Chapter 368 - We have a problem (1/2)
”ANSWER ME!” Long Xun roared.
”No Boss. ” Everybody answered unison.
”Oh! Then why did I find all guards who were supposed to watch over the night, sleeping yesterday?” he asked but nobody answered.
”If you guys like sleeping and being lazy so much, then tell me. I will help you sleep peacefully for the rest of your life and trust me nobody will come to disturb you, in your grave.” he roared.
”Sorry Boss. It won't happen again.” Everybody apologized.
”I am leaving for another two or three days and when I return, if I find somebody lazy on their work then you all know what I'll do, don't you?” he asked giving them a devilish smile.
Everybody gulped in fear and nodded their head like a chicken.
”Good.” Long Xun smiled. ”Go and take the c level punishment,” he ordered. Everybody shivered in fear for the c level punishment for it was a very tough and harsh punishment in their regime but they still complied with it knowing that it was their fault.
As everybody started walking away to get their punishment, Long Xun suddenly said, ”Stop Layla.”
Layla went still and then she turned around to look at Long Xun. ”Yes boss?” she asked carefully.
”What did the doctor say about Su Yan's condition?” he asked.
Hearing this question, Layla sighed in relief thinking that Long Xun asked her to stop because of this not because of something else. ”The doctors said the Su Yan has no problem in her body but because of all the tortures she might have gone through, her brain has regressed to that of a child's,” she answered.
”Hmm....” Long Xun nodded. Internally, he was happy that the worst thing he thought about her that she might have been assaulted by Xavier's and his men turned out to be wrong. Thankfully, they didn't do anything to her.
”Should I leave Boss?” Layla asked carefully when she saw that Long Xun didn't say anything for a long time.
”Where is Su Yan?” he asked.
”In her room, ” Layla replied.
”Are you sure?”
”Y-yes Boss. She is her in the room.” Layla answered confidently.
”And what about yesterday night? Where was she then?” Long Xun asked.
Layla paused. She looked at Long Xun's smiling face clearly and she didn't know how to answer it. Where would Su Yanyan go yesterday night? Nowhere. Layla remembered that after dinner how she has read a bed-time story to Su Yanyan and she had watched her falling asleep.
”Sleeping...” Layla answered in a small voice after carefully remembering all the things.
”Really?” Long Xun raised his brows. ”If she was sleeping then how come I saw her planting trees in the middle of the night?” he asked.
What?
Layla was shocked and confused and she didn't know what to say. How can she not wake up when Su Yan left the room? ”I am sorry Boss.” she quickly apologized knowing her faults. She should have stayed alert even in her sleep because that's how she was trained to be.
Long Xun sighed. ”Be careful, Layla. You never know when the enemy is coming for you.”
