“What if someone hacked into your cameras and deleted the footage?” Ah Ao asked directly. They were used to doing things like that. Any hacker worth their salt would know how to do this. Military-grade surveillance could be hacked, much less commercial cameras like An Wan’s.
“But there was only one day when I wasn’t home. I went out to buy some food. The shop was close to home…” An Wan covered her mouth and then tears of regrets fell. That day, she saw that Diu Diu was asleep so she didn’t bring him along. She had no idea it would lead to such a big problem.
Mo Li’s face darkened. How can Ming do this to his own child? Mo Li thought Quan Yu’s badge had managed to frighten the man but the bastard was only faking it. He still returned to harm the pair of mother and son.
“Wasn’t your father an undercover cop? Why aren’t you protected by the police?” Ah Ao questioned. When he was tasked by Quan Yu to investigate the people around Mo Li, he noticed An Wan was a ticking time bomb. She had offended the popular producer, Gu Chuan; she had a child with Fukase Ming; her father was a cop, so many people wanted her life. Quan Yu was worried that Mo Li might be dragged into An Wan’s problem.
An Wan glanced at Ah Ao. “Because they say they aren’t sure who killed my father… I did think about avenging my father but strangely enough, whenever I got close to a clue, it would suddenly disappear. I thought it was the underworld people who did this. But after I asked my father’s friends from the underworld, they told me quite clearly that my father had no enemies in the underworld. In fact, most of them didn’t even know he was working undercover…”
“So you suspect his death was actually caused by someone on the force?” Ah Ao sharpened his gaze. He had expected this too. The white was not necessarily cleaner than the black.
“Hmm, if I am not mistaken, Captain Xiao’s current boss, the director of Pearl River Police Station, Li Bo started as an undercover cop too. He was an undercover agent in an international organization. Then the news came that he died. However, the death was merely a smokescreen. He had snuck back to China to continue his undercover job. He worked with national security to take down a Guang Dong and Hong Kong criminal syndicate. After that, he stopped his undercover work and was moved to Hong Kong to be a trainer for the CIB. He was in charge of searching and training undercover agents.” Ah Ao scratched his chin seriously.
“Why are you so familiar with these things?” Mo Li was puzzled. Why would a guard for Quan Yu know so much about the director of Pearl River’s Police Station? “Are you his agent planted beside Quan Yu?”
Ah Ao’s legs shook when he heard that. “Madam boss, you can’t just say things like that!” Ah Ao had seen how his boss deal with traitors, he knew very well what would happen to him if Quan Yu even got a suspicion that he was a traitor. Ah Ao would never do such a thing!
“Actually, I’ve tried to talk to him before.” They were surprised that An Wan actually did know Li Bo. “At first, I didn’t know that he knew my father. When I was in Japan, I was captured. The boss over there showed me a picture. It was a picture of my father and his friends at the police academy. My father and Li Bo were good friends when Li Bo was the trainer at CIB. Based on my understanding, Li Bo is a righteous man who has been dedicated his life to fighting the underworld.” An Wan gripped her fists. “But he refuses to even meet me.”
If An Wan wanted to find out the truth, she needed more connection. However, An Wan didn’t have that. In fact, she could barely keep herself and Diu Diu safe. Hell, even Diu Diu’s father was after their lives.
Ming’s fiance in Japan was yet another factor to be concerned about.
Mo Li led An Wan to settle the bill. To their surprise, Ross was very kind. He even gave them a low price. It delighted and surprised An Wan.
“I’m surprised that you actually completed your brother’s surgery. Mo Li, are you interested to join our medical research team?” Ross extended the invitation.
“I will consider it but for now, I have to focus on finishing school.” Mo Li looked at Ross seriously, this was indeed something she had considered.
