The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel's Disguise

Chapter 262 Missing People



"Want to die, Wu Dishi?"

Hearing that deep voice filled with anger, frustration and something else that always managed to scare the hell out of him, Wu Dishi’s spirit almost left his body. A look of astonishment had made his eyes open wide as he looked at Ru from the top of the head down to her bare feet. But as realization dawned on him, he visibly gulped as his face paled.

"Master? Is that really you?" He asked for confirmation. He needed it badly.

"This lord is only one in the whole world. Do you think a clone is sitting here?" Ru’s aggressive voice brought Wu Dishi to the verge of tears. If he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, he would have gotten on his knees to beg for offending her.

"I’m really sorry, Master. Please don’t take my ignorance to heart," Wu Dishi was pleading so that she could cut him some slack for once. However, Ru wasn’t in the mood to punish him at the moment anyway so she just waved him off. Wu Dishi felt like he was given another chance to live as he finally managed to smile and said, "Ahan! Master, you’re cross-dressing, right? To hide your identity? Wow, I must say Master is really a master of disguises." He even gave her two thumbs up.

While Ru pressed her lips together as she heard his words, Rong ended up bursting into loud laughter. Ru really was speechless. How was she supposed to break the news to her own subordinate that she had been deceiving him for years? More than the fact that Wu Dishi might feel betrayed, she was worried he might get a heart attack or something. So considering his health and other stuff, she just nodded her head and said, "Whatever!"

Wu Dishi didn’t pay attention to her offhanded reply as only now he focused on Rong and looked back at his master asking, "Who is he?"

"You don’t need to know," replied Ru calmly which told Wu Dishi that he wasn’t supposed to poke his nose into that matter.

Therefore, he nodded his head seriously and passed a tablet computer to Ru saying, "These are the details-" Ru stopped him from continuing by raised her hand.

She looked into his eyes and said, "Get me some clothes first. I can’t process in this attire anymore."

It didn’t take long before the helicopter landed on the helipad on the rooftop of Metrix Consortium’s building. Ru made her way to her office and found herself some clothes from the bedroom that was accessible through her office. Even though she barely came to the office, Wu Dishi was very meticulous about the details.

As she came out back in her short hair and black attire with her bright green eyes, she really surprised herself at how different she looked. But this attire gave her comfort, she couldn’t feel in the past couple of days. One thing was for certain, she wasn’t planning on acting like a girl ever again in her life. It almost made her lose half of her life. The effort and drama were too much for a straightforward person like her who would rather soak in blood with pride than wear makeup.

Seeing her looking suave and handsome, Rong gave an appreciative nod as he said, "Now that looks like my little brother. You’re definitely still handsome."

"I know," said Ru with an attitude that surprised Wu Dishi who was standing by the door like a doorman.

When Rong touched Ru’s head, Wu Dishi lost it. He really thought someone was gonna die but poor him got another shock when Ru didn’t react the way he expected instead she smiled at him with a sly look in her eyes as he said, "But still a little less than me."

Ru kicked him on the shin and walked over to Wu Dishi. She clicked her fingers before his eyes to get his attention and said, "Start talking from the top. What exactly did you mean when you said Team Blue is missing? And if it’s been a week, why didn’t you inform me sooner?"

Wu Dishi again passed her the tablet computer and started talking, "As per your instructions, Team Blue had been following Xiao Zhiyuan, his cousin Zhang Han and our very own Lilith. From Paris, they went to Amsterdam and from Amsterdam, they made a trip to Oktoberfest. Until there, the journey was rather smooth but from Oktoberfest, we received the message that something wasn’t right. When they were going to make a trip to Krakow, I asked Team K to join them there as a precaution but..." he took a pause to take a step back before adding, "But Team K never met with Team Blue. We lost all the contacts. It’s like all the members vanished into thin air."

Ru rubbed her chin as she asked, "What about the kids?"

Wu Dishi hesitantly took another step back and said, "We can’t find them either." Ru glared at him with blazing eyes and he added, "Master, I already sent people to look through Krakow. Our people are on a search out for the past seven days. Even though we didn’t manage to get much information, I can tell you that no news is good news."

Ru closed her eyes in exasperation as she said, "Are you trying to preach right now?" Her voice was calm to the point of being eerie for Wu Dishi. He was fidgeting under her intense gaze. The way her intimidating aura had exploded made him really want to hide somewhere.

"I wouldn’t dare, master," said Wu Dishi in a shaky voice.
