Chapter 158 - Still Have Family

Knox and Shi Ai read the file that Assistant Yang had sent over. Shi AI naturally had known these things but seeing the evidence and reading everything in it was making her want to puke. She too had spent years in an orphanage and only now did she full realize that she really had been blessed to never have encou tered such villains. Knox,who had walked into the situation blindly was on the other hand seething in rage. If it had not been for years of learning self discipline in the army,he would have roared in anger by now. What sort of animals existed in this world? The more he read the folder his expression became and Shi Ai saw for the first time why this man was one of the best in KSS. His eyes had turned murderous as of now.

Finally,Knox put down the file in his hand and glanced first at Ah Hai and then Shi Ai.

"I am taking the case but I have a few questions. Who is the client and why are we using your wife when we have so many female trained officers. No offense, I know that she is good but I cannot work with others interference and you would not be able to leave yourself out when it comes to your wife."

Ah Hai nodded as he explained," The client is confidential and Shi Ai cannot be replaced in this plan so all I can assure you is that I will..try to keep out of the case."

Snorting at Ah Hai's "try to",Knoz threw the file onto the table and said,"Not happening brother. Give me the entire information and full autonomy or I am just going to go and finish off the sc.u.m now. It's not like he needs to live on this earth after the sins he has committed."

Ah Hai had wanted to keep Shi Ai's past secrets as much s possible so he had been hesitant to tell Knox everything.Before AAhHai could make up a story,Shi Ai spoke,"I am the client, Knox. That man is responsible for many crimes against my family and I am the one who is going to send him to his rightful place. From making me an orphan to harming my sister,the blame all lies with him.And we are using me because it will be easier to get him to trust me because he thinks he has a trump card on me and that I am an emotional fool. That man..no that monster is my biological uncle who has promised me to introduce me to my father.. So though they will be doubtful,they won't think much of me.And I can promise you that I will be a good assistant,follow your orders. Ah Hai will not interfere. That Shi Qinglan will have to pay with interest what he took from me and my sister."

Knox closed the partially opened door as he walked back to his seat. Because the door had not opened fully,nobody noticed Yang Mei who stood outside and heard everything that Shi ai said.

Yang Mei rushed to the washroom on the other side of the floor and collapsed on the floor as she cried silently. For the first time in her life,she felt that she still had a family. Though her younger sister may have forgotten her and not recognized her,shebstill loved her enough to avenge her. Yang Mei could hardly stop crying. Finally after composing herself after a while,she went out and picking up her purse,rushed down the building and straight away to the bakery on the opposite end. Buying a few sweet desserts,since her Xaio Xaio had always had a sweet tooth,Yang Mei rushed back in time to see the kitchen staff bringing in the coffee. Taking the tray,and placing the sweets in a plate on the tray,Yang Mei knocked on the door. The discussion in the office room had calmed down now and everyone was silent as the cops were placed in front of them. Yang Mei placed Shi Ai's cup last and then the tray of pastries in front of her. Shi AI looked at the tempting delicacies and grinned before saying, "Thank you, Miss Yang!These are my favorites."

Seeing the sweets in front of Shi Ai,Knox frowned and complained,"Hey!Everytime I come to your office,all I can get is a glare not even a coffee. But now you have ordered your assistant to even bring Shi Ai's favorite pastries. Just how much dog food are you going to serve us?"

Ah Hai looked at the plate in front of his wife then at his Assistant refuting,"I did not order them. Miss Yang must have done herself."

Shi Ai had also assumed that her husband was the one to have ordered the pastries so she felt touched at Yang Mei's gesture and said so,"Thank you Miss Yang Mei. You are very thoughtful and you even guessed my favorites."

Yang Mei have a composed smile,even as her eyes moistened,she bowed and said,"My p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e Madam. These are my favorites as well so I hope you enjoy them well. Excuse me."

Saying this,Yang Mei hirroed out of the office leaving behind a thoughtful frown on Ah Hai's face and a befuddled look on Knox. Only Shi Ai seemed to be absorbed in eating the pastries. Knox turned to look at Ah Hai and said,"Your new assistant is weird. Tell me,like the precious ones,she hasn't done anything to seduce you,right? But now she is bringing sweet stuff for your wife. Is it possible she bends the other way and has become smitten with her? As in is she trying to be your love competitor?"

Ah Hai: ".."

Shi Ai (who had been enjoying the pastries): Cough Cough cough.

Not noticing their reaction Knox:"Thay would be a pity though."
