Chapter 545 Friction

Chapter 545 Friction　　Yi Zexi was anxiously and frequently looking towards the door. It had been more than an hour but there was no news about Lu Bojing. She felt an uncomfortable feeling arise in her chest thinking of what would be happening to him right now.

She did get some relief from Jia's commitment that Lu Bojing won't suffer no matter what Li Dong did.

'Look, this is a drug that Mingshen gave me. He knew that Li Dong would definitely try to harm Bojing one day, so he had this drug ready.'

Yi Zexi stared at. There was some liquid in a small vial.

'This will help him?'

'Yeah. Mingshen said it's a very strong and advanced pain killer which he has adjusted according to Bojing's body, so there will be no side effects. The effect lasts for twelve hours. It doesn't smell or taste like anything, and it doesn't leave any traces in the body either. So even if Li Dong did any tests on him, he wouldn't know that Bojing has consumed this drug. Bojing just has to act as if he is in pain.'

'Oh my God! This is awesome! No, that Bojing's Boss is so awesome! I would really like to meet him one day!'

Jia's expression turned ugly. 'No, you really wouldn't want to meet him. It's for your own good. Anyway, Bojing, take this medicine quickly and come with me.'

After that it had been more than an hour, but Lu Bojing hadn't returned, making Yi Zexi more and more worried about him.

When the door opened, Jia stepped in as she held Lu Bojing's arm.

"You are back!"

Her heart twisted to see his pale complexion. His eyes were blank and unfocused. There were marks of needles on the back of his hand that brought tears to her eyes.

She whispered cautiously, "Did that medicine not work?"

Jia remained silent.

"It worked. But it's not about the experiment."

She took Yi Zexi to a corner and said, "Li Dong confessed to some harsh truth that Bojing didn't know about his family, especially…his mother. It has hit him hard. That's why I ask you to please take care of him. He is emotionally very disturbed, and…" her gaze became unforgiving and furious, "I understand it completely. I understand the pain of losing parents. It's really the ugliest feeling in this whole world. I know what Bojing is going through right now."

Yi Zexi saw her tightly curling her fingers into her palm, making her hair tingle at the back of her neck. Her eyes were slightly wet.

"I-Is it so devastating?" She asked in a quiet voice.

Jia lowered her gaze. "Very."

"What w-will you do now?" She urged.

Within her mask, Jia's lips curled into a dangerous smile. "At first, I only wanted to target Jiang Zhen. But now, Li Dong is on my list. I will make his life miserable. He deserves to die. That is up to Bojing. But it's time I up the game and cause more friction between them. And you know what? Li Dong himself has showed me the way for this."

"What!?"

Jiang Zhen was in his study when he heard a report from Shen Yang. Shen Yang grimly nodded.

"Yang Mingshen's girlfriend, Jiming, who is undercover in Li Dong's base reported this to me."

Jiang Zhen breathed hard and banged his fist on the desk. "The nerve of that Li Dong! He is planning to build an army like Lu Bojing to defeat me?"

An angry laugh escaped his lips. "That bastard played me. I thought he wanted Lu Bojing because of his enmity with the Lu clan and because Yang Mingshen snatched him away. But there he is experimenting on him and making other research subjects his clones! Fucker!"

He never gave it a deep thought regarding Lu Bojing. Even though he knew he was dangerously strong and only him was already a grave threat to his guards, he was still a single man. There were limitations to how much he could fight.

But if Li Dong managed to create an army just like Lu Bojing, there would be no way his men would stand a chance. Lu Bojing himself could deal with upto twenty guards and not just any guards. They were the most physically fit and agile. An army would be the most fatal blow.

Jiang Zhen rubbed his temples in frustration. He chuckled and then burst into a mocking laughter. "Ah that fucker wants to become the Mafia King? He wants to overthrow me? Who the fuck he think he is? Who helped him escape the laws from China and protected him abroad? If not for me, he would be a goner by now. Now he suddenly gained wings to fly? Isn't he being too ambitious?"

Shen Yang coldly suggested. "Boss, please give the order. I will take my unit and destroy base and his clones before he could even use them. We don't have to worry if we kill the threat before it becomes a threat to us."

He raised his palm. "No. We cannot be so hasty. We don't know how far the clones have developed. We don't know their strength yet. If we just barge in without planning, it would be our loss. Remember, even the unfinished subjects could be more powerful than our men. I want to deal with this without Li Dong knowing as much as possible. Until he has those clones, he has the upper hand here," he gritted his teeth and felt extremely unnerving that somebody like Li Dong who he wanted to discard now was superior to him.

Jiang Zhen was humiliated.

Shen Yang asked, "Then what should we do?"

He took deep breaths and calmed himself. "Either we can kill his subjects or kidnap them. Killing them would be a waste. If they are on our side, we will become invincible. Plus, we have Yang Mingshen with us. He can perfect the incomplete clones even if we deal with Li Dong. First, I need to take Lu Bojing away from him. The more he stays with him, the more he gets time to develop his subjects. Secondly, I want all his clones without his notice. Can you do it?"
