Chapter 426 - The Mafia King's Conclusion
The ti had arrived for Lihua to face the results of her hard work. She took a deep breath and peeked inside her test paper.
Then she went silent.
ng Ya, who had been frantically praying as if her life was on the line, was just as nervous as Lihua.
"What happened?"
"Yaya…" her eyes teared up as she stared at her. ng Ya paled and bit her lip. "Don't worry, Lihua. It's just a test, not the final exam. We still have ti."
Lihua shook her head. "I passed…"
"I know it's a hard ti, but- wait, what?"
"I passed, Yaya! Full eighty-four marks! I passed!"
ng Ya snatched the paper from the hand and stared at the marks. "The professor didn't hand you soone else's paper by mistake, right?"
"I was checking the sa thing again and again! It's really my na on the paper!" She sniffled. "I guess I am not so dumb, after all."
"Oh-oh my God! Lihua!!! This is such good news!! Hahaha!" She hugged her friend hard. "Now, you don't have to worry about the final exams at all! This calls for a party!"
Lihua nodded hard. "But we should do it after the finals."
"I agree. We will be truly free then!"
Ji Da Xia, who looked slightly worn, stepped in.
"Miss Ji! Look at my Math test paper!" Lihua hopped to her side. "I passed!"
Ji Da Xia brightened. "Congratulations! You are already doing well in other subjects. Now you cleared Math too. You are really suited for PR."
Lihua felt shy. "Thank you, Miss Ji. But it's all due to Liangshi."
And just at that mont, Wei and Fu Renshu stepped in. Fu Renshu curiously asked, "Why is everyone so happy?"
Lihua bead. "I passed my Math test! Look!"
Wei peeked in, and imaginary flowers blood around him, seeing her marks. "You did very well," he patted her head.
She stiffened for a mont.
Wei also used to pat her like this whenever she would be happy about her achievent. Then their close tis flashed in her mind, and she suddenly blushed a bit. "T-thank you very much. It's because you taught so well."
"It's because you learned quickly," he smiled.
Fu Renshu glanced at ng Ya, and the latter just puffed her cheeks and looked away angrily.
I still haven't forgotten how you ditched in front of that hooligan!
Fu Renshu scratched his chin.
She is mad…
He coughed and whispered near her. "I am sorry. I was really busy…"
She glared at him. "I am not talking to you! You abandoned the first ti itself. Now that hooligan thinks that I was making all up to get my revenge, which is true, but he shouldn't figure that out!"
"..."
I already did.
He sighed.
Ji Da Xia then got a ssage, and as she read it, she froze. She quickly headed out. Wei and his assistant glanced at each other.
Fu Renshu coughed. "We will be back in a mont."
ng Ya harrumphed. "We don't need you."
Lihua chuckled. "Why are you angry at him?"
"It seems that wherever I go, I et traitors only!"
"..."
They stepped out and saw Ji Da Xia nervously pacing back and forth. She was trying to manage sothing.
"...Can we et her? I am sure there is a misunderstanding."
They didn't know what the other person said, but it wasn't definitely good news.
"This is fake. We cannot let this out, or it will be disastrous!"
She bit her lip as she heard so more. "Alright. Do everything you can to let et that woman."
She hung up.
"What happened?"
She turned and anxiously walked up to them. "There is a problem, Boss. A big problem. Our stocks are already dwindling a bit because of your surrender and then hospitalization news. But if this goes out, it will wreak havoc."
Fu Renshu narrowed his eyes. "What do you an?"
"I just got a ssage that a woman wants to file a complaint against Boss, giving her testimony that she was forced into prostitution by you."
Wei calmly tilted his head. But his assistant was flabbergasted. "What the hell!?" Then he realized and lowered his voice. "This is nonsense! We are in the Underworld, but we don't do prostitution. How did this woman pop out of nowhere? In fact, Boss is the one who cracks down illegal prostitution bases. Nobody is allowed carry out prostitution business in Boss's territory."
Ji Da Xia nodded. "That's what I said to my source, but it isn't of any use. The woman seems to be hell-bent on going to the police. Currently, Boss is 'hospitalized,' so you cannot be in jail, but if a charge is filed against you, your and Jiang Industries' reputation will take a massive hit. It already has by your surrender. The dia will cripple us."
Wei said nothing.
Fu Renshu said with an icy expression, "This is ridiculous. What evidence does she have against Boss?"
"My source's information is extrely limited. The woman refuses to et anybody from our side."
"But if she is going to the police, then Mo Huojin can help us. He can tell us everything about that woman and the evidence."
Wei said, "I don't think so."
"Boss, what do you an?"
"If she is soone planted by Jiang Shan to defa , then I think he doubts Mo Huojin's connection with us. Maybe not him specifically, but soone else."
Ji Da Xia said, "He won't take the risk of letting that woman et him. She might even go to that officer who is with Jiang Shan and spill everything to him. And then he would take charge of ruining everything for you."
"Possible."
Fu Renshu asked a burning question. "Boss, if this is true, then it only ans one thing. If all this is happening right in our territory and under our nose when Jiang Shan is not even in the country, then…"
Wei completed his sentence.
"We have a mole within us."
