He immediately composed himself and said," Mr Jin Liwei what a surprise! I didn't expect to see you today." Jin Liwei entered and sat in front of him then said," Indeed. I was coming from somewhere then I decided to pass by." Tang Hu realized that he had to stop Caihong from taking the girl. What if Jin Liwei asks to see her? He had to act fast! Standing up, he said," Please excuse me Mr Jin Liwei. I will come back shortly."
"Sure," he told him. He left his office and after walking a certain distance, he got out his phone and called Caihong.
....
Leaning against the table, Caihong heard a sound of stilettos on the floor and his eyes turned to it's direction. His eyes first settled on her long slender legs trailing upwards her body. The short red dress hugged her voluptuous body showing all her curves in the right places. It had a plunging neckline that revealed her smooth Jade-like skin. Finally, his gaze settled on her face. Her almond shaped eyes that were complimented with thick long eye lashes and a thin sharp nose then luscious red lips. Her cheeks had a faint blush. She started feeling nervous under his scrutinizing gaze especially when he didn't say anything . She started wondering if she didn't look good. His long silence wasn't helping and she wondered if she looked that bad. "You look so stunning," he finally complimented her much to her relief.
"Thank you," she said. Just then, his phone rang and he checked to see that it was his uncle. He assumed that he wanted to tell him to be careful and therefore refused to pick the call. When he called non-stop, he finally decided to pick up. "Where are you Caihong?!!" he heard him ask with urgency. "Soon leaving, why?" he asked. "Don't dare take that girl away, Caihong! Jin Liwei is here," he blurted. A deep frown settled on Caihong's face and he asked," Jin Liwei? What is he doing there?" On hearing this, Li Fei's heart shuddered in her chest. Jin Liwei was here? She couldn't believe it. "Listen uncle, I don't care if he's there or not. I'm going on with my plans," he declared before hanging up. Returning to Li Fei with a smile, he stretched his hand for her and said," Let's go."
"No!! We can't go. That man is here," she said before running back to change out of the clothes. She was terrified of that man even though she had never met him. That name alone was enough to send chills down her spine. "Li Fei!!" Caihong remained calling her but she had already made up her mind.
Li Fei hurriedly changed back to her prisoner's uniform and wiped her face clean of all the makeup. She also tied back her hair into a neat bun. Coming out, she caught sight of the disappointment in his eyes and said," I'm really sorry but I don't want to ruin your life too. That man hates me to the core and everyone that comes close to me. Please try to understand." "I don't care Li Fei. You shouldn't be so scared of him. I'm here for you," he said. "Thank you but I've ruined enough lives already. I will be taking my leave before the head guard looks for me," she said and ran back to their section. Caihong's fingers curled into tight fists as he remained cursing that man Jin Liwei for ruining their dinner date.
After speaking to the guards not to let Caihong leave, he called the head guard and instructed her to locate Li Fei. He then went back to his office to find out the purpose of Jin Liwei's visit. "You took quite long, Tang Hu," he said the moment he came back. "I'm sorry if I made you wait. You know how things can be troublesome around here," he responded.
"Okay. I won't take much of your time. I came to warn you about your nephew, Caihong," Jin Liwei said and Tang Hu was taken by surprise. Of course, he had to find out. "What about him?" he asked feigning ignorance. "I want you to tell him to mind his work. Tell him that I don't want him helping that girl. This is not a charity organisation. Had I wanted her to be pitied, she wouldn't have been here. I thought to talk to you first because he's your family before taking matters in my own hands," he said. Tang Hu digested the information and said," Okay. I will tell him." With that, Jin Liwei left and Tang Hu called Caihong to his office.
"You're going to stay away from that girl, Caihong," he said the moment he sat down. "That's not happening, uncle," he deadpanned.
"If you don't listen to me, Jin Liwei will get her transferred to another prison where you won't be having such connections to see her. Is it what you want? Think twice about it," he decided to threaten him. "Did he say so?"
"He doesn't need to say it. He can do anything he wants," Tang Hu reminded him.
Li Fei narrated everything to Liling whose expressions switched from surprise, shock and then sadness. "He really did that for you?" she asked. "Yes." "What did Jin Liwei come here for? Did he perhaps find out that you two had plans?" asked Liling. "I don't know either," she answered. Just then, they saw the head guard come in their cell room and her eyes settled on them both before she left surprising them.
The next day, Li Fei was from doing her laundry when the head guard told her to follow her. Li Fei obediently followed until they reached the Warden's office. Offering a slight bow to him, the head guard left the two in the office. "Take a seat, Li Fei," he said and she thanked him before sitting down. "What is the relationship between you and Caihong?" he reached straight to the point and Li Fei's eyes widened in surprise. "Uhm... nothing of a sort. He is just a good friend," she replied.
