Chapter 34 - The Mafia Kings Threat To His Acquaintance
Chapter 34 - The Mafia King's Threat To His Acquaintance
Unknown to the danger soon approaching Lihua, Wei was meticulously noting down his observations about Lihua and the new found emotion he felt for the first time today - Anger.
He pondered. He truly never thought that he was capable of getting that angry ever. He used to kill people by a single shot, not by bashing heads and pulling off tongues. Nothing ever fazed him, but when it came to Lihua, he always felt that he was slowly experiencing the things that were foreign to him.
He didn't dislike it. On the contrary, he felt more curious to discover more of these feelings.
Wei's phone buzzed with Chang Fang's message. Usually, the leaders of the individual gangs didn't have direct contact information of Wei. But he made it an exception this time.
'Boss! I found it! The men who attacked us to save Lang Min come under Mr. Yang's group.'
Wei blinked his eyes.
Yang was the family name of his acquaintance. The Yang's worked in the Mafia just like Wei's family for generations. They were deep rooted in the Underworld and influential concerning everything about the field of medicine. Secretly funding hospitals, illegal smuggling of organs, medical drugs, doing secretive operations and surgeries and even human experimentation for research purposes came under the Yang's.
Just like Wei was a CEO on the outside but had the true identity of a Mafia King, his acquaintance was a famous doctor based in a hospital built by the Yang family. But that was a cover to do his Mafia activities.
However, the Jiang's always held the title of the supreme Mafia family. That's why, the heir of the Jiang family always became the Mafia King who ruled everything in the Underworld.
The Jiang's and Yang's had a sort of neutral relationship and they didn't interfere in each other's work while also assisting with benefits if ever needed. But this time, they interfered that almost cost Lihua's life if he hadn't pushed her away.
Wei oozed out a dark aura that made the atmosphere gloomy.
He dialed his number.
That certain someone didn't pick up. Wei tried another time. Instead he got a response.
'Fuck off!'
Wei's gaze turned cold. Normally, it wouldn't have affected him, but this time it concerned Lihua. He thought for a moment and dropped a message, not to him though.
Exactly two minutes later, his acquaintance called him himself.
"You bastard Wei! What the fuck did you tell Mom that she is hammering me to go on a blind date!? You know I hate this farce. If you dare interfere in my personal life, then trust me, you will make the Yang's your enemy! That will be ugly. I don't give a dime if you are the Mafia King!"
Wei was absolutely calm and unfazed the whole time.
"Tell your gang first not to interfere in my work."
"What the hell are you spouting?"
Wei concisely explained the chain of events.
"They knew that Shadow Eagle was under the Jiang family."
Wei's eyes glinted in threat and danger. As he tapped his finger on the armrest, he said, "If anything had happened to Lihua, you would have made the Jiang's your enemy. That will be ugly a hundred folds. I don't give a dime if our families have known each other for generations."
Silence on the other end.
"I will deal with this."
"I already killed them."
He gritted his teeth. "So why are you bothering me?"
"To make sure this doesn't happen again. This is my order as the King. Nobody, not from any gang in the Underworld would ever touch or harm Lihua."
There was a long pause.
"You have changed. You never threatened anybody 'for' anybody."
Wei didn't respond.
"But do you think your happy days are gonna last long with how you killed Song Jia?"
His eyelashes slightly trembled.
"I didn't know she was her sister."
"And is that your excuse?"
"Is it not convincing enough?"
He suddenly burst into laughter. "Well good luck with that."
He hung up.
Wei's lips stretched into a thin line.
Even talking disrespectfully about Song Jia had made Lihua so angry. What would she do if she knew the truth?
I…
He softly touched his chest, feeling restless. A strange uneasiness gripped his heart.
I will never let her find the truth.

The next day in college, the situation about Lu Jie worsened even more. There was no news about her at all and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lu only blamed the college for her disappearance.
As Lihua reached the gate, she pursed her lips on seeing the situation unfold. The principal was doing his best to calm down the situation but the parents were stubborn to confront this in front of everyone.
"Sir, Mam. I understand your concern. But I have already clarified that Lu Jie had already left college that day. No accident happened here. We cannot answer what happened to her after she left."
Mrs. Lu glared at him with tearful eyes. "How could you not answer! You are the principal!"
"Mam, what students do after they leave the campus is not under our control and neither do we have any knowledge of it. How can you blame the management?"
Mr. Lu furiously said, "It's because something happened to her in this college! We are sure of that! We didn't know this yesterday but now we came to know that there might be a student who could hold a grudge against my daughter. She did something to her!"
Mrs. Lu burst into tears.
The principal was confused. "I don't understand. How could one of the fellow students do anything to Lu Jie?"
Mrs. Lu wiped her tears. "It must be that girl! My Jie just harmlessly teased her, but she went this far to take her revenge. Where is she? Where is Song Lihua!?"
Lihua widened her eyes in shock. She froze on the spot.
W-what? Me!?
