“Mighty, what exactly is the background of Fat Dong?” I looked up at Michael Liu and asked.
“Fat Dong is more terrifying than you can imagine.” Michael Liu sighed, “He has an even bigger boss behind him. If not, I would have found evidence to give to the relevant departments long ago.”
“Ah?” I was stunned, “He has an even bigger boss behind him?”
“Yes.” Michael Liu nodded, “Otherwise, how do you think he could be so arrogant?”
“Then you ……” I looked at Michael Liu, “Why are you doing this?”
“I am doing it to avenge my younger brother.” Michael Liu said, “He was only twenty-two when he died. He hadn’t even gotten married or had a girlfriend.”
“Mighty ……” My heart ached again.
“So I came here and managed to become Fat Dong’s trusted confidant.” Michael Liu continued, “I did it to dig out the person behind him.”
“I understand.” I nodded.
“Little Snow, you are a pure girl.” Michael Liu hugged me and said softly, “I really don’t want you to get involved in this. You should leave this place as soon as possible.”
“No.” Michael Liu held my face firmly and said, “I can’t expose myself yet. I will eventually have a falling out with Fat Dong, so I can’t drag you down with me.”
“Mighty, I understand.” I nodded, feeling guilty.
Originally, he distanced himself from me not because he didn’t like me, but because he was afraid of hurting me.
“Mighty, I will be careful.” I said softly, “I will try not to make things difficult for you.”
“Good.” Michael Liu nodded, then asked, “Are you going back tonight?”
“I ……” I wanted to say I wasn’t going back, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. It was Old Zhao’s voice. “Mighty, are you asleep yet?”
I quickly got off Michael Liu’s bed, tidied up my clothes, and opened the door. “Oh, Little Snow is here too?” Old Zhao saw me and was stunned.
“Zhao Uncle.” I blushed and greeted him.
“Well, if you’re here, I’ll go back first.” But Michael Liu pulled my hand and looked at Old Zhao. “Little Snow knows everything now. She is my woman now, Uncle Zhao. You can speak directly. She can know.”
Old Zhao looked at me in disbelief. Perhaps in his eyes, a delicate woman like me couldn’t possibly do such dangerous things. Especially when he heard Michael Liu say that I had entered the small warehouse today, he was even more shocked.
“Girl, not bad. You have some nerve. You are worth Mighty risking danger to protect you all this time.” After that, Old Zhao didn’t hide anything anymore and coughed lightly.
“I thought about it earlier. If we want to bring down Fat Dong, we must obtain the data on his computer. This is very important. It is the key to prosecuting him.”
“This is probably difficult.” Michael Liu also frowned, “Fat Dong never lets anyone touch his computer.”
“You think about it some more. Sometimes, I still have a chance to enter his office.” Old Zhao sighed.
“The evidence must be obtained. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain …… I do have a way. Why don’t we cooperate with Samantha Ye?” Michael Liu immediately rejected the idea without thinking.
“No. This woman only cares about men and money. How can we let her know our secrets? It’s not good. It will cause trouble.” Old Zhao also felt it wasn’t feasible but couldn’t think of a better way. He angrily shouted at Michael Liu in frustration.
“Then what should we do? Fat Dong is very cautious. Besides women, who else can get close to him? You said if we don’t get the evidence, we can’t hold out any longer. Do you really think you can still pull in a big client for him and make him believe you are a resourceful investor?”
No wonder Fat Dong was so polite to Michael Liu. It was because Michael Liu had introduced a client to him. That client was the one Michael Liu had escorted the other day.
The room fell into a dead silence. No one could think of a better solution. I stood up. “Mighty, I’ll go back and rest first.” Actually, I had a way, but I didn’t dare tell Michael Liu.
I returned to my room in a state of anxiety and didn't sleep well all night. The next morning, I saw Michael Liu but didn't greet him. He looked at me with concern but didn't say anything. For the next few days, I deliberately kept my distance from Michael Liu. I was worried that his plan wouldn't succeed and that he might be discovered by Dong.
