199 The Reality Behind the Leis (1/2)
He Zheng pointed to his belly, ”The belly button piercing.”
Li Yuan brows shot up in surprise, he had slept with her twice or thrice, in literal meaning at least! But... Yes, he remembered feeling something, he had brushed it off as stonework on her dress.
It was a relief that. Till now he was clinging to a hope birthed by a possibility that she was out there somewhere but hearing it being confirmed gave his erratic heart aid, but not to get his hopes too high, he asked, ”And maybe it means that she had gone into hiding or maybe the piercing is somewhere warm.”
He Zheng shook his head seriously, ”The piercing can only be removed by a key. Lei Xinyi had one and I had a duplicate. I went to her condominium some days ago. Her key was still there in her safe so there was no way she or anybody could have removed it and if it was ripped or removed with force it would have exploded but it's still active...”
”You F*cking have a ticking time bomb on her body?!” Li Yuan stood up alerting Venessa and halting He Zheng in his speech, his eyes were ablaze and the room suffocatingly got closed off on He Zheng.
He sunk deeper in the seat and turned pale, ”I...I didn't! She asked me to if I wouldn't do it she would ask anybody else to!” He saw Li Yuan running his hand in his hair in frustration but he knew it was better if he explained the whole thing at once, ”At least I was sure that nobody else will harm her! But that is not the main problem, she is abducted I am sure of it or she would have informed us and she has her ways.”
Li Yuan had a strong urge to first strangle He Zheng then strangle her the moment her eyes landed on him. What was she even thinking or was she thinking at all?!
As if other problems weren't enough now he also had to bang his head against this lastest problem that she may just explode somewhere!
Then a thing caught his attention and he stopped pacing, ”Lei Xinyi has a condominium here?” If she really did, there was sure to be a clue or lead there.
He Zheng snorted and Venessa threateningly purred. He who was already sunk in the sofa dived in deeper, ”Don't even think of trespassing,” Li Yuan narrowed his eyes but He Zheng hurriedly explained, ”I am saying it for your own good! Lei Xinyi hates it when people touch her things, Besides, the place is an autopilot killing machine.”
Li Yuan took a step forward in the boy direction who was trying to become one with the sofa, ”If I was to dispose of you, even your bones wouldn't be found. Aren't you scared, boy?”
”Perhaps, I am.” He drawled, ”But if anything was to happen to me Ren wouldn't ever let that go and something tells me it would matter to you.” He Zheng winked with a cheeky unsure smirk.
He put his phone out of his pocket and showed it to him, ”In precaution, I have taken a selfie outside of your Mansion and sent on Lei Xinyi's personal number. She will check it the first thing when she gets out of where-ever she is.”
Li Yuan nodded amused by the boy's wits, and smirked, ”You are cunning and smart beyond your years. Makes me wonder, who your parents are?”
He really was curious. The boy was trained in Martial Arts and that required a healthy suitable body from birth and even had an ingenious knowledge of computers. He obviously wasn't Lei Xinyi's biological brother. His aristocratic manly features at such a young age showed he was well-bred and from a good background. Then the 'He' surname...
At once at the mention of his parents, He Zheng face became devoid of emotion, ”I don't remember having any.” At once Li Yuan saw the cunning mask lace on his smile and a glint in his eyes shone, ”Ren brought me up since I was a kid.”
The Boy was closed off and clever. It was better to solve him later. Li Yuan had his doubts that the young man must be from the He Family.
”So what is your plan?”
He Zheng took out a USB from his pocket and placed it on the table, ”We look into the suspects. I thought they said you had the best men power and tech out there, it is time to strain them, no?”
Li Yaun held the USB and looked at him with furrowed brows, ignoring his comment ”Suspects?” There weren't many people that you could say she was against, every fight for her was on petty whims, ”Who is this we are talking about?”
”The one with a purpose” He Zheng offered, ”The Lei's Heirs. The Game Of Heirs have begun and she is the queen in the game of pawns!”
