The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 392 - The Mafia King's Plan Fails

The following morning as Lihua stepped out of the complex, she was surprised to see Wei already standing in front of the gate.

"Liangshi?"

Wei's demeanor beamed, and he gently smiled. "En."

"What are you doing here?"

"I passed by your apartment, so I thought to wait for you. We can go to college together."

"I hope you didn't wait for long…"

He shook his head.

Then a small shadow approached them, and he cautiously asked, "Who are you?"

Little Bobo stood between Lihua and 'Huang Liangshi' as he narrowed his eyes on him. He was wearing his school uniform with his bag hung on his shoulders.

Wei ever so slightly stiffened seeing his long time rival who had also exposed everything to Lihua. But seeing him so protectively stand for him didn't sit well with him.

Lihua smiled. "He is Huang Liangshi. He is my classmate and friend."

Bobo looked up and down and carefully gauged the 'college student.'

She looked at Wei. "He is Xiaobo. We call him Bobo. He is my neighbor's grandson."

Wei stared at him, slightly displeased. But he acknowledged nevertheless. "En."

Bobo said, "You never said that you had a friend by that name."

"Yes, because he has joined just like me. We are in the same boat."

There was a staring contest between Bobo and Wei. Bobo was assessing the threat level this new friend would pose while Wei already considered him as S-class threat level and a roadblock between him and Lihua.

This man…It feels like I have met him before. But I don't recognize him.

Bobo held Lihua's hand and said, "Let's go, Lihua."

Wei blinked. "He is also coming with us?"

"Till the next road signal. We have the same way until his school and the bus stop," Lihua said.

Wei's mouth twitched. He stared at them holding hands together and pursed his lips.

I also want to hold her hand.

They walked silently with Bobo obviously walking between them. Wei silently gritted his teeth. If somebody else had dared to do this, hia dead body would have been already dumped in the river.

Bobo stared at him hard.

This man definitely has impure intentions for my Lihua! Otherwise why would he wait outside? He didn't know how long Lihua would take to come out. But he was still ready. Why are there so many bugs pestering Lihua?

The only ray of hope for Wei was that it was only until the next signal. If he had to bear him in the bus too, he would have gone crazy.

At the signal, Bobo had to take a turn to reach his school. Lihua kissed his cheek and smiled. "Don't be naughty at school, okay?"

"I am a sincere student!" Bobo harrumphed.

He pulled her ear to his side and whispered, "Stay away from your friend."

She blinked. "Ah?"

"Hmph. Don't get fooled by his handsome looks. Don't repeat the same you did by falling for that rich, evil capitalist!"

She widened her eyes. "Y-You! It's nothing like what you are thinking! We are just friends."

He sneered. "I don't think that he thinks that way."

"Bobo, we have just met."

"That doesn't mean anything."

Her mouth twitched. "Anyway, you don't need to worry about anything. There can be nothing between us."

He stared at her. "Because you still like the capitalist?"

She stiffened.

"You will be late to school," she looked away.

Wei impatiently said, "We will miss the bus."

He didn't like them whispering and talking so intimately with each other.

Bobo glared at him.

This man definitely has impure intentions!

He grumpily left. Wei's mood improved as soon as the little threat left. As they waited for the bus, he was eager to see Lihua's reaction.

She will be happy to see no rush.

He nodded to himself. He pictured her happiness, and his gaze softened.

The bus arrived and seeing it from outside, Lihua was dumbfounded to know that it was…

"Empty? Isn't this the rush hour?" She was shocked.

Wei beamed. "You won't have to stand anymore and trouble yourself. This is good."

The conductor greeted them with an eager smile.

Who was one of Wei's underlings in disguise to keep any passengers from boarding the bus.

Precisely, he was Chang Fang, the leader of Shadow Eagle gang, who had accidentally kidnapped Lihua once. And now, Wei chose him to be the area's in-charge and look after Lihua.

"Welcome! Please come in!" He chirped.

Lihua was taken aback.

Why is he so excited?

She got more suspicious.

Chang Fang glanced at Wei expectantly. He was in a disguise so that Lihua wouldn't recognize him.

Boss, Boss! I did as you told. I am doing a good job, right? I didn't allow a single pest to come inside! I also welcomed Madam with utmost respect just like you ordered.

Wei signaled his agreement, feeling satisfied.

"Mam, please step inside," Chang Fang respectfully said.

Wei said, "Let's go."

Lihua pulled him aside and whispered, "We shouldn't board this bus. Let's wait for the next one."

He blinked in confusion. "Why? The bus is empty."

"This is a scam."

"..."

"How can there be not a single passenger inside? This is the peak hour, and today, we don't have any holiday either. So why is the bus empty? Plus this conductor is suspicious. Why is acting so respectful out of nowhere as if he knows me?"

"..."

"I think this is a scam to kidnap us! What if they want to take us to a deserted location and then do bad things to us? He is just acting to gain our trust."

"..."

Lihua seriously said, "So let's ditch this bus and wait for another."

Wei gulped. "Having an empty bus is dangerous?"

"It doesn't make sense at all. This whole charade is giving me a bad feeling. They definitely want to kidnap us! The empty bus and the overly nice conductor are suspicious."

"So you won't mind if there is a crowd inside?"

"Of course not. A crowd is more desirable than traveling in an empty bus. Having more people feels safer."

Wei blankly stood at his spot. "I see…"

He coughed. "Give me a moment."

She nodded. "We have time till the next bus."

Wei walked into a corner, feeling defeated. He immediately called Chang Fang.

"Boss! I did a good job, right? Why aren't you coming inside?"

Wei pursed his lips. "Lihua finds an empty bus to be suspicious."

"Ah?"

"So find some people and stuff them in the bus."

"..."

"H-How will I find them?"

Wei blinked. "I don't know."

"B-But I just cannot tell some random people to come in the bus out of nowhere…" he sweated.

"Then drag them inside."

"..."

"But I want to see a crowded bus now," and he hung up.
