Chapter 414 - [Bonus ] The Mafia Kings Orders
Inside Lu Bojing's apartment, which was Wei's ex-living residence, the two stood in silence. One type of silence was such that it would crush the soul out of a human.
The other type of silence was such that it made the person tremble and cry in fear.
Lu Bojing sobbed.
Why did this guest suddenly barge into my house? Why does he look so dangerous? What have I done?
It was the type of fear he felt similar to whenever he talked to Mingshen.
I should have never come here... It's hard talking to people! I better stay in my lab!
Wei took a step forward and narrowed his eyes. "Why are you here?"
He jolted. "I-I-I live here.." he said in a meek voice.
"Why?"
H-How am I supposed to answer that?
"I-I have to live somewhere.."
"You live in Mingshen's lab. Why are you Lihua's neighbor?"
"Oh, that. Yes, I do. But-" Lu Bojing suddenly realized what was wrong.
He stared at Liangshi, dumbfounded. "You know Boss?"
Wei tilted his head. "Why wouldn't I?"
"W-Who are you?"
Wei raised his hands and removed the mask from his face. As his Godly handsome face came into view, Lu Bojing turned paler and paler.
M-M-Mafia King!?
Lu stumbled back and almost fell. His jaw dropped wide open. Wei quietly stood and observed him.
Poor Lu Bojing was sweating hard.
That guest was Jiang Wei himself!? That means..
He put the pieces into a puzzle and recalled Mingshen saying that Wei was recently disguised to stay near Lihua.
He gulped hard.
It was him...I am dead. I am so dead!
"Why are you here?" Wei asked again.
Tears pooled in his eyes. "Please don't kill me. I am innocent."
Wei said nothing.
"I am under Boss's o-orders."
historical
Wei blinked. "Mingshen?"
"Y-yes.." he shivered.
"What are his orders?
"T-that.."
Am I supposed to tell him my orders?
"I-I-I don't know if I should be s-saying that-" a sharp chill ran down his spine, seeing Wei's expression turn even more lethal.
"I will ask him myself then."
Lu Bojing widened his eyes. "No! Please don't...I will tell you!"
Somehow I feel that it would start a war if they talk now!
He repeated his orders to him while trying hard not to stammer and cry at the same time.
Wei slightly widened his eyes in shock. "Lihua's personal doctor?"
"Yes.."
Wei was silent for a moment. A million thoughts and combinations ran in his mind. "Why?"
"I don't know.."
Wei squinted his gaze that was enough to make Lu Bojing want to kill himself right now.
"I mean! Boss just said to take care of her and her child. S-she often get into trouble, so..I need to make sure she is alright.."
Basically, I will be babysitting.
Ahhh, when will this get over? Would you please leave from here?
Wei leaned towards him, and his eyes traveled up and down. Slow and observant. Lu Bojing panicked and instinctively moved back.
"Why would Lihua get into trouble?"
"T-that was what Boss t-thinks.."
"Why would he think that way?" He calmly asked, but there was a ripple of something in his irises.
"I.."
Then with an extremely low but imposing voice, Wei asked, "Did something happen that I don't know about?"
Lu Bojing gulped. He almost turned into a ball in front of him.
"Tell me," Wei ordered.
The Mafia King's orders were absolute. Lu Bojing knew that. If he wanted to live, he had to confess everything.
"Y-yesterday, outside the hospital after visiting you, Boss and Madam were attacked by someone."
Wei froze. His breath came to a stop.
Lu Bojing recited the incident and how Lihua had pushed Mingshen out of harm's way. It was a close call as she and her baby were in danger if the cutter had struck her.
The more Wei listened to him, the more the atmosphere turned dark and pressurized and cold. Somebody dared to hurt Lihua and his child.
Wei shivered in fear. His family was in danger, but he wasn't there to protect them. His knuckles tightened, feeling angry at himself.
"Where is that man?"
"He is already dead! He-he was Boss's enemy and wanted revenge from him. So he handled him in his own way.."
Wei's gaze was so frightening that Lu Bojing wanted to disappear. "How dare he handle him?"
Translation - The attacker put Lihua in danger, so Wei was supposed to deal with him.
But he left it at that. He would talk to Mingshen later about it, he decided.
But it finally made sense to him why Mingshen chose Lu Bojing to be around her. He was capable of protecting Lihua and their child.
But that didn't mean he didn't feel jealous of him having to live as her neighbor.
"Do your job. But stay away from her."
His mouth twitched.
How can I do my job while staying away from her? He sobbed. If I have to treat her, then won't I have to be near her?
"Don't talk to her for a long time. Ten seconds at the most."
"..."
"Don't stare at her either."
I am not a pervert!
"Don't laugh with her."
I am crying my eyes out here already!
"Don't invite her into your house; neither will you step into hers."
I am her doctor!
"I-If the need arises then...I mean medically.."
Wei frowned. "You shouldn't let the need arise. That's your job too."
Do you think I am a Superman!?
"Don't dare touch her."
Like I said, I am her doctor!
"Lihua is very beautiful," Wei's gaze softened.
Huh? Where did this come from?
"So don't fall in love with her," he coldly warned.
!!!
"You will not expose my identity to her."
"Yes.." he nodded hard.
"And.."
Lu Bojing cried hard. He was wailing and rolling on the floor in his mind.
What else is left!?
Suddenly, he felt the seriousness in his gaze that seemed different than before.
"This is my order as a Mafia King now."
Lu Bojing straightened in attention.
Wei quietly said, "Always protect her.. At all times and at all cost."
