The Devil’s love

While Elizabeth was having a very intense discussion with grandpa Bai about Jason and how she cannot stand him, Kiara was still contemplating whether she should reply to Linhou or not. He had been sending her messages repeatedly for the last couple of hours.

[Linhou: So you are giving me the silent treatment?] ​​

[Linhou: Do you really not remember me?]

[Linhou: I think I need to remind you (kiss) (kiss)]

[Linhou:Are you shy? Why are you being shy all of a sudden?]

His constant messages were giving her a headache and increasing the peer pressure that she was facing. After contemplating and battling with her professional self who didn't want to be associated with him and her personal self who couldn't wait to text and talk to him, she kicked her professional instincts away and replied to him with a double question mark.

[Kiara: ??]

After hitting on the sent button, she nervously chewed her cuticles and impatiently waited for his reply. Her stomach was churning in excitement and she was feeling very giddy, she had no idea what she was so excited for.

[Linhou: Yes, I miss you too. Do you have any idea how difficult it was to find your number?]

Biting her lower lip, she chuckled and quickly replied back.

[Kiara: I never said that I miss you]

[Linhou: You didn't but I know that you missed me a lot and even if you didn't, I missed you a lot]

[Kiara: What do you want from me?]

[Linhou: I wanna meet again, a small meeting]

[Kiara: That cannot happen now, you gotta wait for the right time]

[Linhou: Okay, I am a very understanding guy so I can but only if you promise me something]

Scrunching her brows, she wondered what was going on in his mind for a while before asking him,

[Kiara: What kind of promise?]

[Linhou: When we meet again, can we finish what we started in Alley Downtown?]

Squealing in excitement, she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before quickly replaying,

[Kiara: We will see]

[Linhou: Alright, I am going for a mission tonight and I have no idea when I will come back. I'll call you as soon as I come back, okay?]

Biting her lower lip, she scrunched her brows before replying,

[Kiara: Stay safe!]

[Linhou: I knew that you care about me ♥. Anyway, miss me while I am away, I will talk to you later. Bye gorgeous]

Pressing her cell phone against her chest, she squealed and buried her head on the pillow.

….

TWO DAYS LATER

Yichan and Ning's place.

"It's been two days, do you think he is okay?" Guiren frowned.

"Linhou is like this when he goes for a mission, he won't call you until you find out the entire truth," Yichan answered.

Jason nodded his head and added, "Boss is right, I think we should hear from him soon."

"Do you think he managed to find out something?"

"It's Linhou we are talking about, I am sure he will find out everything," Lucas chuckled. When everyone gave him a weird look, he shrugged his shoulders, "What? I am praising him, is that wrong?"

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Bojing suggested, "Let's keep Ning and others away from this thing, the further they stay, it will be easier for us to deal with this mess."

"Hmm I had thought of that too but Ning—" Helplessly shaking his head, Yichan sighed, "There is no we can keep anything away from her now."

"Same goes with Yuri, you guys know how she is," Guang added.

Just then, Jason's phone rang. "It's Linhou," he informed everyone before receiving the call.

"Hey Jas, it's me Linhou."

Rolling his eyes, Jason scoffed, "Dude, I have you number."

"Oh I know that but I thought that since I did not call you anyone for so many days, maybe you forgot my handsome face," he explained.

Gritting his teeth, Jason snapped, "Two days, I did not hear from you for only two days, how can you expect me to forget you?"

"Well, anything can happen anyway, I don't have time for this. Are you with big boss right now?"

"Uh huh, everyone is here," he replied.

"Put the boss on the phone, I need to talk to him."

Giving the phone to Yichan, Jason stated, "It's Linhou."

"What happened? Are you fine?" Yichan inquired.

"Yo boss, I am fine and I found out everything that you wanted me to." Without waiting for his reply, Linhou explained further, "Apparently that Angella girl did not die that day, the doctor in charge managed to save her but she was taken away by a few men secretly from the hospital. I checked the hospital records, her name isn't mentioned anywhere. When I further investigated, the doctor who saved her was bribed."

Pausing for a while, he added, "It wasn't easy to track the doctor down but I somehow managed. It turns out that some Wulos took Angella away from the hospital along with a few men. This Wulos guy works for Kareem William, Angella's father so it turns out that he was the mastermind behind this entire plan."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Yichan inquired, "Do you have all the evidence?"

"Uh huh, I have everything and I also have a little surprise for you," Linhou answered.

Scrunching his brows, he inquired, "What kind of surprise?"

"You will see boss, I'll be there in about an hour." Without waiting for anyone's reply, he hung up the call.

Passing the phone to Jason, Yichan sighed, "She is really alive, Linhou has the proof and he will be here in an hour. Apparently he also has some sort of a surprise."

"What surprise?"

"I have no idea."

"Don't get your hopes high, last time he told me he had a surprise for me so I got all excited but later I found out that the surprise was a weird looking elephant shaped stone which he found on the roadside," Jason sighed and helplessly shook his head.
