The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 557 An enemy of the enemy is a friend

Jiang Zhen's breaths calmed down after Mingshen jabbed an injection into him.

"Can you not jab it a little gently!?"

He could see a tiny blue bruise forming at the spot where he stuck the injection. The bruise itched badly.

Mingshen mockingly laughed. "The Mafia King cannot handle an injection?"

He glared at him. "I can handle that teensy injection just fine, but what fuck was with that pressure? You were plunging it like a knife. Were you killing me?"

"Aww~ The new Mafia King cannot handle pain. During the good old times, Jiang Wei never used to let out even a syllable out of his mouth. Forget a syllable, his expression won't even twitch no matter how hard I poked. And hard I did it everytime~ You know? To take my revenge whenever he annoyed me."

He clicked his tongue. "But that bastard's pain bearing capacity is off the charts. Yang Mingshen always lost. But I won today! Celebration!"

"You…"

It was humiliating to be compared to Wei. He seemed like a wuss who couldn't bear an injection while Wei didn't twitch a muscle.

Mingshen sighed. "I miss my Spicy. I wanted to celebrate it with her. But oh the distance between us makes my heart ache…"

Jiang Zhen could only grimace. Mingshen looked like a lost, tragic lover that didn't suit his image of a vicious, devil doctor at all.

Mingshen was lost in his tragic thoughts when his eyes twinkled with an idea. A wide grin settled on his lips that Jiang Zhen only found to be creepy.

He got up and turned on his heels.

"Hey, where are you going!?"

Mingshen narrowed his eyes. "You are already fine. What? Do you expect me to babysit you for the whole time? Your wife is here for that."

He glanced at Jiang Hua and smiled. "Right? Momma Hua?"

Jiang Hua said nothing.

Mingshen sneered and left.

She quietly poured him a glass of water and offered it to him, but Jiang Zhen threw it away. The water splashed and the glass broke into pieces.

"Get out! Go care about your son! That's what you are in this house for, right?"

She pressed her hands together and tremblingly said, "Ruru…He is your son too-"

*SLAP*

Her head tilted to the side, and her eyes stung with tears. Her cheek burned as if it was on fire. She felt her heart stop beating and her body freeze as if ice surrounded her.

"That useless son is not mine. How dare you talk back to me? Are you growing wings because Lihua is here?" His threatening voice rang low in the air. "Do you think you can talk to me like Lihua can? Don't get ahead of yourself, and don't forget your place."

She shook hard. Her mind and gaze went blank.

"Get out already!"

Jiang Hua silently turned on her heels and left. She shut the door behind her and let the tears slide. But more than her eyes, her heart felt like it was stabbed and squeezed until it bled.

Back in the room, Shen Yang and Chang Fang hadn't uttered a word.

Chang Fang silently gnashed his teeth witnessing what happened earlier.

Fuck this psycho! Who the hell hits their wife like that!? I feel like crushing his neck!

Jiang Zhen brought his attention to the two and glared at Shen Yang. "Shen Yang! What kind of a hotel did you book our reservation in?"

He gulped and lowered his head. "Boss, please punish me for what happened. But it's the best five star hotel in the city. It's the standard hotel where all rich people go. Naturally, I meant to choose the best for you-"

"Oh and your best means the chef fucking up my food!? The best means a scorpion climbing on my back and trying to poison me!"

Shen Yang gritted his teeth. "These accidents have never happened before, Boss. I-I really don't know what went wrong."

"Oh, I know about that. Charles Miller's. He went wrong."

Chang Fang frowned while Shen Yang blinked in confusion.

"Charles Millers…from America?"

"Who else would I be talking about?"

"That cannot be. He is in China?"

"That fucking bastard even had dinner with me with his date! The nerve of him to act like that…" he clutched the bedsheet in his fist, a furious storm swirling in his gaze.

Jiang Zhen took a sharp breath. "It cannot be good news. If Charles is here, he is fucking planning something! My worst enemy from America is here, and he wouldn't have any intentions? He definitely wants to take revenge from me. But I don't understand. Who is he working with? He has no power now. How can he think of defeating me alone?"

There was silence for a moment.

He narrowed his eyes. "Is Wei behind all this?"

Chang Fang's expression didn't twitch a bit, but inwardly he was panicking.

If I tried to diffuse the suspicion, he would begin to doubt me. I will get into trouble.

But if it is Shen Yang…

Shen Yang immediately said, "That is not possible, Boss. I regularly take updates from the guards placed at the other villa. They have reported that Jiang Wei is still locked in his room, and has never gotten out. He has become crazy. He cannot think for himself anymore."

"Then who is it!? Who would dare to mess with me?"

Shen Yang gave it a thought and froze.

"Boss…could it be…"

"What? Stop with suspense and spit it out!" He impatiently exclaimed.

"Mr. Li Dong?"

Jiang Zhen squinted his eyes.

"Boss, Jiming, who Mr. Yang placed in his base, said that he is making an army of Lu Bojing's clones to overthrow you. What if he is taking Mr. Millers' help? Or maybe…Mr. Millers contacted him and made a deal with him. Right now, Mr. Li is secretly planning to defeat you so he is your enemy and Mr. Millers too because you took over the American Underworld. What if they have joined hands?"

He tilted his head. "So an enemy of an enemy is your friend?"

"Yes."
