Crossing the boarders of the rain.....
As they both lay side by side, thought ran through qu mind, what if Leo wasn't. Part in all this, what if he was controlled by someone who would rather use an adult and inhale the wealth from it, it could be the case. She looked at Leo and the file with her, she put on her shoes and left the building. Suddenly Leo opened his eyes, he smiled and sat down on the mattress holding tight his pillow.
Hello, is this the carpi police division, I would love to make a report about a certain park, but I'm reporting as an anonymous, would you not make my name known, okay, I will drop the file with the anonymous team in waiting. { She hang up} it was qu, she had to do something to save the man she truly loved. She went to the anonymous team and dropped the file there and left.
She went back to Leo house, Leo was sitting down and watching TV, immediately she saw Leo she felt a little sense of being afraid and felt guilty, what if Leo found out exactly what she did? But isn't she doing it for him?
She prentends not to notice his presence and tries to walk into the room.
Where have you been? A muscular voice came up, she had goose bumps all over her body Asif she was going to catch a cold, she stood there, dumbfounded, without an iota of the exact words to say.
I asked where you are coming from? Leo voice came up again, this time he was coming towards her, she couldn't move as if she was a tv show he was watching that had been pirsed, words were trying to force it's way out but her lips stood still, abruptly, Leo eyes were red, he wasn't smiling, usually he could have given her his brick smile and subtle smile but at that moment she seem to have noticed a different kind of man, his smile had disappear, was this the real him? He looked at her with solid disappointment in his eyes said alot that his lips could not have expressed.
I'm sorry Leo. Her lips finally moved in a shivering way
What did you do?
I...
This is the police, we want to see mr Leo open the door! Sirens were coming from outside.
Leo smiled, left qu, asked his men to open the door.
Officers came in.
I want to search this house, we had a report that Mr Leo is into the drug business.
Where is your search warrant? Ning asked them stopping them from coming in.
Let them come, it's their job, someone report. He said
I am detective Kai from the Capri division and...
You got a tip! Search, the house is yours. Leo said looking at him.
His men followed them, they came back .
You are to come with us to the station for clarification. Detective Kai said.
ok. Leo said smiling.
You didn't see anything in this house, how can you ask him to come to the station? You even berge in without a warrant, don't you think we can sue you. Ning said.
Ning, he is doing his job. Leo said.
We have evidence that you aid a suspect and we are following up with investigations. Detective Kai said.
Okay, I will come to the station on my own. Leo said as the officers left.
He stood up, put his arms in his pocket looked at qu who had been standing still and left.
What was going on? No no, this was not how she expected things to turn out, not rubbing Leo. What was she going to do now.
Leo arrived at the police station, he was sitting in the questioning room.
Who is Mr park? Detective Kai asked him.
I should ask you that since you brought the name up. Leo said.
Do you think this is a joke and because of your father's connection you could play around.
Detective Kai, I don't care about my father's connection, I am an actor, a model and a student, don't you think this is a conspiracy to bring I and my father down during his election? I haven't done any crime in my life and if you don't believe me, you could carry on with your investigation.
Do you think this is a movie? Mr park is till alive! Where are you hiding the punk? How could a model be part of a crime?
I would rather talk to my lawyer and if there is further evidence you could release me before I sue you. Is obvious everything is fake. Leo said.
You rather go down than bring him down? How cowardly. Detective Kai said before walking away.
Leo came back to house and didn't meet qu, he tried calling her but her number wasn't connecting.he sat down.
The opening is in days sir, and they're asking you to come to court. The Chen's has been link to all of this sir, and your father has been calling. The hood day is also coming up, do you think we should cancel it? Ning asked.
Has anyone found qu? Leo asked ignoring his questions.
Yes, sir! Ning said.
Where's she? Leo asked.
She's in a bar. Ning responded.
Keep an eye on her.
I have a man watch her sir.
She is my theory, I can't afford to loose her.
What about this case sir? They are pushing to court too early.
You think this isn't my doing Ning? Leo said getting up. Prepare for the opening and the hood day. Get me a dress for the opening.
He said going to his room.
Qu was taking shots of alcohol, she wanted to clear her head. She staggered to the door, trying to leave, a taxi stood in front of the club, she entered.
She got to Leo house, his men opened the door for her, she went straight to Leo room, and tried to take off her clothes.
This isn't your room. Leo said with his deep muscular voice.
I love you Leo, I am sorry I am trying to save you.. she fell on the bed and slept off.
Leo looked at her and tried to place her well on the bed.
Qu had gotten a message from detective Kai to meet up.
They met close to the station.
How did you know it was me. Qu asked
I work at the anonymous team too. Detective Kai said.
