Taming Tyrants I

Arc 2: Mad Mafia, Elegant CEO (57)

Hong Cha guiltily looked back to Lou Fenbing. This young man had doted on her for these past days but never tried to step above hugging and holding hands. She would use excuses if he tries to initiate a kiss and Lou Fenbing wouldn't mind letting her off. What an understanding gentleman. However, he just got to learn her little big secret ah. Lou Fenbing repeatedly breathed heavily as he looked upwards the sky. Hong Cha doesn't know whether to explain or not. If she explains, he won't get angry. If she doesn't explain, both of them can let go so she can focus on her mission as he lives his own life.

"Get in. Lets have a talk." Lou Fenbing said shortly and went in first. Bai Zhang glanced at Hong Cha before grinning. Sure she was his little snowflake. Both he and Lou Fenbing likes protecting her but Lou Fenbing had let him down so his 'little sister' will also get implicated. Bai Zhang wouldn't want to have Hong Cha harmed as well. He did this for their own good.

"Bai Zhang, you were working with that madman all this time? Is that how he tracked us?" Hong Cha directly asked when they had their privacy inside the house. She stood on her place as Lou Fenbing sat on a couch with a grim face while Bai Zhang admired a newly made painting of the two on the wall. He acted as if it was not a big deal. Bai Zhang turned to her.

"Sort of. He offered half a billion dollar for a contract with me. Moreover, this is for both your safety. You don't know how ruthless Xu Qin Rui can be if his limit broke." Bai Zhang's eyes went sharp cold. His gaze settled on Lou Fenbing next. "Remember, Lou Fenbing? He is Xu Ji's grandson. Xu Ji massacred your family and that night, I was there with my uncle. That very same night, Xu Qin Rui is also there with his sister. They watched you and your sister desperately tried to survive. And worse, Xu Qin Rui only watched your sister bleed to death. As of now, I replaced her. Wasn't it good for a while? But then, Xu Qin Rui wants her. I cant risk having that massacre repeat."

"I know. You don't want Shanlong to be dragged down." Lou Fenbing knew how far Xu Qin Rui can go. Before the night of the massacre, he and Lou Fencha met Xu Qin Rui. Xu Family are know for their political connections and governance authority. However, only one Xu Family member was out of politics. It was Xu Ji, Xu Qin Rui's grandfather. He never likes acting fake so he is the known straight mafia leader. Xu Qin Rui's parents disapproved of this though.

Lou Family those years was at their peak of wealth. They are born with smart infants that often chooses to be doctors or engineers once they grew up. Zhong Hospital is one of their pride which Lou Fenbing was bound to inherit. Xu Qin Rui's parents reached out for them every now and then for constructing projects and helping civilians during a famine or catastrophes. It was for the first time, Xu Qin Rui was brought into Lou Manor with his parents. They were eight by then and Lou Fencha was younger.

Upon seeing Lou Fencha playing with Lou Fenbing by the garden, he paused. The young boy never knew he was captivated by Lou Fencha's own charm. Xu Qin Rui did introduced himself and got along well but he noticed she was too clingy to Lou Fenbing. It annoyed him secretly. His calmness broke and demanded to bring Lou Fencha with him. His parents thought he was joking so they laughed it off. Lou Fencha triggered him more by saying she likes her brother more than him.

The next night, Xu Ji arrived in town and brought his grandchildren to show them his authority without the government backing him up. Xu Qin Bing wanted to disagree but she keeps quiet. Xu Qin Rui who have the same urges as Xu Ji, watched in admiration. His face paled to see Lou Fencha being shot when she ran out of the manor. He wanted to help but he stopped and stood in front of Lou Fencha. She doesn't like him then he won't like her! He coldly turned his back and Bai Zhang saw this.

"How can this protect us? You, selling us out to Xu Qin Rui!?" Hong Cha asked with a headache. Bai Zhang sighed lightly.

"You know where this 500 million came from? Xu Qin Rui have a plan to smuggle a hidden product of Paris. It is a scent that can manipulate emotions, a perfume in fact. However, if he can have it, this can attract more consumers to his empire or at the same time, use the scent to control people. This product was strictly forbidden and destroyed but its creator keeps producing it in secret. Xu Qin Rui had contacted him a month ago. However, for some reason, he cancelled the transaction."

"What is your point?" Lou Fenbing narrowed his eyes.

"Old Lou, Fenfen, Xu Qin Bing contacted me." he paused. Lou Fenbing fell into deep thoughts while Hong Cha guessed Bai Zhang's plan. "Her department is eyeing on Xu Qin Rui. They knew he is planning to get the illegal product and agents are now everywhere in Paris. She wanted me to cooperate with Xu Qin Rui and catch him without inflicting any danger on both sides. He was desperate to look for Fenfen so I used the opportunity to tie him in this agreement. In no time, Xu Qin Rui will be caught. Old Lou and Fenfen, both of you will be free from his threat soon. I am sorry I wasn't able to tell you this sooner. The problem is..."

Bai Zhang slowly looked at Hong Cha's stomach. He and Lou Fenbing eyed at her. Hong Cha became nervous.

"O-oi, even though Im an assassin, this is still my kid! I cant abort it, right B-Brother?" she took a step back and gulped.
