Chapter 121 A father’s weakness



Chapter 121 A father\'s weakness

Author\'s Note: Your body is honest. When you are in physical pain. You cry. But the heart is a liar. It stays quiet even when it\'s hurting. Then, when you are asleep, you finally weep and whimper like a dog.

-It\'s okay to not be okay

"She is fine. She is just in a state of shock. Let her rest." Jun Mo said to Mr. Lei whose face was contorted with panic.

Mr. Lei absentmindedly nodded as he gazed at the pale face of his wife. Has he really lost another child in the span of two years? Would fate be this cruel to his family? Mr. Lei didn\'t want to think about it. He refused to believe that he has lost another child. A child was to bury his parent but for a parent to bury his child that was cruel. Something gnawed at his chest. The misery was not quite settling. He wasn\'t ready to accept this fate. Mr. Lei looked like he has aged in the blink of the eye. He sat beside his wife on the bed.

Jun Mo heaved a sigh and left him alone with his wife. When he came downstairs, he saw Henry Liu standing at the bottom of the stairs waiting for him.

"How is she?" Henry Liu asked with concern and panic laced in his tone.

Jun Mo sighed and nodded, "She is fine." He patted Henry Liu\'s shoulders and bypassed him to sit on the sofa. They both turned to look at Edward Wu.

"Lei Zhao. Do you think- he is…." Henry Liu said as fear surged through him and he clenched his fists.

A depressing silence fell between them. None of them said anything. They were all grieving inside. To them, Lei Zhao was more than a friend. He was a brother to them; the one who always told them everything would be okay. Life was really unfair. They felt like a void has been created and that it would never get filled. No one can replace Lei Zhao in their heart.

To say they feel empty or lost was an understatement. A huge gaping hole was forming in their hearts.

Henry Liu, who was the youngest couldn\'t accept this. How can Lei Zhao die? A rollercoaster of emotions swarmed through him, threatening to erupt. He couldn\'t accept the fact that his friend and brother was gone.

He balled his fist and smash it at the wall.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck…" He roared as he punched the wall. Blood started pooling on his hand. Henry Liu had no idea how long he had smashed his fist on the wall. He could feel bile rising in his throat, his vision was too blurry for him to comprehend that he would damage his knuckles if he didn\'t stop. He was refusing to believe that Lei Zhao was gone. He had died without a body.

Lei Zhao wasn\'t dead, he was here with them. Warning him to be careful not to get a girl pregnant. Teasing him that his driving skills suck. Fighting by side. But he was gone. Lei Zhao wasn\'t here.

A comforting hand jolted him out of his mad frenzies. Jun Mo glanced at his best friend and sighed.

"Breaking your hands won\'t bring him back." Jun Mo commented.

Henry Liu looked at him, "Are we just going to give up? We need to find him. I refuse to believe Lei Zhao died in that fire. Edward-" Henry Liu paused as he turned to look at Edward Wu who was sitting on the couch.

There was no emotion on his face, but if you look carefully, you would see his hands shaking. Henry Liu knew Edward Wu was anything but calm at the moment. The calmer he looks the deadlier he is. A sinister smile curved at Edward\'s lips.

With the bloodthirsty look in his eyes, they knew he wouldn\'t let go of this. They all knew Lei Zhao was Edward Wu\'s younger brother. They pale in comparison with how deep their bond is.

The temperature dropped and the air became gloomy.

"You have to find him. You need to find him." Henry Liu\'s voice was soft and pleading as he stared at Edward Wu. Anyone knew he was seconds from breaking down. Edward Wu looked up at Henry Liu and saw his disheveled state. Tears were staining on his cheeks and his hand was bleeding.

Edward Wu was the powerful one in the group. He was terrifying; said to be cruel and unjust. If anyone can get revenge or find Lei Zhao it was him. He was a beast who had no limits. They knew he didn\'t mind causing a ruckus in New York just to find Lei Zhao.

Saying nothing Edward Wu took his phone which had creak from the fall and dialed a number.

"Boss!" The man said respectfully the moment the call was connected.

