Chapter 354: Wrong person to mess with

So you better put up a good fight, Spicy.

You have to show them what your side of law and justice looks like.

Jia laid back on her bed, staring at the ceiling with a smile. Mingshen had suggested they spend the night at the lab, but she practically dragged him back to the apartment complex.

Wait, why did I have to drag him back? It is his lab. I could have returned by myself.

But she shrugged and let go of that thought. She turned on her side and stretched her arms with yet another smile on her lips. It was as if the heaviness gripping her body before had dissipated into thin air.

Jia was angry and frustrated. Ever since learning how Si Yu and Lingyun suffered and how horribly the system failed them, she had no idea what she was supposed to do. The anger was eating her up from within.

But fighting with Mingshen helped her vent out that steam of restlessness. That pent up anxiety got a means to escape as she matched moves with Mingshen’s. His bitter words only proved to stoke her heart with resilience.

It was supposed to be a friendly match but was I too harsh and violent? She wondered.

She let out a chuckle.

That masochist devil probably wouldn’t mind it anyway.

"Ah I thought I would go crazy..." she muttered.

The revelations almost caused her a serious heartburn if not for Mingshen’s company.

Though he was only interested in eating the cotton candy...

Jia shook her head and rose, opening her bedside drawer. She paused for a moment and slowly took out the medicine strips. Mingshen’s prescription was below it which he had left the last time.

The medicines helped to ease her anxiety and with sleep. She was about to pop one pill open when she stopped. For some reason, she didn’t feel the need to take one today.

Yes, the case had turned out to be more complicated and with Nuwa’s investigation, she had no idea how more jumbled up it would become.

I think I will be okay...

Your handsome husband is right beside you~ My shiny scalpel would be right through their throats before they even begin to think about being naughty towards you.

Jia suddenly choked.

N-Not that I am relying on his help...and second of all, he is not my husband. When will he stop calling himself that?

She exhaled a breath and placed the strip and prescription back in the drawer. Her heart strangely felt at ease even though she was looking at a mountain of work the next day. Her tired muscles loosened themselves and her drowsy eyelids gently closed.

—

"Are you serious?"

Yang Bingqing asked with a grave countenance, her eyelids refusing to blink.

"200%."

The Zhuo family...?

"Yes."

"You are saying that some man from that family - or the Hou family’s - secretly look for women?"

"That’s what the thug heard."

Yang Bingqing let out a long breath.

"But Boss I don’t understand. These political families don’t have anything to do with our gang. Never had. So why would they be running this cult under them?"

Xie Zi Han downed a glass of wine on his side as he gave an update. Hearing no response, he checked if Yang Bingqing was still on the line.

"Boss?"

Her stupor faltered and she stepped back into reality. "Ah? Ah yes...The cult."

He frowned. "Are you okay, Boss? You seem lost. Do you...happen to know anything about this?"

Yang Bingqing quickly cleared her throat. "No. Not really. I mean at one point, Cheng used to go to the Hou family’s mansion."

"Oh. He did?"

"Yeah. Hou Jielun was his patient."

"Who is that?"

"Hou Huan and Hou Guangxi’s son?"

"No clue."

She facepalmed. "You were always so unaware of the things around you...Okay, so you should at least know Hou Tengqi, right? The one who Mingshen’s assistant, Bai Yingtai attacked at the charity event?"

"Oohhh yes! I know that one," he nodded. "Mulan was also at the charity event that night. She told me about the mess."

"Finally! So Jielun is his younger brother. The youngest son of the Hou family."

"Ah...so he used to visit their mansion. Wait, so I mean he would know some juicy details about them, right? Maybe he learned something about She when he was there."

Yang Bingqing frowned.

"I don’t think so. He never told me anything about She through the Hou family members."

"A bummer. You said he used to treat Hou Jielun, right? So does he still do the visits?"

"No. He stopped that years ago. Twelve-thirteen years ago, I guess? I don’t know why. Cheng just suddenly came one day in a very bad mood."

"Bad mood?" He blinked.

"Yeah, like super bad! He was crazy angry. I had never seen him so furious before. It wasn’t like he was shouting or anything but his eyes were...terrifying."

"He was that angry? Strange..."

"I know right?"

"But what made him so angry? He is generally a peace-loving man through and through."

"I don’t know. He never told me. He only said that he will never step foot in the House mansion again and that we will have nothing to do with them ever. I kept bugging him for details but he didn’t even utter a syllable," she pouted.

"Yeah that’s impossible once he makes up his mind," he snorted. "I seriously wonder what happened though..."

He continued. "What do you want me to do, Boss?"

Yang Bingqing remained silent for a few long seconds, fidgeting with the pendant around her neck.

"Keep digging. We cannot stop here. I don’t care who has anything to do with my gang but She was mine. Like hell I would let any branches and twigs be lying around tarnishing the original tree."

"They are huge political families."

"Oh, so you know that," she scoffed. "And so what? Should we hand them our gang on a plate?"

She then sneered. "First of all, they are messing with a very wrong person and second of all, I am also a Yang now so they better be extra careful. Mingshen is always glad to have new test subjects."

His brow twitched heavily.

"Now that you mentioned him, I remembered that he will be going to London soon, right?"
