Mingshen stared at his phone in a silly stupor. He thought as if a ghost had possessed Lu Bojing. His mouth was wide open in shock.

  Did he……talk back to me?

  His handsome face darkened by several shades, and his body trembled in rage.

  That IDIOT!!!

  How dare he disobey me? How dare he hung up on me!? When did that woman become more important to you than me!?

  Jia was suspicious. "What happened to you?"

  He looked at Jia, aggrieved. "Spicy, Please comfort me~"

  He threw his hands in the air towards her for a hug, which she cruelly slapped them away. "Don't touch me. I haven't forgiven you for calling me your girlfriend before," Jia said, her face turning blacker and blacker.

  Mingshen puffed up his cheeks. "What did I say wrong in that? Isn't Mom already celebrating our future marriage? Isn't she already dreaming of our beautiful children? Of course, you are my girlfriend."

  Jia sneered. "Yeah, why not? A girlfriend whose boyfriend is gonna take her heart out with his own hands and put it in some other woman's chest. Such a loving relationship."

  "Don't be so harsh, Spicy," Mingshen seemed to blush, "If you say it just once, then I won't take your heart anymore~"

  "Heh. Oh yeah? Fine then. I don't want to be a sacrificial lamb for your debt."

  Mingshen brightened. "Okie dokie Spicy! I won't take my girlfriend's heart anymore~"

  "Say that word once more, and I will kick your little brother so hard you won't be able to step out of bed."

  He dramatically clutched his chest. "Spicy, I didn't know you were so eager to play with my brother so much~ Don't worry, Spicy. If it's you I will be cuddling with in the sheets, then I would never want to step out of the bed."

  Seeing the fake lovestruck expression on his face made Jia want to throw up.

  "But we can talk in depth about that later. Listen to this, Spicy! My assistant just talked back to me." He feigned some tears in his eyes and acted pitiful. "Bojing has finally gone into his rebellious phase. I am so hurt. He talked so meanly to me…Console me, Spicy."

  "He should have done much more than just talking meanly to you. You deserve the worst treatment."

  "Ouch!"

  She narrowed her eyes. "What did you mean by that?"

  Mingshen laughed sinisterly with a not so amicable gaze. "Ah that crybaby……I am gonna punish him thoroughly when I get him back. He refused to return."

  She tilted her head. "Refused? Why would he? Wouldn't he want to be released?"

  "It seems like my dear assistant and your dear sister have grown quite fond of each other," he said that through gritted teeth, which was a sign he was getting angry. "He would stay with Lihua and was firm on that. He would only return if Lihua is with him too."

  Jia blinked her eyes. She found it quite suspicious. Lu Bojing worked with Mingshen, so how was it possible that he would start to care for Lihua so much?

  "He talked so rudely. It's clearly because of your sister that he is getting spoiled. Otherwise, he only trembled and cried before me."

  Jia sneered. "I am proud of Lihua. She is doing the right thing. You need people to revolt you so that your narcissism bubble can burst."

  He pouted. "Spicy is also so mean. But I like it."

  The door suddenly banged open and Yang Bingqing came hopping in. "Mingshen! What is it that I am hearing? Did you finally acknowledge her as your girlfriend? Is this true? I am not dreaming, right?"

  Jia froze.

  Ugh…


  Mingshen grinned. "Of course not, Mom. I would be struck by lightning if I am lying."

  She burst into tears and hugged Jia. "Thank you so much, dear. You fulfilled this aging mother's dream…" she sniffled.

  Jia felt a headache coming.

  Yang Bingqing glared at Mingshen. "Then what was this crap about sending her to that Li Dong's place! As if I will allow my daughter-in-law to go to an enemy's place! Are you nuts?"

  Daughter-in-law…


  Jia's expression was getting uglier.

  Mingshen raised his brow. "Mom, you stay out of this."

  She glared at him. "I would if I didn't have such an evil son. How can I see her walking into danger?"

  Mingshen smiled.

  Spicy is the danger herself. How could anything else threaten her?——

  Jiang villa.

  Shen Yang knocked on the door.

  "Hm."

  He slowly stepped in and stood in front of Wei, who sat expressionless on his chair, staring at his mobile. His black eyes were devoid of any warmth.

  "Boss."

  He said nothing.

  Shen Yang hesitated. "Boss, I tried to find Xian Xue, but I couldn't locate him. I don't know where he is hiding. Apologies for being capable."

  "I want Lihua back," Wei plainly said.

  Shen Yang shivered, feeling the frost from his aura.

  "I understand, Boss."

  "Then I will kill Jiang Zhen."

  The emotionless tone with which Wei said sounded even more eerie. It was as if he was possessed.

  He nodded. "Yes, Boss. Just give me orders."

  Wei stared at Lihua's laughing picture and brushed his thumb along her face.

  "Jiang Zhen will be announcing his position as the new Mafia King in a few days."

  "Yes."

  Wei tilted his head. "I am sure he will bring Lihua that day too."

  It was quite obvious. Not only will Jiang Zhen humiliate Wei in front of Lihua, but it was a great chance to show off how weak Wei was. Lihua would be in front of him, but he wouldn't be able to do anything to save her. The look of helplessness was what Jiang Zhen wanted to enjoy.

  "You will leave to infiltrate his base. I believe you can extract that information."

  "Yes, Boss. It won't be a big deal to get his base's location."

  Wei said, "Replace all his men with ours on that day. The gangs who still stand by our side.Threaten them. Kill them. I don't care how you do it. When the time is appropriate, you will lead the charge and apprehend him."

  Shen Yang asked, "Boss, to do this, I will need to disguise myself and live there for a few days. Won't the guards notice my absence?"

  Wei coldly glanced up at him. "I will take care of it. You just do what I am telling you to. I want Lihua back that day at any cost. Do you get it?"

  Shen Yang straightened up. "Yes, Boss! It will be done."

  Wei looked back at Lihua's picture…… "That day should be marked as his last."
