Wei froze at her question.

Lihua said, "Mo Huojin said that the Mafia King is hiding behind a CEO's cover. That means he is also a rich and influential person, right? Wouldn't you know the other CEOs? There might be some hidden company too that starts with J, but we might have failed to find it," she grumbled. "Maybe we can do something to help sis."

As if a knot twisted his stomach in pain, he felt extremely uncomfortable and anxious.

The Mafia King was sitting right in front of her. But how was he supposed to tell her? How can he tell her that all her efforts and worry for Song Jia were meaningless because she was already dead?

"I…"

Lihua finally noticed that he seemed a little different. She widened her eyes and got up. "Boss, what happened? You are sweating."

Wei raised his head and looked at her beautiful eyes. He always loved to stare at those black irises.

But today, he couldn't look into them.

"Lihua," he tightly held her palm as if she would disappear from his side right at this moment. His fingers intertwined against hers, wanting to feel the reassurance that she was still there.

Lihua got worried, hearing his meek voice. "Are you okay? Oh! Maybe you feel sick because you got wet in the rain last night?"

"No, I am fine…"

She put her hands on her waist. "You are not fine at all! You look so pale too. You are definitely sick. Don't worry. I will cook you some warm soup," she coughed. "I can cook soup now at the very least."

She quickly rushed into the kitchen while Wei stared at her retreating figure in a daze.

So close... Lihua was so close to finding out about me. So many things happened behind my back and I had no clue. That agent, Mo Huojin…

Wei placed his palm on his chest. He could clearly feel his heart thudding like crazy. The hair tingled on his skin, and he felt goosebumps crawl on them. He lowered his head and saw his hands shaking and trembling.

Lihua…

"Boss! I brought you some chicken soup," she brightly smiled. "I tasted it and I must say that I am proud of myself," her nose grew longer in pride.

"I am slowly conquering the treacherous path of cooking. Phew!" She acted dramatically and laughed.

Wei wanted to smile with her. He wanted to join in her happiness. But the truth didn't let him.

Lihua brought the spoon near his lips. "Taste it, Boss. You will definitely like it hoho~"

He dazedly opened his mouth and took the bite. Lihua eagerly asked, "How is it? How is it?"

Wei stared at her gleaming expression in a trance. "Delicious…"

Her heart bloomed in joy. "Yes! I knew it! I have been practicing quite hard. It finally paid off! Eat up. It's all yours. This is also my apology for making you sick. I got too excited," she sadly mumbled.

Apology…

"What do you think of the Mafia King?" Wei quietly asked.

Lihua was taken aback by the sudden question. She touched her chin and said, "Well...the Mafia King belongs to the Underworld, right? They do all sorts of bad things which is why sis is investigating him. Hmph! You shouldn't live your life by hurting other people. I definitely don't like the Mafia King!"

He trembled.

"Not just doing all sorts of illegal things, but he is also hiding as a CEO. He is fooling people too! I don't like people who lie and fool others. Who knows who many people he would have killed in his line of work? Plus, he is causing so much trouble to sis! When I got the letter, I was so scared for her. That person said that the Mafia King is a cruel and dangerous man. If he caught sis, he wouldn't leave her alive."

Wei blankly looked at her.

Tears stung her eyes, but she quickly wiped them. "My sis is my only family. If something happened to her, I will never forgive that Mafia King! I will chase him to the ends of the earth and punish him!"

Silence.

Lihua calmed down after her little emotional outburst. "I don't understand how can somebody be so heartless to kill someone? Human life is so precious. That's why I am proud of my sis. She is putting her life on the line to catch the Mafia King and end his cruelty."

Doesn't like the Mafia King. Cruel, heartless, dangerous…

He was everything that Lihua said. As he heard her answer, he felt empty in his heart.

A world where Lihua hated him was a world he was afraid of the most. This peace would soon crumble into pieces if she found out about him.

Maybe once, just for once, she might accept him as the Mafia King.

But how will she accept the Mafia King that killed her sister?

"Will you never stop thinking about your sister?" The question slipped out of his mouth before he knew it.

Lihua blinked her eyes. She chuckled and tapped his nose. "Why would I ever stop thinking about her? We are sisters. She loves me and I love her. I always think about her. Just like now. I was finally able to cook decent soup for the first time, and I wondered how sis would be so happy if she knew about my achievement! She would hug me so hard until I would faint from breathlessness haha. She is the one who taught me everything and despite us not having parents, she took care of me like one. I would be devastated if I lost her."

Wei said nothing. His gaze dimmed.

"... Soup."

"Hm?"

"More soup."

Lihua saw the bowl was already empty. "Oh. Wait, I will bring you seconds. Hoho, good job Lihua. Somebody wants to have seconds of your food!" She merrily chirped and went back to the kitchen.

With an unreadable expression, Wei picked his phone and dialed a number.

A lazy voice came from the other side as it laughed. "Ah, the Mafia King is finally here! After running away from his own engagement ceremony, he finally returns."

In a deadpan voice, he said, "I want to meet you."
