CHAPTER 598
“Good. I like you. Anyways, as soon as she wakes up, let Lin Zian alert me, I would come over to greet her. Good thing I am in the city currently.”
“Okay, sir. Noted.”
“Thank you for being such a nice husband to her and loving her dearly.”
Lowering his gaze at Li Jing, Ye Cheng’s face fell again before taking in a deep breath and nodding his head. “No need to be thanked for that, sir.”
“Notwithstanding. Anyways take care.”
“You too sir.”
“Cheng, you can do anything you want, we would be here to watch after her until you return.”
“Do not worry, gramps. I want to be here when she wakes up.”
“Isn’t my daughter-in-law such a lucky child? See so many people willing to keep her company,,” Li An voiced out.
She was trying her best to light up the mood in the room and hopefully cause Ye Cheng to smile but it barely had any effect, instead, a sullen son was what she got.
“She wouldn’t have to if she listened. We would have been watching the movie by now and be happy.”
“Yes we should ha been but such is life. Learn to accept it for what it is,” Lin Zian advised.
“Hey, learn to thank God Ye Cheng. What has been, has been, rather thank God that it could have been worst but this was just the height instead. Be thankful and she would be okay in no time.”
“I’m sorry ma.”
“No. Do not apologize to me, apologize to God. Cause your grumbling is like you are angry at him whereas you should be grateful that your enemies plan didn’t work. She doesn’t have any major injury that can lead to a defect. That is a plus.”
“I’m so sorry God. Sorry for not being grateful enough.”
“That’s much better dear. Good. Now hold her hands and rest your head a bit, okay?” He nodded his head in understanding and did as she had requested.
“I would sit over there with Grandpa Lin. Be a good boy for mum okay.”
“Okay.”
Smiling at him, Li An leaned down and pecked him on the forehead before leaving him alone and going to her seat.
She got over to where Lin Zian was and smiled sadly at him. “Do not worry your pretty head, young lady and take the advice you gave your son.”
About three hours later, Ye Cheng’s phone began to ring, waking him up from his sleep and in turn disturbing the others who had taken a short nap.
The situation had worked them up that upon resting, they dozed off.
“Hello?” He did not say anything much and waited for the caller to speak. Because he was shocked as he woke up, he did not bother checking the caller and just answered.
“Ye Cheng, it is I. I have gotten the information you asked for and right now we have the goons who caused the accident.
“Fong Wei Ling, what is the update?”
“You won’t like what I am about to tell you.”
“And what is it? Just tell me let me…”
“Calm down. We tortured them much and they only have a name.”
“What name?”
“Mu Yixue.”
“Huh?”
“He is a street dog. Does odd jobs for the rich. He usually gets his jobs from different clients.”
“Then get him. Let him spill the beans on who sent him.”
“Already on their way to find him now. D not worry. I just thought I should let you know.”
“Thanks. How long until we get the culprit?”
“Within the hour he should be brought in.”
“But that kind of a person should be known for his secrecy if many rich clients use him a lot.”
“Yeah, but he has not met the Fong mafia gang interrogate him before. Have some little faith in me, brother. I promise you, we would get your wife’s true enemies.”
“I can already guess but I wonder why till now they haven’t used such a method. So it might be them and it might not.”
“I know what you are talking about but since it has been cheap tricks. I doubt though they are capable of using Mu Yixue.”
“Alright. It is obvious a super-rich client is at work here. Just do you and keep me posted.”
“Noted.”
“Oh and Wei Ling.”
“Yes?”
“Do not let those scumbags escape or off the hook for now.”
“I never intend to bro. Aren’t you hearing their anguish in the background?”
At the same time when he said it, he signalled for his men to increase the torture, causing the four men to scream out in pain.
“You heard it right?”
“Yeah. Good job.”

On the other hand, Li Xiu and Ding Jiaying did not waste any time in turning the Li Residence into a partying zone.
To them, this victory over Li Jing was one in a million. It superseded the rest. So why not call for a celebration.
“If we cannot go to a party, we might as well bring the party down here,” Li Xiu voiced out amidst the loud music.
“Yeah, baby. I feel you. Bring out more wine let us drink and be merry.”
“Yayyy! Where are the aids, they should join in the celebration too? The more the merrier, don’t you think?”
“Sure. Right after they finish the meat sauce to accompany the drinks,” Li Xiu suggested.
“No worries dear. I would go check-up, on them. It’s on me.”
Right outside the main building of the Li Residence, a black car was parked at the opposite side of the road with a man watching the house through small a telescope.
After a while, he slowly peeled it off from his eyes and looked ahead, letting out a deep sigh. He was not sure why but he was so not happy on so many levels.
For some reason, he felt like driving through the gates if the compound and ramming into their house so they can feel that a disaster did happen.
All of a sudden he felt on his arm and turned around to look at his partner in the driver’s seat. “Let it go.”
“But how can they celebrate at a time like this?”
“Isn’t it obvious? They are happy for what happened to the young miss.”
“Master did really cut them some slack for not raiding and beating them.”
“You know him, Ning. He wants proof before acting.”
“I know and that is what is even more annoying. Everyone that knows the Young Miss knows that her foster family mean her evil. It cannot come as a shocker that they would be involved.”
“Just let it go. We are on standby and awaiting orders.”
“Fine. I would put a call through to him and let him know.”
“Okay.”
Ring!
The call had only just rung when Ye Cheng answered it.
“Master.”
“Yes, any suspicious update?”
“No. Nothing different other than the party they are throwing inside. Obviously, they are happy about the accident. I stand strong to say they are involved.”
“I know they may hate her but they are simple-minded fools. Just stake out there for a while until I can ascertain everything. Call me if there is any other thing that is suspicious.”
“Yes sir.”
Beep!
“I told you, didn’t I? Let it be for now. We would all have our revenge one way or the other.”
***
Up till the fourth hour, Li Jing had still not woken up and it was beginning to bother Ye Cheng.
“Mum, I may have to go see Long lei. It is taking too long for her to wake up.”
“Just try and calm down son. It happens. She is fine. Have faith in Lei. He knows what he is doing. It is all just left to Li Jing to pull through and wake up. At least be glad she wasn’t in a coma.”
“Mum.”
“I know. Okay go and speak to him if it would calm your nerves down.”
“I will. Please keep an eye on her.”
“No need to ask. Now, go blow off some steam.”
Following his mother’s advice, he stood up, ready to leave when his phone started ringing again.
‘Fong Wei Ling. Just what I need.’ Taking a pause, he answered the call.
“Yes, Wei Ling.”
“I have got it. He broke sooner than expected.”
“Great then. So who is it?”
“Your nemesis. The top right-hand man of your worst enemy.”
GAGBAN!
“Hu Donghai, Chairman Zhang’s man.”
Just hearing him mention that name, Ye Cheng’s right hand balled into a tight fist as veins popped out on either side of his head.
“Ye Cheng. Cheng, answer me. Cheng.”
It took him some seconds of calling before he could pull Ye Cheng back from the maddening thoughts in his head.
“Ye Cheng, answer me.”
“Get that idiot and wait for me. I do not care how you do it. Kidnap the bastard already!”
He had forgotten where he was and the people around him and yelled out in anger, startling everyone.
“Find him.”
