One of his bodyguards handed Jin Liwei a handkerchief which he used to wipe the traces of Jin Chenggong’s blood and other unidentified fluids from his hands while the other bodyguard squeezed some hand sanitizer for him. He immediately felt better afterwards.
He would feel even better if he could thoroughly wash his hands with soap and warm water (preferably using Orchidia Beauty liquid hand soap for effective germ cleaning with maximum skin-moisturizing properties, a recently developed product, to be released after the New Year).
The teenage-looking man asked him, “You really plan on handing Jin Chenggong and his family to the unknown group after my team is done with them?”
“En.”
“Alright. Boss Hao already told us before he…fell asleep that we should follow your decision about what to do with Jin Chenggong and his family. If this is what you want, then we’ll do it. Hopefully by that time, we’ll be able to find out more information about the unknown group’s background so we won’t be caught unawares by them again.”
“We will.” There was certainty in Jin Liwei’s tone and expression.
He had full trust in his wife and AI children’s abilities as hackers. His brother-in-law’s ShaWn hackers were quite skilled as well especially with Bacon assisting them. In addition, he also had his own ways of finding out information using his wealth and status. He just needed to be many times more careful than usual because the target this time was already proven to be a highly dangerous group of criminals who murdered people like it was nothing.
“How about Rose Young’s accomplices that we captured? Would you like to see them?”
Jin Liwei thought for a moment. He wasn’t really interested in them but since he was already here, he might as well see how they were doing.
The teenage-looking man gave another instruction to his team member. A moment later, the monitors in the surveillance control room showed a plastic-looking woman and two males being held in three separate cells.
“The woman is Jenny Tseng, Rose Young’s best friend. This male is Luke, Rose’s maternal cousin, and the other male is Luke’s friend.”
Jin Liwei was handed another document showing a concise report of the three individuals’ confessions. He read it and didn’t feel too disappointed at the lack of relevant information. He already expected that these three didn’t know much about the true grand plan behind Rose Young’s recently failed plot against him. Jin Chenggong’s confession was longer than all of theirs combined.
“Did you torture them, too?” Jin Liwei asked.
The teenage-looking man released a disinterested yawn. “No. Boss Hao didn’t say anything about what to do with the three of them other than to hold them captive. I’ll wait for Boss Hao to wake up first before doing anything significant to them. I didn’t torture them but I do enjoy scaring them. Hehe. Not that hard. It’s fun, actually. All of them are cowards. I only glare at them and act like a thug, and they’re already spilling everything they know to me.”
‘What act like a thug? You’re already a thug.’ Jin Liwei kept these thoughts to himself.
These Shadow Winds members might be treating him with courtesy on account of his relationship with their Boss Hao, but at the end of the day, they weren’t his own subordinates. Most importantly, they were criminals. There was no use in beautifying their identities. His brother-in-law formed a criminal group and that was the truth.
Fortunately, these criminals were on his side. Well, not his side per se, but his wife’s side. As long as Shadow Winds remained true to protecting his wife, then Jin Liwei had no problem interacting with them as if they were close. Besides, his AI son liked working with them—and he just discovered today that Bacon liked tormenting them as well.
On account of his wife, AI son and brother-in-law, Jin Liwei was willing to delve a little deeper in the criminal underworld through Shadow Winds. However, he wasn’t delusional as to treat Shadow Winds like his own.
They were allies. Just that.
Even his brother-in-law didn’t completely trust his own people and he was the one who gathered them in the first place.
Back to the present, Jin Liwei continued reading the concise report in his hand.
According to Rose Young’s maternal cousin named Luke, Romeo Young promised his wife’s entire maternal family here in China to upgrade their current living conditions to become well-off. They would be given properties in a city of their choice, and of course, financial rewards as long as they helped Rose Young in whatever she needed while living in China.
The other young man, Luke’s friend and another cousin, supported Luke’s confessions. This guy knew even less than Luke. He only helped Rose Young in her plot to trap Jin Liwei because Luke asked him and their other friends, and of course, because the money was good.
As for Jenny Tseng’s confession, it said that she only knew about Rose Young’s years-long unrequited love for Jin Liwei which eventually turned into a crazy obsession.
Jin Liwei doubted her claim. She must have an idea about the Young family’s ambition towards Jin Corporation even if no one told it to her outright. After all, she had been Rose Young’s best friend for so long.
Nevertheless, Jin Liwei didn’t intend to pursue forcing out more information from her or the other two men. Even though they assisted Rose Young in her plan to trap him, at least they didn’t directly harm his wife. They were only following Rose Young. Stupid? Yes. Evil? Debatable.
Therefore, he was willing to give them more leeway for survival than he did with Jin Chenggong. If possible, he didn’t want Jenny Tseng and the two men to end up like their fellow four accomplices who were murdered and left at a garbage dumpsite by Rose Young’s supposed rescuers.
“Keep them here for now,” Jin Liwei said, returning the document to the teenage-looking man. “I’ll leave it to your Boss Hao on how he wants to handle these three when he wakes up.”
“Alright. You’re not going to speak to any of them?”
“Not interested.”
Afterwards, Jin Liwei met up with the ShaWn leader and spoke briefly with him. Then he finally left the headquarters and headed home to his wife.
