Chapter 17: A Mei-Mei alert.
It was a slow news day, all that was being talked about in the nation was the space exploration team, what they had found after five years and the impact of their discovery. While it was great, people could not help switching to other TV channels in search of anything that did not have the word space attached to it.
Phoenix news was the first to break the news of the explosion at space pilot Mo Liang's house. The news of the explosion had been reported by neighbors to the police. The police had alerted the royal agents and they had informed the office of the royal secretary and under two minutes, it reached the emperor's ears.
As soon as Emperor Long Junjie was informed, he had just one question for his secretary.
"Where is Mei-Mei?"
The secretary checked her phone for the latest update from a team of two agents whose task was to spy on Mei-Mei.
"She is moving into her house, the one on number three, old ring road."
"Where was she when the explosion happened?" he asked after taking a long deep breath to calm himself.
"In a flying car, moving away from her old house that just exploded. All of her personal belongings and those of her daughter were moved.....so..." She drawled on longer than intended, waiting for Junjie to fill in the rest.
But the emperor could not fill in the rest, he was feeling a hole burning into his stomach, a Mei-Mei shaped explosive hole. He did not need to send a team to investigate the explosion, he knew who had done it and he had a gut feeling that this would not be the last explosion to rock the capital in the days, months or years to come. It would depend on how long it took Mei-Mei to accomplish her goals.