I am dropping out of the case.
You can't.
Why can't I?
Court hearing is starting soon.
What?
Yes and we need you to testify against me park and not Leo since you want to help him out, that's the only way he can't be rob in it. Don't worry about safety, the police will offer that. I will be in touch. He walked away.
Qu sat down lost in thought for a while before she left.
She just left....it was Ning voice.
It was the court day, Leo worn an expensive watch and clothes, he had been coming to court looking all polish it was the final day,he sat down and allowed his lawyers handle everything, he was calm, at his calmest.
Suddenly the lawyer said he was going to bring out a witness.
It was Qu.
How did you get the file? The lawyer asked.
Suli.... A friend who had disappeared gave it to me.
Suli? Why would she use that name? What if suli was in trouble. No there were plenty of sulis out there.
I can't tell you how she look like.
After a long session, the judge gave his conclusion that Mr park had actually died years ago, his landlord had reported to the police and although his head was never found but his body was, he was a foreigner who lived in the house. He never liked pictures and after his death all of his documents went missing but the landlord could identify the body, Mr park at that time was still in debt owing about two hundred yuan for his rent and the case has been close because they couldn't find evidence to the exact murderer of that case and according to the name on the file she dropped, it was Mr park.the description suits him.
Although the judge closed the case, he equally said that the police will be on the look.
The file was forge and the link of Mr park to Mr Chen chan family forced.he warned her to leave such friends that would use her as a bait in a draw to pull down politicians.
Qu couldn't believe her ears.
After the hearing they stepped out of the court, me Chen was also there, it was the first time qu had seen Leo father physically,a man with huge appearance. He smiled. Qu wondered if Leo had gotten that smile from his father.
He cast a glance at Leo and reporters kept asking them questions.
Qu left.
Leo came to the house.
I think you need to stay somewhere, let's stay apart for a while.
Qu parked her things, she wanted to spend the night at the hotel before going back home, suddenly she saw a car trailing them, she asked the driver to stop the car and she came out, it was Wang.
I heard what happened.
From mian I guess.so you are still in touch with her?
She got back into the car and the driver left. Wang followed her even to her hotel room.
Wang, what are you doing here? Qu asked in an aggravated voice.
I never wanted to kill you, I only said I would think about it, I didn't know how to tell you qu, I can't hurt you.
They both laughed and qu hugged her.
Mian must think you are a fool. They both laughed, I miss you.
Leo was sitting on his sofa when his phone rang, it was his dad.
Okay dad I understand.
Get the car ready, he ordered one of his men.
He arrived in his father's office, he sat down.
You wanted to see me.
Your girlfriend made a report about the business, can't you see. His father screamed at him.
He smiled, I will handle it.
He stood up walk up to his father and placed his hand on his father shoulders. He whispered into his ears.
Don't ever raise your voice at me again, father. He smiled. And walked away.
It was the opening and Leo was at his best. The opening is a day where gangs meet in preparation for the hood day. Shin lu senior was seated, Leo walked up to him, he offered him a glass of wine.
How is the case going, you know, that girl is such a brat. Shin senior took his wine.
Leo smiled. Heard your son is interested in the minister position.
I....
Tell him, he will fail, my father has won already, and as for the case, I have been set free.
What will you do about Mr an? Isn't he going to be a threat to your master?
That tale is not your concern, shin, you have to be careful, the gang business is still alive thanks to us.
So is Mr park still alive? I will love to see what he really look like.
Leo smiled, don't cross the borders mr lu.
Shin senior walked away. And Leo took the whole wine in the glass all at once.
Wang and qu arrived at the pinn estate and Wang mum was happy that the girls were back together. Qu was feeling dizzy, Wang asked her what the problem was, she couldn't respond, of course she didn't exactly know what was wrong with her, she went in and hugged her mum who was still in the wheel chair, she would do just anything for her mum to regain herself. She felt like she wasn't herself, maybe it was best she go to the hospital.
She called a taxi, she wanted to be sure what was happening to her.
Tests were carried out and they asked her to go see a gynecologist, she got there and the gynecologist confirmed that she was pregnant. She couldn't believe her ears, she then suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen her period for some time. How could she keep this baby, what would Leo do if he found out, she was sure he hated her now more than ever.
The doctor could notice the look of uncertainty in qu eyes and asked her if she wanted to abort the pregnancy, she said if she wasn't sure she could have an abortion.
Qu couldn't stop thinking about everything, what she ready to become a single mother at that crucial state of her life, she was still a college student, wouldn't the scholarship she had work off be taken away, would Leo want the pregnancy especially now that she had caused a stair in their relationship, he wasn't even taking calls anymore. Wang came in interrupting her thought and asking her if she was okay, she said that she was. They both went in to eat.
