Chapter 32 - The Mafia King's Convenient Misunderstanding
Every step Wei took towards Chang Fang rang alarm bells in his mind. There was a chair in his path but Wei kicked it hard. Even after killing the culprits, Wei couldn't calm down. He felt an urge to destroy everything that lied in his way.
"Boss…"
"Your n kidnapped Lihua unnecessarily. You brought her to a place like this. You could have killed her. How should I punish you for this?"
Wei expressionlessly stared at him, but his impassive gaze was more dangerous and fiercer than ever.
Chang Fang dropped down to his knees and bowed his head in front of his feet. Naturally, it had no effect on Wei.
"I should-"
"Boss please forgive ! I really had no idea that she is your woman!"
Wei froze.
Pssssshhh…..
That was what Wei felt. The anger inside him suddenly deflated as if sobody poked a balloon and the air dissipated from it.
Chang Fang was trembling hard. "Boss, I swear on my honor as a leader. I wouldn't have brought her here if I knew that she was your woman...In all these years, we-we never heard of the Mafia King d-dating anybody...Boss, one chance! Please give us one chance! I beg you!"
His subordinates dropped down to their knees and begged him. "Y-Yes Boss. We didn't know. How can we dare touch your woman? Please Boss…"
Wei asked, "What did you say?"
"B-Boss, please forgive us! Please give us one chance!"
"Before that."
Chang Fang was confused. "T-that we didn't know of you dating anybody…"
Wei pursed his lips. "Before that."
What did I say before that?
One of his subordinates tugged him. He whispered, "Boss, it's about how you called that woman his woman…"
"Oh-oh yeah!"
"Boss! I didn't know that she is your woman!"
My woman…
Wei was in a daze. The term 'his woman' felt like sweet music to his ears. "Say it again."
"I didn't know that-"
"Not the full sentence. Just those two words."
Chang Fang sobbed. Why is Boss testing like this?
"Your woman."
A tickling sensation arose in his chest and it ward his heart. Hearing that term sohow gave him the proof that Lihua belonged to him. And that sense of belonging fluttered his chest in an inexplicable happiness that he didn't understand, but which he felt it crystal clear.
Wei tilted his head. "Why do you think that she is my woman?"
Once again those words made him feel as if he had never gotten that angry in the first place. He strongly liked the feeling associated with being called Lihua as his woman.
This is...is this what people call feeling happy? He wondered.
Chang Fang said, "Boss, you personally ca to my small base to save her and then you killed the leader and that businessman too because they hurt her. Isn't it because she is your woman?"
Wei seed in deep thought. "So doing these things makes her my woman?"
Wei, who had no clue about how relationships worked, was curious to know this, especially since it concerned Lihua and him.
"Of course! Only a boyfriend would go this far to save his woman!"
First he heard from ng Ya that Lihua and he were a couple because he kissed Lihua. And now Chang Fang also said that Lihua was his woman.
"So Lihua is my woman…" He was in a beautiful trance as he repeated those words.
They furiously nodded.
"Get up."
They imdiately sprang to their feet.
Wei said, "I will let this slide."
Everybody widened their eyes in shock. The Mafia King never gave second chances. Even they had no hope of getting one from him, but felt they had to try at least once before dying.
"W-what?" He was in disbelief.
"En. I like it when you call her my woman."
"..."
Just because of that?
"Lihua also said not to punish you. So, I won't."
Then Wei acted a little proud with a soft smile. "Since she is my woman, I should listen to her."
Chang Fang's jaw dropped wide open.
Are we being fed dog food? Wait. Am I seeing the Mafia King doting on a woman?
He cried tears of joy.
"Thank you so much Boss! We are so grateful to you!"
"Yes Boss!" The others cheered too.
Wei nodded. "But this is the last ti. I won't tolerate this mistake again."
They furiously nodded again.
"Convey this to all the other gangs unfailingly. Nobody will touch Lihua. She is my woman," there was a dangerous warning in his voice as he said the last sentence.
"Yes, Boss!"
Wei thought for a mont.
"If you or any other gang mbers see her walking anywhere, they should imdiately rush to help her in whatever she is doing. If you see her in trouble, you will contact imdiately."
"Yes Boss!"
"But don't tell her that they are my orders."
Ah?
They were confused.
"And don't call Boss in front of her."
Chang Fang furrowed his brows.
If not Boss, then what?
But he didn't dare ask and just nodded.
"Yes!"
Wei nodded in satisfaction. His gaze fell upon the dead leader and he turned cold.
"Find out who these n are. I want to know who they report to by tonight."
Chang Fang turned serious. "Yes, Boss!"
Wei was about to leave, but his sight fell onto his blood-stained clothes.
He pursed his lips. He didn't want to frighten Lihua with this horrific scene. Plus he even slled of blood too.
"Where is the bathroom?"
Bathroom?
Chang Fang nervously said, "B-Boss, we don't have a bathroom in the base... only torture rooms…"
Wei frowned.
He panicked. "No problem Boss! We will bring the workers here to build a bathroom right away!"
"Too much ti. Give new clothes and a strong deodorant."
"Yes, Boss!" Chang Fang ordered his underlings to make the arrangents.
Wei said, "Also, starting from today, all bases should have bathrooms built in them."
He didn't want to let the pungent sll of blood rub on him everyti he visited any base. It would be a problem to et Lihua later.
"Yes!"
---
Outside, Lihua impatiently waited for Wei. Fu Renshu was absolutely silent.
"Assistant Fu. I cannot stay here with those dangerous n inside! Boss hasn't co out yet. Why aren't we doing anything?"
Lihua was growing more concerned.
Just then, Wei ca out.
"Boss! Are you alright?" Then she looked at him up and down. "Why did you change your clothes?"
Without saying a word, he silently pulled her into his arms, shocking Lihua.
"B-Boss?"
"It got dirty a bit," he softly said.
"Oh..."
She wondered how he got a change of clothes in that leader's base.
Wei gently tightened his embrace and whispered, "Are you alright?" For a mont he felt as if his heart would stop beating. He wanted to feel for himself that she was safe.
The warmth of his embrace spread in her heart too. "En. I am sorry for making you worry. Thank you for coming for ."
"I would always. Any ti you are in trouble, I will always co for you."
His gentle words made her heart skip several beats. A bright smile curved her lips.
Wei's attention went on her wound. "You need treatnt."
"Ah? For this? It's just-"
"No buts. Renshu. Take us to the hospital."
Lihua couldn't say anything much before him. Their car drove away.
From an alley behind, a figure slowly stepped out of shadows and watched the car leave.
