Chapter 50 - Plan B

UNEDITED- PLEASE WAIT FOR 1 HOUR

Even though Wan Yi Jun offered to drive Ming Yue home, she refused and got down at the city centre. She doesn't want her brothers to see how nicely her master treats his maid, especially Kousuke.

Kousuke was literally the eyes and ears of the short-tempered monster left behind in Daisun. Even if he hides Wan Yi Jun's existence from Tora for her sake, there is no guarantee that he will take the secret to his grave. One day or another, he might end up spilling the truth, and that's something she doesn't want to happen.

Though she often talks about other men to annoy Tora, he never took it to heart since he knew no one would stand a chance against him. However, that won't be the same case if he hears about Wan Yi Jun. Even if she doesn't want to acknowledge it, indeed, he was one of the good looking men she has ever met.

Tora would go crazy if he ever learns that his woman is getting associated with someone handsome like Wan Yi Jun, that too, a police officer. 

It wouldn't even take a minute for him to get a flight to imperial and show his authority over her.

In her 25 years of life, no one has ever been so possessive about her, not even her family, but Tora was an exception.

When it comes to Ming Yue, he always made sure to keep all of his potential rivals away from her.

Such a green-eyed monster won't listen even if she swears her loyalty. So it is better to be cautious from the beginning and keep Wan Yi Jun away from the boys.

By the time Ming Yue took a taxi to house, it was nearly twilight and as she expected, Kousuke and Yojiro were already waiting for her. 

"Nechan, why can't you take the phone calls? We were so worried about you?" Kousuke, who sat on the stairs to the rooftop house, almost jumped up as soon as Ming Yue appeared before him.

"You called me? Sorry, I forgot to take my phone when I went outside." She casually replied and walked past to enter the house. 

"What do you mean by forgetting your phone? How can you forget something so important? How can you be so irresponsible?" Kousuke, who got literally angry by her words, quickly reprimanded her as if she had done something terribly wrong.

"Sorry." Ming Yue said in an aloof tone while removing her sling bag without paying much attention to Kousuke's tantrums. She knew that Kousuke would try to call her a thousand times to check upon her and easily blow her cover before Wan Yi Jun. 

"Sorry? You are sorry, now? Do you have any idea how worried we were?" Kousuke asked his sister, who completely ignored him while washing her face. "Yoji, why are you standing there like a stray crow?"

As usual, he dragged the silent Yojiro to take his side. Unlike him, Yojiro looked calm and even got a cup of coffee for Ming Yue who returned home, tired and weak. 

Ming Yue smilingly took the coffee mug from him and sat on the couch as if nothing had happened. 

Just as Kousuke opened his mouth to continue with chiding Ming Yue, he finally meddled in the conversation. 

"How did it go?" He asked the girl who was silently sipping her black coffee. "Did you plant them?" 

"No. He rarely stays home, so planting a bug won't make any difference." She replied while glancing at her sling bag. In order to spy on Wan Yi Jun, Yojiro handed over some voice recorders and button cameras when Ming Yue decided to work as a maid. However, after watching the state of Wisteria gardens and young master Wan's busy lifestyle she felt that there is no point in bugging his house. 

"We need to look for some other ways or bug his office room." 

As soon as the words fell from Ming Yue's mouth, Kousuke stared at her in incredulous disbelief and shock. 

However, the rest of the two people in the room kept on talking as if Kousuke was invisible. 

"How about installing spyware on his phone? But you have to steal his phone, first." Yojiro began to explain his plan B which was apparently effective but riskier than anything else. 

"Wait for two days, let me see if he brings his laptop home." Ming Yue added with an expressionless face in her pretty face. Since Wan Yi Jun had no time to empty his bags and arrange his things, she doesn't want to go through his stuff and create any doubts. 

"What do you think, Kousuke?" Yojiro tilted his head and looked at Kousuke who sat there dumbfounded. 

Didn't he hear it wrong? 

