To Love You Again - zChapter 750

….

It had been two days since the police turned over the LJ Club. Many members were caught in the act while playing with drugs. They were arrested and the investigation further deepened.

Many of the club members were supporting Ming Zhi Yi in his frontal attack against the four families. Thus, this problem has greatly affected Ming Zhi Yi’s strength in the economic war.

….

Lu Jin’s footsteps were calm as he approached Ming Zhi Yi’s office.

Mr. Kang, his loyal subordinate, met him midway and stopped him by the door.

“Young Master…”

Lu Jin glanced at Mr. Kang’s worried expression. “It’s alright.”

He then pushed the door. A heavy atmosphere immediately greeted him.

Ming Zhi Yi was seated on his luxurious chair with his head supported by his hand.

His usual languid expression was gone. At the moment, his face was devoid of any emotion.

Lu Jin bowed. “Father, you called for me.”

“Take a seat.’

Lu Jin followed what his father instructed and sat down peacefully.

Ming Zhi Yi watched him carefully. His eyes were like that of a snake observing a mouse.

“For two days, what have you done? Why haven’t you buried the matter with the police yet?” Ming Zhi Yi’s voice was eerily calm.

“The situation did not allow me to. I pacified the members first and made sure that the transfer of the products and the files was safely done.”

“While doing so, you lost three branches and the rest were seized. Do you think that is considered a proper job?”

Lu Jin bowed his head. “I apologize.”

Ming Zhi Yi narrowed his eyes. “You are doing quite a sloppy job lately. Why have you not found the spies yet?”

“There are many people related to this matter. It will take a long time to find them.”

“Then just kill them all. They are all tools anyway.”

Lu Jin was silent. He then spoke. “But if we kill them all, we will lose all of our dealers.”

“It doesn’t matter. We can find new people again. The world is filled with many people like them. I want you to end the investigation with LJ, quickly.”

Lu Jin lowered his eyes. “Yes, father.”

Silence fell.

Ming Zhi Yi observed his son’s expression carefully. He then slowly said, “I have not yet received any news from our underground organization. I sent new people to investigate. Have you heard any news from Ifel yet?”

“I did not receive any.”

Ming Zhi Yi’s eyes were cold. “This is odd. The matter from the underworld suddenly quietened down and I couldn’t contact my people. What do you think happened?”

Lu Jin looked up. He met his father’s eyes.

For a moment, he could feel his father’s subtle killing intent.

Lu Jin: “Perhaps… They are still fighting with the opposing faction. Do you want me to go there?”

Ming Zhi Yi was silent. He then waved his hand. “No. Just focus on the LJ Club. Once my men have the results, I will learn it from them. You can leave now.”

Lu Jin bowed and stood up.

Before he left, Ming Zhi Yi spoke again softly.

“My son, do you know what I hate the most?”

Lu Jin stopped on his steps, but did not answer.

“Betrayal. The people who betray me are looking down on me. Treating me like a fool and pretentiously staying on my side just to get something out of me. I truly, hate, it.”

“…”

“I will not only kill the spies. I will make sure that I will crush them and let them watch their loved ones get killed in the most brutal way. Did you hear me, my dear son?”

Lu Jin turned around. His eyes were alienated and indifferent. “I will make sure to keep that in mind until I find the spies, father.”

Ming Zhi Yi nodded. “Do so.”

After Lu Jin left, Ming Zhi Yi looked down at the table where his chess pieces were laid out.

The situation was too odd.

First the underground organization he painstakingly built-up was attacked, then the LJ Club got seized by the police.

It was done in a manner that made it look like it was only a coincidence. But if he thought more carefully, the results of these two situations pointed to him being greatly weakened.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands was weaving these situations to fall onto his disadvantages.

If it was another time, dealing with this matter might be troublesome, but at least bearable. However, now that he was focusing his mind on the four families and was using his carefully built power for this fight, this sudden interruption would play a bigger role in pushing him to his defeat.

Ming Zhi Yi tapped the table.

If his ȧssumption was correct that there was someone targeting him discreetly while he was busy with the four families, then it was likely that there was a spy hiding around him.

Not only was it a simple spy, it was a high ranking one at that.

Ming Zhi Yi’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

Only one person could fit into that role.

Ming Zhi YI called one of his most loyal subordinates.

“Investigate the LJ Club. Find the spies yourself. Do not let my son know.”

…

In the Xiong mansion, Xiong Zhi was having breakfast while listening to her subordinates’ reports.

LJ Club matters were her focal point right now. She was looking for the place where Lu Jin and Ming Zhi Yi’s men had hidden their traces. The police already found significant evidence inside the club. But those are not the ones she was looking for. If she found that place where all the information and the drugs were hidden, then she could end the LJ club completely.

Not only that, but those high class members would be impacted with this matter and would turn their backs on Ming Zhi Yi completely.

“Young heiress, we lost contact with our dealers. I think they were looking for the spy.” A man she sent in through the help of Tang Yin and William was currently reporting to her through the phone.

“They are now looking for the spies. You have to stay low for a while. Do not be so desperate to contact them.”

“Yes, young heiress.”

After ending the call, an incoming call came. It was only a series of numbers that were unfamiliar.

Xiong Zhi frowned. The phone she was using right now was upgraded by Gu Zhen and Shinichi Tanaka. It was a traceless phone that erased all data after use.

This number could not only be contacted if the other line put a code before the number. And Xiong Zhi only gave the code to a few people.

And they all called on an appointed time unless it was urgent. Despite being confused she answered the call.

“XX District four in City L.” An emotionless voice spoke.

Xiong Zhi blinked. The voice was familiar. “What is this for?”

“The place where we hid the club’s traces.”

!!!

Xiong Zhi was stunned. “Lu–”

Toot.

Xiong Zhi: “…”

The man ended a call after saying two sentences.

Xiong Zhi recovered from her shock and searched the address that Lu Jin had given to her.

She called her people again. “Investigate this place. Don’t get caught.”
