CHAPTER 608

"Are you serious? We are talking about your life you know. You were almost killed by your useless girlfriend."

"Ex," Ye Cheng interjected. "Ex-girlfriend."

"Okay, you were almost killed by your ex-girlfriend and then your best friend, and mind you, I hate that Hao Huizhong. That snake had the guts to want to get the company from you during that period."

"Calm down, now you are getting emotional."

"Emotional? Ye Cheng, can you hear yourself? You were never this soft. What the heck happened to you?"

"I fell in love?"

"Bullshit bro. Bullshit. That is why you need to be tougher, for Li Jing and for no one else."

"I know. I was joking. First, I let it slide because they were really dear friends."

"A bloody big mistake. Learn from the mafia way sometimes. If you had taken care of them, you would not be facing these issues today and most people would have learnt by now that you ain't a pushover. This is the business world. They do not mind being monsters to get what they want."

"I am not a monster."

"No one said you should be. Just play their game but not into the killing. Teach them who is boss," Fong Wei Ling advised.

"Noted, noted. I would change. I am changing now. That is why I am doing what I am doing."

"Good."

"For now, get the money sent to their account. I would send it to you. I need to help them start a new life and get me a sound lawyer who is willing to stake their neck out for people. It is time to fight them on all sides."

"Don't you have such a lawyer?"

"I do but he is very busy and now I do not want it to seem like I am fighting them. Get someone, there are lawyers who hate injustice so much. We would fund their investigation and give them lots of proof. All they have to do is be willing to fight."

"That would be easy. There were two lawyers like that who were ready to fight for their case but the people disregarded and refused to file for a trial. It frustrated them but they are still very strong and active."

"Good. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We would use their enemies against them."

"Alright. They have commenced right about now. Sit tight bro, you would soon hear and see for yourself the good news."

"Thanks."

"Nah, what are friends for Besides, it is my own payback for what Zhang did to me and you. He caught one of my men and tortured him before killingly him when I was investigating some of his shady business."

"Hmm. So he has you as an enemy?"

"Yeah just that not being a layer and stuff, I did not want to use the mafia way t bring him down before people think of him as the sain that he is not."

"Cool then. I guess he just built enough enemy to last him a lifetime. It is time to sho whim that."

"That is why I said do not worry yourself with all of this. If you want to help me, book that resort for us. I would sort out the others out."

"Okay, as you wish."

"Oh, and how is my sister-in-law doing? Is she coping? Is it affecting her?"

"Getting better. She is not bitter about it."

"Thank goodness."

It took time but Li Xiu, Ding Jiaying, Bai Qing Mei and Hao Huizhing all woke up around the evening of that day.

For Li Xiu, she did well to dislocate her hand with some mild scratches here and there. Ding Jiaying on the other hand, was lucky to escape with just an injured leg and an injury on her face.

By the time she was able to move, Li Xiu made her way to where her mother's ward was. She was in so much pain and against the nurses advice, she just wanted to see her mother.

"Mum."

"Oh my goodness! My darling!" Ding Jiaying exclaimed when she saw Li Xiu with her broken arm.

It was one thing for her to be injured and another to have her daughter in the same situation as well.

"Li Xiu."

"Mum. Mum, I heard that you sprained your ankle and oh my God." Her gaze fell on her mother's face. The use of bandage there spoke volumes.

According to the information given to her, as they tried to escape after the accident, the car turned a bit and she ended up hitting her face against the broken glass which in turn gave her a nice cut.

She was lucky not to have had any head concussion whatsoever but that scar would e something she would not forget.

"Is it that bad, Li Xiu?"

She gulped, not wanting to scare her mother so bad. "Umm, ahem. Not really. Perhaps they just used a large bandage. Do not mind these nurses." She managed to smile at her, before walking in and going to sit by her side on the bed.

"Umm, mother."

"Yes?" She did not look at Li Xiu. All her mind was simply on her injury. It did hurt her so much, so she did not know if what Li Xiu said was true but she could only wait till it was time to dress it.

"I was thinking. Our accident."

Ding Jiaying paused, dropped her hand from her face and moved her gaze to her daughter.

"It is not an accident."

"I knew it!" Ding Jiaying exclaimed.

"Wait. I may be wrong but I have that gut feeling that it wasn't an accident. I mean, what are the odds? From the gossip I over heard the nurses say, Hao Huizhing and Bai Qing Mei were involved in something similar and almost at the same time."

"You do not mean it."

"I mean every single word of it. I checked the news on my phone and it was true."

"Then it is definitely a conspiracy."

"Yes. Just that, who might it be?"
