The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 140 - The Mafia King Exposes Xia Nuan

Where Lihua was dealing with Jiang Fai's problem in his college, a certain Mafia King had to deal with his own problem too.

That was…

The undercover agent, Xia Nuan, was working in the kitchen along with some other maids when two guards, dressed in pitch black uniform, stepped in. Their faces had no sign of any expression.

"All the maids and butlers are to come with us right now."

The maids glanced at each other, taken aback.

The head maid came forward and asked, "Excuse me. Can I ask what has happened?

"The Boss wants to meet all the staff members right now. Orders," the guard on the left sternly said. "No excuses."

The maids gulped and wondered if anybody made a mistake for the Boss to personally call the whole staff.

Xia Nuan narrowed her eyes.

What must have happened?

The staff was taken to the base where the butlers and maids were lined up. The whole place was dark and reeking of danger. They felt shivers run down their spine, and they trembled.

The Mafia King was seated on his royal chair, casting his discreet and sharp gaze upon them. Fu Renshu stood in attention as he waited for him to speak. Wei tapped his finger on the chair. His gaze shifted from one maid and butler to the other.

Fu Renshu got his cue and nodded at the guards to step back. He squinted his gaze. "The maid who talked to Madam Jiang last night, step out."

Silence.

The maid who had brought the training materials from the Old Madam turned pale. She automatically assumed that either she did something terribly wrong, or Lihua might have complained to him about her.

Fu Renshu warned. "Step out right now."

She jolted, feeling the chilliness emanating from his voice and stumbled forward. "S-Sir. It was me…"

Sweat formed on her forehead.

The other maids lowered their heads and felt afraid of what was about to come. Xia Nuan remained silent and kept watching.

Fu Renshu took two large strides towards her. "Why did you meet Madam when you clearly had orders to stay away from her?"

The maid shivered. She stammered. "Sir, I just went to deliver the materials the Old Madam ordered me to. I-I really didn't want to break the orders but Old Madam…"

"Is it really because of the Old Madam or did you have an agenda?"

The maid blinked her eyes. "I-I don't understand…"

Fu Renshu signaled a guard and he immediately grabbed her arm, pointing his gun at her temple. All the color drained away from the maid's face. The rest of the staff was horrified.

Xia Nuan widened her eyes in shock.

What is he doing!?

The maid burst into tears. "Sir, I don't really understand what you are saying. I-I only handed her the materials."

"And using that excuse, you wanted to talk to her didn't you?"

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she felt bewildered.

Fu Renshu smiled. "Somebody from the staff is an undercover agent in disguise."

Silence. The butlers and maids sharply gasped.

"There were two agents at first. We already dealt with the first one."

Xia Nuan froze. Her blood ran cold, and she inwardly felt aghast. Her mind turned blank.

Dealt with the first one? Song Jia? Was she really caught? Did they really kill her?

She was trained not to give away any of her expression, and she passed with flying colors as she controlled the shock reaction from twitching her facial muscles.

Fu Renshu said, "But we came to know that there is another agent who is still among us here."

The staff was left speechless.

Who would dare investigate the Mafia King? Did they have a death wish?

"That agent is not only here, but they also sent a letter from this house, trying to expose Boss's identity to someone. The first agent who was disguised as a maid was by the name Hua Ling. Her real name is Song Jia."

The head maid widened her eyes.

So, that's why she suddenly disappeared. Master killed her.

She was told that Hua Long had left her job and won't come back anymore. But now she knew the reality.

"She is history now."

Xia Nuan remained impassive but inwardly, she was a mess. She had an urge to cry and break down. Her mentor who she respected a lot had died. She was on the same mission as her, but she couldn't do anything to help her. She couldn't even investigate that she was caught and already…

An insurmountable amount of guilt gushed in her heart. They were so close to exposing him. Song Jia was doing an excellent job but then how did she get caught? Xia Nuan couldn't fathom an answer to this question.

"But there is someone else who is left," his eagle-like sharp gaze coldly looked down upon the maid. "That someone else had tried to contact Madam through a letter. Somehow they got the news that Boss and Madam are dating. So they sent the letter to warn her about him."

He left out the real reason that it was because Lihua was Song Jia's sister, otherwise, it would threaten to bring Lihua's identity into the light.

The maid suddenly realized why she was being called upon like that. Last night too, Wei looked at her so dangerously as if he would kill her the next moment.

He continued. "Now that the madam is here, the maid wanted to meet her and tell her the truth. What better method to make an excuse to get to see her?"

The maid burst into tears. "No sir! I am not that agent. I really went to Madam on Old Madam's orders. Sir, please believe me! I-I am innocent! You can ask the Old Madam…"

He smiled. "Of course, we know that. But how can you prove that you are innocent? Maybe you were listening to her and knew that there was some work to do that involved meeting Madam. So you hovered around her room because you wanted the Old Madam to notice you. If she does, naturally, she will give you the job since you are nearby."

The maid trembled. "No sir. I am telling the truth! I-I really don't know anything about Song Jia or the investigation."

Wei calmly watched everything unfold.

Fu Renshu said, "So you say you're innocent?"

"Yes!" She cried. "P-please let me go…"

"Then tell me who is the culprit?"

The maid was stunned. "Sir, I really don't know anything about this."

Fu Renshu smiled that seemed eerie and dangerous. "Then you have to die."

She froze. Xia Nuan stiffened.

"We want to know who the agent is and if you don't have an answer, then you will have to die. You are the prime suspect after all."

"Sir please…I…"

He nodded at the guard, and he pressed the gun even harder. She begged. "Sir, I am innocent! I am not the agent! I don't know anything about this. I only went to see Madam because Old Madam asked me to. Please sir I beg you…"

"Master!" She cried hard as she pleaded to Wei. "Master, this is all false. Please spare me."

Wei said nothing. Without a single trace of any pity or emotion, he stared at her as if her life or death did not matter to him at all.

"Kill her," Fu Renshu said.

"Sir!" she exclaimed.

The staff had already shut their eyes, not wanting to witness the bloodshed.

The guard nudged the gun on her head. His finger was ready on the trigger to pull it at any second. He slowly pressed it harder and harder.

"Wait!"

A light flickered in Wei's eyes, and they darted towards the voice that just spoke. He lazily looked at Xia Nuan's figure that stepped out in the front. His gaze slightly squinted.

Fu Renshu raised his brow. "Do you have to say anything? Or maybe you know about the real agent?"

Xia Nuan looked at the maid who was balling her eyes out. She was shaking and trembling with extreme fear.

Xia Nuan stood calm and faced him. "She is innocent. She didn't send any letter nor did she have any intentions in meeting Madam."

She clenched her fist.

"It is me."

Silence.

"I am the other undercover agent working with Song Jia," the light in her gaze turned fierce and hateful. "Don't dare touch the maid. Put your gun away."

Wei finally got up from his seat, and his every step carried a sense of danger and alarm. He quietly stood in front of her.

Xia Nuan laughed as tears rimmed her eyes. "What did you do to Song Jia? I want to hear it coming from your mouth."

Wei stared at her and parted his lips. "I killed her."

Xia Nuan froze. She already knew the answer, but somewhere in her heart, she had a tiny hope that maybe she would be alive. Maybe he had only trapped her.

"And now you will kill me, don't you? It's easy, right? There are so many collaterals here and your guards. You can kill anybody here to stop me just like you threatened to kill the maid."
