717 Changed appearance

Song Dong Ming was a man who has been always been clear about things, what he wanted he will do and if there was something that he did not want to do then there was no way anyone could make him do it. The Song Corporation was a company that he started with his wife, it was similar to the two of them raising a child together. He worked hard for that company making sure that it will be one of the top companies, but now without him and his wife, that company was no longer their child.

It was an empty shell with nothing but corruption, he knew that his elder brother was not capable and what was even more important was that the man was suspicious and non trusting of anyone. Surely, he would have changed the staff whom he trusted and gave them important positions, either they might have lost their jobs or they might quit their own position since they saw the changes in the company.

There was no point in pouring all his energy into the company that was long dead and was only relying on his and his wife's past effort.

" Yan Yan, if you don't mind can you give your company to me?" Song Dong Ming asked as he looked at his daughter who was sitting down on the stool. He did not want to end his elder brother so quickly, or at least not without instilling the same fear that he had in his heart when he was locked up by Chu Lian.

" Dad, what do you have in mind?" Song Yan asked as she tilted her head and then looked at her father who was looking down at her with a smile. He shrugged and then said with a sly glint in his eyes, " Oh it's nothing, I am just going to play a small game with my big brother. The Song Corporation is going to hold its anniversary in three weeks, right?"

"That's right," nodded Song Yan as she continued to look at her father who was smirking lightly.

" This much time is enough," Song Dong Ming curled his lips into a smile before he turned to look at Song Yan and asked, " Is there something in your celestial inventory that will change my appearance? Or maybe I can ask a make artist to change my look."

Song Yan frowned but she still took a talisman out of her ring and handed it to her father before saying, " This is a look-changing talisman, though it only picks random attributes and does not last for long, why do you need this father?"

" Oh for just this and that, make sure you keep a stock of these, Yan Yan," Song Dong Ming wore the talisman around his neck and then to Song Yan's surprise, she found that her father looked completely different!

…..

Somewhere in the city, the Eldest master Song returned to his home after spending a hectic day in the Song corporation, he rubbed his neck and headed straight to his bathing room. The weather was getting more and more humid in the city and he did not like it in the least—— he took a quick shower and returned to his bedroom only to find his wife fast asleep, Eldest Master Song snorted as he looked at Chu Lian's sleeping face before he walked to his side of his bed and placed his phone down.

As soon as he placed the smartphone on the bedside cabinet, the screen of his phone lit up casting a blue glow around the space. Eldest Master Song was going to sleep but when he opened the message that was sent to him by a strange number, all his sleepiness vanished.

He hurriedly turned to look at Chu Lian and shook her awake.

" What's the matter?" Chu Lian snapped at him with a quick slap of her hand as she turned around to look at her husband who was shaking her awake. " What are you doing?"

" Lian'er, look at this!" Eldest Master Song showed his phone to his wife who rolled her eyes and then took the phone from his hands as she looked at the message that was displayed on the screen.

' Did you like living a life that did not belong to you, elder brother?'

Immediately all the sleepiness that Chu Lian had in her eyes flew out of her eyes and she sat up straight in the bed. As she looked at the message that was sent to them, she read it again and again before turning to look at her husband and asking, " What is going on? Who sent this message to you?"

" I don't know," answered the man which only pissed Chu Lian even more as she glared at the latter and then snapped, " Then you need to find out, you stupid man!"

She dialled the number that was displayed on the screen, only to receive the message that the dialled message does not exist. Immediately, her face turned serious as she jumped off the bed on which she was sitting and walked over to the rack where her robe was hanging. She draped the silk robe on her body and then turned to rush out of the room while her husband chased after her, " Where are you going?"

" I am going to check something," Chu Lian replied as she rushed down the stairs in nothing but her night dress, she wanted to see what was going on, was this a prank that was being played on her or did someone really find the truth about what she did!

A part of her said that there was no way anyone will be able to find out the truth but at the same time, a tiny part of her couldn't help but think of the what-ifs.

As Chu Lian left the home, a figure that was hiding in the dark sent a message to Song Yan.

' She is running out of the house. Looks like something terrible happened.'
