Chapter 144 - Im Xiong Zhi (1/2)

Xiong Zhi arrived at the front of LG.

She was about to go out when Mr. Ji stopped her.

”Young Miss, are you sure you will be okay alone? This place is for a.d.u.l.ts.” Mr. Ji was a skilled driver. He was versed in cars as well. Looking at the cars that were parked, it was not an ordinary club. It was a high-end one. It was not for a teenager or for the people who were just there to party. Based on Mr. Ji 's experience. It was a place made for business deals. Legit or shady ones.

Xiong Zhi could not really identify it like Mr. Ji. She had never been to a club before. She thought that every club was the same. Crowded, loud, and chaotic.

”Don't worry. I contacted someone. I will just take a peek.”

”Let me accompany you, young miss.” Mr. Ji persuaded Xiong Zhi for a while. Xiong Zhi finally let him come.

Mr. Ji used his ID to parked underground.

As Xiong Zhi went out of the car, the elevator nearest to them opened and the two people she was looking for came out from it.

Gi Pieng and Lin Ruo were shocked when they saw Xiong Zhi. As they walked out, Gi Pieng was about to greet her when Lin Ruo hold his arm and pulled him towards their own car, ignoring Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi was taken aback. She was sure that they saw her. But she stay still and watched as they ride their own car.

'What happened?'

Xiong Zhi was suspicious. She knew that Lin Ruo purposely did that. She went back to her car and told Mr. Ji to follow Lin Ruo's car.

Lin Ruo was cursing inside. They made a mistake. A huge mistake. It seems that they discover something that they shouldn't have. The man behind Liu Fung was no doubt powerful. To be able to found their identity in less than five hours was terrifying. The boss of Liu Fung surely must be powerful than their own boss, Xiong Zhi. So right now, it was alright to just trace it back to SHM. Lin Ruo doesn't want Xiong Zhi, their boss, to be implicated.

So when they were in the underground parking earlier he deliberately ignored her. There are cameras in the parking lot. He was afraid that the phone that they confiscated and their car were tapped. So he whispers to Gi Pieng to went directly to SHM. Since they were already discovered, SHM was the safest home for them. His boss, Xiong Zhi would surely get his hint that they were discovered.

When Liu Fung returned earlier to the room, he did not waste any time to interrogate them. He just told them he wished to not meet them again. And let them go.

This made Lin Ruo uneasy. Liu Fung was pressing them for their purpose earlier, then he just came back as if he was not bothered? This was really suspicious. His gut was telling him that whoever they are, they are watching them. They really need to be careful to not let it trace back to Xiong Zhi.

Lin Ruo and Gi Pieng arrived at SHM. They went directly to the office. They let their secretary called all the owners.

Mu Fian arrived late since he was the person that Xiong Zhi contacted to follow her in the LG club. But he received news halfway from her to go back to SHM.

The four owners sat in the meeting room. Mu Fian's tablet was on the table. It was Xiong Zhi on the other line.

”What happened?” Xiong Zhi asked. She was in the car.

”We are discovered. Two bodyguards suddenly forced me to a private room. Liu Fung seems to know I am investigating him.” Gi Pieng started.

”Liu Fung mentioned he has a boss. I think his boss is very influential. He managed to know our identity within five hours. They already traced it back to SHM.” Lin Ruo said with worry.

The two, Mu Fian and Xian Tao sucked in a deep breath. They are very well-versed in digging someone's information. They knew how much time it is needed for them to figure it out. If it was them, it might take a day or two.

”If that is the case, you are right. Liu Fung's boss is influential than me. But how come he has a boss?” Xiong Zhi asked.

Liu Fung's family was very wealthy. But not comparable to the legendary families. Their companies are doing good as well. With Liu Fung's position as the young master of the Liu family, the only boss he could have was his father and grandfather. But those people are not that threatening for Xiong Zhi. She could handle them.

But it looks like Liu Fung's boss was more influential and hold power than them.

'Is his boss is one of the legendary families? Or is he a foreigner?'

This was very tricky. They could not continue investigating more unless they want to provoke the beast behind Liu Fung.

”Never mind. Let's stop investigating him. We could not afford to have another problem to solve. Our only goal is to have a business deal. That's all.” Xiong Zhi reminded them.

”But boss, Liu Fung boss' is powerful. I'm afraid it might trace back to you. We should prepare for countermeasures.” Mu Fian suggested.

”You're right. But if he managed to find out your identity in a few hours I'm sure he will know IHZHI's connection to you. I think we don't have any way to prevent them. We should just face them causally. ”

Xiong Zhi said.

Xiong Zhi knew that she couldn't match that boss of Liu Fung. Her resources were limited as well as her people. Since she doesn't have that kind of power yet she might as well come clean and told them her aim. She was not even a bit interested in who their boss is. She must show the other party that they wouldn't cross the line.

Since she was facing a stronger opponent, it was time for her to step back and be the submissive one.

”I'll talk to Liu Fung directly. Gi Pieng and Lin Ruo you will come with me.” Xiong Zhi decided. It was not really a big deal if that 'boss' knew the existence of IHZHI or her relation to it. As long as it was not her enemy.

”Now?!” Lin Ruo and Gi Pieng were shocked. They just escaped death, now they were going to look for it?!

”Just trust me. It is better to come clean now rather than let them know it by themselves. At least they can see that we are not their enemy.”
