CEO Above, Me Below

Chapter 8

To make her wish she were dead .

He was NE Conglomerate’s CEO . She was just a commoner . He could definitely make her life hell… . .

And she wouldn’t even be able to fight back .

Shi Xiaonian closed her eyes in pain . Her hands gripped the windbreaker tightly wishing she could claw it to pieces . However, she wasn’t able to at all .

Imperial castle . This grand building costing hundreds of millions to construct deep in the forest wasn’t some tourist attraction but rather a personal residence .

Gong Ou’s personal residence .

This place didn’t allow outsiders .

Shi Xiaonian was taken to the castle . Normally, she would have been inspired and would thoroughly appreciate this very mysterious castle, but, at this point, she was only left with numbness .

Along the way, she tried seeking help from the bodyguards, escaping, and stealing a cellphone to call the police but the bodyguards foiled her at every turn .

She was just a weak woman . How would she be able to overcome strong bodyguards in a fight?

In the end, a bodyguard told her, “Miss, who asked you to incur Mr . Gong’s wrath? You should know what kind of person Mr . Gong is . He can hold the power of life and death over you . Why do you keep up with this pointless resistance?”

With his words, all her illusions were destroyed .

What else could she feel but numbness when she ran into a man who violated her without being able to retaliate or even escape?

Shi Xiaonian was brought into the castle then taken up the elevator and into a luxurious room set up like a 14th century room in an European castle .

An old man in his 60s stood in the room . He looked spirited yet kindly; he kept both hands behind his back and was dressed like a butler .

“Miss Shi . How are you? I am Mr . Gong’s butler, Feng De . ” The old man smiled as he briefly introduced himself . Then, he held out a hand, “Please sit . ”

Only then did Shi Xiaonian notice that the old man was standing by a high tech recliner as well as a flat-screen monitor .

She was vaguely aware of what this was .

“This is a polygraph chair . Please sit . ”

Feng De spoke in a gentle manner and was very kind-looking, unlike Gong Ou’s arrogant and egotistical, unreasonable quarrelsomeness .

“What do you want?”

Shi Xiaonian asked, pale-faced .

What did they want with bringing out a polygraph chair?

How in the world did she incur Gong Ou’s wrath, and why did he treat her this way?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Young master wanted to know why Miss Shi wouldn’t admit to having a child three years ago so he wanted me to run a lie detector test,” Feng De patiently explained .

Again with the three years ago . Again with the child… . .

She had never met Gong Ou in real life before other than seeing him on the news and in newspapers . Where could some child have come from?

“You are mistaken . ”

Shi Xiaonian, completely disheartened, spoke in a low voice .

The bodyguards mercilessly threw Shi Xiaonian onto the polygraph chair and locked the multitude of connections to her fingers, arms, and body . She was bound so tightly she couldn’t even move… . .

Shi Xiaonian had used up all of her energy for struggling when fighting Gong Ou in the sauna .

She didn’t have any fight left in her .

She half-reclined on the polygraph chair like a fish gasping on a cutting board .

“Then, Miss Shi, I’ll start to question you . ”

Feng De gave her a kindly smile then took out file from behind him and opened it up .

“When you’re done questioning me, may I leave?” Right now she only wanted to leave this place .

Feng De smiled but didn’t reply . He only looked at the documents in his hand and started to gently question, “Name . ”

“Shi Xiaonian . ”

Feng De looked at the flat-screen monitor by his side, nodded, then continued to ask, “Miss Shi, what were you doing three years ago?”

“Three years ago I drew the manhua, His Desire to Monopolize . ” This manhua had made her popular for a short while so she distinctly remembered it .

“Did anything else important happen?” Feng De asked .
