The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 384 - The Mafia King's Hired Teacher

"Boss, are you sure we should let Shi Ruomei go?"

Fu Renshu said as he followed Wei along the campus corridors the next day. They tried to gain information from Ruomei about Jiang Shan and his plans, but she wasn't ready to say anything. Eventually, he let her go, which came as a shock to Fu Renshu and Shen Yang. They thought he would torture the answers out of her, but he didn't.

"What if she says that we caught her and Jiang Shan makes his next move?"

Wei stopped. "He won't. Not so soon. He is waiting for me to go to jail. He wants the Underworld to become weak when he attacks it. He is patiently waiting."

"But sooner or later, he would come to know that you are not in jail."

"If that's what he wants, that's what he will get," he quietly said and meaningfully stared at him.

Fu Renshu straightened up and nodded as he understood. "Yes, Boss."

Then hesitation flashed in his eyes. "Boss, do you think he will keep your grandfather alive? For Jiang Shan, his use is over. His plans failed to keep the family under control through Old Madam."

"He will. Grandpa can still be of use to him to covet the Underworld by blackmailing Grandma and our family. He is still his chess piece. He won't throw him away until he gets the throne and for sure knows that nobody can challenge him."

His words made sense.

Wei tilted his head. "I have set Ruomei free, partly as compensation for ruining her life and partly because she will be useful to us."

Fu Renshu nodded.

She was the only link to Jiang Shan for now.

"Who will be useful to you?"

Wei froze as he heard Lihua's voice from behind him. Fu Renshu also stiffened.

Wei slowly turned and looked Lihua in the eye, who was politely smiling at him. But his fear was blown away the moment he saw the dark circles under her eyes. He could still faintly see the mark of her tears at the corner of her eyelashes.

"Did you cry?"

Lihua shook.

H-How did he know?

She unconsciously touched her eyes.

Do my eyes look red?

Lihua quickly said, "Of course not. Just some dirt got into my eyes."

Wei blankly stared at her. "Why did you cry?"

"I-I said I didn't cry. Why would I, haha…?"

She clutched her bag. Truth to be told, she did cry last night. Again. Because of Wei.

The more days passed by without him, the more she missed him. She missed everything about him. His embrace, his warm and adorable smile, his doting gaze and his loving kisses. His absence felt like a gaping hole in her life. She tried to distract herself by studying. She kept studying and studying, but she always wished how nice it would have been if Wei had been there to cheer her up. To motivate her. To tell her to do her best.

Life was hard without Wei, just as it was hard without Jia.

Fu Renshu silently tugged him and signaled not to ask any further.

"Lihua! The principal is calling us," Meng Ya came rushing towards her. She noticed the odd atmosphere and frowned. "What's wrong?"

Fu Renshu, aka Hao Ziruo, coughed. "Nothing. We just met her outside. You were saying something about the principal?"

"Oh yeah. Good that you two are here too. The principal has called us into his office."

Lihua asked, "Why?"

"He said he wants to introduce us to someone."

Inside the principal's office, the four stepped in and saw a woman seated in a chair opposite the principal.

She turned and smiled.

The principal coughed as he threw a glance at the disguised Wei and Fu Renshu. "I was expecting you. Please come in."

Lihua asked, "You called us, Sir?"

"Yes. Meet this lovely lady, Miss. Ji Da Xia. She will be in charge of personally teaching your subjects and training you for your exams. She is a professional in mass communications and PR."

Also the head of the PR department in Jiang Industries.

Lihua and Meng Ya were taken aback.

"Personally? But why?"

He cleared his throat. "I thought about it and found that your situation is indeed difficult. So if an experienced professional comes to teach you, it will be easier for you."

Ji Da Xia got up and offered her hand. "Hello. Pleased to meet you."

"Hello…" They shook their hands.

Ji Da Xia's gaze shifted towards Wei and Fu Renshu, and she unconsciously straightened up.

Fu Renshu narrowed his eyes and ever so slightly nodded.

Not a word out.

She coughed.

To see the Boss disguised as a college student…

This was a novel experience for her. The charismatic CEO of Jiang Industries was acting as a twenty-two years old youngster.

Lihua said, "This is too sudden. I don't want to trouble anyone. I can manage it…"

Ji Da Xia said, "It's no trouble at all. I am happy to groom you. The principal has praised you a lot."

And so has the Boss, She added in her mind. He spent three hours just praising you; her mouth twitched.

"We need capable people in the field," she smiled. "I trust my judgment."

Lihua hesitated. "But it will be partial to other students…"

The principal said, "It won't. Your situation is different from theirs. They have done their regular classes, but you have only a month. That's why I am helping you."

Meng Ya brightened. "It's a good idea. We really need all the help we can."

"Yaya…"

Meng Ya harrumphed. "Lihua. Do you want to pass or not? Do you not want a job as soon as possible? Plus, learning from a professional is better than textbooks."

Lihua bit her lip.

That is true...

Wei quickly said in a concerned voice, "You should take it. This way, it won't be stressful for you."

She looked at him, surprised. "Only me? Aren't you included too?"

He stiffened. "Y-Yes. Me too...I mean for us. It won't be stressful."

Fu Renshu breathed a sigh of relief.

Lihua thought about it. "Alright then...By the way."

Ji Da Xia smiled. "Yes, Miss Lihua?"

"Where do you work?"
