Mr Manoban's Daring Wife 2 [Jenlisa]

Chapter 256: The Men Around Her

Jennie did not want this location to be revealed to her personal driver. She went back to the "Black Room" and was chilled by what she saw. Her eyes scanned the room, where the bodies of half-alive men could be found and a very much blood-coated Haruto stood near them. Her eyes centered on Somi who was sweating and evidently had changed into training clothes.

The bodies were tortured beyond words. They were even worse than the international spies caught by the military. The smell in the air was disgusting and she had to cover her nose to prevent herself from gagging.

Somi relieved all of her pent-up anger and frustration upon these men who had done the same to her. She was only a part of the brutal beating, but did not join Haruto in his so-called "play time." She always knew there were one or two loose screws in his brain and did not realize the full extent of his capabilities. It was just today that she witnessed why he was always in this room and why he often smelled like iron.

Jennie did not want to step into the room. The blood on the floor reminded her of something she saw beneath her when she woke up in an office room.

"Somi, are you done? Do you want to go home now?" Jennie stood by the doorway. She watched as a group of janitors made their way down the halls, heading their way.

Somi's head snapped up, a few splotches of blood covered her face. She took off the training hoodie, dumped it in the trash and walked out of the room. "I need to change my clothes and take a shower. Then we can leave together." She cheerfully smiled, a relieved look in her eyes when she saw that Jennie did not cringe back from her.

Jennie took out a napkin from her purse and wiped off the small dots of blood on Somi's face. "You seem relieved." She commented, watching as Somi kicked off her sneakers and picked them up.

"It was really satisfying, beating them up." She took one last look at the men in the room and then turned to Jackson. "Will you need them for interrogation?"

Jackson nodded his head. "Yes. The doctors will keep them alive." His eyes lingered on Jennie. Where did his brother go? Why weren't they together?

"Okay, will you get Kim Jisoo ready? I'll be up in fifteen minutes. I want to go..." Somi trailed off. She didn't want to go back to her apartment complex, even if there was a heavy possibility the place was already cleaned up. She also did not want to go back to the Main Mansion. She had other real estate's spread throughout the country, but there was only one in Shenbei.

Speaking of the main mansion, Somi remembered the phone call with her parents midway into the beating. They had frantically called her when she was nowhere to be found in the hospital. After constant reassuring that she was fine and a promise she would visit them sometime tomorrow, they left her off the hook.

Jennie thought about where they should go. Cerulean Water Pavillion came to mind. Lisa would be notified if she went there, but she decided it was fine. It's not like she was running away from him. She just needed time off to collect the truth.

"Come with me to Cerulean Water Pavilions. Lisa bought me a house there." Jennie piped up, the neighborhood easily registering in the Manoban siblings' mind.

Jackson nodded his head in approval. As expected of his brother. The houses there were heavily guarded, in a well-off and secluded area with good environment and nature at their backdoors.

Somi swiveled around. "What?! Lisa oppa got you a house there? I've been bothering him to buy me one for ages. It was the same situation as the purse. Ugh, how come he pampers you but not his own sister?"

Jennie laughed. "You have your entire family and Jackson doting upon you. One less person won't hurt."

"But he's the one who can do the most!" Somi pouted but relented in the end. Her Jenjen deserves all the pampering in the world and only Lisa oppa would suffice.

Jackson shook his head at his younger sister. Such a spoiled little princess she was...

Lisa watched from the window as his woman and Somi boarded the black Maybach. In his hand was a glass of wine to calm his anger, his fingers gripping the thin stem tightly when he heard the reports. She was going to see Kim Hanbin. Luckily, she did not storm outside of the headquarters without a guard. It would be too dangerous for her to roam the area. She was smart enough not to call her private chauffeur.

He thought back to her words. He did not trust her? More like he could not trust the men around her.

Lisa turned back to the woman who reported everything that had happened in the last twenty minutes. Second to Chou Tzuyu was Lu Shanshan who had been by his side in the Underworld for a while now. She was always present in the shadows here and rarely accompanied him outside. He grew up with her in middle school and from then on, the two have watched each other flourish.

Lisa decided it was time to bring her into the light. She would not pose a threat to his little lady, for Lu Shanshan was already married to a loving husband and they had a son together. She was only older than Lisa by a year, yet she had already accomplished everything Lisa wanted in a family. He wanted a wife and more than one kid... Preferably all girls who resembled their mother.

Lisa replayed the recordings of the waiting room. Jennie was going to a tea room with Kim Hanbin, presumably to ask him something. Lisa could already guess what it was.

"Big Boss, should we have someone tail the lady-boss into the restaurant?" Lu Shanshan asked, her eyes lingering upon the woman in the video.

In her eyes, Jennie truly was a dashing beauty, one that could capture the heart of any passerby. Silky hair, resembling the dusk of midnight and eyes that shine like the stars on the mountainsides. Drop-dead gorgeous would be an understatement for her. It was no wonder that their boss was so captured by this woman.

Lu Shanshan thought, 'If I was a man, I would surely do the same thing.'

"No need." Lisa closed the tablet and went back to his desk. He would give her three days to explain herself. If she did not, he would lose his trust in her right then and there.

Lu Shanshan slowly nodded her head. "Also, it seems Miss Somi and the Lady Boss will be staying elsewhere. I have just received word that it will be at a property in Cerulean Waters Pavilion."

If Lisa was affected by the announcement, he did not show it. Instead, he took a relaxed and languid sip of his wine, watching as the red tides swirl in the crystal glass. His eyes, unconcerned and guarded, did not show signs of anger like most men would when they heard their woman left their home. Technically, she was still going home, it would just be their second one.

"Notify the housekeeper of their arrival." He placed the glass down and popped a piece of gum into his mouth, casually chewing it and getting rid of the taste of alcohol from his tongue. Speaking of which, he also needed to brush his teeth. If she came home today, he would lavish her greatly, more than he did the last time.

Lu Shanshan readily nodded her head.

Lisa opened his laptop and got to work. Lu Shanshan saw that as a sign for her to be excused. She clasped her hands to her side, did a half-body bow and left.
