"What is it?" Fade Chen asked.
Tom Wei said thoughtfully, "It's about my aunt. Two years ago, my cousin left home after she had aquarrel with my uncle again. My aunt was so worried about my cousin she chased after her.Unexpectedly, on the way, my aunt encountered a car accident and was hit by a truck. She wasseriously injured and is still in a coma till now."
"And after the incident, investigation revealed that the truck driver involved in the accident was sent bymy second uncle's rival and my second uncle was the target. However, in a twist of fate, heaccidentally rammed into my second aunt."
"Because of this, the conflict between my cousin and my second uncle reached its peak. The twoalmost broke the relationship between father and daughter, and my sister also moved out of the houseimmediately." Tom Wei aid with a sigh, "At that time, my second uncle wanted to quit the underworldbusiness. But when he thought of my second aunt's condition and that the situation may be worse afterquitting, my second uncle eventually stayed on."
"After a year, my uncle finally defeated his rival and eliminated the other party's gang leader to avengemy aunt. But his relationship with my cousin was irreparable."
Fade was overcome by emotion after listening to Tom Wei's story. He didn't expect that a fearsomeleader who commanded the North Bay in Bay City would have such a painful, untold story.
Tom Wei continued after a pause, "Although the rival's leader was defeated, his younger brotherescaped. So, my uncle has been worrying about the safety of my cousin. But with their currentestranged relationship, my uncle can't send someone to protect my cousin openly. He can only protect
her in secret. Even so, my cousin would find out about these secret bodyguards after some time andshe would call the police immediately to get rid of them.
"My second uncle has no choice but to change batches after batches of people. This method is not aproblem during ordinary times."
"But recently, my second uncle got the news that the younger brother of that gang leader has returned.Therefore, my second uncle is very worried about my cousin's safety, yet he couldn't get close to her.So he asked me to find a way to hire someone new to get close to my cousin so as to protect her insecret."
Hearing this, Fade Chen finally figured out what Tom Wei wanted. He wanted someone to approachthis woman, befriend her and then discreetly protect her.
This job was a piece of cake for Fade Chen. However, it was a little difficult in terms of time. After all,Fade Chen now had his own family and work. If he really wanted to go undercover, he might not havethe time.novelbin
Fade Chen was honest towards Tom Wei about this inconvenience.
However, Tom Wei shook his head and said to Fade Chen, "Brother Fade, this is not a problem at all."
"Er, what do you mean?" Fade Chen was in doubts.
Tom Wei leaned over to Fade Chen and said, "Because my cousin is this woman!"
While speaking, Tom Wei unlocked his mobile phone, clicked open a photo and handed it to FadeChen.
When Fade Chen saw the person in the photo, he was shocked. "What? Your cousin is Lily Wei, fromthe HR Department of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc?"
"Yes, it's her!" Tom Wei laughed and said, "Brother Fade, now you know why I said that it's not aproblem. You are now working in the same company as her, and you see her every day. Moreover, Ialso heard that you and her seem to be quite close. This way, Brother Fade, you are the perfect personfor the job."
Fade Chen was still in shock. He had never thought that the beautiful HR director of Fei EnterprisesHoldings Inc was the daughter of Bay City's underground gang leader.
Fade Chen recalled the last time when they encountered trouble on the road. Knowing Lily Wei'sbackground now, it could explain why she knew the nooks and crannies of Reed Street then.
Tom Wei looked at the stunned Fade Chen and moved closer to him, so close that his face almosttouched Fade Chen's. "Brother Fade, so you're game. After all, you and Lily are colleagues. Besides,Lily is talented and beautiful. If things go well, Brother Fade, perhaps you will win her heart andbecome a couple!"
Fade rolled his eyes at Tom and said, "Hey, Dude. Don't get so close to me, I'm straight. Consider thisdone."
"Thank you so much, bro." Tom Wei rejoiced. "Just tell me if you need anything. I will do anything foryou."
"Fine. Just help me get the information about Fire Flame Plant as soon as possible," Fade Chen said.
"Don't you worry, Brother Fade. I shall mobilize the Long Enterprise team to track down the Fire FlamePlant immediately when I return." Tom Wei promised.
"Ok, it's getting late. I should go."
Tom Wei later respectfully saw Fade Chen out of the Drunken Parlour. With the Nine Star Plant inhand, Fade Chen returned to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc while humming a tune.
As soon as he came back, Fade Chen headed straight to the medical center and got his hands busy.An hour later, the Nine Star Plant was reduced to a small bowl of dark liquid which Fade Chen gulpeddown in one go.
After the liquid entered his body, Fade Chen instantly felt a faint but cooling sensation in his mouth andnostrils. Then, the coolness spread throughout his whole body, making him feel completely relaxed.
This continued for a few hours until the coolness gradually dissipated, and the efficacy of the herb wascompletely absorbed by his body. Fade Chen felt the Qi circulating inside his body and felt that the Qiin his meridians had somewhat been enhanced.
"The Nine Star Plant is truly worthy of its fame, it does have effects on even someone who has reachedtranscendent levels like me. Not bad at all." Fade Chen thought. The Nine Star Plant grew in shady andwet places, absorbing the essence of the starlight, and it is classified as Ying and cold in nature. Ifconsumed by an ordinary person, the body would be damaged by the plant's efficacy.
But it was a tonic for Fade Chen. This was because Fade Chen practiced the "Kung Fu of Jiu Yang"which was Yang and hot in nature, therefore he needed something cold to mediate his body.
Fade Chen flexed his body and felt an indescribable comfort which made him smile. By then, it wastime to get off work. Fade Chen saw Lily Wei heading downstairs. He instinctively packed up andfollowed her quietly.
Since he had promised Tom Wei to protect Lily Wei, Fade Chen should keep his words. The first day ofhis undercover mission was to figure out the routine of his target.
Therefore, Fade Chen sent his wife a text message saying that he had something to do that night andwould be home late so there's nothing to worry about. Then he transformed into a cloud of shadow andfollowed Lily Wei downstairs.
