Chapter 183 - Beginning of an End (1/2)
Lena took a shower and knocked out after she got home. She did not even bother to eat dinner, and that was unlikely of her. However, she was just not feeling the appetite to eat.
She woked up to another good morning text from Kris but did not reply. Lena has been ignoring him for a full 24 hours now... he should be missing her right? Lena talked nonstop with him for his trip and then ignored him so he would feel something. People say you don't know what you have until it's gone.
Today, it was the beginning of an end for Madam Yang. Lena did not get out of her bed and instead turned on the morning news. As planned, Mayor Bai was arrested early in the morning. The news continues to replay the car chase the police did to catch Mayor Bai and the police dragging him to the station in handcuffs.
”Mayor Bai, is it true that you are going to get charge for attempted murder?”
”Mayor Bai, is it true that you have been stealing from the people? What do you have to say about that?”
”Are you cheating on your wife, sir!?”
”Will this affect your brother who is going to run for president?”
”Will the people get compensated for your scams?!”
The reporters also scoped out the house of the other Bai family, wanting a statement from them. Bai Wei came out with a public announcement that the Bai family has nothing to do with the criminal charges of Bai Wentao. And as a real politician, he believes in the justice system and his brother should be punished with for his crimes.
”For the security of the public, I am also allowing the government to fully investigate me and my team for any corruptions within my office. I can guarantee to the people, that I am not brother.” Bi Wei spoke. He asked the reporters to respect his family since his children were still young.
Lena turned off the television and went to get ready for the day. She still had to go to work as normal and then she was going to go check up a Gary at his new place.
She went to work later than usual and both Noah and James are with her today. Because everything was going on about and get exposed, it was good to have extra security with Lena until it was all over.
No one told Lena what happened with Eva after she left.
She knew that Gary was hiding something from her but she was not much concerned about it. Everyone has their own secrets. As long as those are things that will no damage a relationship or is made to protect someone.
Lena knew that when the time comes, she will know about it.
There are some things you should just not dig too deep in about. Lena knowing so much about Madam Yang already made her life far riskier than she had expected. After this was all over, it was time for her to settle down, not battle more wars.
By the afternoon, Mayor Bai was out on bail until his trial the next day. Rumors leaked out that an influential person will be testifying against Mayor Bai for his attempted murder charges.
After working hours, Lena and her bodyguards drove to Gary's new place. They helped him clean and set up his furniture. Gary's new place was near the land that he had asked from Andy. Lena asked him what he wanted that for but he just smiled and say ”You'll see.”
Kris has been spamming Lena with texts today but she had not once replied back to him. It was after working hours so Kris was in his private underground work area.
Collin looked at Kris, who was more focused on his phone rather than Keso's report on Eva. Keso said that he already has the excuse made for Eva is missing. Andy will cancel the engagement soon and Eva would leave the country due to cancellation.
Keso looked at Collin after he finished his report. ”Um.. Kris?”
”Yes, yes. Very good.” Kris still looking at his phone.
”Hugh requesting a visit.” Keso asked. Hugh was the one friend that Kris saw the least. Because of their special relationship, it must be that way. They were not supposed to see each other unless of emergencies.
”Yes.” Kris replied... even without registering the statement.
Keso glanced at Collin a shrugged. ”Miss. Shen is here!” Keso lied.
