Chapter 1165: [Bonus chapter] Weakness

"Okay," started Ru after drinking water. "Where were we?"        

    

"You said not everything is fair in life," said Raelle.    

"Yes," nodded Ru. "So, why did I say that? Because poor Jennifer was short-lived. The woman enjoyed the love of her husband and his complete devotion. Mr. Raphael was a devil to the world but a very good husband and father. No external force could deter his love for his wife. Not when people said Jennifer Chi's background wasn't worthy of him and not even when they said that they won't have any children. Whatever people said, he didn't care. He protected his wife from all those words. Sadly, he still couldn't protect her till the end."    

"Why do you say that?"    

"There are two conjectures out there regarding the death of Jennifer Chi. One says she died of illness. And it's true that she was ill. After all, her childhood wasn't good. The root disease couldn't be eliminated completely no matter how much she took care of her health. But after having her daughter, her health was even worse. So, most people do believe that she died because of her illness. However, there is another group of people who share a different opinion."    

"She was killed?" asked Raelle.    

"She was poisoned," said Ru as he looked at Raelle in appreciation. "So many people didn't like her being the wife of Godfather of the Mafia. How could it be possible for them to let it go? You see, wherever there is power and greed, people can go to any limits. Power is very alluring to people. So they can do insidious things without any burden. Genevieve left Country I and came here to study because of her mother's death. She wanted to leave that place. No matter how happy she was, there was always an emptiness considering she wasn't free enough to make friends casually. She had to have people around her when going out. She couldn't date. She couldn't talk to people. There were a lot of restrictions which were indeed for her safety but young girls... They have dreams, expectations, and fantasies. How can they really be happy in that case?"    

Raelle silently took everything in and as she swiped on the tablet that was still in her hands, she found quite a few family photos of Chi Xirui. She looked at Raphael D'Amico in those pictures and no one even had to tell her to know that this man really loved these two women. He always had a gentleness between his brows when he looked at them. And the love was bursting out from those eyes.    

"It's sad how Mr. Raphael really fell once his wife died. That's why even if he was hurt, he didn't stop his daughter from leaving the country in disguise and coming far away to this unfamiliar place to live freely. You know what the most taboo thing in the underworld is?"    

Raelle looked at Ru inquisitively, "What is it?"    

"Having a weakness," answered Ru. "Once you have a weakness, you can be easily manipulated. Underworld is a place filled with coldness. You can never even trust the person who had been with you for all your life because you never know when that person would take the chance to take you down. There might be rules but it's still a law of the jungle like the rest of the world."    

"Are we all living in a jungle?"    

"No, but we are all following the same rules," said Ru seriously. "You either learn to become a hunter or a prey. There is no third option. Even the ones who try to stand aside and watch might end up giving their lives in between a stampede. That's the world we live in."    

"No arguments about that," said Raelle. "Now, I understand why and how Chi Xirui aka Genevieve came to this country. Let's say everything that followed was just the way it was supposed to be. However, she refused to tell my brother that she was pregnant when they met for the last time and even purposely told him things that would make him disgusted with herself. I wonder why?"    

"He might not know this," said Mu Chenyan to Raelle. "You only asked someone to find out Chi Xirui's background. I don't think Mr. Ru here spent time on other details."    

"Then you're underestimating him," remarked Xia Zhao. "Once you tell our Young Master Ru to do something, until and unless he gets to know every single detail, he won't stop. Am I right, Young Master Ru?"    

Ru looked at her uncle's creepy smile but still agreed. "How can I not know? Wouldn't it reduce my credibility if I'm unable to find out the answers to all your questions? How can I be the all-knowing Lord... Ahem!... I mean, Young Master Ru?"    

"You really know the answers?" asked Mu Chenyan strangely. The more she looked at this person, the weirder it was getting. He was already able to get the information that she couldn't. And now, he even knew a lot more than he was supposed to. How?    

To say that she didn't use all her means to find Chi Xirui would be wrong. Mu Chenyan also had her connections in the Mafia but she learned nothing about Chi Xirui even after exhausting all her efforts. But this person seemed to have found everything effortlessly.    

She narrowed her eyes suspiciously. She had a very big doubt about the identity of the person in front of her. In fact, she had a name in her mind but she kept refusing to admit it because Ru's green eyes were throwing her off and making her doubt her own self.    

Suddenly, her eyes were covered by a big hand and a voice came into her ear, "Don't look at him. Don't be bewitched. It's dangerous."    

Mu Chenyan slapped Xia Zhao's hand away and gave him a look, "Really? Am I so easy to be bewitch?"    

"Maybe not, but you should still not stare at him," said Xia Zhao in a low voice. "He doesn't like people staring at him with such a scrutinizing gaze. Don't tick him off."
