Lady Meilin is seduced by her green tea brother-in-law everyday-Chapter 283: Nightmares.

Mei Mei could hardly bring herself to imagine how those poor teenagers had lived. From the story Jingzhe was telling her, it seemed like they targeted young geniuses from single parents homes without influence, orphans and those from poor backgrounds.

They took people whose absence would not cause too much chaos. But, it was hard for her to imagine Madam Feng staying quiet while Jingzhe was gone. The Mo’s would not have bothered to look for him but her, she would have moved heaven and earth to find him and bring him home.

"How did you escape?" she asked him.

"We created explosives and killed our way out." He answered after sighing. "We got on the ship that used to deliver prisoners. To our relief, the royal family seemed to have got wind of what was going on on the island. Royal agents were the ones that had come on the ship. They took us away and arrested the adults on the island that were still alive. As for the research subjects, I think they were all killed."

Mei Mei continued to pass her hands through his hair. "How long did you live on the island?"

"Two years." He nearly bit his tongue. "Two freaking terrible years. The royal family did not allow us to return to our families immediately. They put us in a rehabilitation center in another empire for a full year.

We were allowed to further our studies as we wished so most of us took online courses. Of course, being that we are geniuses we graduated within a year and for some within months.

We were not always locked behind high walls. They allowed us to leave and explore the outside world. Under supervision of course." He could not forget the eyes of secret royal agents following him around all the time.

"Which empire did they hide you in?" She asked.

"The British empire." He answered with flourish. "For me, I used those outside trips to meet with my business partners and my mother. During my time away, it turned out that she had used the business plans I left behind to continue building our own little small empire. She knew that she needed a lot of money to find me because the money could buy influence so she did not rest until I was found."

Mei Mei wanted to applaud Madam Feng. She had done a great job. One that not many people in the world would have been capable of. But, it sounded like Jingzhe and Madam Feng had more than one business. What else did they do outside cheesecake?

"When I finally returned home, I just went straight into business and furthered my education online." He laughed lightly. "Actually I am still a student."

Mei Mei was surprised. Wait till her friends heard about this. The teasing they would do would last a million years.

He looked at her and chuckled. "Sister, will you pay for my tuition in exchange for my services."

She traced a finger over his ear. "It depends on how well you serve me. Don’t worry, your rich sister will is very generous."

"Wonderful!" Jun Yi’s voice came from the newly opened doorway. "Now that I know I have a rich generous sister, I will be sure to rely on her the most." She sat down next to the piano and looked at Jingzhe. "Don’t worry brother-in-law, my sister is not your kind of sister." She wrapped her arms around her shoulders and shuddered.

Her sister--real sister looked like of those women in clubs that kept young male models. If Jingzhe did not have money, they would fit the bill perfectly.

"I will give you five million if you give us privacy right now." Jingzhe told her.

Jun Yi stood up immediately and bowed. "Brother-in-law, may your reign last forever." She ran out of the music room and closed the door.

"You have got to stop giving that girl money." Mei Mei mumbled.

"Her pet resort is a black hole." Jingzhe said and added, "and she calls me brother-in-law so how I can not be generous with her. Besides, we need privacy to finish our conversation. I don’t know if you still have any questions for me?"

Anybody that heard about the island was bound to have very many questions. When they were rescued, they had all been questioned by dozens of royal agents and experts for a full year. They wanted to know everything from how each child reached the island. What ideas they shared when they were there.

They had to describe the experiments they participated in, the people they met, the food they ate and what they drunk.

Even what they heard, touched, smelled. All of it had been revealed until someone was satisfied. When all was said and done, they were released but not before being told that they could not keep in contact with anyone else that had been on the island or talk about it with anyone.

For, two years, Jingzhe knew that he had been watched by an agent and he had a feeling that it was the same for the others.

He was only revealing this information to Mei Mei because he had received permission from the Empress Mother to do so if she ever asked.

"Do you ever have nightmares about that place?" he asked her.

Jingzhe leaned away from her and sat up straight. Was this what she truly wanted to know? Didn’t she want to know about what papers he had written or how many people died as a result of simulations he created? Didn’t she want to know how many he had killed before escaping?

"If I was forced to live through such an experience, I think it would haunt me for sometime." She said softly. Sometimes, she still dreamed about the moment she almost died in the hands of Mo Liang and Tang Yue after Mo Hao’s actions.

On occasion, she also saw the bear cub which had been killed by her kidnappers.

"I used to have a hard time sleeping." He told her. He still did on most nights, except for when he shared a bed with her.

In the beginning, like others, he could hardly get two hours of sleep a night. All of that time, he put into his work. That was how he was able to become wealthy so quickly.

His mother had introduced him to Juan’s Valerian root tea, lavender tea, chamomile tea and every kind of incense that was recommended to help one sleep better. It helped him sleep better. When combined with his therapy sessions, he slowly recovered.

"And now?" She asked him.

He reached out and pinched her chin. "Now I have you. How can I have nightmares when you have taken up all the room in my brain? Every dream I have is filled with you. I don’t have nightmares Mei Mei, I have you."
