Chapter 101 - The Mafia King Finds The Truth Of Lihua's Investigation (2)

"About what?"

A gripping uneasy feeling gripped Wei's chest as his gaze met hers. It was tightening and coiling around his heart as if doom was near.

"H-her mission…"

Lihua blinked her eyes. "Oh about sis's mission. Yes! She is investigating the Mafia King."

Wei felt his head spin in dizziness.

Impossible…

"How do you know that she is investigating the Mafia King? You never said that before," his voice trembled.

"Oh! That's because I just got to know about it recently myself."

Wei froze.

"Recently?"

She nodded. "En. The night we decorated your house. Actually that morning, Yaya found a letter in front of my house. She said it was for me, though there wasn't any name written on it. But because it was placed at my door, I took it anyway. After I returned from decorating your house, I opened the letter and found that it was about sis!"

His eyes slowly widened in horror. He kept staring at her until his eyes began to sting. Suddenly, he recalled seeing a letter in her house when he went to call her. At that time, he felt it to be vaguely familiar.

"What did that letter say?"

Lihua didn't notice the change in his tone and demeanor. The color was beginning to drain away from his face as this truth shook the earth beneath his feet.

"Ah, you have no idea! That letter had scared me so much! It was from an agent who works with sis and is also a part of the same mission in investigating the Mafia King. I don't know if it's a man or woman because they didn't reveal their identity. But they said that…"

She proceeded to tell the content she read in that letter. The more she spoke, the more dread arose in Wei's chest. If not for his impassive and indifferent expression, she would have already caught that something was wrong with him. But only he knew how immense strength it took to hide the alarm and panic.

Lihua sighed. "Unfortunately, I couldn't read the whole letter. That day, Bobo spilled juice on it by mistake so the rest of the letter got unreadable. The last thing I could read was that agent revealing the Mafia King's identity."

He froze.

"But because of the juice, I could only see that the name started from J."

Wei felt breathless as if somebody was strangling him. The panic rose to a whole nother level. His body began quivering and trembling. His mind was in a jumbled mess. He could hardly focus.

"J-J…?"

"En. I got really afraid. Sis was in danger. There was no contact from her. So, I quickly went to meet Mo Huojin."

The mention of his name snapped Wei out of his daze as if he was electrocuted. "...Mo Huojin? Why?"

"Yes! Because he is a cop too like sis. He is not a part of the mission, but he and sis have worked together before."

As if a thunderbolt struck him hard, he stared at her in utter shock. "Cop? But...you said he was your friend."

Lihua remembered her excuse and felt guilty. "Ah that. Sorry, Boss. When Mo Huojin and I discussed the case, he said not to talk about it to anyone. If anybody heard about it, it was possible that it would reach the Mafia King's ears. So I just said that he is my friend. But he is actually sis's colleague. I showed him the letter and since then, he began helping me with the investigation."

Since that night Lihua knew about the Mafia King, but he had no idea.

"He pulled out the companies that started with J and searched for any Underworld connections. One day, he got a lead on Jian Steel company and found that one of its cheating executives was going to be present in the bar. So we went to dig for information about him."

So at that time in the bar, Lihua was out for investigating Song Jia?

She coughed. "Boss, I am really sorry again for lying to you about going to Yaya's home. It was actually to know if Jian Steel was the company where the Mafia King worked. But we got nothing from them. The other companies weren't suspicious either who had any involvement with sis. Mo Huojin said that the only company left was Jiang Industries."

Wei became so deathly pale that he could hardly maintain his balance.

Jiang Industries. Me…

His chest heaved in breathlessness. A faint line of sweat formed on his forehead and his heart pounded as the adrenaline rushed in full swing.

Lihua said, "But I refused to let him investigate your company. After all, how could you be the Mafia King?" She smiled.

He stiffened. His voice shook as he spoke, "D-didn't investigate…?"

"En. I know you so well. You are my Boss and my neighbor. We have spent so much time together. Of course, you are not the Mafia King. Investigating Jiang Industries would be a waste of time. But Mo Huojin was adamant!" She fumed.

Wei dug his nails in his palm. His heart erupted in a burst of fury and danger.

"He was saying something like that Jiang Industries is too clean and it's suspicious. I was tired of telling him to let it be. Finally, I was so angry that I told him to do whatever he wants because he was not going to find anything about you anyway. You are innocent so what would he prove?" She shook her head in dismissal.

The trust and belief in her voice made his eyelids tremble. Her blind faith in him made him slightly relieved, but at the same time, it also gave a sense of terrible guilt to his heart. He was lying to her from the beginning, and honestly, one month was still too little time to trust him regarding something so serious. She never faltered for a moment even when Mo Huojin was trying to convince her otherwise.

Suddenly he felt he couldn't meet her gaze.

Lihua clapped her hands once. "But before Mo Huojin could find out anything, I got the message from sis that she is safe! Hehe, so all my worries got poof!"

Wei blinked his eyes.

That's right. That day I brought Mo Huojin to the base...

He said that Lihua was worried about Song Jia, so Wei sent a fake message, not to make her think about her anymore. He captured Mo Huojin and destroyed their sim cards in a fit of jealousy, but now he realized that he actually saved himself from big trouble.

If he hadn't sent out that fake message, they would have continued with the investigation. Maybe Mo Huojin would have gotten some clue to his identity as the Mafia King. But because of the message and the fact that Mo Huojin was captured anyway, there was no way for Lihua to know anything. His jealousy had unintentionally saved him.

But that didn't mean the danger was lifted.

That agent was still there. A dark storm riled up in his threatening gaze.

So apart from Song Jia, somebody else is in the Jiang villa too. That letter was from the villa. That's why I felt so familiar.

If that unknown agent could send a letter once, he or she would send it again. Lihua now thought that Song Jia was safe.

But that agent would still be waiting and expecting her help. With no response from her or Mo Huojin, that person would definitely contact Lihua again. Somehow, he unintentionally averted the crisis this time, but not the next time. He wouldn't be so lucky every time.

As Wei was lost in his own thoughts, Lihua curiously asked, "By the way Boss, can you find out about the Mafia King?"
