The man had his hand tied with a rope on the back of his chair and his mouth was gagged by a white fabric in order to prevent him from biting his own tongue to death. Jang Hyun took his key, making a dangling voice that woke the man up from his light daze. Seeing Wang Li Lei standing languidly in front of the iron bars, the traitor's eyes beca fierce. Glaring at him, the traitor tried to muster all his power to cut open the rope on his wrist by force yet he could only feel the rope giving a stinging pain as it bite deeper to his flesh.
"I would prefer if you stay quiet, Yang Baekri." Wang Li Lei stance himself composed, his voice calm like the ember before a fire burned ablaze. Jang Hyun beside him brought another chair for Wang Li Lei, placing himself beside his chair as he did so. The traitor who heard his real na being called up looked at him surprised. Thinking that Wang Li Lei would make a move, he waited there staring at the man who did nothing but sitting there in silence. What was he thinking? Yang Baekri questioned in ponder. The distance was very close for him to take the man's life yet at the sa ti he felt ocean apart. Sitting there doing nothing but looking at a place he couldn't make out to be where, the man seed like a lion who was studying its prey. Calm yet deadly.
Seeing that Yang Baekri had gone silent, Wang Li Lei finally moved his gaze at the man. "Do you decide to cooperate now?" His words wasn't a question but a declaration.
Yang Baekri bite to the gag over his mouth, yelling his muffled words. Raising a finger, Wang Li Lei cued Jang Hyun. Moving from his side, Jang Hyun untied the rope over his mouth, eyeing the man in case he carelessly moved from his spot.
"I don't know why are you doing this, master but I'm not a traitor! Soone must have trapped !" He protested.
"What good would they have to trap you?" As though soone had cut off his tongue, the man beca instantly silent.
"Hyun." Wang Li Lei called his assistant for the man to bow beside him.
"Mr. Yang, since a week ago, our report said that you recently visit the Club in Chuxuan street for three days every weeks, is this claim correct?" Jang Hyun interrogated from the side, taking his master's questioning role.
Yang Baekri dug his hand to the wooden armchair. Lying now would be riskier so the man chose to replied truthfully. "Yes. Is there anything wrong for a man to often visit a night club?"
"Of course there isn't." Jang Hyun smoothly replied. "Unless if there is soone you have to et there weekly to give reports to, don't you? The third in command of Choi Group, Chengye. This man must be your superior isn't he?" He showed a cut out picture of a man that was taken anonymously. Seeing the picture, Yang Baekri broke to cold sweats, his face left evidence of the surprise flashing over his face.
Yang Baekri gape his mouth, quickly, he positioned his tongue bellow his teeth to bite himself to death when his mouth was gagged again by Jang Hyun. "Our suspicion is right, master." Jang Hyun released his hand after tying the fabric.
Wang Li Lei humd, each second inside the cell his eyes turned frosty. Tapping his fingers on the armchair he glanced at the man. "What was Choi Yeon Jun's order?" Yang Baekri avoided looking at his eyes, showing no intention to reply his interrogation. "It's fine if you do not want to answer , your friend on the cell beside your right have confessed this morning after all."
Yang Baekri froze. His friend? Who? Which one?
He was apprehended this afternoon so he didn't know what had taken place on his right cell.
"All of them. The three that ca with you." Wang Li Lei added, as though he could read his mind. "You only have one choice answer or die." The man struck dumb his mind couldn't process since when Wang Li Lei had found out of his true identity or even the fact that Choi Group had been keeping a watch on Dragon Groups. But one thing he know was the fact that his statent of his friend had confessed was a bluff. After all, the man would have killed him off now who had no use.
He let out a muffled words again for Jang Hyun to untie the rope again. Once he felt the gag slipping from his mouth, the man negotiated. "Will you release and my friend if I reply to your questions?"
"Depends." He replied. "If you reply truthfully I will but do rember you only have one chance."
Yang Baekri looked to the side, his eyes traveling to see Jang Hyun holding a straight unreadable expression. Choosing his bet wisely he spoke. "The head told us to do nothing but watch the movent in Dragon Group."
Jang Hyun scrunched his brows. "Only that?"
"Nothing but that." He confird. When it was true he wasn't lying, he wasn't saying the complete order that Chengye had gave him. The order was to watch thee movent of the Dragon Group, particularly, a few mbers they had taken a note of. Taking a small note that Wang Li Lei hadn't give a response, the man quirked a small smile. Even if he's lying now, he's the head of the spy inside the Dragon Group. Wang Li Lei wouldn't carelessly dispose him off when he hold much information of Choi Group, the man believed.
Wang Li Lei stood from his chair languidly, his steps brought him to exit the cell. Taking it as passing a death trial, Yang Baekri tensed shoulder limped only to hear a clicking sound and a cold tal hitting his forehead. Startled, he looked up to find Jang Hyun pointing his trigger to his head.
"Why...?" He asked with a plead over his eyes. "I've told you everything! The truth!"
"Whether it is truth or the otherwise, a traitor is not one to be release on alive." Jang Hyun said tonelessly.
"But you can't kill this way!" He panicked, words slipping madly from his mouth. "I have informations of the Choi Group, don't you want to know-" at his words, Jang Hyun chuckled. He looked at Jang Hyun who had covered his mouth from his laughter. "Why are you laughing?!" He yelled.
"Do you know why you were chosen to spy by Chengye?" Jang Hyun saw his clueless look and took a pity on him. "It's because you do not know anything that he sent you here. Would he send soone who knows everything? He sent you here to die." Seeing the man's face paled, Jang Hyun didn't wait for his future words and pulled his trigger for the gunshot to echo through the dimd hall.
The mory upon Wang Li Lei's head faded back to the sight of Xiao Yun sleeping beside him. Once again he brushed his hand on Xiao Yun's cheeks. Her lips were muttering sothing very faintly that he wondered what she was speaking in her sleep. All the traitors did not ntioned Xiao Yun's na nor their objective involved Xiao Yun. One would think it was a good report but that wasn't the case. The more Choi Yeon Jun conceal his sche, the deeper the fact that his plan was moving in silence. When he recalled the nightmare which was his past that he had experienced, rage crawled up to his eyes. The thought of killing Choi Yeon Jun now before he could see Xiao Yun again had passed to his mind nurous tis but he couldn't now. If he go against Choi Group, the whole Chinese Mafia group would go to war for this sake. He could have done it nevertheless. Going to a war for Xiao Yun's sake was nothing compared to loosing her. But if it only worsened her safety, Wang Li Lei chose another option for now. He would never let Choi Yeon Jun repeat the sa incident as in the past.
"Li Lei..." Xiao Yun called. "Yes?" He asked regardless of knowing that she was sleeping.
"I..." Xiao Yun trailed speaking in a softer mumble before furrowing her brows. "The cake I made was burned..." she spoke again and snuggled back to her sleep. He rose his eyebrows wondering what she ant by baking a cake and chuckled. "Good night and have a sweet dream." He left a kiss on her temple and closed off the door of his room.
