This Martini Smells Blood

Chapter 27.1 The strange reward

Wuxie and Kylin finally reached Angela's house. Since Wuxie had already informed his arrival, they were able to enter the tightly secured house without any problem.

Angela was at the front door welcoming them both.

"Thank you for agreeing to see us this hour." Wuxie apologized as he approached the women in courtesy.

"No. It's okay. Since you have said it's an emergency...Oh. Why don't you two come inside."

Wuxie got seated and... Kylin as usual just stood by the door leaning onto it.

"So, what's the emergency? The case is closed right?" Angela asked in worry.

"The case... It's closed before our judiciary. But it's not over." Wuxie carefully explained. Angela was sure more confused right now.

"You know... Sam Lin died. I shouldn't speak ill of the dead. But still, he was involved in some bad..."

"I figured. You don't need to explain his ill-doings. He died because of his Karma. People who do bad will have a terrible end."

Even though Angela seemed to be fine how things went with Sam... Deep down she was hurt. Wuxie could see through her bold façade.

"Ms. Zhao... He may have taken bad decisions which indeed led him to a terrible end. But I... we think he also has done something to compensate it."

"What do you mean?"

"He helped a child. Actually... we are here for something that kid told us about. Lele... Do you know him?" Wuxie didn't waste any more time but asked about Lele.

"Lele?? Yes... Sam does talk a lot about a kid Lele. With my daughter actually."

"Then... what is the reward for saving him?"

"What? What reward? And what happened to him?"

Angela was confused at Wuxie's sudden demands. But it sure made it clear that she has no clue about Sam's plan. After thinking for a moment Wuxie put forward another request.

"I guess you don't have a clue about it. Ms. Zhao, can we to your daughter for a moment?"

"Umm... She did go to bed. But... Let me check. That girl has a very bad sleeping routine." Said Angela as she got up.

She excused herself to bring her down to the living room. By the time They were left alone, Wuxie turned towards Kylin checking that impassive face.

"Xiao ge... Are you okay?" Wuxie asked in a low voice.

Kylin gives Wuxie a nod with a flash of a smile. It was enough to calm Wuxie's troubling heart.

After some time Angela climbed down the stairs with his daughter following her close.

"There you are... Do you remember uncle?" Wuxie asked with a bright smile to break the ice.

Sam's daughter wasn't that shy type but still, every child will be awkward the first around others. So, she didn't answer Wuxie instead pulled his mom close.

"It's okay. They are good uncles." Angela ensured her child.

"Hey... We just want to let you know that... we saved Lele. You know Lele right?"

As she heard a familiar name, her eyes shine bright. She came out of her mom's cover and stood before Wuxie.

"You saved Lele? Can I see him?"
