The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 486 - The Mafia King Has Lost

Lihua shut her eyes in disgust. Everybody trusted Shen Yang so much. Lihua was even the one who helped bring them together.

She started to feel terribly guilty.

She felt Lu Bojing's trembling hand hold hers. He was still shaken up by Li Dong's presence. But he couldn't see her so distressed.

"P-please don't blame yourself... I-It's not your fault. You didn't know the truth. Nobody did…" he sniffled.

Lihua bit her lip.

Shen Yang smiled. "Thank you so much, Song Lihua. You helped me a lot during Ruiling's engagement ceremony to unite us."

Jia gave him a cold stare.

How dare he make Lihua feel guilty about this?

Her hands itched to slap his face so badly. She hated Wei, but she had no resentment for the family members who were innocent. She felt sympathy for Jiang Ruiling for falling in love with such a monster. As a woman, how could she hear all the disrespectful things he uttered about Jiang Ruiling?

On the other side, Wei stared at Shen Yang hard as if he would kill him simply by his murderous glare.

He had lost.

He was so sure to kill Jiang Zhen by his own hands today.

But Shen Yang's betrayal defeated him. How was he supposed to save Lihua when the whole base was filled with Jiang Zhen's men?

They had guns against which Wei's fist fight wouldn't last.

Even Lu Bojing didn't seem to be in his right state of mind to fight. Li Dong had frightened him to his core.

What was he supposed to do?

Jiang Zhen said, "Ah, it seems that you have finally admitted defeat. At least in your mind."

Wei stared at Lihua, who was looking back at him. She was shaking her head as if trying to tell him something.

He understood what she wanted to say.

It's not your fault.

She had tears in her eyes but a smile on her lips.

The smile tightened his chest in pain and so did Jia's.

It was hard for her, but Jia controlled her tears from slipping. She was here, but her motive wasn't to save Lihua. It was impossible. Jiang Zhen was too strong now. With Wei's Underworld gangs now serving Jiang Zhen, they had nothing to fight. As for cops, until they can prove Jiang Zhen's guilt, they won't lay a finger on him. She was pretty sure he must have his officers spying for him in the law too.

Her only aim was to see Lihua safe with her own eyes and also get a sense of Jiang Zhen's base and his men. Even she knew that fighting today was a lost cause. The advantageous thing that happened was she learned all the cards Jiang Zhen had.

She now knew that Shen Yang was a traitor, and whoever this Xian Xue was, she could reach out to him if needed.

She thought back to her conversation with Mingshen.

At first, she had gotten really emotional and wanted to charge straight at Jiang Zhen's place to save Lihua.

Mingshen had said as he lazily stretched his leg from his seat. "Sure. Go ahead. Then when I get your dead body, I will finally be able to do the heart transplant. Saves me the trouble of killing my Spicy."

Jia shot him a nasty stare. She really wasn't in the mood for his terrible jokes.

He sneered. "Do you really think it will be so easy? That man operated from overseas for all these years. He planted a mole in Wei's Underworld, which was supposed to be next to impossible. He came back to China, and nobody got a clue. He planned false accusations against Wei and made Jiang Industries and his reputation crash in a matter of just a few days. He had been so patient all along to get his revenge. Do you think a man like him is so easy to defeat?"

Mingshen quickly clarified. "Spicy, please don't be mad at me. I don't doubt your abilities at all. I am just being realistic. I don't want you to hate me," he showed a pitiful expression.

She glared at him. "Get to the point!"

Mingshen smiled and leaned back. "Patience, my dear, Spicy. We need patience just like he had for all these years."

Her face twisted in an ugly countenance. "Are you an idiot? I am not going to wait for years!"

"Patience doesn't necessarily mean years. Be it a few months, but we need to grab the lion's head. Right now, he will be on his guard like crazy. And why not? He has declared war, and until he sees that Jiang Wei is completely crushed, and he has absolutely no threat from him will he begin to lower it."

He sneered. "I am pretty sure that dumb man would plan something to save Lihua. He is too desperate and angry, which leaves a lot of room for mistakes. It's foolish. Until Jiang Zhen lays down all his cards, we shouldn't think of any plan. At least not to strike him."

Jia took a deep breath and calmed down.

Now that Mingshen said this, she realized that indeed she was thinking of being foolish.

She thought a lot about it in silence. She finally said after a long time. "I will go undercover in Jiang Shen's base."

"How did that turn out while you were at Wei's base?" He smiled in disdain.

Her mouth twitched.

"Your 'dead body' was transported to my place. In this case, it would be handed over to Li Dong."

She glared at him.

"And do you think he would let any new person join his gang at such a crucial time when he is taking over Wei? You would be like an alarm bell ringing loudly."

Ugh!

Her worry for Lihua was making Jia not think straight.

It's so basic!

"But you do have one way where you can enter without his suspicion."

"How?" She frowned.

"To join somebody else who works with Jiang Zhen and then work your way through to get into his place."

Jia narrowed her eyes.

"Li Dong."
