This is my order

Instantly hearing his words, Su Junhan arched his brows. Giving him a peculiar look, he asked, "You don't have any other important work to do?"

Su Xian hesitated. "No, Father, I have. But this mission -"

".…will be only completed by Yanruo. No one else is going to interfere with it," Su Junhan said, interrupting his son and completing the sentence.

"But Father -"

"Do you both want to get punished by me?" Su Junhan asked coldly. His eyes narrowed at Su Xian and Xia Ming, his dangerous aura spreading wide, daring them to speak another word against his orders.

"Enough," Su Yanruo interrupted them coldly. "I am going tomorrow," she said.

Su Junhan smirked.

Without giving them any further glance, she turned around and started walking towards the stairs. "Yanruo, come, let's have dinner," Su Junhan said.

"Not hungry," Su Yanruo muttered and walked upstairs without looking back.

Seeing her destitute and cold back disappearing upstairs, Xia Ming and Su Xian felt sad for her. This was a very ordinary scenario in the Su Mansion. They knew everything, but they couldn't do anything. "Uncle, you are too much." Xia Ming accused. In her heart, she was already thinking about sneaking away and going onto that cruise ship to help her sister.

"Xia Ming, tomorrow, you are going to spend your whole day with me," he ordered.

"What? Why would I do that? Uncle, do you think I want to get older by spending my whole day with you?"

Su Junhan narrowed his eyes at her. Gritting his teeth, he emphasized each word. "I am not old."

"Every elderly person thinks exactly like that," Xia Ming retorted.

"Xia Ming, you will not speak to me in such an unladylike and disrespectful manner. Do you understand?" he roared.

"Whatever, Uncle Su…" Xia Ming rolled her eyes, not at all afraid of him. Giving him a firm look, she stated, "I am not going to spend my whole day with you tomorrow."

"You will. As your leader, this is my order." Su Junhan smirked. Only by exerting his authority, he knew, he can restrain a rebellious person like Xia Ming. She won't listen to her Uncle, but she has to listen to her leader.

"Leader my ass," she muttered under her breath. She really hated her Uncle, and every day she wished that he could somehow die.

"Did you say something?"

"Fine, Leader," she said unwillingly. But in her heart, she was already thinking about another plan. If she can't go to help Xiaoruo, so what? She will send somebody else in her place to help and watch over Xiaoruo.

Su Xian stood quietly beside Xia Ming. He too, like Xia Ming, was planning on dispatching his men to help his baby sister in her mission.

"Good. And, nobody is going to help Yanruo in this mission. She has to do this alone. If I find that somebody has tried to help her, then Yanruo will be punished. " he said sternly, looking at both Xia Ming and Su Xian.

BUSTED!

Xia Ming thought. How did he know that she was thinking about it? She glared at her Uncle without any fear. "Why are you doing this? Have you not played with her life enough? Will you be satisfied only after killing her? Uncle Su, sometimes, I wonder if she is your daughter? I feel like you have picked her from an enemy clan to torture her, make her life hell, and then to kill her. If Fathers are like you, then I feel like I am lucky to have no father at all."

"XIA MING!" Su Junhan raised his voice.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Xia Ming argued. "Even an enemy will regard your daughter better than you do," she said.

"I am doing this for her good."

Xia Ming laughed. "Brother Xian, did you hear that? This is the funniest joke I have ever heard. Uncle Su, when did you get so good at cracking jokes? I think you should leave your position as a leader and start your business as a comedian." she said sarcastically.

The whole hall was quiet for a minute. All the guards and the servants were shocked at Xia Ming's words. Apart from Miss Xia Ming, nobody has dared to talk like this with Su Junhan. They shivered glancing at the sinister face of their Master. Even Su Xian was shocked. He had seen many arguments between Xia Ming and his Father but today it went on another level. Carefully looking at his father's face, he knew that if he didn't stop this battle soon then something bad will happen.

"Xia Ming, calm down. Stop…"

"Why should I stop, Brother Xian? Am I saying something wrong? Did you not hear what he said?" Xia Ming asked. "He said that he is doing all of this for Xiaoruo's good. What good is he doing for Xiaoruo? I can't see anything good. Can you?"

"Xia Ming, please stop…"

"Brother Xian, in this house, if I don't speak up for her, then who will? Her mother is dead. Her father is her hellbent enemy on destroying her life and you won't go against Uncle's word because of his favor to you." she explained. Looking back at the furious face of her Uncle, she snorted. "I have not seen such a selfish person like you, Uncle Su."

"ENOUGH!" Su Junhan yelled. His furious voice boomed throughout the hall, causing everybody to cower back in fright except for Xia Ming. His face looked so frightening as if he was going to kill somebody at any moment.

In fact, he wanted to. Since, the moment Xia Ming had started to disrespect him. His hands itched to kill her. Nobody had ever dared to raise their voice against him, not even his daughter. But he can't kill Xia Ming. He was bound only because of one promise he made to his sister when she was dying and that was to protect her child and never let her be harmed.