Qu went back to the hospital, she had thought about it several times, she wasn't ready to become a mother just yet not with a gangster lover, weather he was a celebrity or not, he was still a gangster.
She was sitting on the long chair waiting for her turn when suddenly Leo came.
Leo... I..
You came for an abortion didn't you? This is not just you involve, I'm the father, couldn't you have atleast informed me? You can't just make decision on your own! I put it there! I am part of that child! My blood flows in his veins.
It's not just about you Leo! I'm too young to be a baby mama, I have a career, a life! I don't know if you have noticed but I'm still in college. I have a dream!
And you think you can't achieve it with this child in there? Ihe walked away.
Qu stood there not knowing what to do! The doctor came out telling her to come in, she left without saying a word.
Her pregnancy was a news she didn't know how to voice out, the child is innocent in all of this but what about her?
Leo sat on his bed, sweating profusely, then Ning came in.
Have you checked the date of an release?
Yes sir! It's tomorrow sir. Ning responded.
Get the car ready and put someone on qu.
Yes sir! We had a news on the shin from Ms Lin.
What did she say?
Mr lu is planning on sabotaging the hood day, he is working with the police, it has been confirmed that his son is running as the minister in the coming election.
That fool! Okay, get the boys ready...
Leo arrived at the police station, a young man within his age walked out.leo smiled and hugged him.
It's been a while an. He said.
Leo, you look the same, still doing dirty jobs for that old man?
An, we both know that you started it, let's just let it go.
I'm not a forgiving type! He used me, I'm going to take my pound of flesh.
You haven't seen him so I'm wondering how you are going to take your flesh, even if you cut me open you know that you wouldn't get the truth from me.
The girl. An said.
Which girl?
The one who gave out the news of park still being alive, she is your girlfriend isn't she?
I see you have been talking to your cousin. Leo said. Let's not do it here an, you just got out of jail, I'm pretty sure you don't want to go back there so soon. Leo said.an got into the car and they zoomed off.
They arrived at an exclusive apartment.
This is your new home. Leo said smiling.
Leo, did he asked you to give me this? After everything he has done? Isn't he also using you?
An, just take it. Leo said walking away.
Qu was sitting outside taking a cup of warm milk. She wish all this was not happening to her, atleast not now, that was when she saw a man approaching her.
Can I sit with you? He asked smiling at her .
The sir is long and big enough for a group of four. She said ignoring him and just concentrating on her milk.
I'm Leo friend, he said sitting down, is nice to meet you qu.
Well, it's not nice to meet you. She said .
I wondered how Leo could fall so easily for a girl who barely know what he is capable of doing and then I meet the girl and I'm wondering how she could fall for him too. An said. I am an, Leo and I are like the Romeo and Juliet type. Inseparable, I'm also mian cousin.
I didn't ask you. Qu said.
The hood, Mr park, you don't know the whole story of what you are doing, I was in the gang, park is just using Leo.
Why are you telling me this?
Because I lost the woman I ever loved, to this whole thing.
I'm sorry about that but I can't help you. Qu said.
Leo walked in angrily to an house.
You need a cigarette? An said
I came to warn you an, we go a long way but I will not have you putting her in this whole thing.
Who.
Qu! Stay away from her,Leo said .
The police just saw a man close to the shin company, he has been dead for days and his body was found. There has been a record with me shin voice in it, the senior son of the shin group who apparently is contesting for the minister position in the up coming election, the police has taken him in for questioning pertaining the demise of the man who has been identified as Mr gra who once worked for the shin, in the record found Mr shin has threatened to eliminate him if he didn't return the company's money which he had stole while working with them. Stay tuned for more at the Bes news. The reporter said.
Just then mian walked into the house.
Leo! You did it, didn't you?
Did what?
Gra, gra worked for you for years.how could you set him up.
Mian, how have you been?
Really? You are going to ignore me?
Mian, how is your father? Tell him I will expect him at the hood day and don't forget to visit an, I know you know where he is.
Leo! Leo! Mian chase after him.
A dead body was found close to the shin company with all evidence pointing at you and you still won't cooperate? Detective Kai said.
I have told you that I don't know anything about that man, he worked for my father years ago and he never stole any money, how on earth will I kill someone and put his body with evidence close to my company especially during this crucial election? Someone is trying to frame me up for murder. I am a persecutor and a business man, the senior son of the shin family and you think I will drag my reputation? Let me tell you, if you want to know how that man or whoever he is open an investigation. Shin said.
We have already done that and it seem he joined a group of gang, we don't know which gang but we do know that he was murdered. Detective Kai said.
