To Love You Again

Chapter 143 - Problem Sprout Midway

"So, you still won\'t speak?" A handsome man in his late twenties was sitting opposite to Gi Pieng.

He was Liu Fung. The man that Gi Pieng was tailing since last week.

He was one of the investors with 5% share.

Gi Pieng was very capable when it comes to digging someone\'s information. So for the one whole month of Liu Fung\'s schedule, he checked every single day of Liu Fung.

That\'s when he found out that Liu Fung seems to change cars when he comes to the LG club. When he was watching all the CCTV footage nearby Liu Fung\'s company, mansion, hotels, and restaurant that he frequently visits,? he discovered this unusual trait of Liu Fung.? While he was watching he found out that Liu Fung came in some hotel with his usual car but came out with a different car. He only found out about it because he did not see the car leaving the hotel for days when Liu Fung appeared on his regular restaurant.

This makes no sense and made Gi Pieng, the curious cat, to investigate more. He shared it with the other three owners. So when the assigned task finished, they help him gather information and finally found the routine of Liu Fung.

This made him doubt more so he increased the span. That\'s where Gi Pieng discovered that Liu Fung had been changing cars when he goes to LG club. And it was happening ever since.

Gi Pieng thought this place was very fishy. So he stayed more in this club almost every day. Not knowing that he caught the attention of the very owner of this club.

And it backfired to him. The owner or the manager of this club somehow found out that he was tailing Liu Fung.

And now, even he wanted to run away from this club, he couldn\'t. Gi Pieng looked sideways at the strong bodyguards at the side. They were in a closed private room. There\'s no way he could run away.

"So speak out already. If not, that person in the floor will suffer. Why are you tailing me?" Liu Fung said with a boring expression. He looked like he was playing with no interest.

Gi Pieng did not answer. He doesn\'t know what to answer! He looked down at the man sleeping on the floor.

Lin Ruo was playing dead. He was knocked out earlier after he asked the waiter if they saw someone like Gi Pieng. Now he woke up but choose to lay down to escape the interrogation. He shuddered when he heard that he was the one who would suffer. But he couldn\'t sell Xiong Zhi so he chose to pretend sleeping.

Gi Pieng was really envious of Lin Ruo. Should he play dead as well?

A knock sounded and one of the guards opened it. It was a man in a black suit. Judging how he moved and how the guards treated him he might be a butler of some influential figure.

Gi Pieng\'s suspicion intensified when Liu Fung threw away his disinterested expression and become polite.

"Has the boss settled well?" Liu Fung stands up and moved aside to let the incoming man sit on his seat.

"No need. The boss is in the upper room. He is getting impatient." Then the man leaned to Liu Fung to whisper something.

"What?! What\'s the media doing here?!" Liu Fung was terrified. Then he looked down on Gi Pieng.

"You! I don\'t know what SHM company you are! But I f#cking hate reporters! Tell me! Who sends you to tail me?! How do you know I\'m here?"

Gi Pieng and Lin Ruo were shocked.

The two of them haven\'t spilled anything yet. Even Gi Pieng has been here for almost five hours he did not confess anything. He just only repeated he doesn\'t know them. They took their phones and belongings. But since they were very experienced in tailing someone, they were very cautious. They don\'t bring their private cellphones and they don\'t bring any belongings that may identify them. But these people already knew where they come from (SHM ) just within five hours!

"They are not only reporters. The two of them are owners." The man beside Liu Fung said calmly.

"!!!!" Not only Gi Pieng and Lin Ruo was shocked. Even Liu Fung was shocked too.

"This..." Now Liu Fung could not take it lightly. If the owners of the media company was tailing him personally, it means it\'s not just only about him. It might be related to a bigger matter. It might be related to this place. Or to his boss.

"Master is very impatient. It\'s your turn to meet him." The man said. Then he glanced at the two before he left.

Liu Fung\'s brow was furrowed. He needs to get answers now.? But he needs to meet his boss first.

"You. Take your time to make out all your lies. I will question you later. And also, you, how long do you pretend to sleep? Once I came back I need all answers. If not, prepare for the worst." Liu Fung left these words as he went out.

