Wei was unaffected by his burst of anger. Mo Huojin sprang on his feet to attack him, but Wei's men already subdued him in no time. They grabbed his neck and forced him to kneel before Wei.
Mo Huojin protested and fought like crazy. "You bastard! Don't you fucking lay even a finger on my sister!"
"That depends on you," he spoke in a hushed tone. He narrowed his eyes and took a step forward. "I don't want anybody to come in my way of living with Lihua. You and that agent are a threat. I cannot let you two go away like this."
Mo Huojin's face had turned red in anger. He saw his sister at the other side of the glass who was struggling with Fu Renshu's men. She was whimpering and shaking in terror as she sobbed. His younger sister, Mo Hina, was twenty years old and in college who pursued arts.
"If you have anything to say, talk to me!" He spoke through gritted teeth as angry veins popped on his head. "Don't drag my sister into this!"
Wei tilted his head. "My men did talk to you. You refused to respond. You dragged your sister into this."
"Jiang Wei!" He furiously resisted to reach Wei and strangle him, but the guard's hold over him didn't let him move. "Let my sister go!"
"That depends on your answers," Wei calmly said.
Mo Huojin shut his eyes and took deep breaths. Mo Hina was furiously resisting with all her might. But she was simply made to stand there, completely unaware of what was going on. Fu Renshu removed the cloth around her mouth but kept the one around her eyes intact.
"W-who are you people! Why did you bring me here?" She burst into tears. She was suddenly grabbed from outside her college and brought to this desolate base. Her heart pounded in her chest in extreme terror.
"Let me go? I-I don't have any money on me. If somebody happens to me, I tell you my brother won't let you go! He is a police officer! He will find you all in no time!" She tried to threaten them and act strong.
Mo Huojin yelled. "Hina!"
"I-I am telling you to let me go...Bro will not leave you…" she sniffled.
"Hina!"
He blinked his eyes and realized that she couldn't hear him. That other room was soundproof. He glared at Wei with utter hatred. But the Mafia King stood calm and composed.
Fu Renshu squinted his gaze and pulled out his gun. He aimed it at her temple, making him freeze. "You bastard!" He roared like a wounded ferocious beast. His heart hammered in fear and anxiety for his sister.
The message was simple.
Talk or she dies.
Mo Huojin was a strong man but who would stay unaffected when their family was targeted? In fact, his situation was like Song Jia's. He lost his parents at a very young age and he had basically raised Mo Hina all on his own just like Song Jia raised Lihua. Her sister was his only family.
He quietly said as he forced himself to calm down. "I don't know anything."
"I really don't know anything! I wasn't officially a part of her investigation. I was worried about Song Jia because I found out that she wasn't contacting anybody. What I was doing was unofficial and out of my line. There is nothing more to it. I don't know anything about the agent either."
"You read the letter," Wei remarked. "You must have got some hint."
Mo Huojin knew what he meant by that. One's choice of words, tone and language could also determine if that person was a male or a female. It wasn't a sure-shot method, but still a little dependable to narrow down the suspects.
"I don't know. I really don't. He or she didn't reveal anything about themselves. It is quite obvious."
Wei was impassive. "I will still sniff that person out irrespective of your silence. I wonder what fate that will bring to your sister?"
Mo Huojin stiffened. He was close to lashing out at him again, but this time, he maintained his composure. With a deadly serious gaze, he faced Wei and asked, "Jiang Wei. I think you haven't noticed this. So let me bring this to your attention."
Wei tilted his head, waiting for him to speak.
"You have killed Song Jia and have already failed Lihua. It doesn't matter if she knows or not. That truth will not let you live in peace. If you kill any more innocent people, you are just drifting her apart from you even more."
Wei's calm demeanor finally had a crack in it.
I don't like the Mafia King at all!
How could he be so cruel in hurting innocent people?
Lihua's words rang in his ears.
"Truth cannot remain hidden for long, Jiang Wei. I don't know what you did and how you made her marry you, but no amount of lies and deceit is gonna save you. On that day, when she would learn that not only Song Jia, but you killed so many people along the way just to hide your truth, do you think she would still want to be with you?"
The fear crept into his heart once again. That loathsome feeling that threatened his separation from Lihua wormed in his chest, much to his discomfort.
"She will hate you, Jiang Wei. You-"
Suddenly, a brutal punch landed straight on his cheek that stopped his words from leaving his lips. Mo Huojin coughed hard, and his face was tilted to the side. A dark blue bruise already formed with blood trickling down. Mo Huojin had to admit that his punch was power-packed like hell. His guards at the base here nowhere matched his strength.
Fu Renshu widened his eyes and was stunned beyond belief. Wei was calm one moment, and suddenly the next moment, he landed a hit on Mo Huojin's face.
That man must have mentioned that dumb woman! Only she can make Boss react like this.
