The Mafia King's First Love

Ruiling furiously stepped out, cursing at Xinyue. "Idiot. Stupid! Mean!" She sniffled. "Was there any reason to get so angry at me!? I thought he would be happy…" She stopped and had an urge to cry.

First, he cannot even give me a proper confession and now he dismissed me so harshly like that! That man really doesn't have a heart!

She saw a message ping on her phone, and her gaze darkened.

'Can we meet up, Ruiling?'

Tian Guo…

As if I would meet you anymore! It was such a torture to tolerate you.

Without replying to his message, she sent it to the trash folder and scoffed.

Such a fool to think that he could use me or my family for his gains.

When she woke up the next day and checked her phone, she choked hard seeing a string of Tian Guo's messages and missed calls. There were more than a hundred and her mobile screen was all filled with his text messages, all asking where she was and why wasn't she replying or that he wanted to meet her.

The hell! Was he doing this for the whole night!?

Ruiling gritted her teeth and straightaway blocked his number.

"So creepy! Damn it!"

Today, she was going to start working with Wei and Li in the company and the morning of her first day just got worse.

Wei and Li had an early meeting, so they left first.

Lihua grinned. "All the best, Ruiling!"

The twins tugged her. "Uiling. Best. Luck."

"Aww," her heart melted. "Thank you so much you guys! You are the best!"

They giggled.

On her way to the office, she saw an incoming call from Xinyue. She remembered their fight yesterday, and her heart filled with grievance.

Now why are you calling? Even if you want to apologize, I won't forgive you!

She cut his call.

Ruiling asked the driver to stop the car to buy some chocolates for the company staff. As she walked towards the shop, a hand popped out of an alley and pulled her in it.

She gasped and turned. "What the hell!"

But what shocked her more was the fact that it was Tian Guo.

"You…what are you doing here!?"

Tian Guo smiled in relief. "Thank God you are safe, Ruiling. I was so worried about you. You have not been replying to any of my calls or messages since yesterday."

Her mouth twitched.

Of course, I didn't. I am already mad at Xinyue and you are the last person I would want to talk to!

She tried to smile. "Well…"

"I thought you were in danger! I wondered if anybody in your family caught your embezzlement and punished you," he shook his head. "I was so afraid for you."

"No, it's not like that. I am being careful. So, bye."

"Wait, where are you going?" He blocked her way.

Ruiling frowned. "What do you mean? I am going back."

He smiled. "There is no need to. How about we have a meal somewhere? Just like always."

She tried her best not to show a disgusted expression. "Sorry but not today. I am a little busy."

"Is it so? No problem. I will wait for you. When will you be free?"

Her frown deepened.

Why is he being so stubborn today?

She smiled. "Like I said, not today. I am busy for the entire day-"

"Then in the evening? Or at night?"

"Tian Guo, I will text you back when I am done with work."

"When?"

Now, she was losing her patience. "I don't know! I told you I am busy. Why are you pestering me?"

She took a step sideways, but he blocked her way again.

"Tian Guo, enough!" She glared at him.

The driver peeked at the alley. "Mam? You didn't come out for a long time, so I came to check." He narrowed his eyes at Tian Guo.

She sighed in relief. "Thank God you are here. Let's go- Look back!" She suddenly gasped in horror.

A man was about to strike the driver on his head with a stick when he turned just in time and kicked the intruder on his stomach.

"Who are you!?" He grabbed his wrist and broke it, throwing the stick from his hand but suddenly, he gasped and shook hard with a taser shocking him with current.

"No!!" She covered her mouth when a second man appeared out of nowhere and attacked the driver. She saw him collapse and faint.

"Mam…Run…"

"Tian Guo!" Ruiling slapped him. "What are you doing? How dare you attack us!?"

He didn't answer but only smiled at her.

Suddenly, Ruiling found her vision blurring too as her body trembled with shock. She felt a stinging sensation in her back. The world turned dark before her as her eyes shut themselves.

—

"Hmmm…?"

Ruiling's head bobbed sideways as she regained her consciousness. She immediately felt pain in her back where she was stung by a taser.

"Ouch…"

She heaved breathlessly and slowly opened her eyes. She looked around in confusion and saw the driver on the other side, his hands and legs tied with ropes.

Her eyes widened. "Muno! Muno!" That was his name. "What is happening?"

She tried to reach him but found herself tied with ropes too. Her lips parted and she realized that they were being kept in a dark and dirty place. It smelled rusty. The only source of light in the room was a small window with three bars in it.

"So you are awake."

She heard a chuckling sound as the door opened. She froze watching Tian Guo come in.

"You…You kidnapped us here! You fucking bastard!"

He clicked his tongue. "Not really. I just brought you to my side."

"What nonsense!?"

He sighed. "What other choice did I have? I thought I will soon confess to you and we will happily get into a relationship. But you suddenly stopped replying to my calls and messages. Just like my Yiyi. I loved her so much. But she never looked back at me even once. Unfortunately, I let the anger get the best of me and I killed her. Ah, that was so tragic."

Ruiling froze. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

He killed a woman…?
