Empress Of The Lost Kingdom Chapter 24
Advertisement
It was already four in the morning When Tang Wei Sheng reached Jing city. The moment flight landed Tang Wei Sheng took out his mobile and searched for Li Juan's number.
"Oh shit!" Tang Wei Sheng cursed himself.
There wasn't Li Juan's contact number or any SNS means to contact her.
"Oh no, what kind of boyfriend am I?" Tang Wei Sheng has forgotten to ask her number. All the time when he called her, it was either through Tang Wei Lan's phone or Yang Xiong.
When he was in Xi city, he always called her in the landline number in the villa. Tang Wei Sheng saw Yang Xiong was waiting for him in the entrance.
"Assistant Yang, do you have Li Juan's contact number?" Tang Wei Sheng asked assistant Yang as soon as he got into the car.
"Yes, Boss." Yang Xiong replied with a straight face.
"Can you give her a call?" Tang Wei Sheng was quite heartbroken. It was a special night for him and Li Juan. Tang Wei Sheng proposed to her and wanted to move in together.
They were about to make love when Chairman Tang asked him to come back to Jing city.
It was something important that he could not avoid that's why Tang Wei Sheng flew back to Jing city leaving Li Juan alone in Xi city.
Even though Li Juan didn't show any signs of disinterest, Tang Wei Sheng was sure that Li Juan felt bad, after he was the one who asked her to visit Xi city.
"Boss, are you sure that you wanted to call right now?" Yang Xiong hesitated for a moment. "It is four am in the morning."
"Hmmm, you are right." Tang Wei Sheng agreed with him.
"Li Juan must be sleeping now. Anyway, send me her contact."
Tang Wei Sheng ordered Yang Xiong.
"By the way, do you have any idea about Grandpa's sudden order to return from Xi city"? Tang Wei Sheng was curious. There are two more days left for Lunar new year.
"I don't know Young master. Chairman Tang has been keeping it confidential. One thing I am sure about is that someone is coming to visit you."
"Who?"
"I have no idea." Assistant Yang replied sincerely.
"Hmm, interesting! How is it working with President Tang?" Tang Wei Sheng asked about his father Tang Yi.
"It is good." Yang Xiong said with a straight face.
"Is it better than working with me?" Tang Wei Sheng joked.
"Not better than working with you, boss. How was your trip to the monastery?" Yang Xiong immediately changed the topic.
"It was good. So good, that I'm never going to forget that trip." Tang Wei Sheng's eyes sparkled while speaking about the trip to Tu valley.
"Did Miss Li find the information she was looking for"? Yang Xiong enquired.
"Yeah. She even got a route map." Tang Wei Sheng felt proud.

"I thought Miss Li will return to Jing city with you, is she will be alright alone?" Yang Xiong was worried about Li Juan staying alone in the Xi city.
"I am damn sure that she will be fine there." Tang Wei Sheng replied. "She is a complete workaholic assistant Yang. I wonder why she is still stuck here as a research scholar."
"Ah, Assistant Yang, there is something I wanted to check?" Tang Wei Sheng remembered something.
"Yes, boss." Yang Xiong looked at Tang Wei Sheng with anticipation.
"seven years ago, Li Juan was in an accident. It was a hit and run case and the man who drove the car dead at the spot. Can you enquire about that accident?"
"Yes, boss."
"There is something else too, while Li Juan was studying in S city, she fell from the school building and got injured very badly.
Please check that too."
"Why do you want to check it, Young Master?" Yang Xiong was curious. Why is CEO Tang suddenly searching the details of Li Juan? Is there anything happened in between them when he left Xi city?
"Bro Yang, She was my first love."
"Is she the girl whom I saw with you on that day? The girl whom you were trying to save." Yang Xiong was perplexed.
The day Yang Xiong met Tang Wei Sheng for the first time, he was fighting with some hooligans while trying to save a girl.
"So that girl was Li Juan?" No wonder she looked so familiar.
"When I went abroad, she was supposed to meet me at the airport, but on the way, she met with an accident. When she tried to apply for an exchange program abroad, something terrible happened to her. And she was Bedridden and lost her memories for a while." Tang Wei Sheng shared the information he knew about Li Juan.
"But the most unusual thing I felt was, all these years I have been searching for her and I was unable to find any details about her."
"Do you think there is something wrong?" Yang Xiong asked Tang Wei Sheng.
"Yes. It feels like someone is purposefully making her life miserable."
"I will look into it, boss. You don't have to worry," Yang Xiong assured his boss.
Yang Xiong knew that Tang Wei Sheng was searching for someone in S city, if that person was Li Juan, with her reputation at university, it won't be a difficult task to find her whereabouts. But Tang Wei Sheng failed to find her- that means someone purposefully hidden her from Tang Wei Sheng.
"Where do you want to go?' Yang Xiong asked Tang Wei Sheng who appeared anxious.
"Let's go to the mansion."
"Yes, boss," Yang Xiong drove the car to the Tang mansion.
When Tang Wei Sheng reached the mansion only the house workers were awake. He went to his room without waking up any of his family members and slept for five hours.

