The Mafia King's First Love-Chapter 565 Neither on his side nor on yours

Wei, who was watching Lihua's interview on his tab, trembled hard.

'Now, I am pregnant and I miss him…I miss him very much.' ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

'I had imagined it would be a happy pregnancy. We would both do so many things together. We will plan for our child, do lots of shopping, decorate the child's room together, celebrate his first birthday…'

He stared at Lihua's figure, the tears shining in her eyes which gave him an urge to reach out and hug her. A storm rumbled in his eyes, recalling how he was the cause of her misery.

If I hadn't lost to Jiang Zhen…

He balled his fist, danger lurking in the air.

Wei put the tab aside and picked his phone. He dialed a number which was clicked in just one rang.

An American accent sounded from the other side. "Yes, Jiang Wei."

"Charles."

"You cannot be impatient. Your assistant Fu Renshu and that woman with him…what was her name again? Ya…Meng Ya, yes! They are helping me bring my force to China. You have to wait."

Wei spoke in fluent English, "I didn't call you for that."

"Then?"

"My wife wants to shut down Jiang Zhen's drug business."

"Ah, of course I have seen that. Her campaign is getting quite viral in China's social media, I see."

"Help her."

"..."

"Excuse me?"

"My wife is very capable. Her influence among the people she helped has already forced the shutdown of smaller drug peddlers. She is succeeding. More and more people are revolting against drugs. But the big fishes would be tricky."

"So?"

"Help Lihua," he expressionlessly declared.

Charles was dumbfounded. "How would I do that? And you didn't talk to me before about this drug business."

"I am talking about it right now."

"..."

"Fan the flames all up to the major drug dealers. They are not something common people can put their hands in."

"But how-"

"Do it."

"You didn't-"

"Do it."

Charles was speechless. He had only heard the rumors that Wei was a doting husband, but now he had witnessed it too!

Wei tilted his head, his eyes glinting with darkness. "This will panic Jiang Zhen too."

Charles sighed. "Yeah, I understood that. Your wife will also win, and that bastard will get even more riled up. Fine, I will do it somehow. But why do I feel that making your win is more important than making Jiang Zhen troubled? You are such a wife slave," he chuckled.

His gaze softened upon thinking about Lihua. "En."

"..."

Man, you are not even denying it!

Wei hung up and leaned his head back on the pillow.

Very soon now…Jiang Zhen. Your end is coming very soon now.

Just as Jiang Zhen had ordered, Chang Fang duly came to report his findings about Shen Yang a few days later.

"What did you find about him?"

"Boss. Once again, Shen Yang has manipulated the subjects we got from Jiming. She had given three more subjects, so the total should be ideally seventeen.

But Shen Yang brought only two back to Mr. Yang's lab.

Jiang Zhen shook hard.

"I confirmed this with Jiming too. She sent three. But we received two."

His voice turned deathly cold. "What is he doing with those subjects?"

Chang Fang pursed his lips. "Unfortunately, I couldn't find it. I checked if he is betraying us by actually being on Mr. Li Dong's side. But I didn't see any communication between them or see them meet. Boss, it seems like Shen Yang is neither on your side nor on Li Dong's."

He narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, he didn't spill out our plan to Mr. Li that we are secretly taking out his subjects. So he isn't on his side."

"Yeah…"

"But he is also stealing the subjects from you, Boss. It's speculation at this point but what if he is taking advantage of your animosity with Mr. Li Dong and wants to take the whole Underworld for himself?"

Jiang Zhen sprang up on his feet at that. He tilted his head, trying to put the pieces to fit the puzzle.

"Li Dong wants to create an unbeatable army to defeat me. I am stealing the subjects to gain the advantage and Shen Yang is stealing some of those from me…"

"Maybe, he is trying to secretly build his army too," he cleared his throat.

"Impossible! He doesn't have a doctor like Yang Mingshen or Li Dong himself to perfect the clones!"

Chang Fang halted at that.

"But maybe he doesn't need the doctor. Even though incomplete, the subjects are still stronger than anybody else. E-even if he couldn't get a doctor like Mr. Yang or Mr. Li, he has enough influence in the underworld to hire the best doctor he can. He won't be at their level, but he could still considerably help Shen Yang with the subjects he stole from you."

Jiang Zhen squinted his eyes.

Indeed..it's not like all doctors apart from them are useless.

He gritted his teeth. "How does he think he got his influence from? I made him in-charge of all the affairs and men. And now that bastard is playing a game with me?"

He felt as if he could explode at any moment. First, Li Dong and Charles joined up and now Shen Yang had his own ambitious plans…

Chang Fang gave it a thought. "Boss…what if…"

"What? Spit it out!"

"What if he secretly let Charles into China? Isn't it possible? After all, it was Shen Yang only who helped you get to China without alerting Jiang Wei or his men."

He stiffened.

"If he could do it once, he can do it again. It feels as if he is instigating Mr. Li Dong and his plans. He would have definitely got alerted by Mr. Miller's arrival, but he didn't notify you. And then he was the one who recommended that hotel to you where you met Mr. Miller for the first time." ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

Jiang Zhen slowly widened his eyes.

It was as if he was playing right into his own guard's hands.
