Secret Wife Is A Crazy Beast

-- Moshi Corporation Capital City Offices --

After dropping Lina to work, Shen headed to the Moshi Corporation capital city offices. It was, after all, a Monday. He'd been irregular at the office since Lina's recovery and he was needed urgently.

As soon as he walked into the front lobby, all the staff stood up to greet him. Ayu was by his side speaking continually, updating him of the progress.

Suddenly he stopped in his tracks and turned to Ayu.

He blinked twice.

"Didn't I banish you to HR for allowing my parent to steal my wife's attention?"

Ayu gulped. She had assumed she could inconspicuously resume her position as his right hand without him noticing. She miscalculated how petty this devil was.

She cleared her throat and steeled herself.

"With all due respect boss, don't you think I'm more useful away from HR?"

Shen sighed. He did need her working on more important things. Especially since Ro-kun was bedridden, recovering from the gunshot wound.

Shen pinched the bridge of his nose. The shooter was also still unidentified. And the threatening message in the bullet was still bothering him.

They hadn't found out anything concrete at the masked ball at all, except for the fact that Yinan had no security footage of the sniper that tried to kill Shen.

Yes, he needed Ayu to run point on multiple investigations concerning their safety, as well as a series of new business deals that were coming in to replace their contracts with Yinan.

"Very well. But you need to show me some results on our open investigations on various matters. I want you to use James to hack into the city security systems to find any surveillance materials on the person who shot Ro-kun. They have a made a direct threat at us and we have to uncover their identity before they strike again.

Second, I want updates on my table tomorrow afternoon about the investigation on the two assassination attempts on Madam's life regarding the sniper and the trucker who hit her. Find any connections between these attempts and that man - Victor Tachibana. He's going after Lina directly. Especially after he pulled that attempted kidnapping on her.

Third, the two prisoners we are holding...the most dangerous ones, see what they are up to. We need to be alert even if they have nowhere to go."

Shen grimaced after giving Ayu the third and last task.

The two prisoners he had been keeping for the last couple of years, they had caused the most pain to his family.

Rumours had often swirled around his reputation because of them.

Shen Moshi, the cold-blooded head of Moshi Corporation...the man who didn't flinch when he killed his own family to gain power.

Ha! What a joke! If only people knew the real truth behind the lecherous sc.u.m he shared his flesh and blood with!

Ayu's eyes widened at the sheer amount of information she would have to collect while dealing with some very dangerous people.

She didn't care though. As long as it was for Lina...she would put her life at stake.

Just Shen didn't know that. He didn't need to know it.

"Yes boss, I will get on it immediately."

Before he walked away, he turned and reminded Ayu of something that took precedence over everything.

"Ayu, have Housekeeper Tan deliver madam food and her medical supplements to her office."

Ayu nodded.

Shen took the elevator up to his office. He gazed lovingly at his office door and yet another top notch security system with the most precise biometrics installed.

He sighed, hoping Lina would spare the door when she came back his office again.

As he walked in, he received a call from reception.

"Sir, your father is here. He is on his way upstairs to see you right now."

"Yes, thank you."

Soren Moshi was at the offices today to discuss important matters of business between one of their covert, yet most profitable partners so far.

The Lim family.

"Son, I've been in contact with the Lim elders. They continue to pressurise me on...that matter. To further consolidate our ties with them."

Shen frowned.

The arranged marriage?

"Father, please make the Lim elders understand that I am not interested in their daughter. Besides, you already have a daughter-in-law!"

Soren chuckled.

"Of course I only care about my precious daughter-in-law. But they are holding on to the issue steadfastly. The only way to discourage them is to let them know that you are already married."

Shen sighed. No, there were too many variables...too many unknowns in the equation. Lina's identity must not be revealed.

"Father, I want to protect Lina. As deep as our trading and business relationship go with the Lim clan, you know that they have never been too forthcoming with us. We work with them in the shadows. Our relationship is based on a foundation of mutual profit, not trust."

"Shen, it's not the elders I am so worried about. It's the son. The heir...he's capricious and eccentric. Slightly crazy in the head. There's no saying what he'll be up to one minute to the next. I've heard...stories."

Shen's frown grew deeper as he listened quietly to his father's words.

He had also heard about this famous heir to the Lim family. He was slightly younger than himself, but they didn't even know his first name.

This man was a total mystery and could spin things around very easily, given the amount of money the Moshi's and Lim's had invested in joint projects.

"What do you suggest I do, father? Shouldn't we know more about the heir?"

"Yes. This is precisely what I'm here to talk to you about. The upcoming agreement for the shippings from country A."

Shen smiled slowly.

"We'll just have to discuss that matter with the heir in person, won't we?"

Soren nodded in approval. This son was proving more and more reliable and capable as the head of his empire.

Shen was the only thing in his life Soren was proud of.

The other two...such rotten apples.
