The Mafia King's First Love

Mingshen sat on the couch, spreading his long legs in the front, one foot on top of another. He tilted his head as he stared at Su Liao from head to toe. Beside him, Jia's mouth twitched seeing him act as an arrogant king.

Yang Bingqing suspiciously looked back and forth between her son and the unknown woman.

A shiver ran across Jia's spine feeling Yang Bingqing's sharp gaze on her.

Ugh. She hasn't recognized me, has she?

Yang Bingqing elbowed her husband. Yang Cheng shrugged, pointing that he didn't know about her. Her heart was practically in curiosity to confirm if the woman was Jia. But she had to hold it in.

Su Liao smiled. "Mr. Yang Mingshen. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"It's not a pleasure on this side."

His smile froze.

"I don't like unnecessary people hovering in my mansion."

"My Boss is not an unnecessary man, Mr. Yang. Especially, after he formally takes over the Underworld throne, your family will be deeply connected to him in the future."

Mingshen smiled. "That depends on a lot of things, Mr. Nobody."

Su Liao's brow twitched.

"You know, my Grandpa once told a story to me. Do you want to hear it?"

"Mr. Yang, I am here to discuss-"

"So, years ago, the Yangs were faced with a similar situation. Once upon a time, there was a smell of upcoming war in the air."

This man...does he not listen?

Jia observed his expression and couldn't help but feel pitiful for him. It wasn't an easy feat to talk with Mingshen.

Mingshen continued. "So, the Jiangs at that time were quite persistent to have our support. When we didn't give them the answer they wanted, they did a stupid thing of threatening my Grandma. What do you know about us?"

Su Liao was puzzled with the sudden question dropped on him.

Wasn't he telling his story?

"You see, Mr. Nobody. It was a mess when Grandpa got berserk. The Jiangs lost a lot of their useless men at that time. So, what is the moral of the story?" Mingshen lazily placed his chin on his palm.

Su Liao's smile faltered. "I don't understand."

"I don't expect you to because you are a nobody."

You!

Mingshen chuckled. "The moral of the story is that we Yangs don't like to be TOLD whose side we should be on. We decide that by ourselves. If you snatch that freedom from us, then we go berserk like my Grandpa did."

Su Liao gulped, feeling the pressure. It was an eerie smile on Mingshen's lips that made him unable to move.

"We choose one side or we choose to be neutral. That is my decision, not your Boss's. Tell him to pull that shit over someone else. But! If you offer something worthwhile to be on your side, then I can consider," Mingshen yawned. "The Yang family is where the wind blows."

Su Liao immediately said, "And the wind is on Boss's side. Jiang Wei has admitted his defeat."

Mingshen raised his brow.

The mention of Wei made Jia stiffen and clench her fists.

She narrowed her eyes.

Give up?

Su Liao added. "There are only benefits for you, Mr. Yang. We know that the Yangs dedicate themselves to research, but…" he smiled, "Some laws prevent you from fully utilizing your potential. Jiang Wei's Underworld didn't deal with drugs, but we do. It will be a piece of cake to arrange whatever drugs you wish for."

Mingshen waved his hand. "Boring. I can already synthesize all types of drugs I need in my lab."

Su Liao widened his eyes. He quickly said, "Boss will help you set up hospitals abroad where, of course, you don't have to worry about doing anything illegal."

Mingshen yawned. "Do you think I, Yang Mingshen, is incapable of doing that?"

"No, no. Of course not," Su Liao smiled. "What I mean is you won't have to worry about research subjects. We have all types of rare individuals whose blood and organs are extremely valuable for research or trade."

Mingshen narrowed his eyes.

Su Liao thought he got his chance. "I assume you know about Li Dong."

Yang Bingqing froze. She whispered to Yang Cheng. "Cheng! He was the same man who tried to kill my Mingshen two years ago!"

Yang Cheng quietly nodded.

Su Liao said, "Li Dong has accumulated quite a few precious individuals over the years. He is a mad doctor, for sure, but his 'assets' are quite useful. Naturally, it will all be yours if you join hands with us."

Mingshen smiled. "Do you take me for a fool, Mr. Nobody? I am pretty sure Li Dong is working with your Boss. Otherwise why would that measly doctor attack me that day? It was Li Dong who sent him, right?"

Su Liao cleared his throat.

"And now you are selling him out to me? Aren't you so quick to betray? Did you tell Li Dong that he will get all my 'assets' if he joined hands with you? Same offer, different targets~"

"Mr. Yang. That was Mr. Li's own doing. My Boss and he had a big argument over it too. We don't want such an unstable man to be our partner, so…"

"Welcome to Yang's, is it?" He chuckled.

Su Liao silently gritted his teeth.

Come on...Agree to it already! Boss will kill me if you refuse! I cannot prove to be useless in front of him!

"I accept," Mingshen declared.

Yang Bingqing gasped. "Yang Mingshen! How dare you! Don't forget that Yubi is my friend! I would never allow our family to go against hers!"

Mingshen dryly looked at her. "Mom, stay out of this. The Jiangs are drowning, and I don't want to sink with them. If you wish, you can happily drown with your friend, but don't drag me into it. Just don't forget to make my favorite pepperoni pizza one last time as your memory."

Jia wanted to puke blood.

This monster…

Yang Bingqing trembled in rage. But Yang Cheng held her. "Be calm. Let him do what he wants."

Mingshen looked back at Su Liao. "My support is not for free. I have two conditions."

Su Liao blinked. "What conditions, Mr. Yang?"

He smiled. "First. Your Boss has captured two people, and he needs to set one of them free. Second. I want all the information on Li Dong. Every last bit of it.. But since you are still playing your friendship-friendship game with him, you will take my girlfriend with you for her to do the task."
