Chapter 483 - PLAYING DIRTY (2/2)

”It is not a difficult problem.” Hu Lei said.

Akira looked up with blazing eyes. ”Do you have a solution?”

Hu Lei chuckled. ”Ah-Feng was right. Your thinking is a little too straightforward. When you are fighting for your life, you cannot only think about the white channels. You need to play dirty or you will be swallowed up.”

”What do you suggest?” Akira asked.

”You just need to figure out what the other party truly wants and find a way to offer it to them. Judging from the explanation Ah-Feng gave me about the Watch app, this person is probably looking to pool funding to build a small criminal empire.” Hu Lei said.

”So, I should find a reliable method to offer them what they want. When they think the end is in sight, I pounce.” Akira was enlightened.

”Exactly. Of course, you have to be careful. Most people involved in the underworld are extremely cautious. That's why Ah-Feng said that you need the right kind of identity and special verifications on certain websites.” Hu Lei warned.

”If you decide to lure the person in the dark, do not expose anything that could make them suspicious. Otherwise, you will become even more vulnerable.” She added.

”Are you finally ready to hear about the trip?” Hu Lei asked after a short moment with twinkling eyes.

Akira had been trying to avoid hearing about the trip, but she could not push it away forever. She needed to face the matter head-on, even though she had lost hope. At least, she could rest knowing that Kaito was safe for now.

”Ok. How did it go?” Her voice was softer than a squeak.

”I have two pieces of good news.” Hu Lei smiled. ”I don't know if you have heard it yet. The person who began this whole matter of the hunt on you is dead. Actually, the entire board of the International Health Alliance is dead.”

Akira's eyes widened. She had not been paying attention to the news. In the past two days, she had revolved between the library, the nursery and the bedroom. She did not spare a moment to other issues. She would even have forgotten to eat if not for Housekeeper Li.

”Did you do it?” She asked in an awed voice.

”Pfft!” Hu Lei laughed. ”I didn't even kill them when they were after me. I am an upright citizen. According to the news report, it was either a vigilante or hitman. Of course, the public has a theory that a government agency is behind it.”

”You know who did it.” Akira was certain.

”How could that be?” Hu Lei placed her hands on her cheeks in mock shock.

”What about Kaito?” Akira asked the main question.

Hu Lei smiled widely.

”You will have your Kaito back soon.”
