The Mafia King's First Love Chapter 549 A secret exchange

Chapter 549 A secret exchange　　In the dead of the night, Jia aka Jiming, made her way towards the place where all the research subjects were kept. They were the clones that Li Dong was testing to make them like Lu Bojing.

One guard would be doing his duty, and the shifts changed. The guard saw Jia coming and nodded.

“Thirty-seven.”

“Hm.”

The guard went away, and Jia stood at her post. Time ticked by, and she opened the door. During their duty, they would do a regular checkup on the subjects.

She went in and saw thirty-seven people strapped to their beds in an unconscious condition. A pang of sadness filled her chest. She knew how badly these people were subjected to Li Dong’s torture.

This number was nothing. Many had lost their lives who couldn’t bear the cruel experiments and drug testing. These thirty-seven people were only the few of them who didn’t die. Li Dong was sure that they would definitely be able to harness raw strength like Lu Bojing one.

Jia let out a breath. She went into her work mode and unstrapped one of the people from the bed. She had no fear of getting caught in any camera because there were no cameras in the first place.

This place where Li Dong tested the clones was extremely important to him. He didn’t want anybody, not even his guards to monitor what went on behind the closed doors as he experimented on them. It was as if he would give away a manual on how to assemble a machine. He didn’t want anybody to steal his methods or research.

The guards were allowed to go inside only once to confirm the count of the people inside. There were no test tubes, no drugs and no papers outside. All the tables were empty. He had locked up everything safely in a shelf that only he could access.

After he learned Jiang Zhen’s intention to cast him aside, he then allowed only two guards he trusted the most outside the lab. One was the guard from whom Jia took the shift, and the other was herself.

Jia let out a calculated smile in her mask.

It was difficult to gain his trust, but I did it anyway.

Going up through the ranks wasn’t a walk in the park. But Jia spared nobody to get to that position. She had to get closer to Li Dong as soon as possible.

And once she opened his eyes to the fact that Jiang Zhen was throwing him away with evidence supporting it, he didn’t need anything else to make her his closest aide. If not for her, he would have perhaps continued to believe Jiang Zhen about their partnership.

Such hypocrisy, she sneered. He took Jiang Zemin’s side when he was in power and left Jiang Shan to fend for himself.

Now that Jiang Zhen is doing the same thing by choosing the more powerful and influential Mingshen over him, he gets cold feet?

Jia kept those thoughts aside for now and made the subject sit on a wheelchair. She strolled it through a secret passage that she discovered once during her duty. She figured Li Dong created it to ship in the secret drugs and materials to carry out his research.

It led outside, and she saw a man in black clothes waiting for her.

Shen Yang narrowed his eyes as he checked the person on the wheelchair.

Jia handed him over and coldly answered, “As Mr. Jiang Zhen has ordered. He is one of the subjects that Li Dong is testing to make him like Lu Bojing.”

He smiled. “Great to have you on our team who works here. This made my job so easy. Boss will be very happy. Yang Mingshen planted you here to spy on Li Dong, but we are getting some great benefits too.”

Jia squinted her gaze.

“You seem to be in a good mood.”

He chuckled. “I am always in a good mood nowadays ever since I locked up a certain someone at my special place~ We have some good fun everyday.”

She shrugged.

Shen Yang carried the man over to his car and kept him at the back seat carefully. Then he lifted another man and brought him to Jia’s side. He placed him in the wheelchair.

“There you go.”

Jia raised her eyebrow.

“Quite a good duplicate you have found. He looks the same.”

Shen Yang winked at her. “There were thirty-seven subjects before. There will be thirty-seven subjects later too.”

He drove his car away. Jia went back through the same passage, carried the fake over to the bed and strapped him.

She stepped out and stood on guard as if nothing happened.

The next day as Lihua and her gang was about to head out for what they did everyday at the park, Jiang Zhen stopped her this time.

“You are not going today.”

Lihua shot him a nasty stare. “I don’t need your permission!”

He smiled. “You are able to go out precisely because of my permission. One order from me, and you will go back to your room.”

Ruru pursed his lips and hugged Lihua’s legs.

She sneered. “Why? Are you afraid to see your underworld drown?”

“You can think whatever you want. I am stopping you today because I have planned a lovely date for us~”

Her expression turned ugly as if she ate the most bitter medicine.

No, it’s poison.

Jiang Hua stiffened.

Date…

It was a date he planned but not with his wife. Instead it was another woman.

She quickly looked away, wanting to hide the pain and disappointment.

“I am in a good mood today,” his eyes twinkled.

It was mostly because Shen Yang successfully brought one of the clones to him. If things went smoothly, he would soon have all the subjects Li Dong had in his possession.

“I want to celebrate a small victory with my woman,” he smirked.

Lihua wanted to puke. But she maintained her smile. “If you are not afraid of me poisoning your food, then why not? Let’s go. But it won’t be just me. Jiang Hua and Ruru will come with us too.”
