Chapter 100 Demon From Hell
Mu Yuehan made a call to Li Tao. His voice was strong and full of authority like usual. "Li Tao, pick me up in thirty minutes."
After ordering a shocked Li Tao, he made his way toward his room to get changed. On his way, he stopped in front of a room, adjacent to his.
He opened the door and entered in. Warmth filled in his heart when he looked around at the room filled with the belongings of Zhou Liying, his TianTian.
Whatever was in her apartment was now brought into this room. Her paintings were hung around on the wall, with his painting, which she had painted, was hanging over the bed.
The bed sheet spread on the bed was the one on which they had slept together for the first time. Many a time, when Mu Yuehan missed her badly, he slept on the bed, imagining that she was there. He hugged her teddy tight, the teddy which he had won for her in the amusement park.
His gifts for her, including the flower bouquet given by him to her, were also tenderly placed in this room. Her clothes, her recipe books, everything was affectionately placed inside the closet.
Mu Yuehan took a long whiff of the room and it calmed down his nerve like it always did. He then made his way toward his room to get changed.

"Good evening, boss."
Li Tao gulped in fear when he saw Mu Yuehan stepping down the stairs of his apartment building. He was looking like a demon in all black.
His shoes were stark black and he was wearing all black suit. His hairs were handsomely pressed back. Don't ask about his eyes, they were dark as ink. Many dangerous emotions were swirling behind them which could make anyone pee in fear.
"Have you done what I have asked you to do?" His voice was calm and composed but Li Tao knew better, it was calmness before the calamity.
"Yes, boss. Team of Lake city project is waiting, as well as Wang Wei and his team."
Mu Yuehan did not say anything else. He looked out at the city with burning desire. He wanted to burn this city in his anger. He wanted to burn that person who dared to kidnap his TianTian. He wanted to torture the person responsible for her forgetting about him.
He clutched his hand tight, trying to control his demon. He knew his demon would not be of any use if he wished to have Zhou Liying back in his life and that too, as soon as possible.

The conference room of Mu Empire was filled with hundreds of employees but it felt like no one was inside because of the pin-drop silence. It was so silent that anyone could wrongly assume that the people inside were dumb.
The atmosphere inside of the room was extremely cold. People sitting on their chairs were shivering when looking at the king of hell sitting on his throne.
A team of fifty-one was standing on the platform of the conference hall, looking at Mu Yuehan with terror. They were holding onto each other, for support because their knees had already given up.
They were suddenly given the notice to present the presentation of the lake city project and in the middle of the presentation, Mu Yuehan rudely asked them to stop.
"Is this how you do your work? Is this the presentation which you want to present? Zhou Liying will reject it without a blink." His loud voice boomed around the hall, making the heart of poor employees tremble in fear.
No one dared to say a word. They knew it was calling for death by talking to him.
Many employees could see red horns on the head of Mu Yuehan and fire blazing out from his nose. Many employees had their heads down, afraid that they'd get cursed if they saw the face of the demon.
"I want a new and fresh presentation by tomorrow evening. If not, then resignation of the whole team." His voice was like a knife to the hearts of employees working in the lake city team.
The head of the Lake City team, Fang Lin wanted to say something but her partner pulled her back. She huffed and stood like others, with her head bowed.
"I want no mistake tomorrow." And with that, he left the conference hall.
No one dared to move or speak even when he left. They could still feel his dark aura in the room.
It was only after five minutes that employees took out deep breaths in relief. They started to make their way out of the conference hall.

"Don't know, why was he in such a bad mood today." One of the team members commented. "He has already sanctioned this presentation so why did he reject it like this, today?"
Fang Lin, the head clenched her hands tight and ground her teeth. This lake city project was becoming a bone in her throat.
She had so many expectations with this project. She had expected this project to be a stepping stone in her career. But who knew she'd lose the tender to a still establishing corporation in the country, Zhou corporations?
Zhou corporations may be famous in European countries but its roots were still very weak in the Shanghai market. And that was why everyone was shocked when Zhou corporations took the tender with ease. Everyone: government, other corporations, investors, public were looking at it with high expectations.
Fang Lin knew it well that Mu corporations got the partnership only because of their name and trustworthiness. The government had many projects with Mu corporations and it didn't wish to insult the Mu corporations by not giving a part of the Lake City project to them.
"B!tch." Fang Lin cursed under her breath with hate.
She had developed a hate for Zhou Liying. She failed to gulp that another lady had given her such an easy defeat. She wanted to meet Zhou Liying and defeat her, to put her down.
"Head, we should go back to our office. We don't have much time."
