Chapter 39: Oh, I am gonna kill him.
In the darkness, they could not make out each other’s faces, just vague shapes. Despite this, Mei Mei could tell that the woman was going to scream. Reacting quickly, she grabbed the cleaning lady and put a hand over her mouth.
From childhood, she had been taught how to fight so she knew how to put a full grown human to sleep with ease. In addition to that, one of the things she had taken from home when she left the Jun family was a smart watch.
It had been given to her by her mother on her fourteenth birthday. The watch could emit a vapor that could make someone unconscious. She pushed a tiny button and the vapor went up the cleaner’s nose.
The woman went limp in her arms, Mei Mei put her down on the ground gently and escaped according to her plan. When her feet touched the ground in a small dark alley, she sett off in a run and vanished into a confused crowd of shoppers that had come out of the shopping center that had lost power.
She walked for twenty minutes, stopped a self driving taxi and left the area. When she was safely back in the bedroom, she turned off the EMP.
Mei Mei’s heart started to calm down as she sat down on her bed. She still couldn’t believe that she had pulled off such a risky adventure. If she had not listened to her father narrating some of the things her mother had been up to over the years like climbing in and out of buildings to arrest spies and traitors to the empire over the years, she would have hesitated to sneak into that office.
Mei Mei’s hand hovered over her phone, she wanted to call her mother and tell her what she had done. Before she could swipe her mother’s number and make that call, she recalled the look in her mother’s eyes on the day she left home.
That look of disappointment and betrayal made Mei Mei hesitate. She would call when she had fixed the mistake which she had made.
Only then could she face her mother.
She wiped forming beads of tears from her eyes and started looking through the full divorce documents on the virtual screen of her system, the highlighted parts specifically.
Among the reasons for the divorce, one was marital misconduct and it specified that Mei Mei had refused to fulfill her responsibilities such as intimacy and emotional support.
"Son of a bitch!!" she exploded.
The thief was shouting thief.
"I am going to kill him, oh I am so going to kill him." she growled.
It was not just that, another reason was her maltreatment of his mother Mrs. Sun. He was claiming that she had emotionally and psychologically abused his mother. He also claimed that she verbally abused him whenever she was frustrated.
"I am going to bury him." She growled like an injured angry lion.
He also included addiction, apparently her sickness had made her addicted to painkillers and resulted in depression.
Mei Mei raised her head and laughed. The son of a bitch poisoned her, her body had become weak and prone to illness. All the medicine she had been taking had been legally prescribed by doctors.
Further reasons included lack of communication and growing apart. In the documents was a hand written letter in which Mo Liang talked about how they had become different people.
Feng Qi had been right, he included the hardships he had endured in space and how he had been lonely but Mei Mei had not made efforts to communicate sufficiently and when she called, she did nothing but complain which increased his stress.
For most of the false claims he had made, evidence had been provided or fabricated because they were all false. In the documents were messages between them which proved he begged for them to be intimate and she used work and Mingzhu as an excuse not to do her conjugal duties.
There were voice messages between Mrs. Sun and Mei Mei in which she was harshly responding to certain things her mother-in-law had done. Only the parts where Mei Mei’s voice had been raised where included.
There were call logs from the space stations, records which showed that he had called many times but she did not answer the phone or respond to his messages. Also, there were medical records, prescription refills.
The worst evidence which was to be used against her were pictures of her and her boss sharing meals together or smiling and looking extremely close. The pictures were suggestive and made their relationship out to be suspicious.
"Oh, I can’t decide between a grave in the ground or a burial at sea." Mei Mei groaned.
No wonder he had threatened her with Mingzhu’s custody, with all this proof that had been fabricated, which judge would grant her custody? She was basically made out to appear as an emotionless, abusive, cheating, drug addicted, spouse.
"We have coffins in the mall and all sorts of weapons and poisons." C4 chimed in.
When Mei Mei went to bed that night, she still could not decide where she wanted to bury Mo Liang. She had a dream however, and in that dram she kicked him off a cliff.
***
On the morning of the following day, Mingzhu’s video was still trending. It had gone from social media to the news and turned into an animated video. Some people had gone so far as to replace Bao Bao with the emperor. Mei Mei was sure that Junjie was furious, he was probably assuming that she put Mei Mei up to it for revenge.
Watching the video made Mei Mei shake her head and look at her daughter who was enjoying her breakfast nonchalantly.
"Mingzhu, congratulations you are now famous."
"What is famous?" Mingzhu asked between bites of a scallion pancake.
"It means many people around the world love you." Jingzhe said as he sat down in the chair next to Mei Mei. He smiled at her brightly like the shiniest light in the room. "Mei Mei, good morning."
His smile was so beautiful, like ten thousand suns burning brightly at the same time. Mei Mei’s hand found its way to the top of his head and she patted it. "Mmm, A Zhe, good morning. Was your night comfortable?"
He nodded. His night had been amazing but not for the reasons she thought.
As Mei Mei lowered her hand, she got a message on her phone with an update from the company which made her scoff and laugh at the same time. "Space M’s payloads were vandalized as soon as they left at the National Space Cargo Hold last night."
She laughed again after sharing this. The company had made a loss of four hundred million yuan.
"Its your company too, aren’t you sad?" Jingzhe asked her.
Mei Mei shook her head. "I hope it goes bankrupt."
She had only a measly number of shares left, her voice was not capable of making waves in the company now. If it sunk, she would applaud from the side. If it swam and survived, she would be the one to poke the holes and sink it.
