CHAPTER 594

After some seconds, Ye Cheng got himself back and quickly placed a call to Long Lei.

"Hey, morning."

'Wow, what demon breezed the almighty Ye Cheng in?"

"I do not have time for this, Long Lei."

"Do you? I was starting to miss your trouble as it has been quiet these past months but surprisingly you called. Fine, since you are in no mood to joke, what is wrong?"

"Nothing. What am I even saying? Li Jing got into an accident. She is being rushed to your hospital as we speak now."

"I see. Okay. That is pretty bad. Do not worry, I would be waiting for her and get a VIP ward separate for her."

"Thanks."

"Um Cheng, you do not think this is merely an accident, right?" Ye Cheng did not answer him but allowed his friend to explain what he meant.

Who knows, Long Lei may know something that he didn't.

"Remember the first time I actually saw her, she had her drink spiked. Who knows, this may not be an accident. Have Fong Wei Ling investigate the matter. If there is anything suspicious, he would most definitely find it out."

"Yeah, I was planning on calling him immediately after I called you. Thanks."

"So you knew it was no accident, hmm. They have the nerve actually coming against your own."

"I knew it wasn't. Nevertheless, I would get to the bottom of it and find out who dared go against me."

"Alright. I believe you. I would let you do the needful then."

"Thanks, please take care of Li Jing."

"She is my sister-in-law. I would definitely do so without your asking."

"Alright."

Beep!

The call ended again and as quickly as it did, he scrolled through his contact list and brought out his friend's name.

"Fong Wei Ling."

Ring! Ring!

"Ye Cheng! How long has it been?"

"Hey Wei Ling, I need your help please."

"Anything for my dude. So tell me is it help with your wife's attackers or do you have another secret business?"

Ye Cheng's lips pulled back to the side a bit to reveal a side smile. "Your eyes and ears are always open, I see."

"I cannot do less, my friend. My men were on their way back from an errand when the accident did occur. Lucky you, it was no accident from what I was told."

"Did they catch the culprits?"

"No, but we got hands-on the plate number. Not wanting to interfere, they did not do much and went their way but then again seeing your call, I could almost guess."

"Hmm, what are you not telling me. It doesn't add up how you knew."

"Fine. I called and pulled some connections to see who was affected in the accident. You know me, information is what I live for and that was when I was told that it was the young wife of the Ye family."

"Hmm. I want them found. I want them tortured and I want to find out who is behind this nonsense."

"Already working on it. The second I heard they came after your woman, I became my case, with or without you asking."

"Thanks."

"It is nothing. It would be an error having the number one Mafia gang leader as a friend and yet you cannot get things like this done."

"I know and it is why I am appreciating you."

"Getaway. I do not need it. It is what friends are for. I know we all have fallen apart a bit being so busy with life but I would appreciate it if one of these days, we all hang out, like old times."

"I like that."

"Really? The number one busy bache.. I mean the number busy businessman is agreeing to my agreements without any pressure."

"Why is that so hard to believe?"

"Nothing. I would arrange for us to spend a weekend for vacation in a hot spring. We can all bring our women for them to meet while we the guys hang out. I know that way you would feel at ease knowing Li Jing would be alright."

"Definitely. I would inform Yi Wang Lei and Long Lei. You can make the arrangements and tell Rong."

"Why me? He would not let my ears rest with how well I forgot him?"

"If you are so scared of Rong, then you should not be the number one mafia leader, right?"

"Tsk, you know how to tease the wrong way, Cheng. Anyways, I would do the needful. Ciao. Hurry along to meet our sister-in-law. Your car s too slow."

"How did you.."

"I had installed all the security details for your car, remember. So that when you get missing, yours truly can find you."

"Naughty. Just let me be and do what I asked. Make them pay."

"Oh, I would make them pay alright, way more than they had anticipated."

"Thanks. Bye."

Beep!

"Gong Kang?"

"Yes, young master."

"Step on it. We are too slow."

historical

"Yes, young master."

****

Soon the news of Li Jing's accident was already on the news and a certain number of people were jubilating from it.

"Judging from what has happened, the wife of the CEO o Dream Star Corporation, Li Jing was riding n the back seat of the car, after just returning from a disturbing case at the office and her car got ran into by another vehicle. Although some people did not see it as an accident, it was discovered that the driver of the vehicle was drunk. Due to this.."

"What did I tell you?" She turned to her side to look at the person who spoke. "I said it would work didn't I?"

"Yes. Yes, you did." She looked on at the TV screen with so much rapt attention but one closer look at her, Hao Huizhong could tell that she had toned down the news in her mind to think.

"Babe, why are you so speechless about it?"

"Huh?"

"Talk to me. We have to celebrate." He held her shoulders a bit, shaking her body to bring back his cheerful girlfriend.

"I know. I know Huizhong. It is just that it feels so.. Like can you see the video? Her car tumbled. If she survives it, then she must fracture a limb or two," Bai Qing Mei voiced out.

"Isn't it what we wanted? We wanted to teach her a lesson. And viola we did."

"Yeah, just that it feels too good to be true you know. I still feel unsure. Did we get her? To what extent did she get injured? Now that the press is involved, I know Ye Cheng would not let us know any detail."

"Well, we can have our way and get info from someone n the hospital."

"Which hospital would that be?"

"It most definitely ould be Long's. You know him, he doesn't really trust anyone to treat him aside Long. I wonder what that guy gave to him to garner Ye Cheng's trust that way."

"It is not Long Lei that is the problem. I can't believe you gad been friends with Ye Cheng for so long now yet you could not figure that simple thing out."

"Well, I just didn't care much. So you tell me."

Stretching a bit, Bai Qing Mei let out a tired yawn before relaxing against the chair and recounting the old times.

"I was also curious once and I decided to question the young man. Then I found out that his father has been treating their family. Basically, you see the Ye and the Long family, they have been friends for ages. Anything treatment, it has to be them and only them."

"Hmm, I see. So infiltrating must be a bit hard except you have some strings to pull," Hao Huizhong suggested.

"No need. We would surely hear the news later. We would just have to use a reporter to get what we need. For now, tell Li Xiu congratulations. Her disturbance at the bank did pay off."

"Yeah. I am surprised though."

"Why? You are surprised about?"

"Ye Cheng. Why wasn't he in the vehicle? Obviously hearing that something terrible is happening with his wife's company, he should have gone with her. I was honestly hoping that he went so that it would have been a situation of killing two birds with one stone."

"Who knows, he had other appointments or something. Regardless, I am happy I handled that bitch."

****

In the same vein, Li Xiu and her mother waited by the TV waiting to hear the news on the accident and when they did, it was jubilation all through.

"Right now, the young miss of the Li family and wife of the CEO of Dream Star Corporation is lying on a sickbed. With little or no information on her health, the people can only wish and pray for her recovery."

"YAYYYY!"

"Hahaha.. That is my daughter," Ding Jiaying yelled out. "You did it.. You caught her this time. I feel so great, you know!"
