Chapter 159 - The Losing Game (2/2)

Meanwhile, Sean walked over to Amelie and Alexander and explained to them what his silly fiancee had said.

As soon as Amelie heard the translation, she burst into laughter.

Natalie glanced at the woman in confusion.

”Did you team up with Emma to kill my daughter?” Father Feng mumbled in disbelief. What had his daughter done to deserve this?

When Halia heard this, she gently nudged Natalie away and walked back over to Jackson's side with an amused smile. She then looked at the man lovingly as he wrapped an arm around her waist.

Stretching out his other arm, he continued what he was saying earlier, ”Mr. Feng, I am Jackson Wu, Head of Interpol for the Hong Kong region. I am the officer in command for this case.”

Father Feng and Natalie were dumbfounded.

Head of Interpol? Officer in command?

”Wh-What's going on?” Natalie stuttered.

Sean walked over to his fiancee and placed an arm around her shoulder, ”Jackson was undercover when we first met him in Beijing. At that time, Halia and I were sent to investigate him. But, we recently discovered that he has actually been undercover in gangs all around China and France for the last 12 years! As a reward for his hard work, he was recently promoted to the head of Interpol for the Hong Kong region. He's currently here in Macau because someone tried to kill him in France and he traced it back to a friend or family in Hong Kong. We suspect the instigator has connections to a corrupt police officer and the two of them may also be involved with the death of Jackson's mother 12 years ago. We're not sure if today's incident has any connection to Jackson's investigation, but when we went to save Halia today, we discovered Mrs. Wu planned a fake kidnapping to kill Halia without suspicion and an officer is involved in covering it up. So, we decided to play along and lure out the officer.”

”Why would Emma try to kill Halia, it doesn't make sense,” Father Feng shook his head. ”I thought she really liked you. She even wanted you to marry her son...”

Father Feng suddenly paused and looked at Jackson's arm around his daughter's waist. ”Did you reject Emerson because of him?” he asked his daughter as he pointed to the man next to her.

Halia glanced shyly at Jackson and nodded her head, ”Dad, I want you to officially meet my boyfriend.”

Father Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had rejected Emerson to be with his older brother. If the Wu Family were to find out...

Suddenly, his eyes opened wide in realization as he looked at his daughter. When Halia saw the look in her father's eyes, she realized what he was thinking. ”Could it be?” he asked. ”Do you think she found out?”

”Would she really kill me over something like that?” Halia asked.

Jackson furrowed his brows. ”She would...if she hated me and my mother...”

The pieces of the puzzle were starting to fall together and everything began to make sense. If Mother Wu hated Jackson and his mother, then there was a huge possibility that she was the one that instigated for them to be killed. And when Jackson survived and returned to Hong Kong, she must have been furious to discover that the woman her precious son loved, was actually in love with the person she wanted to kill.

It was like fate was playing a game with her; a game that Jackson was going to make sure that she'd lose...
