Chapter 30 - The Mafia King's Awakening - Anger (5)
At present, Wei had no words to say to her. She bet her life on a small board game that was based on luck.
"You…"
Wei wanted to say a lot of things to her, but for the first to he fell short of words.
Lihua praised herself. "See? I am so talented, am I not?"
Fu Renshu sneered. "Did your small brain bother to think what would happen if you lost?"
Lihua said, "My motto is to think of only one step at a time!"
"Sure, why not? Otherwise, your tiny brain will explode, wouldn't it?"
"..."
Assistant Fu's jabs never fail to miss their mark.
"Boss, why don't you play too? It is super fun!"
Fu Renshu gnashed his teeth. "Song Lihua! As if the Boss would play some children's game with you!"
Wei innocently said, "I don't know how to."
Fu Renshu - "..."
Lihua was aghast. "Boss, you don't know how to play Ludo?"
"No."
"You never played Ludo when you were a child?"
Wei blankly looked at her. He couldn't understand her source of shock.
Childhood…
His gaze felt a little distant. The only things he played with at that age were guns and knives. The training for being the Mafia King had already started when he was three. There was no question of mingling with other kids or playing normal games.
Suddenly, Lihua realized she might have stepped on a sore spot. He had difficulty in understanding emotions and it could be very well linked to his childhood.
Idiot Lihua. How could you be so insensitive?
Lihua grabbed his arm and made him sit beside her. "Don't worry Boss! I will teach you! It's super easy."
The eager and excited expression on her beautiful face softened his gaze. Chang Fang and the others could only watch the duo lost amidst the imaginary blooming flowers.
Lihua said, "Let's play again!"
Chang Fang was horrified.
How can I dare play with the Mafia King? Just who is this woman who is so casually grabbing him to play?
He gulped and sweated. "That Bo-"
Wei shot a deadly glare towards him again, making him sob.
He isn't letting me talk at all!
Though Wei only wanted to stop him from calling him as Boss in front of Lihua.
Lihua explained to him the game.
Wei nodded. "Okay."
Fu Renshu wanted to strangle Lihua. Lihua felt the killing intent from behind her back. But she chose to ignore it.
Chang Fang was trembling hard. "H-How can I play?"
Wei frowned at him. "You don't want to play with me?"
To the poor leader Chang Fang, it sounded like a blatant threat.
You don't want to play with me, the Mafia King? You dare?
"O-of course I would…"
The three started playing Ludo with only Wei and Lihua seem to be enjoying the game. Chang Fang was praying hard that he shouldn't accidentally win the game against Wei.
More than playing the game, Wei was enjoying his observation of seeing Lihua play with vigor. Her little excited expressions and the gleam in her eyes strangely spread warmth in his heart.
This feels...nice.
It felt as if he could spend this time with her forever…
"Oh Boss, you should take another piece out of the house for that six instead of moving the current one."
"Is that so?" He was completely focused on the game.
"Oh no no! You should move that piece."
"Wait. This move will make you reach faster to the goal."
A few minutes later...
"Yay! I won again!" Lihua raised her hands in excitement.
"En."
He didn't feel much affected by his loss. Instead, he was more satisfied to see her happy.
Chang Fang thought he might order him to kill her off for the loss, but once again, he was shocked. The Mafia King was curiously and ever so e smiling at her.
Is this Mafia King's doppelganger?
Lang Min was pathetically lying at one side, completely out of the picture.
Wei said, "How much money you won?"
She widened her eyes. "Oh no no! I didn't play this game with you for money. This is for fun. Boss, did you enjoy it?"
She eagerly awaited. After all, she had promised to help him discover his emotions. And that would start by doing little things like playing a game and having fun.
Wei stared at her. "I want to play with you again," he tilted his head.
She clapped her hands once. "Sure! Anytime!"
Success! Boss seems happy than his usual expression before.
Fu Renshu glowered. "Song Lihuaaaaa…"
She jolted.
"Ah..haha..hahaha.." she nervously smiled, "I-I should head back home…"
His threatening presence was intimidating to another level now.
Wei nodded. "Renshu. Take her back to the car."
He narrowed his eyes at Lang Min and then at Chang Fang.
"Yes, Boss."
Lihua said, "Ah Boss, don't punish the leader please!"
Chang Fang was dumbfounded.
Ah? Why is she is taking my side who kidnapped her?
"After all, he wasn't that unreasonable. He promised to let me go if I won, and he was going to do that. I am not mad at him."
Wei raised his brow in amusement.
She always acts so differently…
Any other person wouldn't have said that after going through a freaking kidnapping incident.
Chang Fang almost wanted to hug her for her generosity, but of course, he refrained. He didn't want to incur the Mafia King's wrath.
I will never forget this debt! He sobbed in happiness.
"If you say so. But I have another thing to deal with too."
Fu Renshu roughly pushed her forward. "Now, now, stop bothering Boss and move forward already!"
Lihua grumbled. "I-I am…"
But suddenly out of nowhere, Wei straightened up in attention and grabbed Lihua. He hugged her and leaped to the side, just dodging the bullet shot in time.
A gang of men invaded Chang Fang's base and pointed their guns at them.
"Nobody will move or we will shoot everybody right away! Hand over Lang Min to us!"
Lang Min was excited. "Ah, you finally came to save me! Help me out of here!"
They were a gang he had hired to finish Chang Fang's men and take him away.
Chang Fang's men had also guns with them, but they were not in the position to shoot. If they moved even an inch, the other gang would start a bloodbath.
Chang Fang turned cold and so did Fu Renshu.
He smiled dangerously. "You have some death wish, pointing your guns at us."
"Shut it or I will kill you. Hand over Lang Min right now!"
"Yes kill them! Kill them all! Bloody bastards beat me into a pulp."
