My Beloved

action

"Good that you came. I was waiting for you."

The person was sitting on a couch. The drug dealer they wanted to meet was finally in front of them. 

Noticing them entering the room, that person elegantly put down the cup.

Tang Yujin stepped forward and bowed.

"Thank you for meeting us as scheduled. I hope we aren't being an inconvenience."

The drug dealer chuckled in amusement.

"Oh no, silly. I like your enthusiasm, Song Li. From the very beginning, you have shown great interest in my invention and brought me many clients. You are one of our VIPs.

"You are my favorite client, Song Li. That's why you always get a 50% discount. However, you didn't bring new clients. I'm disappointed."

It was the Prime Minister's son, Song Li, who requested to meet the main head of the drug dealer months ago in order to become one of the top mafias in China.

The boy was surely ambitious but it helped the Chinese Secret Service. Thanks to that, Han Luo and Tang Yujin could find the source of the problem.

Tang Yujin sat down with Han Luo. He heard the complaint and regretfully said, "If it wasn't for my father's election and journalists swarming around us, I could easily do that."

The drug dealer leaned against the couch; eyes fixed on Tang Yujin's unfathomable eyes.

"Hmm, that's unfortunate. However, it doesn't mean you cannot bring any new clients. This time, you won't get any drugs."

Tang Yujin bowed and desperately pleaded, "Please give me another chance. After the election is over, I'll bring fifty new clients. I've already made a list of whom to bring."

The drug dealer raised an eyebrow, trying to understand whether to believe the client or not.

"Hmm? Is that so? Shall I check the list by myself?"

"Sure, I'll send you an email right this instant."

Tang Yujin took out his cell phone and sent a file to the email address.

At that moment, he was using the same model of phone that was used by Song Li. The list he sent was also created by Song Li.

The drug dealer checked the list and was pleased.

"I see you have worked hard. Fine, I'll give you a chance. After the election, be sure to bring them all."

Tang Yujin requested, "Please support my father in the election. It will give us more advantages."

"I know. I will do that. I'll ask my other clients to assist you. I'm sure most of the ministers and actors and actresses will help you, given the fact that they get the drugs from you with a discount."

"You are right. They should support my father for the sake of the drugs. I also had another request." Tang Yujin rubbed his palms.

"What is it?"

Tang Yujin stated, "I wanted to be a sponsor for your drug. I think after all this time being loyal to you, I've earned that."

"That's wonderful. I would love to have a sponsor like you." The drug dealer was delighted.

"For that, I want to know how the drug is being created. It's not that I don't trust you. As a sponsor, I wish to know the depth of the drug. Such beautiful things like diamonds, how can they be possibly created?"

The drug dealer listened to Tang Yujin's request and became quiet. The pair of sly eyes like a snake stared at Tang Yujin as though trying to read his innermost thoughts.

After a long time, the drug dealer smiled.

"Yes, you are right. You will be the sponsor and so, you need to learn what's going on. Nonetheless, is your girlfriend trustworthy?"

Tang Yujin laughed and hugged Han Luo. "She is a fan of yours. We started taking drugs at the same time. Your secrets will be safe with us."

Han Luo's face was tinted with a red hue. She bashfully bowed her head.

The drug dealer was satisfied with the response. "I see. Then, you two come with me."

They all stood up. Tang Yujin secretly took a glance at Han Luo who was walking beside her.

'That's strange. Why is she so quiet? I know Song Li's girlfriend was a shy type but little Luo is too quiet. At this rate, the drug dealer will be suspicious of her.'

While he was thinking about her behavior, Han Luo's head was buzzing. She was overwhelmed.

'No way! This person shouldn't be here. How can it be possible?!'

In confusion and nervousness, her stomach felt uncomfortable. She wanted to go to the washroom.

However, before she could ask, she saw a secret door being opened. They were taken to the basement.

The drug dealer started, "I've invented this drug by mistake when I was researching a medicine that could give a person absolute pleasure.

"Since then, I've been creating this drug. I need an actual diamond to make this drug. So, I've bought a few diamond mines in Africa. I hired some diamond specialists over here as well."

Han Luo and Tang Yujin looked inside the room. The room was divided by transparent glass. On the other side of the glass, some researchers were checking diamonds.

Tang Yujin was curious. "How do you make the drugs then?"

"I spent billions to make the machine. It can create two hundred drugs per hour. I've hired some developers from England to help me increase the volume of production. Something like two hundred drugs per minute. We will get a result soon. Let me show you around."

Tang Yujin gulped. 'Two hundred per minute. That's just too much. We need to destroy this machine before it reaches someone else.'

He kept looking around when he spotted a large white box. It looked like a coffin.

"Umm… this is…" Tang Yujin was hesitant.

The drug dealer smiled sweetly. "Oh, this? That's my husband's coffin. He died years ago. I miss him so much and so I keep him close to me when I work."

Tang Yujin pondered, 'Is this woman a psycho?'

"Your husband? What's his name?"

He stepped forward and saw the name written on the coffin.

HAN WEI NING

It was written in black ink. There was no way they could make a mistake.

Han Luo covered her mouth. She was so shocked that her blood felt cold.

'No way! I just met grandfather yesterday. It can't be him. If he died years ago, why wouldn't uncle inform us? There must be someone else inside the coffin. But then this woman… She is my dead grandma and there is no doubt. I've seen her picture many times already.'

Elder Madam Han aka the drug inventor aka the drug dealer chuckled as she observed the duo's reactions.

"Are you wondering who the Elder Han you met a while ago is? That's a body double, working in my husband's state ever since he died."

Tang Yujin was taken aback. He had known that Han Luo's grandmother died a long time ago. He never saw her picture anywhere.

Grandmother Han's picture was hung in Grandfather Han's room and nowhere else. So, others who didn't know her face had no recollection of her.

Tang Yujin apologized, "I'm sorry I wasn't able to recognize you earlier. I think family information should be kept hidden. I'm not interested in it. Thank you, Madam Han. Shall we go out?"

Elder Madam Han smirked. "What's the hurry? I've told you everything, but you don't seem to want to share for what reason you are here? That's fine too.. I mean, only a fool wouldn't understand why you two are here."
