315 I Need Your Help (2/2)
”Big brother, it's me.”
”I know.” She could hear the smile in Lu Zihao's voice. ”Why are you still awake? Is it about the trouble you got yourself into with those tabloid pests? Dealing with them should be easy. Don't tell me you haven't solved it yet.”
”I did…well, not quite. Big Brother, I need your help.”
”Heh~ Let's hear it, then.”
She explained to him her concern about the tabloid publisher and the paparazzo having physical copies of the photos and the information about her, Little Jun and the others. She also told him about all the dirt she found about them.
”Oh? Blackmail material? Interesting but not surprising. Tabloids are usually filled with shady business like that,” Lu Zihao said.
When she told him that she already released the incriminating evidence of the tabloid's illegal activities online and even sent a copy to the police, he was clearly displeased by her decision. She understood his aversion to the police (she had it, too), but they were living different lives now. They should be learning how to live as responsible, law-abiding citizens as much as possible. (Well, except when it came to hacking for her.)
”So will you help me, Big Brother?” she asked him. ”But no need to hurt any of them, especially that paparazzo. I just need all the physical data to be destroyed.”
”No problem. I'll send several teams right away. There's still a lot of time before sunrise. It will be done before the workday starts.” he assured her.
She was relieved hearing his words. If her brother said that it would be done, it would certainly be done. ”Thank you.”
”Anything for my little sister.”
After a few seconds of silence…
”I want to see you,” she told him in a soft voice. ”The last time we saw each other was when we celebrated New Year with the Chua family.”
”I'm really busy right now, but I'll try to see you again sometime.”
”Can we celebrate Spring Festival together?” she asked.
”Hmm…” He didn't answer right away.
”Please, Big Brother.”
”Alright. I'll find time to celebrate with you.”
She instantly felt happy.
”Little sister?”
”Yes?”
He paused before asking her, ”If I ask you for help about something extremely difficult, would you help me?”
”Of course!” There was no hesitation in her answer. ”As long as it's within my abilities, I'll help you no matter how difficult it is. You're my brother. Is there anything you need help with?”
”I…” He sighed. ”No, I was just asking. Don't think about it too much. But I'm glad to hear your answer. Go to sleep now. You'll receive an update from me about the matter with the tabloid and the paparazzo when you wake up later.”
The brother and sister chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up. Iris returned to the bedroom suite. Her darling was already sleeping. After cleaning herself up, she snuggled close to Jin Liwei and fell asleep as well.
