The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 436 - Who Needs To Be Questioned

Jiang Ruiling was fuming in anger. She never imagined that somebody would dare accuse Shen Yang of betrayal.

Xian Xue gritted his teeth. He picked his phone and said, "I have the evidence, young mistress. Turning your head away isn't going to change it."

Silence.

It was shocking to see Xian Xue talking to Jiang Ruiling in that tone.

She angrily laughed. "Do you really deny that you are jealous of him?"

Xian Xue stiffened. His finger clenched into a fist, trying to reign his anger. "I have no business being jealous of Shen Yang."

"You do. That's why the first thing you did was throw accusations at him."

"Young mistress, do you think that Shen Yang meeting the woman secretly who made such ridiculous accusations at the Boss is a trivial matter? He said nothing about the meeting to the Boss. If he is innocent, then why didn't he? He knows that we are searching for that woman, yet he met her but didn't inform us of anything."

"Then, of course, it's a misunderstanding. And I will clear it right now."

Jiang Weizhe rested his chin on his palm. "Call Shen Yang."

A few minutes later, Shen Yang stepped in and was puzzled seeing Xian Xue with everyone.

"Boss," he stood in attention.

Jiang Weiyuan said, "Xian Xue has some evidence against you."

Shen Yang blinked. "What evidence?"

Xian Xue showed him the video. A faint light appeared in Shen Yang's eyes as he saw himself talking to the woman.

"Care to explain, Chief?"

Shen Yang remained calm. "Yes, I met that woman."

"Of course, we can see that. The main question is what you talked about such that the next thing that happened was the ridiculous blame she put on Boss?"

Shen Yang respectfully Jiang Weizhe and Jiang Weiyuan and said, "It was my contact who found out the woman's location. I went to meet her to gain information on why she was charging this accusation since Boss isn't involved in the prostitution business at all. At first, she refused to say anything, but when I cornered her, she admitted that she worked for Jiang Shan."

Old Madam widened her eyes.

"Of course, her accusation is baseless, but we won't be able to prove it."

Xian Xue asked, "Oh really? And then you just let her go?"

"No. I wanted to take her back to the base. I was sure under Boss's questioning, she wouldn't hold for long. But she threatened, saying that if I tried to harm her, that message would automatically go to Jiang Shan. He has made preparations to harm any of the Jiang family members if she goes missing."

He smiled. "Jiang Shan isn't even in China. Do you think he can really harm someone on Boss's turf?"

"I am not sure how he is doing it. But I believed her. Jiang Shan has been planning his return for decades. Naturally, he must have made some arrangements in China over the years to control the situation even from abroad. Since the safety of the family members was involved, I didn't dare to act rashly. So, I let her go."

"But you didn't inform the Boss of anything about this."

"I was on another important mission on which I was working. I didn't get the time. But even so, it changed nothing. The PR manager, Ji Da Xia, has already told us about her. It was a matter of time before she would lodge a complaint."

Xian Xue smiled. "Oh really? And what was this important mission that you conveniently forgot to inform Boss?"

Jiang Ruiling narrowed her eyes. "You won't give up, don't you?"

Shen Yang said, "It's okay. I have nothing to hide anyway. It was to find out who bribed the prisoner to attack the Boss that day. Mo Huojin told us that someone had disguised as the instructor and handed the prisoner Boss's picture to recognize him. We are pretty sure that he must be only the mole within us."

Jiang Weizhe asked, "Did you learn anything?"

"Yes. That's why it's my turn to question Xian Xue now."

He narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"The prisoner had said that there was a scar at the back of the trainer's neck. Xian Xue. That day you beat one of the guards, and I reprimanded you; I had seen a similar mark on your neck."

Silence.

"You had a scratch mark on your neck. I thought it might be just a coincidence. But then you were absent from your duties the same day it happened. Can I ask where you were that day?"

Xian Xue said nothing.

"I had my own business to attend to."

"This isn't helping when we have suspicions of a mole within us."

Jiang Ruiling sharply said, "Don't shy away from giving answers now. Now that he is asking you questions, why are you staying mute?"

His irises darkened as if a storm was brewing in them. He stared at Jiang Ruiling with hostility.

"Xian Xue," Jiang Weiyuan warned him.

"I was out to meet a friend."

Shen Yang asked, "Which friend?"

He sneered. "Apologies, Chief. But this is my personal matter. I asked you questions about a secret meeting with a suspicious woman. Not something personal like what you might be doing with your fiance."

Jiang Ruiling was really irked by his attitude.

"I work for the Jiang family, but I have the right to my privacy. You have no business asking me about my friends, parents, siblings, or whatever."

Jiang Ruiling smiled. "Oh really? Then what if you turned out to be Jiang Shan's lackey? Don't give a convenient answer like privacy and try to guilt-trip us."

His gaze glinted in anger, and he took sharp breaths.

This woman…One day I will really...

"I think you are the one we thoroughly need to question."

Shen Yang said, "There is no need. Even if he doesn't answer about his whereabouts, I have other evidence. I had disguised myself and asked some people who reside in the same colony as him. One woman from the opposite building had seen him throwing some trash one morning.. According to her, what he threw were similar clothes that that fake instructor had worn for the prison training."
