194 She Is Home And Family (2/2)
”That's none of your business, just your part of the deal.” Lu Sheng gave the Laptop and turned to leave.
He Zheng eyes sparkled as a thought strikes him like thunder, ”Is it about your sister?”
Lu Sheng stiffened then went away without replying.
He Zheng was about to follow him to extract some information when his untraceable phone rang. He looked at the caller and left the Lu Mansion in a hurry.
He could feel his wits leaving him in anticipation, he was like walking on the air as he ran past houses after houses.
In a considerable distance in an empty alley, he called back on the same number. The phone ringed twice before the call was cut from the other side.
He Zheng leaned against the wall and waited.
A man with a long black coat entered and extended his hand in front of He Zheng.
Not much could be seen of his face from the big collars of his long coat and the hat that accompanied it, but only a fine sharp tanned jaw and a pair of hazel orbs.
He Zheng eyes hardened and he scoffed, ”You are not getting anything before you give what I came here for, Dear Uncle!”
”Very Well, Nephew!” The man leaned against the opposite wall and sighed ”I was drunk with my lover. When she called I was in his hotel room.”
”You didn't think of informing me then?” He Zheng stood up straight in alarm and his face reddened in fury, ”And you were comfortable talking some classified information with him in the room?! You are unbelievable!”
The man fisted his hands and bristled, ”He is your uncle-in-law so hold your juvenile tongue, you brat!” He shrugged in annoyance, ”And apart from that, he was out cold.”
He Zheng snorted, ”No, first off he is some foreign ass you are hooking up with!” He Jin gave him a dirty look then rolled his eyes knowing his nephew words held volume, ”How many are we against?”
He Jin smugly raised his six fingers, ”Yu Youhan, Master Lu, Old Master Li, Lu Sheng, Yu Wang and the Li Yuan. They are all looking for Lei Xinyi but of course, The King of the Underworld, the Li's heir is leading the chase. He is got more resources above and under the table and then he seems to have taken a particular liking to your slu...I mean, beautiful sister. He almost seems desperate.”
He Zheng nodes and looked at the sky in thought. Then he sharply turned to his Uncle when a thought struck him, ”The Lei's haven't sent a search party in China?”
He Jin shook his head seriously, ”Not a bird's feather. It's all clear. It seems the Lei's Patriarch finally lost interest in her or...”
”They have her. Or in other words, a Lei's heir they have chosen to their dirty work is holding Lei Xinyi captive.” He Zheng completed for him. He Jin nodded in agreement.
He Zheng considered all the options above. Each one above had their own reasons to look for her but Li Yuan was the most powerful and influential without discrimination.
There was no way he could find Lei Xinyi against the whole Lei clan but Li Yuan could. He was a match and maybe even above them but the problem was, Li Yuan was like a trump card, neutral.
The war was going on where he was staying. He Zheng just need to lead him there and he will have Lei Xinyi and then Lei Xinyi will deal with Li Yuan on her own.
Perfect!
He Zheng took out the USB with the data of all the shipment records for the last three decades and handed it to He Jian and was about to leave when He Jin held his wrist.
He Zheng turned to him with a raised brow in question.
He Jin tiredly sighed, ”The time for the war is nearing. End this madness. Let's go home...Lei Xinyi would want you to be in a safe zone when the chaos breaks loose and... everyone at home misses you.”
He Zheng heart turned cold at the word home, he tugged his wrist away, ”Home...” He shook his head with a humourless dry chuckle, ”She is home and family. It's my war too till when Lei Xinyi will fight it alone?”
