to their wedding. He wasn't giving up on her no matter what. He had endured all throughout these years for the love he felt for her and knowing her prideful nature, it torn his heart apart thinking that she's behind bars right this moment.

A while later, he said," Mrs Li, I think we should leave and come back tomorrow morning because they are adamant on talking to us." "I'm not leaving without FeiFei, never!" she stubbornly insisted and he could only sigh. He couldn't leave his mother in law here. When it clocked eleven, they noticed that several criminals were being brought at the station. Hu Feng decided to try again," Mrs Li, I think we should go. We have to be strong for Li Fei. Right this moment, you have to stand with her, and there's no way it can happen if you're sick." After a few times of convincing, Li Mei agreed and they left the station.

Sitting in a cold cell, Li Fei couldn't control the tears that kept gushing from her eyes. She had never thought that a day could come when she's a prisoner. And charged with murder! She knew that even if she got out of this place, she will never forgive herself for killing a pregnant woman. She imagined how the woman's family and husband might be cursing her right now. She wondered if a day would ever come and they forgive her. It was too late for her to change. Too late. She wondered what fate had in store for her. Li Fei couldn't help but wonder how her friends were doing. Were they alive? She had completely forgotten about them.

She was later woken up by a loud bang on her cell, which jolted her from sleep. She wondered when she fell asleep. Her whole body ached as a result of sleeping on the floor and she winced.