Murdered by who? Certainly not me. I'm done talking detective , if you don't believe me, it's best if you talk to my lawyer.
His lawyer walked in. Let's talk detective he said.
After all investigation, shin was freed.
Hello father, yes, apparently, the evidence was fabricated, whoever did it is out to get my political campaign. What? The party is dismissing me, I told you I'm innocent, I will never kill gra, I feel the Chen is in it and Mr park too! Who do you think will pull such a stunt if not Leo. He is not small in his act, I know, I have thought of killing him too but it just isn't working, he even killed gra and brought his body close to my office and fabricated evidence, he will do anything to make his father win this election. Really? You will do that? I told you, I don't want the gun business I just want Leo, yes father I am coming to the office now. Okay.he hanged up and got into the car.
It was the election day, Leo was glued to his screen, the result was announced, and his father won.
I will make sure I serve my people with love and respect, thank you for this opportunity.chen chan said on television. He got out of stage and got into his car.
Hello father, yes! Congratulations. You don't have to come to the hood day, I will take care of that. Leo said hanging up.
Finally, the hood day had come, Leo worn his expensive watch, he hardly wear such expensive watch except during an occasion such as the hood day, to him the hood day was a day of reflection of the things he had achieve. He looked at the mirror and smiled. He picked up his phone and called Ning.
Prepare the car. As he step outside he looked at his house, he asked Ning if everything was ready and he responded, he got into a taxi and left. He was used to using his cars during the hood day but today there was a plan set in motion, he couldn't allow it waste. He got off at a long distance and rode on foot. After much walking he arrived at the space.
As he look at the people he smiled, they definitely will not start without him, the hood day was a day where gangsters, cartel, mafias and corrupt politician met to strengthen their bond. It was created by the park although apart from Leo no one knows exactly how the parks look like, the hood day is reminder that you are to be your brothers keeper and watch out, the park had saved alot of people from going to prison and protected their businesses, although no one had seen him except for Leo but they kept a high profile of respect for him and did his biddings because he had no small connection.as Leo made to walk towards the front, Mr shin lu senior walked up to him, congratulating him on his father's victory. Leo smiled reminding him of his place, lu tried to convince him to quit being a park boy and join the shin, he then reminded lu about how lowly he was especially at business it was the park that saved him and he shouldn't bite the fingers that feed him else he would be cut out and he will gladly look into his eyes and do it. Lu asked him about the gun business stating that he heard the business wasn't really doing well, Leo laughed off, telling him that whoever told him that was lying and the business is doing absolutely good. He asked him if that's the reason they are out. Leo laughed and told him to know his place, he left him and walk to the podium signing Ning as if they had a plan in motion.
Today hood day reminds us of resilience, how our business will flourish, rise to glass up in honor of the hero mr park. And a respect to his successor.leo said.
We need to see him, the new successor or whatever he is. If he can't show himself that means he isn't worth being a boss. One of the guest said.
I remember how you struggle to pay rent and feed off, but look at you, you are now in position, position to do whatever you want, you should be grateful.
Grateful? For what? Haven't I pay my dues? Yet he hides in his pit hole. He said.
Leo smiled. There are rats amongst us, a rat and a cat can't be in the same hood for long.
And who are you calling a rat young boy. Mr flang said. Mr flang is also mian father, he has been a member of the hood for long. He was not the type known for long talks but today was a different day.
Leo walked up to him and grabbed him by the neck. You think because I and your daughter had a thing you can talk back at me? Know your place, if it wasn't for Mr park you all would have either been died or still hiding, yet you disrespect his memory? His son has been crowned as the new hon group leader. You disrespect me as his underlining one more time and I wouldn't hesitate to cut your throat. Suddenly there were sirens.
Come out with your hands on your head. It was detective Kai and some police men.
What are you going to do now? What is park underlining going to do now? He said in a mocking tune.
Leo signal Ning and left flang neck, Ning then worn mask and released a gas, detective Kai and other police men had entered the room but it was dark , they were coughing, everyone left and Leo left through the back door wearing a mask, he walked to his taxi which had been repainted, and got in. By the time the gas had settled there was no one in the room to the surprise to Kai and the police, it seemed like their plan had been leaked.
Leo got off to a place close to his house, he came out with a different cloth and a face cap with a mask, he got into his own car which was a little distant from where the taxi had parked, he got into the car and drove to his house. He got to his house and came down, Ning bowed, apparently Ning and others had got off in another car as he made to go in, he noticed a stain, it was blood.
Sir you are bleeding.
Blood gushing from his head, he must have hit his head somewhere.
Let me get the hood doctor sir.
No, I will be fine, he said staggering into his house.