"Who did Lei Zhao visit before everything happened?" Edward Wu asked as he tapped his fingers on his thigh.

"From the previous investigation, he visited Mr. Andre at his house to sign a contract." The man respectfully replied.

Edward Wu\'s lips curved slightly, "Investigate this Mr. Andre. I want everything about him in ten minutes." Edward Wu said and hung up the call.

"Even if Lei Zhao is dead, I don\'t think he died in that car. He was the captain of the special military force. He wouldn\'t die easily also, Ye Xing was with him."

Edward Wu analyzed calmly. He stood up and started pacing back and forth.

"Lei Zhao has many enemies, but only a few know his real face. Also, he is now married, I don\'t think he would go to a foreign country unprotected. So how did he get in a car accident?"

The curve on Edward Wu\'s stretched further. The bloodthirsty in his eyes grew more, and the air became gloomier.

"How did they know the time to strike at him?" Edward Wu mumbled as anger swirled in his eyes. Then, all of a sudden, he was calm. His eyes still had that sinister glint.

"You mean-" Jun Mo asked.

"Yes." Edward Wu interrupted him.

Henry Liu looked at them with a confused frown on his face.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Edward Wu glanced at Henry Liu and looked at the information sent by his man on his phone.

He looked at it and looked up at Jun Mo. Jun Mo saw the madness brewing in Edward\'s eyes and he knew he has found something.

"What is the weak point of a father?" He asked with humor laced in his tone.

"His child." Jun Mo replied.

Edward Wu nodded.

"Jun Mo, you would take care of auntie and uncle." Edward Wu said calmly.

Jun Mo nodded, "Alright."

"Henry you would handle everything here. Make sure no news leaks about it."

Henry Liu nodded subconsciously.

"Make sure his wife, Yan Mei, doesn\'t hear about this yet." Edward Wu said sternly.

"What should I not hear about?" Yan Mei\'s voice sounded with alarm, making them stiffened.

They all turned to the entrance of the door and saw her standing there with her brows arched.

------------

Yan Mei looked at her phone, and a worried frown adorned her face. She has been calling Lei Xiao Tong this for morning for hours, but she didn\'t pick. At first, Yan Mei thought she was busy, that\'s why she wasn\'t picking up the call, but after speaking to her grandfather she decided to pay Lei Xiao Tong a visit. She couldn\'t help but worry. First Lei Zhao wasn\'t picking up his call, now her mother-in-law too.

Was something bad going on? Yan Mei couldn\'t help but feel anxious. When she arrived, she saw different luxurious cars parked outside. Yan Mei rang the doorbell, but no one answered. Her heart leaped in her chest. It was odd for no one to answer the door. She couldn\'t see any servants around too.

Because Lei Xiao Tong was afraid to leak the news, she had sent all the servants on a holiday. She couldn\'t trust now, and she didn\'t want to take risks too. What if the enemy had planted a mole in her house?

Yan Mei opened the door by herself and walked inside. Her frown deepened when she saw no one around until she heard whispers. The first person she saw when she entered the living room was Jun Mo.

Yan Mei knew him since he is the doctor who attended to her a few days ago when she got sick.

She saw two men too. One was telling them something. They all had a serious look on their face.

Yan Mei heard his baritone. He was telling Jun Mo to take care of Uncle and Auntie.

\'Did something happened?\' Yan Mei just stood there as she heard the man again telling the other guy to make sure the news doesn\'t leak.

\'What news?\' Yan Mei couldn\'t help but feel her heart racing.

Then she heard the man mention her name.

"Make sure his wife, Yan Mei, doesn\'t hear about this." Edward Wu said sternly.

"What shouldn\'t I hear about?" Yan Mei\'s voice sounded with alarm, making them stiffened.

Seeing the surprised look on Jun Mo\'s face, Yan Mei knew they were talking about her, but what should she not hear?

"Sister-in-law." Jun Mo said with shock in his voice. They didn\'t expect Yan Mei to suddenly come here.

"Dr. Jun. What shouldn\'t I hear?" Yan Mei asked, sweeping her gaze across them.

Jun Mo cleared his throat and turned to look at Edward Wu for help.
