The Twisted Two: The Feisty And The Docile 196 Heavy Taste

Siren? Then Li Yaun frown shot up in surprise, Lei Xinyi's underworld name is Siren!

Jiang Cheng had told him that. At the thought of Jiang Cheng, a bitter taste roused on Li Yuan's tongue. The self-proclaimed brothers of her! How many had she put on this label?!

And why did they all ended-up with shady characters?! First, her mysterious brother Jiang Cheng whose loyalty hanged on people's head like a hanging knife with a thin thread and now this world-famous brat, He Zheng!

She sure did have a heavy taste!

Li Yuan scoffed at the irony and asked sarcastically, "How many brothers does she have in total?"

He Zheng face turned sour, "I am the only legit one. Otherwise, Ren has a thing for stray dogs, so she just likes to collar every one of them."

"Jiang Cheng?"

"He and others." He Zheng shrugged and then smirked in a knowing way, "You look like a smart guy if Ren thought to cohabit with you. A man like Jiang Cheng is a ticking bomb with a pendulum loyalty. If I were you, I would never trust him. in fact, I would dispose of him."

He Zheng scrunched his nose as his eyes surveyed the dungeon, the place was a cryptic set for a horror movie shoot with the darkened surrounding. The walls were laced with blood and the place had this pungent fading-strong smell of dead and decay.

He Zheng felt his heartbeat escalate but he maintained his devil-may-care att.i.tude and scrunched his nose in disgust, "Can we talk in someplace a little bit less rotten and rodent friendly?"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes then nodded to his subordinate with a well-covered smirk.

He saw right through the insolent brat putting up a grown-up facade, the boy was scared sh*tless but he was Lei Xinyi's brother thus useful.

The files just showed a little acquaintance between them, which she had with many people.

The Boy could be a one-way ticket to his 'sister' and the reliable source of information on her. It was obvious he didn't come to say h.e.l.lo. He had a reason to reach out to the Underworld King and such they could exchange favours.

After half an hour of He Zheng showering and changing he sat in the living room staring expectantly at Li Yaun.

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes at the kid, and commanded, "Open your trap."

He Zheng looked at him in astonishment and horror, like he had asked him to strip, "Without refreshments? I am tired and hungry. My brain isn't even functioning!"

The butler who was beside Li Yuan frowned. n.o.body talked to his Young Master like that, not even the president of the country!

He stepped forward to put the insolent boy in his place when Li Yaun raised a hand halting him in his steps. 

Li Yuan smirked in He Zheng direction, "Where are my manners?" He tilted his head to Butler Yang, "Bring him dinner, Lei Xinyi's Brother shouldn't feel we lack hospitality and generosity."

The muscular Butler bowed and left but not before giving He Zheng his piercing glare. He Zheng gulped and looked at his surrounding ignoring, Li Yuan.

His smirk had a hidden warning to it that if he wasn't Lei Xinyi's brother, he would be history in a couple of seconds. That was a message for He Zheng to stop pus.h.i.+ng his luck with Li Yuan's b.u.t.tons.

The man wore a thin string of patience in his wrist as it was and He Zheng wasn't really interested in knowing yet what conspired to those who had managed to snap it so he sewed his smug mouth.

The food arrived in about 15 minutes, it was French cuisine, it looked luscious and tender with experts of hands. But He Zheng didn't dare touch a thing.

Who knew if that demented Butler had put anything in it?!

He Zheng mouth watered looking at the food and his stomach growled his protest at his hesitancy. He eyed the food with a conflicted stare.

Li Yuan saw the caution of the boy and had the urged to scoff. The Teenage Boy was sitting in his Mansion that was situated in a secluded area if he were to cut him in pieces and feed his pet, n.o.body would even find his bones.

Li Yuan picked the fork and held it in the Boeuf Bourguignon and took a bite to ensure He Zheng then leaned back.

He Zheng took a hesitant bite too and then he was unstoppable. He ate as a man starved. Li Yuan ignored the starved boy from Sahara and focused on the file in front of him.

When he was finally done with his file about a hotel chain in Columbia he glanced up to see He Zheng was still eating with the same fever, his eyebrows rose and he indicated Butler Yang to clear the table, who was looking at the Boy with distaste.

The boy ate with not even spilling a drop of soup on the table or clattering the spoon or fork on the plate even once, graceful. The boy was definitely trained in Martial Arts. He was graceful with a hint of rugged wildness in his actions. Just like Lei Xinyi.

A half-hour sure was enough to fill his pit of a stomach so Li Yuan took it upon himself to let the boy not overeat and then choke on air.

He Zheng picked the Tarte Tatin in his hand and ate it while glancing at the dishes leaving the table.

Looking at the boy fed and treated with generosity, Li Yuan looked at the Butler with intent. Butler Yang at once got the meaning and handed the two thickest files on the research.

"Hopefully, your mind is functioning now or... Butler Yang here knows some 'remedies'." He Zheng glanced at the middle age Butler staring at him with an evil glint in his eyes and gulped.

Li Yuan smirked and pointed at the files, "You are here, so it's obvious you don't know where Lei Xinyi is. So, let's start with the rumours about Lei Xinyi."

He Zheng glanced at the stack of papers but didn't dare pick it up. Lei Xinyi was one of the most private people that she even lived in the country with three different ident.i.ties.

If he was going to dish all her secret in front of an influential man like Li Yuan, Lei Xinyi was going to skin him alive!

He felt his body sweating when he looked at Li Yuan who was still eying him with his eyes ablaze. He had seen hesitancy in He Zheng eyes. All his arrogance was melting away.

Li Yaun smirk widened, it meant the boy knew things. The canary had come itself in his cage, this was a first too. Now he could squeeze the information out of him or pluck every father to extract it and by the sweat trickling down his forehead, He Zheng knew it too.

He had knocked the wrong door for a bargain, you don't do bargains with the king. You bow down to their bestowals.

He Zheng licked his lower lip and looked around frantically for an escape and murmured, "Most of them are true. Which one you wanna know of?"

Li Yuan leaned back on his chair, and demanded, "Is it true she kills men after sleeping with them?"

He Zheng met his stare baffled, stood up and incredulously shouted, "What do you think, my sister is a psychopath?!" He snorted with a novel fury in his dark eyes, "It's those deranged underworld men who won't leave her alone after, so she had to take 'care' of them!"

At the same time, a loud roar of a wild animal shook the walls. He Zheng shouted too as his heart was about to leap out of his chest the thunderous sound, he shouted in fright and jumped on the sofa he was once sitting.
