Chapter 455 - 436: Tearing The Facade-I
Haruhi appeared to be taken aback by Li Lian’s demand even though she knew he must have expected this request of hers when he first agreed to the negotiation. "I can’t do that," Haruhi flatly refused.
Li Lian’s jaw tightened. She knew it was a great opportunity for her to know who was her true enemy that had been hunting for her life, wanting her to be dead. As much as she tried to act as if she has the upper hand in the negotiation, she needed the information from Haruhi and both of them currently has the same position in the negotiation.
"Then do you have an idea to what you can agree with?" It was Li Jun Wei who asked her the question.
"I can agree with helping Li Lian to find the truth of who had pushed her grandmother," answered Haruhi playfully.
The knot on Li Lian’s forehead tightened, "You," she said with her voice tight. "Did you put someone from your side to Xie Family House?" This man, not only had he been stalking her, but he had also put a person to spy on her grandmother!
"I can do what I need to do. I am a Yakuza, and I live up to my title, don’t you agree?" Haruhi chuckled upon seeing her expression. Li Lian tightened her hold on the table, only softening her clutch when Li Jun Wei’s cold hand covered her palm. "What do you say?" Haruhi then questioned her.
"We can find that on our own," Li Jun Wei answered. Li Lian felt thankful for he had calmed her nerves before she go ballistic on Haruhi, letting him to use her emotions for the negotiation when she had to be rational-minded. "Finding the assailant is easy once you have the tail." But they were not able to catch who were pursuing Li Lian as all tails they manage to catch burn to ashes with the person’s meticulous detail in killing all evidence that could ever lead to them.
Pulling herself together, Li Lian then said, "We need something better. A negotiation that would make you lose something. I don’t take it well that I am the only person who need to offer a risk when you did not."
Haruhi hummed in a thought, tapping his feet as he stared to her eyes, as though trying to daunt Li Lian but she had long passed from being daunted by other’s hard gaze. "What if I promise you I can help you in the future. Whatever help you need and I will oblige."
