Chapter 345 - 326: Putting to Work-I

After the words, a waiter came toward them, holding a ceramic teapot. Seeing the two men, he came up with a smile after taking note that both were famous people one was the owner of the very hotel where they were and the other the man known for being the director of the entertainment company which was one out of three most sought company for singers and artists.

"Should I refill the cup, gentlemen?" asked the man when Li Jun Wei's cold eyes met his, he suddenly felt chill running down his spine.

"That's not necessary, you can leave." After Li Jun Wei's words the man left. He shifted his hand away from his thighs, uncrossing his legs and taking notice of He Chang Min's expression that looked surprised and confused. "This man you are talking of, how do you know that is the same man Li Lian is searching for?"

As much as He Chang Min doesn't want to reply, he was curious of Li Jun Wei's claim and wondered who was wrong here; if it was him or Li Jun Wei. "I have my help, a friend of mine who was good with computer language who could hack into several account. I expect you know the reason why Li Lian searched for him?"

"I heard it from herself, directly from her lips," replied Li Jun Wei, pushing He Chang Min's button when things had just gotten a little calmer between them, Li Jun Wei knew how to create tension between them again.

He Chang Min ground his teeth. "Tch, anyway. With my friend's help we trace the CCTV camera years ago in the place of the accident. Knowing where the hospital Li Lian and him was brought to, helped better for us to find where the boy was shifted after the hospital. They may have erased the CCTV records from the police but my friend was able to recover the videos. We found he was transported to a different hospital in Japan, went surgery and went back home soon after to live. He live in Japan his entire life. He isn't you."

"Have you talked with this person yet then?" On Li Jun Wei's question, He Chang Min wasn't able to answer. Li Jun Wei could tell how He Chang Min hadn't met the man as everything was just what he was able to find out by the help of his friend.

Rather than him, Li Jun Wei was more interested with the friend He Chang Min mentioned. This was information that Li Jun Wei's top broker wasn't able to find and he was intrigued to the man's skillful hacking skill. 

"What is his name?" Li Jun Wei continued his interrogation that had He Chang Min to look at the man wondering how were they having this conversation now. It was weird how the table have turned. He could chose not to answer Li Jun Wei's question but he was at the same time curious to know why Li Jun Wei claimed he was the one Li Lian was searching for. 

"You will have to ask my question beforehand. How do you know the person Li Lian searched for is you?" asked He Chang Min him.

"I remembered everything that happened like how Li Lian was searching for me, I was searching for her and as you have seen we have found each other." Li Jun Wei lied through his lips without making any gaffe that could make one doubt him. He knew that He Chang Min would soon work with them making him give up early would make the work more efficient.

"Then who is that man?" muttered He Chang Min, confusion in his mind. Chuang Xuan would not be wrong with his information. Then what happened? How the intonations turned wrong.

Placing the cup to the saucer, a loud clink came to break He Chang Min's mind from his thoughts and bewilderment. Li Jun Wei met his eyes and asked, "What is the man's name?"

"Akasaka," started He Chang Min to have Li Jun Wei's eyes reflected on the pale brown liquid inside his cup subtly widened as the liquid quake.

"Haruhi," named Li Jun Wei and in turn, He Chang Min stared at him in awe and shock.

"You know?" asked He Chang Min.

"I guessed," came Li Jun Wei's short answer. The surprise in his eyes vanished as if it had never been there before. "The friend you mentioned who helped you, what is his name?"

Still in surprise, He Chang Min didn't think and reply, "Zhuang Xuan."

Taking the name, Li Jun Wei recalled how the name was familiar, to remember he was the same man who had invited Li Lian to participate in the university reunion. If Li Lian received the invitation from him, it would mean she had the man's phone number.

Seeing the skill Zhuang Xuan had that even his top information broker couldn't have, Li Jun Wei would have to bring the man to work with him. That way, they could find more about the things that were kept secret with his and Li Lian's family. 

