Chapter 725: Fong Cai

CHAPTER 725

Ye Cheng could hardly believe what his ears just heard. They tried to kill his mom?

Be it a pseudo bomb or not, it was outrageous that they dare to do something like that.

“Fine. I would send two squads of guards to protect her. You shall be in charge since you have been with her the longest.”

“Yes sir.”

“On no account, should anyone, whatsoever come in contact with her, do I make myself clear. The maids should be watched carefully. The parameter, add more CCTV cameras if you have to but ensure no harm comes to her.

…..

“Got it, sir. I would do as you have instructed.”

“Yes, and for today, she is not allowed to leave the house,” Ye Cheng added the last bit of information.

“Huh, about that sir,” he swallowed.

“Yes? Speak freely.”

“The madam insisted that she would still go shopping and I should prepare another car.”

“She did what?!”

“She said she was going on about her day and I think she means it.”

“Oh, she means it alright and that is what is scary. It is like she is using herself as bait,” Ye Cheng explained.

He went silent for some seconds to collect his thoughts before the young man’s voice broke him out again.

“Oh, sir.”

“Hmm?”

“Do you think you can persuade her not to go? Because just now when they had the car doors jammed and controlled, I could not get in to save her. I think the madam is angry, sir.”

“Anyone in her shoes should be angry and scared. Even you would be,” he breathed out and pressed on the bridge between his brows.

“Do not worry. Just keep a close watch. I would call her later when she is much calm.”

“Yes sir.”

He dropped the call and went ahead to prepare the next car for Li An.

Ye Cheng on the other hand heaved out a deep breath. His brain seemed fuzzy with the news he just heard.

Had things not been a joke, he would have been motherless now.

He combed through his hair with his fingers and dropped out an exasperated sigh.

Things were getting out of hand faster than he had hoped.

Apparently, they have been attacked by Zhang. It seemed only one thing remained. This was going to be an all-out war with people dying.

This was against the law but playing by the law had not paid him well. He had been benevolent in the past but what did he get?

‘Fine, Zhang. I would come after your daughter this time and let Bai Qing Mei know the feeling of almost losing a mother.’

~****~

Once Li An arrived inside her house, she sat carefully on the sofa like the deadly thing that had occurred did not just happen.

Her hands picked up her phone from her side after a few minutes and she scrolled through. No sooner had she begun than her fingers locked on her target.

“There you are,” she smiled into the phone and dialled the number.

Ring! Ring!

“Hello,” she heard a deep voice call from the other end of her phone.

“Hello, Fong.” Her smile dropped and she swallowed, trying to water her throat. “How are you?”

“Li An, is that you?”

“What? You threw away my number now, Fong Cai?”

The man smiled into the phone as though she was watching his lips move. “Not at all. How dare I? I changed phones and I haven’t imputed my email to get my contacts. Besides, the others are saved in my IOS. Anyways, let me not bore you with those. How are you?”

“How do you do too?”

“Great,” Fong Cai replied sharply.

“Better.” Judging from her breathing and tone, Fong Cai could not really pinpoint what was wrong with her.

She looked okay on so many fronts that he was beginning to wonder if she had indeed reached out on a friendly base or…

“I am glad you are okay,” her voice cut into his thoughts. “Because the task I have for you is not a calm one.”

“I suspected as much. You haven’t called me in ages and now that you did, sadly it is not because you care for me.”

Her smile pulled to the side. “I do care for you, but I do not care about you the other way.”

“Ouchie!”

“Now stop playing around and speak clearly to me, Cai.”

At her warning, he shifted up on his seat bringing both elbows to rest on his desk. “Go on ahead. I am all ears.”

“First promise me you won’t be sending me to Fong Wei Ling. I need a strong devious man that knows how cruel I can be to handle this. This isn’t kids’ play.”

“Of course, you have my word. Besides, Wei Ling is uncanny when it comes to this work. He inherited my ruthlessness,” Fong Cai self-praised.

“Okay then. He has Ye Cheng to partner with. I on the other hand want something more.” From his breathing and silence, she knew he meant business now and so did she. “I was attacked.”

His eyes flew open at her confession. Holy molly, shit! Who tried that?

“Someone tried to blow me up, well as a warning though,” Li An completed, still wearing her trademark smile.

He did not wait for her to finish her sentence before he yelled into the phone. “What?”

“You heard me well.”

“Who dares?”

“It is the Zhang family I suppose. I want his granddaughter to fear so much but also, please give him a friendly reminder. Worsen his heart attack as my first thank you present to them.”

“Alright, whatever you wish. Any other thing?”

“Make them pay a million fold. Torture would be nice. Catch the one who spoke into the phone today to try and scare me. He should be your first victim of inept torture. Make him pay. And of course, the money shall be paid in advance.”

“Oh no. What are we childhood friends for? If I do not ensure your safety and that of your family, then I can kiss my name goodbye cause your uncle would make my business suffer. Take this as a brotherly favour, okay?”

“Hmm, fine. Thank you. I would still treat you.”

“Okay. Just check up on this brother more and I am fine. Then be happy as well and live for yourself.”

“Deal.”
