Chapter 562 Smelling a betrayal?



Chapter 562 Smelling a betrayal?

Chang Fang stared at Shen Yang.

Jiang Zhen was pleased, but he also wanted to hurry things up. "It's good, but we need to make haste. I don't know what the hell Li Dong and Charles are planning. What if…" he narrowed his eyes. "What if the deal between Li Dong and him is to hand Charles all his clones?"

Shen Yang gave it a thought. "But why would he do that?"

Then it struck him.

"Is he-"

Jiang Zhen gnashed his jaw. "It is possible that Charles could use the clones to take over the American Underworld! That's what that handshake meant! It's a deal between them and Li Dong has only his clones to offer. He will get a huge sum from Charles, and then…if Charles defeats me, Li Dong would also have his revenge on me! Charles will gain control over America and China. Don't take light of Lu Bojing's strength. It would be a disaster if he could fully clone it."

He banged his fist on the bed in fury. "I was stupid to let him take Lu Bojing! I was only focused on Lihua…If I knew what the bastard was planning, I would have killed him myself!

He tiredly leaned back on his pillow, gasping in pain. "I feel like an idiot now. Somebody like Li Dong played me! He fooled me into thinking that he wanted revenge from the Lu family for stealing his woman. But damn!"

Shen Yang smiled. "Rest assured, Boss. So what if he planned this? He thought to give us a surprise attack, but we would be the ones to do that now. We are secretly getting all his clones from Jiming, after all."

Jiang Zhen found some solace in that. But his heart was uneasy.

"Now that Charles is back, we have to speed things up. I cannot rest until I get all his subjects. Once we have them, Yang Mingshen will help us perfect them."

He nodded.

"Leave now. I want to rest."

"Boss, one more thing. It seems that Miss Song Lihua's campaign is working."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I mean we see more and more people coming to the park now to seek her help."

Jiang Zhen chuckled. "And that is supposed to scare me?"

"I just thought of informing you, Boss."

He waved his hand in disdain. "Don't even bother with her. Let her play all she wants. It's not like her stupid campaign would even touch my drugs business. It's all a waste of time. I am letting her do as she pleases because once that child is out of her, she would be forever imprisoned here as my woman."

Chang Fang coldly glared at him.

He sneered. "She won't be allowed to go anywhere so it's like my wedding gift to her. Her freedom until she can have it."

Shen Yang laughed. "Got it, Boss. We will take our leave. Let's go, Chang Fang."

Shen Yang took the lead and stepped out of the room. However, Chang Fang hesitated and kept looking back.

Jiang Zhen snapped in annoyance. "What? You have something to say?"

He opened and closed his mouth but said nothing in the end. "N-No Boss. I will leave."

He did leave at that time but late at night, Chang Fang eventually came back. He knocked on the door.

"Come in," came Jiang Zhen's irritated voice.

Chang stepped in and respectfully bowed.

"It's you. What is it? What the hell are you doing so late?" He uneasily shifted in bed. After his horrible ordeal in the morning, the pain seemed to be subsiding within him.

Chang Fang came forward. "Boss…I…I think I need to tell you something."

"If you are not even sure that you have something to say, then get out."

"No, no!" He hastily corrected himself. "I do have something to say."

P by a"Then out with it already."

Chang Fang clasped his hands together in nervousness and hesitation. "I-It's about Shen Yang. I don't know how to say this…"

Jiang Zhen narrowed his eyes. "Shen Yang?"

He nodded. "I…I…"

"What!? You better not hide anything from me."

"Actually, it's about the clones…"

He frowned. "What of it?"

Chang Fang was even more anxious now that only angered Jiang Zhen.

"Tell me or I will summon Shen Yang myself!"

He widened his eyes in horror. "No! Boss, please don't call him! He will kill me if he sees me here."

"Then don't test my patience!"

He gulped. "Boss, Shen Yang said that we have nine of Mr. Li Dong's research subjects. But that number is incorrect."

"Huh?"

"We should have fourteen clones with us in total, not just nine."

Jiang Zhen blinked. "The hell? How is it fourteen? How can Shen Yang make that mistake? Five less? That's preposterous!"

He stepped back in fear. "I-I know. That's why, I was afraid to tell you. I confirmed it myself. There are supposed to be fourteen subjects. I don't know what he did with the other five."

"Do you take me for a fool that I will believe in you?" His voice sharply rang in the room.

Chang Fang hastily shook his head. "Boss, I am not fooling you! Why would I? I have sworn my loyalty to you!"

He sneered. "Loyalty to me or Wei?"

He cried. "Boss, I don't have anything to do with Jiang Wei now. He killed my gang members. I am not accusing Shen Yang for any hidden purpose. I was just shocked to hear him say nine when we are supposed to have fourteen. If you don't trust me, you can ask Jiming who is replacing the clones for us. Naturally, she won't have the wrong count. She is also reporting to Mr. Yang Mingshen, so she won't make any mistake."

Jiang Zhen felt something foreboding clutch his heart.

First Li Dong's betrayal, then Charles entry into China and now this error from Shen Yang's side.

He gritted his teeth. "Call Jiming right now!"

Chang Fang quickly did so. Jiming's voice was heard. "Yes."

"It's me," Jiang Zhen snatched the phone from him, "Tell me clearly. How many research subjects have you handed to Shen Yang in total?"

Her answer came without any hesitation. "Fourteen."