Lin Ruo opened his eyes. It reflected how terrified he was. It seems like they unintentionally discovered a mine. But it\'s not a gold mine. It\'s a mine that if they went deeper, they would never be able to go back.

*****

Liu Fung took a deep breath as the bodyguard opened the door for him.

His boss was seating and drinking wine as usual.

"You let me wait for five minutes. It seems letting you borrow Butler Huo for a while is not worth it?" Lu Jin said coldly. He hated it when he lends his own people yet the other party did not seem to gain anything after borrowing them.

Four hours earlier, Butler Huo received a call from Liu Fung asking him to investigate a person. Since his young master and Liu Fung would have an appointment later, Butler Huo told him that he would give the result in the appointed time.

Lu Jin\'s team was very capable. They got the result immediately just by the plate number of the car. Even though the car was borrowed from car shop, they were able to follow the trails and traced it back to SHM. From that, the investigation becomes smoother.

"How useless." Lu Jin commented.

"I\'m sorry boss. They don\'t spit out anything else. But since they are owners, I\'m afraid it\'s not just about me." Liu Fung said.

"Are you passing the problem to me? " Lu Jin\'s voice got colder if that even possible.

Liu Fung sweated.

"N-no, boss. I\'m saying is they might have found traces of our deals."

Lu Jin was silent. He was annoyed. It was clearly Liu Fung\'s fault that he lead those annoying rats in his club. He looked coldly to Liu Fung. Thinking of what punishment he should give. And what kind of method he should deal with those owners. If it was his father, he would kill the owners without much regard to their backgrounds then design it like it was an accident. If it was Guan Gao Huan, he would let them go and play with them for a bit. If proven they know so much, he would lead them to their deaths. Both are cruel ways but it was the best thing to do.

However, Lu Jin doesn\'t think so.

"I will handle them. If I pass it to you who knows what kind of problem you will make. " Lu Jin knew well Liu Fung\'s characteristic.

Liu Fung was a playboy in upper society. A gangster in his club, but a coward when it comes to life. He could not entrust these dirty deeds such as killing to Liu Fung.

Liu Fung was a young master of his family after all. He was well-sheltered.

Liu Fung just nodded. He was not really confident that he could pull off tricks against the two owners. He was just good at obeying orders.

They let the matter of tailing in the back of their mind and talked about their business first.

After their discussion, Liu Fung hesitatingly asked.

"Boss, if someone came to me again like them, what should I do?"

"Just contact my butler. He will tell you what to do." Lu Jin shooed Liu Fung.

Lu Jin thought badly of Liu Fung. He was not that really smart. But the thing that let Lu Jin work with him was that Liu Fung knew his limit well. He dare not to overestimate his ability. He was the perfect example of a person who could work under him with obedience without questions.

When only Lu Jin and his butler left, Lu Jin spoke.

"Tell me about those tails."

"They are owners of SHM company. They just recently made it big because of CJ\'s case." Butler Huo answered while browsing the files that the team sent.

"CJ\'s?" Lu Jin found this name familiar.

"Yes. It is the jewelry shop that recently got bankrupt."

CJ was a hundred-year-old company but it was only a jewelry shop in the eyes of Lu Jin and his butler.

"And it was also the company where your father smuggled diamonds."

Lu Jin closed his eyes.

"Was it the CJ company where we retrieved the file before?"

"Yes. Lola said that she encountered some problems at that time." Butler Huo answered.

Lola was the hacker in Lu Jin\'s team. She was a great hacker that he managed to rope in. All his files, especially his father\'s file regarding the shady business are all heavily protected.

This was a big matter. It was not a coincidence that the SHM media who made the CJ bankrupt was only tailing Liu Fung. Maybe the big fish they were trying to catch was actually him or if they want a bigger fish, it was his father. They only got a small lead from CJ but they came so far. Even pointing fingers at him.

He might be overthinking. But he learned to think for the worst.

But that SHM..could not afford that by themselves.

"You told me that they made it big just recently?"

"Yes."

"Even they are that capable, they won\'t be able to make it big in less than a year without a backer. "

Lu Jin thought more.

There is an easy way to find out who their backer is.

"Let them go. Let\'s see where they will lead us." Lu Jin said coldly.
