The Mafia King's First Love

The four thugs didn't dare raise their heads as Wei royally walked towards the crowd. Everybody sharply gasped and unconsciously took a step back.

The thugs had already informed Chang Fang and he, in turn, urgently notified Wei about the situation.

From his spot, Mo Huojin narrowed his eyes as he entered the scene.

Why is he here?

Lihua was now sure that he had some kind of telepathic power. The day before he came just at the time when everyone was bullying her, and now once again when she was about to be arrested.

Meng Ya eagerly shook her arm. "Lihua! CEO Jiang is here! Now nobody will dare to take you away."

The officer-in-charge was shocked.

CEO Jiang Wei?

Wei ignored everybody else and focussed solely on Lihua first. He froze and his gaze turned cold as he saw her cheek red and slightly swollen.

"Boss why are-"

But her words got cut off as he turned her head sideways and held her cheek, watching the redness of the slap.

The temperature dropped to below freezing point, making everyone shudder in fear.

"Who did this?" His voice was barely audible, yet everyone heard it crystal clear. The alarm in his voice was unmistakable.

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu instantly felt the danger and bloodthirst in the atmosphere.

For a moment, Lihua was lost in his deep and penetrating gaze. Everybody was afraid of him while only she remained unaffected by his threatening stance. She observed his minute expressions.

"Are you angry, Boss?"

Wei slightly leaned towards her and whispered as he stared straight at her, "Very."

She felt her heart thud at his serious expression that masked the concern for her. Her boss, who had a negative EQ and who never seemed to care for anybody, was angry for her sake, which made her heart skip a beat.

Ahhh Godly handsome prince looks more handsome when he is furious, she sheepishly grinned.

Wei glanced at the Lu couple and said, "Which one of you hit her?"

They gulped in fear. They didn't understand who this man was that suddenly barged into the scene, but they knew he wasn't to be messed up with.

Meng Ya said, "This old woman hit her! She is even accusing Lihua of kidnapping Lu Jie and the police here want to take her for questioning!"

Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth. "Y-yeah so what!? She is the culprit! Of course, I will hit her!" She sobbed.

"And if she is not?" Wei calmly asked.

Mr. Lu frowned. "What?"

"If she is not the culprit, what will you do?"

"There is no doubt about that!"

The four thugs cursed her.

What an idiot! Talking that way to the Mafia King...you are dead!

Wei's commanding presence forced Mrs. Lu to cower back. "Last time. Don't raise your voice at me."

They jolted in shock.

The officer-in-charge said, "CEO Jiang, may I know how you are here?"

Wei stared at Lihua. "I will always be there wherever she is."

Everybody - "..."

They violently coughed.

Such dog food!

Lihua blushed hard. "B-Boss what are you saying…?" She wanted to hide in a hole, away from those piercing gazes.

The officer coughed. "We are investigating Miss Lu Jie's disappearance and according to the recent bullying incident, we are suspecting Song Lihua."

Wei narrowed his eyes.

It was upon his orders that his men kidnapped and killed her, but he didn't imagine that the blame would fall on Lihua.

He felt disappointed in himself.

I should have been more careful.

Wei was about to say that Lihua was with him that day, cooking together. But before that, the officer spoke, "But these goons here say that she was with them."

The thugs nodded hard. "Yes!"

B-Boss! We did as you told! We helped your woman, Boss! Praise us!

On the contrary, Wei wasn't too happy. He wanted to be the witness to save her. Instead, these thugs did that. Now if he said that she was with him, it would only cause Lihua more trouble.

He looked down at them and pursed his lips.

You took away my spotlight.

Why doesn't Boss look happy? What did we do wrong? They sobbed.

Lihua said in exasperation, "But I really don't know-"

The thugs banged their heads on the ground before she could speak. "Goddess! We offer you our loyalty!"

Nobody is letting me speak!

"Please stop banging your heads! Do you want to die?"

"For you, we will be glad to give up our life!"

"..."

Wei said, "So, it proves that Lihua is innocent."

Lihua looked at him, dumbfounded.

Why aren't you saying anything? We were clearly together!

He stepped in front of Mrs. Lu and his dark and expressionless gaze cast a threatening shadow upon her. "So how are you planning to pay back for the slap?"

She stuttered. "W-what do you mean? I-I-"

"I mean that it's your turn now."

She paled.

Mr. Lu indignantly said, "What do you mean? You will slap my wife!?"

Mrs. Lu burst into tears. "I was just worried about my daughter…She should understand…"

"You slapped her and you want her to understand?" He tilted his head. "I see…"

Wei's hands itched to grab an ax and cut her arm off that dared touch Lihua. And he would definitely do that. She was going to pay with her blood for sure.

But not now.

The officer interrupted. "Mr. Jiang. We cannot allow anybody to get violent here. For now, we will take these four thugs into our custody and question them again as witnesses. Miss Song, if I need your assistance, I will contact you."

Wei threateningly shot a glare at the officer. "You will not contact Lihua. Whatever it is, you will go through me."

The officer gulped and sweated. "Y-yes Mr. Jiang. As you say." He was too afraid to speak anything against him.

The situation was still over Lihua's head. The men she never met in her life were giving statements for her. Why?

The officer said, "You four come with me."

The four thugs gulped.

Will he put us in jail after we give our statements? Ah, bye bye our freedom…Jail is better than the Boss gauging our eyes out.

After the whole fiasco got over, Wei said to Lihua, "Wait for me. I will be back in a while."

At Chang Fang's base, he stood in attention as Wei stepped in. "Boss!"

His voice turned cold and his gaze turned murderous. "Where are they?"
