Lihua was stupefied for a moment. She saw the tall and imposing man lying on the floor with a broken wrist who was clutching his stomach in pain.

  Naturally, Lihua thought that Wei did this to him. Just like the other customers, Lihua couldn't see much of what was happening between Lu Bojing and him. Plus she also had her eyes shut.

  When did Wei come and deal with him? So fast!

  "Lihua," Wei's voice was quivering as he held her. He tightened his embrace. "Lihua, are you okay?"

  Wei was working in his room on his laptop with Lihua, the cat by his side. He was giving orders to find the traitor in the Underworld as soon as possible when he saw Lihua's message.

  'Please help.'

  Just two words, and Wei got to his feet as if lightning struck him.

  Help? What help? Why help? Was she in danger? Was somebody trying to hurt her?

  His face turned white in fear, and he immediately called her back. But he cut the call in the next second. Since Lihua texted him instead of calling him, he figured it would be a problem if he called her back and her phone rang.

  What if she was hiding from someone and his call would give away her location?

  For the same reason, he didn't message back either.

  Instead, he ordered Fu Renshu to track Lihua's location as soon as possible. He wondered where Lu Bojing was. He was supposed to protect her at all times, and if he wasn't there with her and Lihua had to message him instead of relying on Lu Bojing, it meant that he had failed in his job.

  But before coming to that conclusion, he called Lu Bojing's number too. But he didn't pick his call.

  Wei's Godly handsome face darkened in rage, and he immediately dialed Mingshen's number.

  "Lu Bojing is not doing his job. If anything happens to Lihua, I will kill him with my own hands," the threat in his voice was real.

  There was a beat of silence.

  Mingshen quietly asked from the other end, "What is the situation?"

  "Lihua is in danger. She just texted me for help. She wouldn't have to if Lu Bojing was there with her. He is not picking my calls either."

  "……I will be there too," he hung up.

  At present, Wei was still hugging her, assuring himself that she was alright. He anxiously looked at her up and down to check for any injuries.

  "Y-you are okay…" he whispered in relief.

  He didn't notice that his eyes were wet the whole way from when he had left the villa. Thinking of Lihua and his child in danger was enough to make him feel crazy and at edge. What he was afraid about the most was if he arrived late.

  The whole supermarket was instantly filled with Jiang family's guards. Men in black surrounded the entrance, exit and the whole area inside. The staff and the other customers were dumbfounded.

  Who are these people?

  Lihua looked at his misty gaze, and her heart twisted in pain. "I-I am okay now…"

  She glanced at the man's pathetic state and felt satisfied.

  He deserved that!

  But when did Wei come and did that? I didn't hear anything…


  Wei anxiously asked, "What happened?"

  Lihua pursed her lips and explained everything in short. The temperature dropped by several degrees.

  Somebody dared to try to hit my Lihua……

  "Who was he?" He turned and saw the man lying on the floor. His gaze became frosty, and he whispered, "I will deal with him "

  Lihua blinked her eyes. "Don't you know? Didn't you just hit him now?"

  Wei tilted his head. "Me?"

  Then his gaze finally fell upon Lu Bojing, who was cowering in a corner with his eyes filled with tears.

  Wei narrowed his eyes. He understood everything.

  "Wei?"

  He looked back at her. "It's nothing. Don't worry. Everything is okay now."

  Fu Renshu came by his side. "Boss, the owner is here. The man's uncle, apparently."

  His expression turned cold. "I want to meet him."

  Lu Bojing recalled the conditions that Wei had told him, and he turned pale.

  He won't kill me, right? I did everything as he told me!

  But he was still afraid of him, so he quietly sneaked away into the next section, running for his life. His hands were on the floor as he bent and crawled into safety.

  But then he saw a pair of black shoes coming into his view. He raised his head, and his soul flew away from his body.

  "B-B-Boss…"

  Mingshen was staring down at him with his eyes squinted. "Assistant Lu."

  He gulped hard.

  Did I fail in my job? Did I not protect Song Lihua well?

  He sniffled and lowered his head. "I-I am sorry Boss…… Please punish me however you wish…"

  Mingshen saw his body trembling and shivering. "Get up."

  Lu Bojing followed his order and stood on his feet.

  Mingshen tilted his head. Then he lifted his chin and forced him to face him. Lu Bojing wanted to really die at that moment.

  Please let me have an easy death, God!

  But instead of doing anything harmful, Mingshen asked, "Who did that?"

  He referred to his cheek that was red and slightly swollen. Lu Bojing said, "T-that man punched me…"

  His expression turned ugly. "How many times should I tell you not to let anybody touch you. Is there garbage filled in your brain?"

  "S-sorry…"

  "Shut up!"

  Mingshen turned his face and just felt the bruise with his thumb.

  Suddenly, a cup fell on the floor and shattered into pieces. They turned and saw Lihua standing, her eyes widened in disbelief. She gasped.

  Mingshen smiled. "Song Lihua."

  "Y-you…… what are you doing to him?"

  "What? What am I doing to him?"

  "Don't act innocent!" Lihua's face blushed, and she looked away. "What's with holding Lu Bojing's face like that? Do you know him?"

  Mingshen still didn't understand where she was going with this. "Care to explain a bit more, Song Lihua? Apparently, your species and my intelligent species speak different languages."

  She glared at him. She pushed him away from Lu Bojing and stood between them. "Don't you dare have any intentions for him!"

  "INTENTIONS?"

  "I-I didn't know that you are……you are……gay. I respect your orientation, but Lu Bojing is an innocent man. Don't lay your hands on him!"

  "What!?"