Aa

"What are you saying Nechan? Plant a bug in the police headquarters? It's impossible. Last time, when we followed the team, we nearly escaped from a shoot out."

"Ne chan, it is not late yet. We still can leave."

"If you want to leave, you can, but I won't return to Daisun until the mission gets over."

"That police officer is too dangerous, Nechan. He had never lost a case in his entire service history, and guess what Yoji found about him today."

"He is gathering information about the mafia clans in Daisun. Almost every case he had investigated for the past few months were related to the smaller clans in Daisun. For some reason, I feel that the imperial police force is planning something huge." 

"We should leave this place as soon as possible."

"If they are planning something huge, then it's better to stay here and nip it in the beginning."

"NeChan, that's dangerous. We are short membered, and what if we get caught? I swear, even God won't be able to save us from the prisons."

"If God can't help us, then we should ask the devil."

"Ne Chan, please listen to us. They won't differentiate between men, and women...no one knows what they will do to you...if they catchs you..."

"No one knows what I will do to them either."

Hearing her words, Wan Yi Jun touched his forehead in frustration and took a deep breath before opening his mouth to admit the real reason behind their conversation.

"Miss Meng, I was just giving you a sneak peek at the possible questions you will have to answer soon." 

"You were kind enough to give me a job after seeing me at the worst. However, If you think that I'm unqualified to work here, it's better that I leave before I become a burden." She made sure to put her best act to persuade Wan Yi Jun at any cost. Not only the stay at Wisteria gardens would help her to keep an eye on the police investigation, but it would be the best cover for her mission.

It was like two birds with a single shot.

For a moment, Ming Yue couldn't comprehend what she heard and stared blankly at the man who stood before her.

"I didn't get you, master?"

It was true that he was worried about the possible rumours that might spread within his family when Han Ze Min or someone else heard that there was a young and beautiful maid in the wisteria gardens. "So, consider this as a pep talk."

"Master, are you worried that someone might mistake me as your mistress?"Ming Yue's eyebrows knitted together as she contemplated over the topic, only to let out a self-deprecating scoff.

"Good lord! master, are you really that dumb?" She asked the man who stood unflinching even after hearing her remarks,

Of course, he looked dog tired, but that doesn't minimize his charm. He was definitely one of the best creations of God.

"Nope...I don't stand a chance as your mistress." She shrugged her shoulders and stated in an appreciating tone without any reluctance. After all, she was very much aware of the existence of Wan Yi Jun's girlfriend, who was way better than her.

"Well, thanks for the compliment, Miss Ming." Wan Yi Jun said while trying hard to keep a straight face after hearing her honest remark. 

It wasn't the first time he received praise for his good lucks, but the way she compared both of them was the thing that made him laugh.

Does Ming Yue really consider herself a mediocre girl, or does she want others to tell her that she is an absolutely gorgeous woman?

"I don't understand why you are worrying about others' opinions?" Ming Yue jokingly asked. She couldn't believe that the almighty young master Wan feared people's judgements so much that he was ready to give her a pep talk.

"I don't care about what they talk about me. But that won't be the case if they drag you into this mess. I don't want anyone to target you and ruin your life." Wan Yi Jun spoke in a voice, so gentle and affectionate as if he really meant whatever he said about his maid.

However, Ming Yue couldn't gawp in disbelief when she heard something unexpected from him.

"Are you worried about me, an orphan?" She pointed her index finger at herself and asked in a doubting tone. 

"What exactly wrong with this man? Why is he hellbound on protecting some random woman when he already has a girlfriend? Isn't he worried that his actions might ruin his relationship with his girlfriend.?" She couldn't help but wonder whether he was loyal to his girlfriend or not. 

"Hmm, thank you, master. I will work my best, too." She replied half dazedly before pointing at the dishes in the sink, "If that's all, can I go back to my work?"

"When will you come back, master? Should I prepare your dinner before I go home?" Ming Yue asked an obvious question, just stay true to her role as the maid, "Or Should I pack food for you, then?"
