Chapter 451 - Surrounded
The video of Wei's arrest went viral in Weibo. Everybody saw the handcuffs on his wrists as the cops led him to the police van. Jiang Weizhe stood with his wife, Jiang Yubi, who witnessed the uproar. Her eyes were red and rimmed in tears, but she could do anything.
But amidst all this panic, Wei was calm and looked unaffected.
"Mr. Wei, tell us. Are all the allegations true?"
"Why have you been hiding until now from the police, Mr. Jiang?"
"What is your relationship with the woman?"
"You forced her and many such women into prostitution. Is it possible that you had illicit relations with them?"
"A couple and a four-year-old girl have been found dead, and it's the work of your gang. What do you say? Did they do it on your orders?"
No matter what questions or accusations were thrown at him, Wei remained unfazed. But someone from the mob was not. He threw an egg towards him that hit Wei on his head harshly. A small cut appeared on his temple and blood trickled down.
"Wei!" Jiang Yubi paled.
Fu Renshu froze and he threw a murderous glare at the crowd. "Who the fuck did that!? Come out! Who dared throw the egg at Boss!?"
The man stepped up, unafraid. "I did this! So what? Will you kill me just like you killed my sister and her family!?"
His gaze was bloodshot with rage. He charged ahead to attack Wei, but the cops caught him.
"I am the brother of the sister whose family you killed! My sister, brother-in-law and my little niece are all dead! And look at you! You don't look even a least bit guilty! You have blood on your hands, but how dare you act so high and mighty!? How did my sister ever wronged you? You...you didn't pity even my little niece. Jiang Wei, I curse that you rot in hell! I want to kill you!" He roared, enraged and tears of grief streamed down his cheeks as he mourned his sister's death.
The reporters present quickly covered the whole ruckus. Some of them pitied the brother for losing his sister. If not for the cops holding him back, he would have already choked his neck to death.
Wei stared at him but said nothing. He wiped the dripping egg yolk.
At her home preparing for a few job interviews in PR agencies, she came to know the news about Wei's arrest.
*PLOP*
A tear fell on her phone screen, seeing Wei getting by an egg. He was hurt, but he still remained calm. Her heart was filled with anguish.
She had no reason not to believe the grieving brother. Wei had killed Song Jia too.
But she knew that Wei was innocent this time. He had his reasons for killing her, which Lihua found hateful, but which were right to him as a Mafia King.
But even if Wei was the Mafia King, and he had killed people, she knew one thing for a fact.
Wei would never harm anybody without any reason. Unless he perceived someone as a threat or danger, Wei never resorted to violence. He didn't have any reason to kill an innocent family.
She gripped the phone in her hand. Veins were visible at the back of her hand, feeling sorrowful and enraged at the family's murder. Just to tighten the noose around Wei's neck, the family was killed in crossfire.
"Jiang Shan…" her jaw clenched in a fury, "That family had nothing to do with your war with our family. Yet you...You are even worse than a monster!"
She stood on feet. Reading all the hateful comments about Wei on the internet arose a stifling and suffocating feeling inside her.
I cannot be here...This time, I need to be with everyone…
Her instinct said that things wouldn't be so easy this time. Wei wouldn't be able to leave prison as easily as last time. She felt her stomach churn in anxiety as if something really disastrous was about to happen.
*Meowww*
Lihua looked down to see Qingqing nuzzling her head against her leg. Her green eyes were seriously watching her. She hugged her hard and quietly sobbed in her embrace.
"Everything...will be alright, right? I feel scared...Wei is strong, but I-I cannot help but feel afraid. Everything is in chaos...What should I do, Lihua? Will I be able to help them?"
Wei is hurt…
Qingqing furiously wriggled in her arms.
Why are you scared, human, when the Queen is with you!
Lihua quickly headed out, carrying Qingqing in her arms. She almost crashed into Lu Bojing, who hurried towards her house.
After watching this news, he knew that Lihua wouldn't stay still. And if that was so, then he ought to be at her side.
"Bojing. I-I am in a hurry…"
He saw her tear-rimmed eyelashes and understood she had cried. Pain swelled in his chest.
"I will come with you too."
"No, it's fine-"
He hastily shook his head. "I will accompany you! I-I said that I will be with you... wherever you will go. As your doctor, I will protect you. So please…"
Lihua bit her lip and gave it a thought. She didn't have time to think for long, so she agreed. "Okay. Let's go!"
He brightened and nodded hard.
Qingqing's face looked brighter after feeling Lu Bojing's presence. They took a cab and asked the driver to head towards Jiang villa.
Lihua clasped her hands together as the car sped. Her heart was beating in worry and alarm. She couldn't shake off the ominous feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Lu Bojing anxiously said, "D-Don't worry. It isn't good for your health."
She took a breath and slowly nodded. "Yes…"
Suddenly, the car came to an abrupt stop. Lihua asked, "What's wrong? Why did you stop?"
"I-I don't know! The black car suddenly braked in front of me."
"Huh? Black car?"
At first, there was a single black car in front of them. But then in the blink of an eye, another car appeared behind the cab, blocking their path.
She froze.
What is going on?
