The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 669: Mingshen's judgment (1)

Mingshen leaned back on his chair and lazily said, "Don't you have anything to say, my dear assistant?"         

    

Bojing was still processing the information. "I…I don't understand w-what is going on…"     

Zexi added to it. "Me too!" She watched Mingshen with anger and grievance. "You first made Bojing choose between you and me. You separated us for no good reason…" her eyes teared up, "And now you suddenly brought me here. Do you have any idea how horrible these ten months were for me!? I…I missed Bojing so much…and now you suddenly call me as if nothing happened! And…"     

She looked up at the man beside her and then at Mingshen. "How do you know Ming?"     

Bojing blinked.     

Ming?     

Mingshen raised his brow. "Of course, I know Ming. In fact my dear assistant here knows him too," he smiled.     

Bojing just blankly stared at him. "What…?'     

The man named Ming stepped in front of Bojing and smiled with his eyes brightening with happiness. "Bro Bojing."     

Bojing tilted his head and stared at him.     

Bro…?     

There was only one boy in his entire life who called him that way. That one younger boy who always stuck to his side in Li Dong's hell. The one who never abandoned him no matter how much the other kids bullied him. And the one who Li Dong had killed right in front of his eyes. The one because of whom Bojing had snapped into that vicious state for the first time.     

"...How?" A sharp tremble rang in his body as he came to the realization. "A-are you re-really that Ming?"     

He beamed. "Yes!"     

Naturally before he could speak, his tears spoke the emotions he felt within him.     

Ming chuckled. "You are still the same Bro Bojing as before."     

Bojing looked at Mingshen for answers because his brain had long stopped working.     

Mingshen shrugged. "Well if I had to save my life, I had to save his. Your vicious state is too dangerous for people to handle and you only listened to me when I assured you of saving him. Otherwise, I would have been dead by your hands. He was barely alive, but I managed to pull him through. And very obviously, he became one of my assistants too though he worked in a different lab of mine for all this time."     

His jaw slowly dropped.     

"Y-you never…" he gasped, "told me…" he hoarsely cried.     

He remembered the chilly and awful feeling of being unable to save little Ming at that time.     

"You didn't remember him in the first place. And I don't think you noticed but he has worked with you at times in my lab here. You just never paid clear attention to him."     

Ming smiled. "I used to come to the main lab now and then. But since you didn't remember me, you would simply glance at me and walk away. I was one of the many assistants after all."     

Before Bojing would spiral in guilt, Ming raised his palm and sternly warned him. "No crying! I don't blame you for forgetting me. In fact…" his eyes ached. "I couldn't feel happier to know that you killed those cruel doctors and guards all for my sake. You toppled their whole base only because I was hurt. I…I never thought you would do something like that for me. What you did is already enough for me, Bro. It was enough for me that you were safe and living your life well in all these years…"     

Bojing still couldn't control his tears and sobbed hard. "Ming…" his trembling fingers ruffled his hair.     

"Hehe you always used to pat me like this back then," he brightened.         

    

Bojing furiously nodded. He pursed his lips and stared accusingly at Mingshen. "Wh-why didn't you te-tell me about him after everything that had…"     

Mingshen snorted. "I had my own plans for introducing him, and I figured I could use him to judge this teenager here before I revealed him to you."     

Zexi widened her eyes. "Judge me?"     

"Of course. I enrolled Ming to your school and told him to get closer to you and eventually confess to you what happened today."     

She and Bojing gasped. "Why? Why would you do that?"     

Mingshen narrowed his eyes. "Excuse me? You thought I would hand Bojing over to you on a silver platter just like that? Ming, take this crybaby outside. I want to talk to this teenager alone."     

Zexi's brow twitched.     

"I-I…"     

Ming turned Bojing towards the door and pushed him. "Let's have our own chat outside, Bro. I will tell you everything."     

The door shut behind Zexi and being left with the person who was labeled as the evil doctor by everybody, Zexi really didn't wish to stay here for any longer.     

Mingshen leaned back on his chair, drawing a sharp scalpel out of his toolbox and twirling it carelessly in the air.     

"..."     

What is going on? She suddenly felt nervous as if she was sitting for some interview. She felt that that scalpel would hit her anytime now.     

"So you teenager."     

"I have a name," she grimaced.     

"Yeah whatever. I decide the names that I like to call people with," he smiled, "So teenager, tell me. Were you furious at Bojing when he didn't choose you ten months ago?"     

The silver metallic scalpel shone more pronounced in the air.     

Zexi frowned. "I was and am still angry at you."     

He raised his brow. "Not my dear assistant?"     

She blinked. "Of course not. I know how important you are to him. I heard about his childhood from him during the time we were trapped in Li Dong's base, and he told me how you saved him and practically raised him. How could I resent Bojing for choosing you? I am glad that he did. I would have felt more disappointed if he had chosen me. I didn't want him to choose a person he knew for only a year over a man he knew for years and who gave him a family and a good life to live. If he couldn't be loyal to you, then how could he have been loyal to me?"