I kept an eye on Wang's actions and finally managed to copy some secret data from her computer one night. I thought this would be useful for Michael Liu.
"Meng, here's something for you," I said as I handed him the USB drive that night.
"What's this?" he asked, puzzled.
"You'll see when you look at it," I replied before running off.
I could hear him chasing after me, but he stopped after a while.
I returned to my dormitory, feeling restless for a long time. Michael Liu had been planning to send me away, but I refused because I was afraid that my departure would arouse Dong's suspicion and affect their plans. Plus, I was worried about Michael Liu's illness.
And I noticed something strange: Ye Sha, who used to visit the warehouse frequently, hadn't shown up for several days. Considering her character, this was unusual.
I had a bad feeling that she might have gotten into trouble. Michael Liu had told me that any female worker who came to the factory and had some charm would eventually be offered to Dong and then sold to some clubs.
Just then, Wang asked me to take some documents to Dong's office. It seemed that Dong had thought of me again.
I felt extremely nervous but had prepared myself. Before leaving, I took something from my drawer and went to Dong's office after work.
This was my second visit to his office, but I had dreamed about it countless times. Dong was my lifelong nightmare, but I had no choice but to go.
As soon as I entered, Dong embraced me and pushed me onto the sofa.
"Let me go!" I pretended to struggle.
"You wanted a man, didn't you?" Dong said as he pounced on me. "You came to find me, didn't you?"
"Dong Factory Head, I...I just came to deliver the documents," I stammered.
"Documents?" He laughed and tossed them aside. "You're here to give Michael Liu your milk, aren't you?"
I pretended not to hear that and handed him the documents. He didn't even look at them, just threw them away.
"Don't pretend anymore," he said with an evil smile. "I've been thinking about you for a long time. Your milk can be given to Michael Liu, so why not to me?"
"Dong Factory Head, I'm not..." I tried to resist.
"I can give you more money than Ye Sha, much more," he continued as he reached out to touch me.
"You let me go!" I shouted.
"I already told you, it's useless to shout. This is my territory. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you," Dong said shamelessly.
"You...you..." I was getting desperate.
"Come on, join me and I'll make sure you live a life of luxury," he said as he tore at my clothes.
"Help!" I cried out.
"Stop shouting. It's no use," he insisted.
Suddenly, I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Hey, don't be so impatient. I have a better game we can play together."
Peter Dong swallowed his saliva and leaned in closer.
"What game are you talking about?"
I whispered in his ear.
"I have milk, how about I squeeze a cup for you to drink? It feels really good when you drink it all at once."
Peter Dong was excited and nodded vigorously.
"Okay."
So I turned around and prepared to squeeze the milk, but I secretly added some drug powder that I had prepared earlier.
I had been planning for this moment for a long time.
I handed him the cup, and he drank it down without hesitation.
Soon after, he fell into a deep sleep.
I nervously rushed to open Peter Dong's computer, where the information that Michael Liu needed was stored.
Just then, Michael Liu burst into the room, his eyes red with urgency.
"Emily Yang, are you crazy? You can't meet Peter Dong alone like this!"
I was too focused on our task to respond.
"Quick, which file is the one you need?"
We quickly copied all the necessary information.
"Emily, Michael!"
Suddenly, Mr. Zhao appeared, urging us to hurry.
"Come on, get in the car! If Peter Dong wakes up and discovers what we've done, none of us will be able to escape."
Michael Liu nodded and pulled me out of the building.
On our way out, I learned that Mr. Zhao was actually Michael Liu's fellow villager. It was he who informed Michael Liu about his brother Liu Xing's situation.
For the past two years, Michael Liu had been collecting evidence with Mr. Zhao's help.
With the information I obtained, they could finally trace the chain of command back to Peter Dong's boss.
I was moved to tears by the news.
Michael Liu held me close and asked if I would be his girlfriend once we were safe.
He promised to take care of me from now on and ensure that my foster mother couldn't sell me to the old cripple.
It sounded wonderful.
I nodded eagerly.