Even though he was tired from sleep-deprived Tang Wei Sheng set an alarm and woke up to call Li Juan.
"How are you, sweetheart? Tang Wei Sheng asked Li Juan."
"I am good, how was your flight? Everything is okay there?"
"Hmm, everything is fine here; I am only worried about you."
"When are you coming back?" He asked her.
"Today evening," Li Juan said.
"Okay, I will come to the airport to receive you."
"Wei Sheng Ge," Li Juan hesitated for a moment. "I am planning to go to Aunt Mei Rong's home town."
"Oh," there was a visible disappointment in Tang Wei Sheng's voice.
"Is it because of what happened yesterday night?" Tang Wei Sheng was worried because he felt guilty that he went overboard with their relationship
"No," Li Juan felt a little bit awkward, "I am sorry Wei Sheng Ge"
"It's okay sweetheart, I don't have a problem if you think you need some more time."
"Hmm," Li Juan replied in a low voice. "I wanted to visit Aunt Mei's family."
"Hmm," Tang Wei Sheng hummed.
"I want to tell them that I have a boyfriend now."
"Hmm."
"And I want to ask their permission to move in with certain someone."
"Certain someone?" Tang Wei Sheng's mood improved.
"Hmm, my first love." Li Juan heard Tang Wei Sheng's chuckle on the other side. She thought about it a few times and decided to move in with Tang Wei Sheng.
"It is only a matter of a week. I will be back on Jing city by next Monday."
"Hmm, by next Monday get ready to move to certain someone's... no, our home." Tang Wei Sheng demanded.
"Our home!" Li Juan was perplexed to hear that word. Li Juan never cared about any material things, all she ever wanted to have someone, to have a family of her own- and Tang Wei Sheng appeared as a miracle in her life.
"Hmm, I will look forward to that." Li Juan assured him.
"Wei Sheng Ge, I am not sure whether we have a network in the village, but I will try to call you." Li Juan informed him before Handley. The village she was going to was situated on a remote island and telephone communication was not developed like the urban cities.
"Hmm, I will wait for you." Tang Wei Sheng said with a smile.
"I will wait for you too."
He ended the call with a smile and tried to lie down for a while.
The meeting was arranged at noon in a Restuarant so that the two parties would have a meal together. He has enough leisure time.
The whole Tang Family was having breakfast when Tang Wei Sheng came out from his room. Wang Fang was surprised to see her son who was supposed to be in Xi city now.
"Good Morning." Tang Wei Sheng greeted everyone.
"Wei Sheng, when did you arrive? You could've called me." Wang Fang complained.
"I arrived earlier in the morning Mom. I was tired, that's why I didn't wake you. Where is grandpa?" Tang Wei Sheng enquired about Tang Fei, he was nowhere to be found.
"He went earlier," Tang Yi told casually to his son.
"He asked you to join him for lunch". Tang Wei Sheng and Tang Yi weren't closer with each other. They rarely had conversations.
"Yes. I will go." Tang Wei Sheng replied.
After having the breakfast Tang Wei Sheng went to his office and had a brief meeting with his executives' and discussed the company matters.
After giving the necessary orders for the executives, Tang Wei Sheng headed to the restaurant where the meeting was arranged.
Chairman Tang's assistant Ahn Lu Shan was waiting for Tang Wei Sheng in the entrance.
Assistant Ahn Lu Shan was a man in his mid-fifties; he was working for Tang Corporation for more than 25years.
"Good Afternoon, Young master."
"Good afternoon uncle Ahn. Do you have any idea whom we are going to meet?" Tang Wei Sheng enquired.
He was sure that there won't be a single incident in his grandpa's life which is unattended by assistant Ahn.
"It is a lady." Assistant Ahn Lu Shan smiled and told him.
"What is he trying to do? Is this matchmaking?" Tang Wei Sheng was curious. He hasn't told about Li Juan to his Grandpa.
"I am not sure, young master." They entered into a private room.
It was designed and decorated in traditional style. Chairman Tang was sitting there waiting for Tang Wei Sheng.
"Good afternoon grandpa." Tang Wei Sheng greeted him with a smile.
"Good afternoon, How was your Journey? I hope it wasn't tiring?" Tang Fei asked his grandson.
"Not at all Grandpa. Who do you want me to meet?" Tang Wei Sheng was getting curious.
"They are on the way. Let's wait."
"Grandpa, there is something," Tang Wei Sheng was about to confess about his relationship with Li Juan when he was suddenly interrupted by a knock at the door.
"May I come in?" A melodious female voice asked.
" Please come in," Tang Fei replied and the door was opened.
Tang Wei Sheng looked at the guest with curious eyes.
A beautiful woman adorned in white qipao dress entered into the room with elegant steps.
With a perfectly proportioned body and cute facial features, She appeared as an Angel descended from the heavens.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.

Directorate: Nationbuilding in Apocalypse
A nation is just a means of survival. Metro Manila fell within 5 months of the first report of cannibalism. Once a hyperurbanized region of 15 million inhabitants, it's been reduced to a dead, greenless shell. Most of the infected had since left to ravage the countryside. The central government was nowhere to be found. Among the survivors who clung to the few gardens and humble plots of arable land left, one of them finds evidence that the slaughter wasn't going to just end with the first wave. Without a nation and a wall of guns, everyone will die. Directorate is an original nationbuilding webnovel that focuses on the gradual rise to power of a select few individuals, and the subsequent unification of the survivors of a devastated Metro Manila. Releases targeted at every 1 to 3 weeks. If there are no chapter updates after 3 weeks, there will be a progress update. Number of releases targeted at a maximum of 100 chapters. Every 10-15 chapters, there will be a 1-month hiatus to let me plan for the next 10-15 chapters. Double releases have a not-insignificant-but-still-small chance of occurring.
