My Husband Is The Emperor: I Woke Up With A Husband - Volume 1 Chapter 453 434

With the car that had stopped, Li Lian narrowed her eyes, she looked around, finding that the road was empty and with the sudden stop of the car, Li Jun Wei’s bodyguard was at strain. The bodyguards left their car, surrounding Akasaka Haruhi at a gun point.

Haruhi looked around, hearing one of the bodyguard warning him, “Raise your hand!” They all had been notified previously about the dangerous man being side with the Yakuzas. One wrong step could cost them their life which why the bodyguards were on their toes now.

“Calm down,” Haruhi smiled, knowing the intensity of the situation amongst the bodyguard who he saw was on their edge, in fear. Raising his hand up, he shrugged his shoulders, “See no gun, no knife. I was just wondering where did you all have the permission to have the gum through legalize means? I have always use the illegal way which why the ‘normal’ way confuse me.” Haruhi raised his hand and put his two gesture for emphasis.

“I don’t think you would like to speak here,” came Li Jun Wei’s voice as he opened the window car.

Haruhi’s eyes fell on the man, then on Li Lian who watched him with her skeptical look. The man said, “I would be happy if we could talk in a better place, like in a cafe, maybe?”

“Okay,” Li Lian gave him her words. During the past few weeks, it was hard to trace Haruhi’s mind, to guess what he was thinking and to find a way to counter his plan. One thing she was sure, the man who was sent to her and the person who worked with Xie Hue Lin wasn’t the man but someone else because if he was the one who tried to kill her, it will instead jeopardize the plan he created in Japan where he needs to marry her. “But you can ride your own car, we don’t have space.”

“I do not want to get in between you two either. My contract aside, I like seeing lovely couples like you two. I will follow after yo two,” Haruhi then curtsy by bowing and walk to leave the place to ride his car.

“Pretender psychopath,” murmured Li Lian under her breaths while watching the curled smile of Haruhi’s. As the car window closed, she looked at Li Jun Wei, “Continuing from earlier, I think that someone other than Hue Lin has that video of me and used it today. I would like to think that this person gained the video from Hue Lin and exposed it to the internet out of resentment for me.”

“Or that person might be the one who lend Hue Lin a hand on her plan to kill you,” Li Jun Wei added another possibility, saving Li Lian’s breath from explaining.

“I believe the second is closest to the truth. Hue Lin isn’t smart but I doubt she would present the video to others. If there is anything she fear the most in this world is to lose her image of a good and kind girl,” Li Lian said, leaving the only answer to be the second one. “And Haruhi might know who this person is,” her eyes then moved to her husband, “Aren’t you aware of this already? That is why you agreed with his request.”

Li Jun Wei smiled, happy that she could guess his mind before he needed to expose it, “I don’t see the need to talk with him if it isn’t for this. But we have to be careful. He is sly.” Li Lian took his warning with a solemn nod. She could see that from Haruhi’s countenance. But something caught in her mind when she heard his voice earlier.

“I find it a little strange,” Li Lian spoke, having Li Jun Wei to stare at her with an inquiry, “Haruhi’s voice…”

“Was it familiar?” Li Jun Wei asked for Li Lian to shake her head. Knot form on her forehead as she tried to figure out what she caught as she hadn’t thoroughly process it.

“I feel like his voice is similar to a woman’s. Maybe… it was all in my head? How did he sounds to you?” Li Lian asked, wanting a confirmation to what she had found.

“He sounds normal to me,” Li Jun Wei answered but he didn’t dismiss what Li Lian had catch, “I will ask Zhuang Xuan to find out something more about him. We might be able to find some holes on his background and what he is having in his mind.” From what Li Jun Wei had seen, Haruhi didn’t seem like he was in a hurry even though he needed to marry Li Lian for his plan to work.

There was an interval of one year due to Li Lian’s coma after he had proposed the plan, enough time for him to find Li Lian and use whatever means he wanted to marry her if he had set in mind in doing so, but the man didn’t. He wasn’t waiting for the right time, he was busy. Unlike him, Haruhi wasn’t a businessman, he wouldn’t be busy due to his work or company. It circulated around the Yakuzas. Knowing that make it even easier for Li Jun Wei to sense what was wrong here.

The morning had turned to afternoon by the time they arrived at the cafe. True to his words which was uncanny to Li Lian, Haruhi didn’t bring anyone with him, he appeared alone despite the danger where Li Jun Wei could kill him. Li Lian could only guess the reason why he was fearless, was because he knew Li Jun Wei won’t be able to kill him under the clear sky with many spectators; or that man was batshit crazy, who didn’t care if he would die if he could enjoy the moment of being high from amus.e.m.e.nt and thrill.

“Seems like you two had a little talk together after I went,” said Haruhi, casually sipping to his tea.

Li Lian stared at the man, “I believe this is our first time meeting each other.”

“You are wrong there, Mrs. Li,” Haruhi interrupted, placing the cup down, his eyes moved to look straight into her eyes, “We have met before, quite a long time ago,” and his eyes fall on his right hands where Li Lian caught the mark of straight and curved wound covering his entire arm, almost similar to what Li Jun Wei had but different in a sense, “It was a very traumatic event to one of us, but I guess you don’t remember… or you do?”
