The Mafia King's First Love Chapter 525 The Mafia King from the shadows

Chapter 525 The Mafia King from the shadows　　”Grandpa, you should have seen how Ruru played chess!” As soon as Lihua was back, she was singing stories about Ruru’s awesome chess game against his opponents.

Ruru, who was holding onto his teddy bear, blushed and hid behind Qingqing.

*Meow*

I am proud of my servant.

He softly patted her back to which she was extremely pleased by his service.

Zhao Weisheng smiled. “Is that so? Ruru did a good job.”

She nodded furiously. “If not for him, I would have lost everything! All the women I freed would have been back to those disgusting creeps! We were able to stop the prostitutes business too,” she was proud. “How did Ruru learn chess so well?”

Ruru whispered, “Grandpa….”

Lihua widened her eyes. “You taught him?”

He scratched his chin. “Yeah, Zhen was never there to play with him. So, when Ruru secretly used to visit me, I would teach him chess. He is a bright boy. He learned it easily.”

Then he said with a solemn expression, “Although you won, don’t believe Zhen so easily. Promising to shut down prostitution might only be on a face value. Will he really close it down based on a game?”

“B-But….”

He shook his head. “Their family is rotten. They are snakes. They would break promises at the snap of their fingers. He was just toying with you.”

She clenched her fists. “He can do whatever he wants. But I won’t let his type of underworld succeed! I will do anything in my power to stop it.”

Zhao Weisheng then asked, “Let’s think about how to do that. But first let me ask…I heard from some guards murmuring that you went to the Jiang villa. Something happened to Wei?”

She stiffened. Lihua anxiously let out all her worries. “Grandpa, Wei…”

When he heard everything that had happened, he was silent for a long time.

She bit her lip. “Wei…Wei cannot have…” Even if she had guessed that he might be acting, a part of her still wondered if Wei had been really affected or not. It was a torture for Lihua to witness such a side of him.

He patted her head. “Don’t worry. Things will get better. I am sure of it.”

—

Jiang villa.

It was late at night when the door to Wei’s room slowly opened. Wei’s closed eyes immediately opened, and he narrowed at the figure.

Jiang Weizhe closed the door behind him and in the darkness, walked towards Wei. He didn’t switch on the light because he didn’t want the guards outside to find anything activity happening in his room.

Jiang Weizhe sat on the bed. The father and son were silent for a long time.

Finally, Jiang Weizhe coldly said, “You are making Yubi cry too much.”

He said nothing.

“I understand why you are doing it, but I cannot see my wife sad.”

He pursed his lips.

“Not only Yubi, you made Lihua worry too.”

That guilt hit him immensely. He still remembered how Lihua looked at him, seeing him acting like a maniac.

Shock, pain, anxiety…

Wei wished if he could just kill himself rather than forcing her to make such a saddened face.

He lowered his head. “I didn’t know he would bring her too.”

“We underestimated him once, which is why we suffered defeat. Don’t do it again.”

A layer of ice could be seen on his irises. “I will never forget that. The defeat…I have burned in my mind.”

“Do you think you could convince Jiang Zhen?”

He meant by believing that Wei was now a mental case.

A glint passed through his eyes. “I could see the suspicion before. But after Mingshen’s hypnosis, he was more at ease.”

Jiang Weizhe tilted his head. “Don’t drop your guard.”

“I know. He could do a surprise test anytime.”

“Did Mingshen really do hypnosis?”

Wei asked, “Does it matter?”

He raised his brow and his gaze flashed a hint of cunningness. “Not really. Hypnosis doesn’t work on us. Or rather…the Mafia Kings have always trained themselves to consciously answer what we want even in our hypnotized state.”

In simple terms, even if Wei was really under hypnosis, he would never answer anything that would give away the fact if he was planning something. Under hypnosis, he behaved as if he was Lihua’s husband just like he did when he was conscious to let Jiang Zhen know that he wasn’t thinking of anything else but her. There was no plot for revenge or any comeback.

It was impossible for Jiang Zhen to squeeze out answers from him thinking that Wei was under hypnosis.

Of course, it wasn’t an easy feat to achieve. To have semblance in a hypnotized or unconscious state required a lot of mental training and strength. Wei had failed a number of times when he had started out in his childhood for the Mafia King training. At that time, Yang Cheng handled the lab. Wei would give away his innermost thoughts easily. But with training, Wei finally achieved that state where hypnosis would prove a useless tool against him if an enemy were to really use it.

It was the same with Mingshen.

And this was a fact even Shen Yang didn’t know about. This information was only kept between the Mafia King and the head of the Yang family. Hypnosis and poisons didn’t work on them.

“Mingshen knows that hypnosis wouldn’t be effective on you.”

And if Jiang Zhen still didn’t know that it was useless against Wei meant that Mingshen was still on Wei’s side. Otherwise, there was no merit for Mingshen in doing something meaningless.

Wei nodded. “He charged him two hundred million for something he knew wouldn’t work at all.”

Conclusion – Jiang Zhen was robbed in broad daylight.

Jiang Weizhe ever so faintly smiled. “The Yangs know very well how to squeeze money. Cheng was the same.”

Then he asked, “I understand you want to lower his guard. You want him to think that you are completely out of the picture because you have turned crazy. You are not a threat to him anymore. But what do you want to do next?”
