Chapter 622 No One To Dress For
************
CHAPTER 622
While all that was happening back at City X, Li Fengjin's plans of cutting off Zhixin's plans were making progress.
Parker had succeeded in convincing most of Zhixin's suppliers and customers that buy drugs and weapons from him. A good deal with good profit for both parties really did the trick, as Parker had said.
However and unfortunately for them, Zhuxin got wind of it. He knew that the biggest gang was stealing his people. But the reason for doing that was unknown.
He was enraged by it. He was losing people and with them went money. And if words get out amongst his men, things will start to get ugly as well.
"Why is that damned bastard doing this? What is in it for him?"
It was until that time he heard of Parker's new ally.
A foreigner to be exact. His looks although hidden, they could discern he is a handsome hunk. Tall, imposing aura and cold blue eyes.
His presence commanded fear and leadership. A certain dread loomed whenever he is around. And he had a good knack for business.
Zhixin has seen a lot of people here in Country P. But none matched that description. And there was only one man Zhixin knew of like that.
Li Fengjin.
It was then it dawned on him that his escape, may have reached Li Fengjin's ears. Now he has come back to get him.
"It is time for a rematch and I will not be losing like the last time," Zhixin said to himself with a creepy grin spreading on his face.
"So he's teaming with someone else to bring me down. My little brother thinks he can outsmart me. How about I pay his pretty wife a friendly visit as revenge?"
Saying that he burst into maniacal laughter. It sent shivers down the spine of the men standing outside on both sides of the door. They wondered what has gotten their crazy boss laughing.
Zhixin inside did not care about who heard him or not. He took up a picture amongst the several spread on his desk. It was a picture of Bai Renxiang.
With his smile still in, he caressed her face in the picture.
"It's no wonder her fell for her. She is so pretty. She's a hot cheek too. I wonder what she feels and looks like in bed. Oh, will he let me find out?" Zhixin spoke to himself.
"Of course, he won't. He is always possessive of his things. But I may find out either way and it all depends on how she will act towards me. He will surely be pissed if I find her pleasing.
But that's the goal. I miss seeing his angry expression and cold gaze. Hehehe. It's so satisfying. Hahaha. I will just remind him how it feels to have what you want to be taken away from you. Better be ready for what is to come, little brother," Zhixin said the last part with a serious and devilish smirk.
~In Parker's mansion~
"I have been able to get more than half of Zhixin's suppliers and buyers away from him. His income source will be running low and start getting noticeable as from the day after tomorrow," Parker informed.
"Why the day after tomorrow? Is there anything going on on that day?" Li Fengjin asked.
"Yes. Particularly, it is the day his supposed goods are to be shipped to him. When he and his men arrive at the southern dock, they will be met with nothing," Parker explained.
"I see. Then his men will definitely know something wrong is happening," Li Fengjin added.
"Yeah and then the veil of money will be taken off of their faces and they will see truth and poverty welcoming them with open arms," Parker flashed his brows at him.
"Then we come in at his lowest and catch him off guard."
"That would be a good plan but I am having an inkling that Zhixin would have heard of what we are doing," Li Fengjin countered after much thought.
"Are you sure?" Parker asked.
"My uncertainty is less than me being sure he knows," Li Fengjin replied.
"Hmm. So we need to act quickly or we should still lie low and wait some more?"
"Acting now is a predictable move. Let's do as planned. When he is at the southern dock, we swoop in and attack," Li Fengjin said.
"Alright," Parker nodded.
"Good. For now, we wait."

The news of Bai Renxiang's pregnancy was known to everyone- close family and friends. And they were all throwing a happy feat for her.
Her mother, Jiang Meilin and Zhao Fu came to support her. Jiang Meilin knew of her predicament. Yet another baby without her husband.
So she came over.
Bai Renxiang took two days off from work. Well, she was forced to do so. Med Li would not take it any other way and everyone else supported the woman.
It was just the first day of staying home and Bai Renxiang was already tired. Bored to be precise. Nothing interested her like they were supposed to.
All she really wanted was for her husband to be by her side. And everywhere in the mansion reminded her of him.
His jokes, his sweetness, his teasing and his laughter always made her feel tingly on the inside.
She missed everything. Nothing was the same without him. So instead of staying at home doing nothing but sitting in the garden, having tea and talking, she decided to go out.
At times when she was down, baking or going out brightens her mood. Even calling Li Fengjin would do the trick.
However, he left without his phone as if he did not want to talk to her. Baking was not helping either because Mrs Li ordered the kitchen staff to not let her do anything.
The last option remained the outing so she went.
"Since I'm not going to work, an outfit as casual and simple should so," Bai Renxiang spoke to herself.
She stood in the middle of the walk-in closet. Her eyes checked out the clothes on each rack. But it did not do much so she started taking them out.
Bai Renxiang made quite a mess of that place before she found something good to wear.
"Having no one to dress for is the worst. These should do. Jin is not here to tell if I look good in it or not," Bai Renxuang grumbled.
She had picked a pair of light brown cargo pants and a round-neck white shirt. Wearing those, she wore a pair of white sandals to go.
"I'm not even in the mood for jewellery now. No make-up either."
With her small sling back containing her phone and other necessities, she stepped out of the room. She carefully walked downstairs and met with her mother and Mrs Li in the living room.
"Mum, momma, I'm going out," Bai Renxiang put up a smile.
She did not want them to bother about her being gloomy.
"Oh, sweetie. Where are going? Do you want me to come with you?" Jiang Meiling asked.
"No, mum. It's just the mall," Bai Renxiang declined and hugged her.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am super sure."
"Honey, at least go with someone. It will be more fun going with someone. Someone your age since us grandmas might bore you out," Mrs Li said.
"Oh, momma. You guys are not boring. Don't say that. I just want to go and come back quickly," Bai Renxiang said.
"Even still. Don't be alone. A friend perhaps. Ask Xiaozhi to go with you, okay?" Jiang Meilin insisted.
"Mum I–"
Her words were interrupted by the ringtone of her phone. She took it out of her back and saw the caller ID. A sigh left her lips.
"It's Xiaozhi," she told them.
"Great. Pick up the call and put it on speaker," Jiang Meilin demanded.
"Okay," Bai Renxiang did as her mother wanted. "Hi, Xiaozhi. Good morning."
"Hi, baby girl. Good morning to you too. How are you? Did you sleep well?" Ning Xiaozhi inquired with concern.
"Yeah, I am fine and I slept well. What about you?"
"The same as you. Hey, why does your voice seem down? What's wrong, bestie?"
"It's nothing. Well, it's just that I–"
"Xiaozhi dear. How are you? This is Meilin," Jiang Meilin took the phone out of Bai Renxiang's hand.
"Oh, mum. I'm fine thank you. I hope all is well for you, mum?"
"It is. Xiaozhi, can you do your mum a little favour?" Jiang Meilin asked.
"I will do anything for you my. As far as it's in my power I do so," Ning Xiaozhi chuckled.
"Aigoo! You are such a good child," Juang Meilun was touched.
"Well, you were good first."
"Hmm. You see dear, Renxiang is planning on going out alone. I don't want her to. Could you go with her?"
"Of course. That's why I called in the first place."
