Jin Liwei looked at his baby girl’s sleeping face. His heart clenched at the sight of the bandages on her jaw, neck and shoulder. He had also seen the scratches and bruises all over her body during her hospital check-up earlier. How he wished he could take away all of her pain and suffer them in her stead.
‘I almost lost her.’
The thought almost paralyzed him with fear. If she didn’t throw the box, she would have been….
He gritted his teeth, forcefully destroying the frightening image in his mind. If he ever lost her in such a tragic manner, he would make sure to punish all the motherfuckers who took her away from him. After avenging her, he would follow her without any second thoughts. Now that he was experiencing the joys of finding one’s mate, life would be meaningless without her.
Hatred and desire for revenge were starting to take root inside of him. He wanted to beat the life out of that bastard. What was the motherfucker’s name? Tian Kong. How dare he try to murder his baby girl? Anyone who dared to harm Jin Liwei’s woman, future wife, and the mother of his children deserved the worst punishment in the world!
“Meow…” Popcorn nudged his daddy’s arm with his head. The striped ginger cat could sense his daddy’s murderous intent, scaring him a little.
Ice Cream squeezed herself closer to her sleeping mommy while staring at her daddy with caution.
Jin Liwei took a few deep breaths to control his raging emotions. He gave his sleeping baby girl another light kiss on the lips before standing up. Then he petted the two cats.
“Ice Cream, Popcorn, take care of your mom.”
The two cats mewled their promise, purring and transferring their body heat to their mommy.
“How dare they?! If it wasn’t for Xiulan, many people would have died! She saved them! And now they’re blaming her?! Idiots!”
Lu Zihao was already aware of the hate campaign. His hacker team had been monitoring it as soon as they detected it.
Jin Liwei was unaware because it was usually either Xu Tian or Ketchup who monitored anything related to his baby girl online. However, both had missed it today. Xu Tian drove Jin Liwei to the mall and then returned to Jin Corporation afterwards. As for Ketchup, Iris had disabled her because of the ruckus she made earlier to the police and government systems.
“Don’t worry about it, Third Brother. I already instructed my subordinates to take care of it, Lu Zihao told Jin Liwei.
One of his subordinates stepped forward and reported, “Boss Hao, the hate campaign has just been taken care of by our team.”
“A little later than I expected but good,” Lu Zihao replied, nodding.
Jin Liwei still looked furious but began to calm down after hearing that his Fifth Brother had already taken care of the hate campaign. He hadn’t seen the actual comments in the hate campaign but if his Fifth Brother stepped forward to take care of it, then it must have been serious. Just imagining all those vile motherfuckers blaming his baby girl for the bomb incident made him gnash his teeth and want to beat them all up with his own fists.
“Thanks,” he said.
Lu Zihao nodded. Then he turned to his subordinate. “Have we found out who’s behind the hate campaign?”
“What do you mean by not yet?”
Both Lu Zihao and Jin Liwei frowned while waiting for the subordinate’s answer.
“Boss Hao, we suspect that the people behind the hate campaign against Miss Xiulan are not simple anti-fans by how quickly the comments spread online right after the bomb incident. It was too deliberate and unnatural. The fact that we’re still unable to uncover any identities despite our whole hacker team working on it makes us believe that there’s an even more skilled hacker behind the hate campaign.”
Lu Zihao and Jin Liwei’s frowns deepened.
“Even more skilled than Drakon?” Lu Zihao had full trust in his sister’s hacking skills but he still asked this question just for the heck of it.
“Of course not, boss. What I meant was more skilled than our team but nowhere near the great Drakon.”
Lu Zihao nodded. Pride flashed in his eyes but it was gone as quickly as it appeared. His face reverted to an impassive expression.
Jin Liwei also felt proud but he hid the emotion behind his usual coldness. He kept quiet, choosing instead to listen to his Fifth Brother speak to his subordinates. Although they hadn’t talked about it, he suspected that his Fifth Brother already knew Iris’ real identity as Drakon. He wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case given the close sibling relationship between his baby girl and his Fifth Brother.
However, he wasn’t sure if his Fifth Brother’s subordinates were aware of it. He wished that they didn’t know because he couldn’t fully trust them with the truth. Even Jin Liwei’s own men didn’t know that their mistress was the great hacker Drakon. Although he believed in the loyalty of his men, he still didn’t want to risk exposing the truth to them, especially if there was a chance that it would endanger his baby girl’s safety.
“Go ahead.”
“Exposing the identities of the people behind the hate campaign should be a piece of cake to Drakon. If we ask…”
“NO!!!”
Both Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao outright rejected the subordinate’s idea even before they heard it. They looked at each other before glaring at the subordinate.
“There is no need to bother Drakon at this time. Let our hacker team deal with the hate campaign for now,” Lu Zihao said.
“Understood, Boss Hao.”
