Li Lian stepped out from the car after Li Jun Wei. They started the journey to find Li Xiao Chen during the afternoon and now the sky had turned pitch black. She looked at her watch, noting that it was still seven in the evening.
Her gaze then moved to look at the house they have stopped by. The house was large and tall, build with three floor and at the entrance there was a large fountain around the circular entrance.
It was such a large mansion where a garden was separated from the main house.
"Have you gotten in contact with your grandfather?" Li Lian questioned. After they read the docunts sent by Zhuang Xuan about the death of Wei Tsui Lan’s mother and sister. It appears that Wei Tsui Lan assud the person who caused the arson was the person who worked under Li Jun Wei’s grandfather.
"His phone is off but I have told soone else in the company to call him," Li Jun Wei answered. While his words sounded calm, his eyes were not and standing beside him, Li Lian could tell this much better than anyone else.
"It is said that during the court, a young man intervene the session and shouted that the court was biased. He ntioned that your grandfather was also the one who had bribed the judges to sway their judgent. That person must be Tsui Lan," Li Lian said as she moved away from the car, climbing to the staircase that lead to the house’s entrance. "Do you know whether the loan company was your grandfather’s?"
"It is," Li Jun Wei confird. "Before I take over the position as the chairman, I learned that grandfather took the business from his father’s. The company was founded because they wanted to work with Suan Lung."
"Who is Suan Lung?" Li Lian questioned. She felt that the na was familiar but couldn’t bring herself to rember who it was.
"The person who had take over the position of the underworld’s head in the past. The person we are eting now is his successor," Li Jun Wei filled the blanks.
Now Li Lian rembered and her eyes brightened. She rembered the man because her grandfather once ntioned about the man, "I know him, he was the person who is known to beco the head of the underworld in the staggering age of eighteen."
Li Jun Wei confird, "Yes, he lead the whole mafia in Beijing and Shanghai alone for more than fourth years."
"Who is the person we are going to et now?" Li Lian had never seen Suan Lung and had only heard of his na. She wondered if the person they would et now look as scary as the people she t when she was still living in the Maple house. Their scary appearance was the least of Li Lian’s worries now as she was more concerned whether or not they would be able to please the new successor to have him lend his n for their mission to rescue Li Xiao Chen.
"He is fairly normal. You will be surprise when you see him later," Li Jun Wei answered with a smile. "I rember you have t him once."
Li Lian tried to rember the person whom she t since she woke up from her coma, but she didn’t rember ever seeing a person who suit the profile of a mafia successor.
A servant ca to their side, his hair portioned in the middle with a glasses resting on his nose. "Mr. Li it had been a long ti. This certainly be a very pleasing surprise for Mr. Wang. I will show you the way to the room."
"How is he? After his engagent, I hear he had beca more tender," Li Jun Wei spoke as he entered the house. Li Lian heard the other man chuckled.
"I don’t know if tender is the right word. I can only see him to be kind to young Miss Yun and still pertain the sa behavior to others," said the man, "But please keep this talk between us."
"Too late. I have heard it," ca another voice that was both deep and bottomless cold.
Li Lian was startled by the voice and looked upward to see the tall man who was standing at the top of the staircase. Even though it was his ho, the man had worn a gray suit, his hair was combed neatly to the back and while he had a handso face the coldness held on his face made him unapproachable.
Seeing him, Li Lian rembered she had seen the man once. It was during the birthday party of Li Jun Wei’s cousin. It was him? Li Lian questioned with a little disbelief. Not because the man didn’t suited the role, it was because he looked much younger than she thought perhaps one or two years younger than Li Jun Wei.
She also noticed that even though Li Jun Wei was known to be a cold person, this man won by his stone-like expression.
A new smile appeared on Li Jun Wei’s face, one that was friendly. "How are you, Li Lei? We didn’t get to talk much last ti. I’m sorry to co on you only in ti like this."
"You are less more troubleso than the people who ca to beg help for . I don’t mind it. Also, I did owe you a lot to be here now," the man whose na was Wang Li Lei then walked down the staircase, his eyes traveled from Li Jun Wei to Li Lian who was wondering how close this man was to her husband.
"You must be Li Lian. Pleasure to finally et you, I have heard a lot of things about you," Wang Li Lei offered his hand for a handshake which Li Lian returned with a polite smile.
"From Li Lei?" Li Lian looked at her husband who quirked a smile. He appeared less stiff and angry for now but she knew at the ntion of Li Xiao Chen those calmness would vanish in a blink. "I hope it is only great things that you heard."
"He," Wang Li Lei tipped his chin, "In the conversation between us three, only sweet words are said about you. Unless ghost posses him nothing else but praise will you hear from him."
"Three?" Li Lian questioned as it was unclear.
"Us, and another of our friend whose na is Han Xi Guang. But this talk should be discussed later. Let’s get inside and talk about Wei Tsui Lan."
Li Jun Wei’s eyes narrowed dangerously in the ntion of the man who had kidnapped his brother. His anger clear on his face as he nodded. Li Lian reached out to hold his hand, acting as his pacifier which had him smile.
