Chapter 64 - The Mafia King Finds Out Lihua's Lie

"Open it."

Lihua grinned and quickly opened it. Her eyes widened in surprise to find a beautiful pair of violet earrings wrapped in it.

She looked at him, stunned. Her lips curved into a beautiful smile. "Boss these earrings are so pretty!"

Wei smiled. "It is for you."

Lihua asked, "For me?"

"En. You like violet, right?"

She was taken aback. "Eh? How do you know that?"

"You told me at the time when we went shopping. You like violet, so I bought them for you."

Lihua rapidly blinked her eyes. "Ah yes. While choosing the trolley…"

She looked down at the beautiful pair of earrings and felt emotional. Her heart surged and overwhelmed in happiness.

Wei thought she might misunderstand so he quickly said, "These are not expensive. You don't like things too expensive, right?"

That skyrocketed her emotions so much that tears began to stream down her cheeks. The fact that he chose to brought an inexpensive gift though he was used to buying expensive stuff made her feel even happier. That meant that what she thought and felt mattered to him too.

Wei widened his eyes and quickly wiped her tears. "What's wrong? You don't like them?"

"Of course I like them. It's just…" she sniffled, "I never really got many gifts so-"

"I will give you gifts every day. Don't cry," Wei seriously said.

She burst into soft laughter. "I didn't mean it that way, Boss. I meant this surprise. You thought about such a pretty gift for me is what makes me happy."

"I see," he was relieved. Then he asked again, "So do you feel happy?"

Lihua brightened. "Of course Boss! I am really really happy!"

His face bloomed in happiness too.

Part one of the mission was successful.

"Wait I will wear it right now!" Lihua eagerly put on the earrings and asked, "How do I look now?" She twirled, dangling her new earrings.

Wei patted her head. "Now? You always look pretty."

Lihua froze and then blushed hard.

Boss is innocently flirting again! Ahhh! My heart!

She shyly looked away. "T-Thank you, Boss."

Her phone vibrated with a message.

'Where are you, dumb woman? You are late!'

She grimaced at Mo Huojin's message.

He cannot talk nicely at all!

Lihua cleared her throat. "Thank you so much for this gift, Boss. I will always cherish it," she smiled. "Oh yes. I have to leave. Yaya will be waiting for me."

He felt saddened at that, but he still nodded. "En. Wait. I will drop you at her home."

Point number four. Be chivalrous.

Lihua stiffened. She quickly said as she waved her hand in dismissal. "No-no. You don't have to take the trouble. I will go by myself."

Wei disagreed. "I will drop you. If it's you, it's no trouble. I will come to pick you up too after your night out is over. It will be too late."

This made her even more panicked. It seemed that she will not be able to convince him otherwise.

But I have to meet Mo Huojin! What should I do?

Wei held her hand and pulled her. "Let's go."

"Ah right…"

Oh God, please help me!

---

Outside the bar, Mo Huojin impatiently waited for Lihua. He sighed as he looked inside the bar for the hundredth time by now. The executive from the Jian Steel company was already inside at the bar counter. He might leave if they got too late.

Where is this dumb woman? Did she fell asleep?

From a distance, he finally saw Lihua rushing towards him, huffing and puffing.

Mo Huojin glared at her. "What were you doing?"

She gasped. "I am sorry. It's a long story," she sobbed.

Wei dropped her at Meng Ya's house and as soon as he left, Lihua had to take a cab to the bar. It was a roundabout way, so she got late.

He sighed. "Forget it. Let's not waste more time."

They stepped inside and the loud music made Lihua feel as if she will turn deaf.

So loud! We can still hear the music with a lower volume!

Mo Huojin quietly signaled her. "You see that man there? He is the one. Take a look but don't make it obvious."

Lihua casually looked around and found the executive. He was quite a fat man who looked in his late forties.

"Got it."

"You know what to do, right?"

She pursed her lips. "I don't think I can do this. Do I seriously have to seduce him?"

"Not seduce. Just smile and act chatty. You don't have to get into bed with him."

"Ewww! I will kill myself before that happens!" She felt disgusted.

"Just smile and talk. That's it. Don't worry I am here. If he tries to do something inappropriate, I will intervene. I will always have my eyes on you."

Lihua sighed. This was all for the sake of finding any clue about Song Jia. If luck was on their side, they would strike gold if Jian Steel turns out to be the culprit.

"Okay. I will do it."

But unknown to her, the four thugs who newly joined the Shadow Eagle gang were keeping an eye on Lihua too. They were the same thugs who helped Lihua by giving their fake testimony outside her college when she was accused of harming Lu Jie.

Ever since that day, on Wei's orders, they always quietly followed her to protect her. Even tonight, Wei ordered them to keep a lookout outside Meng Ya's house. But they were shocked to learn that she took a cab and went to a bar instead as soon as Wei left.

Naturally, they followed her here too.

"Hey! Boss Ludo Lady came to a bar. Why isn't she at her friend's house?"

"She met a strange guy too!"

"He is the same man with whom she went last night in his car!"

"I don't think this is good. Why would Boss Ludo Lady lie to the Boss and come here instead?"

"I smell something fishy!"

"What should we do?"

The leader of the gang thought for a moment. "We should tell this to Boss! After all, he entrusted her safety to us. It's our duty to update him if something changed! Let's tell Boss! We cannot take the risk."

The leader promptly dialed Wei's number which he picked at the first ring.

"Is Lihua in trouble?"

He straightened up. "Not in any problem Boss, but…"

As he told him everything that happened after he left, there was a long silence.

"I am coming."

---

In the bar, Lihua casually sat beside Jian Steel's executive and smiled at him. The manager, Kang Peng, raised his brow as he looked at her. She felt his gaze traveling up and down her body and he whistled.

"Hey, beautiful."

Lihua resisted the urge to twitch her mouth as she maintained her smile. "Hey."

"I see you are new here. Never saw you before," he propped his arm on the counter and said as his eyes glinted in curiosity.

She tried her best to act coy and sweet even though she felt creeped out inside. "Yeah, I am. Actually, I am new in the city and finding my way."

"Hooo... interesting. What job do you do?" He took a sip

She shrugged. "Kind of freelancer right now. Jumping from one job to another as it suits my pocket."

"Hahaha. Life must be tough."

She pouted. "It is. I am new to this city life and it's so damn expensive! I cannot even afford the rent here."

Kang Peng clicked his tongue. "A beautiful young woman like you shouldn't suffer," he looked at the bartender. "One drink on my tab."

"No, no! How can I trouble you?"

He slowly inched his hand towards her. "It's no trouble dear. We should help each other."

Lihua gulped and tacitly pulled her hand back without arousing any suspicion. "So Sir. What job do you do?"

"I am the manager in Jian Steel."

Her eyes sparkled. "Oh gosh, a manager! You must be so rich. No worries about finding a secure job or money at all."

Kang Peng acted modestly. "It's not a big deal."

"It is. Your life is set whereas I…" Lihua sighed and looked away, distressed. "I wish there was some way to earn some quick cash. I don't have a proper job, cannot afford the rent and I am running out of my little savings. Life would be so sorted if I had more money…"

Kang Peng's eyes glinted as a cunning idea formed in his head. "You are really desperate for money huh?"

Lihua rolled her eyes. "Anybody would be in my place. Life is so unfair."

Mo Huojin, who was keeping an eye on her, was impressed.

She was nervous at first, but now she looks so natural. Keep this up.

Kang Peng touched his chin. "If you want, I can introduce you to one job."

She beamed as she looked at him gratefully. "Really? Do you mean in Jian Steel? I am ready to do any work!"

"Any work? Are you sure?"
