Chapter 194: Coming Home
Eventually they found their way out from the mountain. However, by then their faces were full of fatigue and their clothes were all torn and tattered.
When they found a convenience store, Quan Yu went in to borrow a power bank. Quan Yu contacted Ah Si immediately. He also had him investigate the background of this Brother Zhang and his boss.
“Young master! I’m so sorry, this was my mistake. If I was with you, I would kill that son of a bitch, Li Zhang!” Ah Si’s regretful voice sounded on the phone. When he heard that Quan Yu almost died from a heart attack, he broke out in cold sweat.
“This is not your fault. I was the one who tasked you to investigate the power who held He Sen hostage. In any case, we’ll talk about this later. Have you found anything about Li Zhang?”
“Based on our informant, Li Zhang was released on bail 6 months ago. He then started to work for Sha Kun. Due to his ruthlessness, he was valued by Sha Kun. Now, he can be considered Sha Kun’s right hand man.”
Sha Kun... Quan Yu narrowed his eyes when he heard that name. Sha Kun used to be a police officer. His parents were both law enforcement members too. However, Sha Kun lost everything in a case involving drugs and money. There was a rich man, who had ties to the police, who was kidnapped due to his drug-trafficking activities. Pressured by his superior, Sha Kun had no choice but to resort to extreme measures. In his desperation, he beat the suspect and informant to death. The informant worked for the Quan Family.
In the end, the rich man was rescued and his drug-trafficking evidence disappeared. However, in court, to preserve their own hide, the rich man and Sha Kun’s superior turned on Sha Kun. He was thus sentenced to prison.
In prison, he was tortured by the criminals he arrested. His parents lost face and became the laughing stock of the society. His mother eventually committed suicide from depression. After Sha Kun finished his sentence, he turned to the underworld and slowly became a force to be reckoned with.
“Sha Kun is on a meteoric rise. It is believed that he has connections with drug traffickers in Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. He even has a hand among the poppy farmers in Afghanistan. They still haven’t encroached into the capital but they own half of Pearl River’s underworld already. Even the local police can’t do anything to them.” Quan Yu’s brows twisted heavily. He thought for a long time before speaking. “Okay, I understand. We do not participate in the same field but tell the brothers at Pearl River to be on alert. We’ll discuss this further when I return.”
“Young master, I’m going to meet up with you with the guards. Currently Sha Kun own half of Pearl River, you and Mrs. boss are in a very dangerous situation.”
Quan Yu who had a serious expression on his face, suddenly broke in a charming smile when he heard the term Mrs. Boss.
“I’ll give you a raise later. Don’t worry about us, I know what I’m doing. Even though Sha Kun has sent Li Zhang after me, I don’t think he meant business. This Li Zhang is brash and reckless but I don’t think he has mobilized the whole gang to look for me. Moreover, since they knew my movement, they should also know that I’ve already gained contact with you. The imminent task now is to find the mole in our family. If you find them, keep them alive for me.”
Quan Yu then hung up without hesitation. He destroyed the phone to prevent monitoring.
Mo Li, who was seated inside the car, was still thinking about the dead girl. When she heard the crack of the phone, she turned to ask, “Done?”
Quan Yu nodded. “We’re already at the outskirts of Pearl River. Even though we’ve left their territory, it’s still better to be safe. Let’s leave this place!”
…
While Quan Yu contacted Ah Si, Mo Li called Jiang Yao and Old Madam Mo. She assured them that she was safe. Even though she omitted most of the details, she still gave them great frights.
“Sweetie, you have to hurry home. I’ll cook some soups for you. It’ll help calm your nerves.”
“Mom, Li Li will be reaching our house first… Why don’t you just let her come straight home?” Jiang Yao mustered up her courage to say. She hoped that Mo Li would be willing to give them a chance to make it up to her.
On the other end of the phone, Mo Li said, “Grandma, I’m already heading home. Don’t worry about me. Mother, there’s no need for you to worry too. I’ll move back after I take some rest.” One grandma and the other mother, it was clear whom Mo Li felt more comfortable with. It made Jiang Yao feel quite empty.
Due to Mo Li’s disappearance, Mo Yi barely slept the night before. He was sitting beside his wife while she talked to Mo Li. He sighed internally.?I already told her to not get too close to that Quan Kid! Now this is just great!
“Mom, Mo Li is still unwilling to come home?” Mo Zheng saw Jiang Yao’s red eyes. He felt guilty.?Looks like it’s on my shoulders to persuade Mo Li to come home!
Quan Yu and Mo Li soon arrived at the Mo Family’s old home.
Seeing Quan Yu walk through the front door, Old Madam Mo glared at him with great resentment.
