The Mafia King's First Love

It was chaos. Everything had flipped over ever since Wei was arrested. The Underworld was falling apart without the Mafia King. The gangs that had violently started disrupting people's lives were now targeting the gangs loyal to Wei. Those who agreed to join in this madness were spared. But those who stood loyal to Wei and refused to become a part of Jiang Shan's faction were facing heavy heat.

Old Madam's tears fell as she trembled and cried. "Is it all over…? We are losing everything out of our control…"

Things had grown worse to the point that Jiang Fai started facing harsh criticisms on Weibo, and many of his fans stopped following his comics and works. Jiang Xiurang was disheartened seeing her son suffer.

But Jiang Fai, on the other hand, was cool about it. "Mom, don't sweat about it. I don't need such fans who easily abandon their idol after things go sour. I have already made an official statement that cousin Wei is innocent, and to have trust in us. Those who don't choose to believe me are their choices. Sister-in-law always says not to mind such fickle people!" He harrumphed.

Jiang Xiurang hugged him hard. "FaiFai has grown so big now…" she sniffled, feeling emotional.

He softly smiled. "It's all because of my awesome sister-in-law!"

Jiang Ruiling and Shen Yang, too, decided to postpone their engagement until this whole mess was sorted out. It was a difficult situation for everybody.

Jiang Ruiling held his hand. "Shen Yang. Please don't take it to heart…"

She was worried he would have grievances about this postponement.

Shen Yang widened his eyes. "Of course, not. I fully support this. How can we celebrate when our family is in such a crisis?"

Her heart softened, and she hugged him.

But the worst situation was Jiang Yubi's. She tried her best to stay strong. But Wei's arrest and the humiliation he was going through broke her heart for her son.

Jiang Weizhe was in full panic mode seeing her cry. "Yubi…"

"How will we get out of this, Weizhe? How will we prove Wei innocent?"

Fu Renshu stepped up, his gaze cold and ferocious. "Madam, leave it to me. I will personally investigate every single allegation against Boss and prove them wrong," he clenched his fist.

Fu Shen, his father, gravely nodded. "Yes, Madam. Leave it to the Fu's to take care of this. Young master Wei won't be in jail for wrong."

Jiang Yubi wiped her eyes and nodded. "Please…"

Fu Renshu glanced at Shen Yang and asked, "How is the situation with the gangs?"

He shook his head. "It's growing worse. I tooky unit to deal with them, but half of my unit was wiped out. They are too aggressive. They even threw small bombs at us to deter us."

Old Madam was horrified.

"The bad news is...Xian Xue has escaped."

"What!?" Old Madam widened her eyes. "H-How?"

He pursed his lips. "One of his loyal followers helped him escape, who was guarding him with the other guards. That guard killed the others and then freed Xian Xue. I saw their dead bodies."

She clenched her jaw in anger. "All this time, we had a snake within us who always wanted to bare his fangs at us!"

Fu Renshu was silent. He took a deep breath. "We cannot chase after him now. Our most important priority is getting Boss out of these false charges before Jiang Shan's power grows and he takes over us."

Jiang Yubi anxiously looked at her husband. "Weizhe. Don't you think we should get Lihua back with us? At least until Jiang Shan is dealt with. All these schemes by him...I am getting a bad feeling. She shouldn't be alone at this time."

Old Madam quickly said, "Yes, yes. Yubi is right. I agree. Or we can send her somewhere away from this city to protect her."

Jiang Weizhe said, "No. I think we should bring her with us. Jiang Shan might be keeping an eye on our movements. We will put her in danger if she is away from us, and we will be in no position to help her if he reaches her."

"No, no," she got afraid. "This makes sense."

Fu Renshu said, "I will immediately go to her apartment complex and bring her-"

"Renshu!" A frightened and distraught voice came from the entrance.

Fu Renshu was startled to see Meng Ya hurrying inside. Behind her, Mrs. Zhang followed.

"Meng Ya…"

She stopped before him, breathing restlessly and tears streaming down her cheeks.

He grabbed her shoulder and asked in a dangerous voice, "Why are you crying? Did anybody hurt you?"

She shook her head, and she wanted to say something. But her voice couldn't let it out.

"Help... Please help…" she sobbed hard.

Jiang Weizhe tilted his head, looking at Mrs. Zhang. "You are Lihua's neighbor-"

Suddenly, he got a bad feeling. Lihua's neighbor and her best friend rushed into the villa at once in such panic.

"Where is Lihua?"

Everybody was now alarmed with his question.

Mrs. Zhang cried. "Lihua... Lihua is kidnapped!"

---

Wei was locked up in a cell. The officer who shut the prison door and sneered. "Now stay rotten here until our Boss personally comes to visit you to decide your fate."

Wei showed no reaction.

From his words, it was clear that he was one of Jiang Shan's henchmen. The whole arrest was a farce, and now that he was captured, the moles began to show their true colors.

"It is going to be a feast to our eyes haha! Just wait for your doom."

"Boss!"

The officer turned and saw Fu Renshu madly rushing towards the cell. Wei furrowed his brows.

"Hey! You are not allowed to come here-"

One bang and the officer collapsed, dead with a bullet in his head. His shirt was soaked with blood, which made it clear that a violent fight had started between his guards and the cops. Wei heard the sounds of gunshots firing one after the other.

"Boss!" Fu Renshu's face was ghastly pale.

"What happened? Is it about the opposing gangs-"

"Madam!" He took a sharp breath. "Jiang Shan has kidnapped Madam Lihua!"