"I have one more question Mr. He. Do you know if your fiancee is hiding something?" Li Jun Wei saw how his question had He Chang Min's expression to turn cold at the mention of Xie Hue Lin. It didn't seem like the man was lying about his hate which was clearing after seeing that He Chang Min is still in love with Li Lian.

The love thought Li Jun Wei. He wondered what he should do to break the useless lingering feeling He Chang Min had for good. It irritated him that Li Lian was still in the man's mind as someone he love, he dreamed to be with.

Sarcasm laced He Chang Min's voice when he asked. "She has too many which would you are asking for?"

"Her familial relationship with her parents," Li Jun Wei lifted his chin to look at He Chang Min's face that doesn't look pleasing to him. "Whether they are blood related or not."

He Chang Min has a hard time processing the words. Li Jun Wei had spoken clear, but he couldn't understand what the man meant as it was something he never thought of before. "She is blood related." How could they not? He Chang Min saw Xie Hue Lin's baby pictures and the question was abrupt as there was never a sign Xie Hue Lin was someone not from Xie Family.

"Did I ask for your opinion?" retorted Li Jun Wei for He Chang Min to roll his eyes. "I asked if you ever seen something odd in the family where she could be not Mr and Mrs Xie's daughter," Li Jun Wei crossed his legs, noting how He Chang Min bringing his hand to his nose bridge to pinch it as if he was feeling frustrated.

"There was no such sign. Hue Lin is indeed Mrs. Xie's daughter. There was many of her childhood pictures even when Mrs. Xie was pregnant," claimed He Chang Min. His answer was what Li Jun Wei expected for. He could tell with the man's simple mind that his reply would be that.

Li Jun Wei wondered who was lying. If Mrs. Xie was pregnant then where was Li Lian's real sister? Did she died and Xie Hue Lin took over her sister's right position and lived as Xie Hue Lin? This suit the puzzle of why Xie Hue Lin was such in a hurry to kill Li Lian.

Having nothing else to say, Li Jun Wei stood from his chair his long legs moved from the chair where he had sat to speak with He Chang Min. "If you are alive we will talk again." and with the word, Li Jun Wei didn't wait for He Chang Min's reply to leave the place.

He Chang Min frowned, questioning Li Jun Wei's words who spoke as if he knew that soon he would die. He continued to stay there, rethinking of everything and the question about Xie Hue Lin. Li Jun Wei never joked at least that was what He Chang Min thought seeing the man in flesh. He didn't seem like a person who would speak without meaning either. If Xie Hue Lin was hiding about her birth, he need to find it and find out the truth for his advantage.

Li Jun Wei exited the room, having others opening and closing the door for him as his secretary followed him from behind. Upon entering, the secretary pushed the button to the lobby.

Li Jun Wei leaned to the back of the elevator. The name of Akasaka Haruhi rang in his mind. The man who wish to marry Li Lian by all means for the condition and agreement he one sidedly make. Was he involved that day or was he actually the boy Li Lian was searching for but then again the boy was a Chinese as he could speak Chinese. After another thought, Li Jun Wei thought otherwise. It could be that the boy was a Japanese all along, there was a chance that Li Lian mistake the boy for a Chinese as her eyes were temporarily blind at the time.

"Sir, will we be going to the next schedule?" asked the secretary, gaining Li Jun Wei's gaze as he pushed himself from the wall by his foot and left the elevator when the door automatically opened.

People who saw Li Jun Wei stopped their walk to bow and greet, "Was it the party held in the cruise for celebrating Noh's anniversary?" Li Jun Wei questioned, entering the car.

"Yes sir." The secretary was about to enter the car when Li Jun Wei raised his hand.

"Kun, could you go and fetch me a few things?" It wasn't much of a question but and order that was needed by the secretary who gave him a prompt nod.

"What should I fetch?"

Li Jun Wei smiled to speak and after a while, the secretary watched Li Jun Wei's car leaving the place to take what Li Jun Wei had ordered him to.
