Chapter 371 - A Secret Scheme Between the Brother and Sister of the Lu's

Zhou He met Lu Qi at a coffee shop they used to visit.

“I’ll wait for you in the car. You can go by yourself.” Bear parked the car and glanced at the back mirror.

Lu Qi was not too polite with Bear and got out after a cold sniff. Zhou He waved at her from the shop window.

Bear saw her go in and picked up the phone to call Jiang Rui.

“Mum!” Lu Qi was a little surprised, “Why do you look so gaunt?” It had only been two days, but Zhou He seemed to be ten years older.

Zhou He saw her daughter and couldn’t help crying, “Qiqi, you still don’t know that your father has a woman outside who has two children of theirs?”

“What?” Lu Qi’s face turned pale, “Who told you that? When did that happen?”

“Yesterday I ran into Mrs. Li who used to play mahjong with me. Her husband told her once he got drunk. The bigger one is a daughter who is thirteen years old. The younger one is a boy. He is eight.” Zhou He said angrily, “No wonder he wants to divorce me. He already found a backup.”

Lu Qi held Zhou He’s hand and said, “Mum, you definitely can’t divorce with my dad, or my brother and I will have no future.”

Lu Tao hurried over just in time. His face seemed handsome on usual days, but at the moment, it looked grim and evil. “Qiqi is right. We can’t be deserted.”

“So now the only hope is on you!” Zhou He stared firmly at Lu Qi, “You have to marry Jiang Rui. If you marry him, your father definitely won’t take those children back.”

Lu Tao was still frowning, “Stop dreaming. It is a military marriage. You will have to be on a military court if you break a military marriage.”

“Then what should we do?” Zhou He panicked, “What if it’s not our responsibility?”

Lu Tao ground his teeth, “Now we have no other choice.” Up to then, he had to depend only on himself. He couldn’t let those children come and steal the property from him.

“You don’t have to marry into the Jiang family. It will be okay if Jiang Rui stands out and speaks for you.” There was a sign of craziness in Lu Tao’s eyes, “As long as you can sleep with him and let everyone know of it, you can get all you want if you are Jiang Rui’s woman, even if he doesn’t marry you.”

“Then… what about Chen Chen?”

Lu Tao stared at her, “Why do you care about her? If you can keep Jiang Rui with you and bear a son for him, Chen Chen and her daughter won’t be able to defeat you.”

“Right! Right!” Zhou He said excitedly, “Qiqi, your brother is right. You are beautiful and know how to arouse a man’s care. No matter who Jiang Rui is, he is a man!”

Lu Qi felt so excited inside, as if she had slept with Jiang Rui already.

“Okay!” She touched her face and said, “The doctor said my face would be okay within a few days, then I will take action.”

Lu Tao patted her shoulder and said, “I’m responsible for the arrangements and whatever you need to lead Jiang Rui a hotel.”

After their scheme was settled, Lu Tao left first to avoid being noticed. He had something more important to do, which was to find the children and the woman his father had outside.

The moment Lu Qi and Zhou He went out of the coffee shop, a car was parked in front of them and several men in suits got out.

“Miss Lu, we are from the National Security Agency. Please come with us,” A man said to Lu Qi with a certificate in his hand. Lu Qi was scared and hid behind Zhou He, “You… what do you want? I’m protected by Jiang Rui.”

The man obviously looked more serious when he heard Jiang Rui’s name, and his tone was cold, “We will tell that to Officer Jiang. Hurry up and get in the car.”

“Where do you want to take my daughter to in plain daytime?” Zhou He asked. Those people saw them unwilling to go and were about to help them. Then Zhou He called out, “Police, help! It’s kidnap…!”

Bear slowly walked over, “Ah, it’s Director Zhao! What are you doing here?”

The one who had just talked to Lu Qi was the Director Zhao in Bear’s mouth. When he saw Bear, he seemed very embarrassed.

“You are in such a hurry…” Director Zhao smiled bitterly, “Officer Jiang asked you to take her back?”

Bear nodded casually, “Or else? Am I here to treat you to a cup of coffee?” He laughed, “If you want, you can have it at our place. I’m sure you will feel very cozy there.”

“We want to check what virus it is.” Director Zhao looked at Bear, “It can’t be an ordinary one that you can’t find out. We can investigate together. Maybe we can be more efficient working together.”

“You should first take out the rats in your department.” Bear glanced at him then said, “Miss, why don’t you come here? You want to go with them?”

Lu Qi walked to his side hurriedly and stood behind Bear. Zhou He waved at her and disappeared.

Bear took Lu Qi along to leave. Director Zhao shouted hard behind them, “How about after the New Year? Can you give her to us after the New Year?”

“Then it’s up to our master.” Bear didn’t even turn around.

After they got into the car, he said to Lu Qi when he was starting the car, “Miss Lu, did you see it? Just stay with us. If you leave my master’s protection, they will take you back instantly.”

“Why would they want to catch me?” Lu Qi didn’t understand when he messed with the National Security Agency.

Bear held the steering wheel and laughed, “To do research!” He gestured cutting, “They will dissect you and see what virus you have.”

“Ah!” Lu Qi covered her hand, “I promise I won’t leave.” Inside she started planning and then thought that she would have a chance to follow Jiang Rui every day. It was almost the New Year and she could go to the party with him.

She heard Tuan Zi tell Ying Cheng that they went every year. Lu Qi thought that day would be a great chance…

Back to Jiang Rui’s home, Lu Qi decided to maintain a good relationship with Chen Chen, so she asked Chen Chen into her room to study how to care for her skin. Chen Chen helplessly looked at Jiang Rui, but he completely ignored her. But Tuan Zi gave her an eye which meant she should be tough and defeat her.

“Master, I told you to put a detectaphone on that woman. Why didn’t you agree?” Bear said angrily, “You even spied on your wife.”

Jiang Rui drained some tea behind the desk and said, “It will be used by our enemies if we put that thing on.”

“Lu Qi and her mother looked sneaky today. And Lu Tao, he used to seem polite and handsome, but today he looked strange.” Bear was worried that he didn’t hear what they schemed about.

“I guess the woman Lu Youwei has outside has been exposed.” Jiang Rui put down the cup, “I looked down on Lu Tao who seems to be ambitious but never knew how to scheme. His father’s woman can be easily found out with a little investigation, but they have been cheated for over a decade.”

Bear said happily, “Such a stupid brain wants to strive for the inheritance.”

“Now he seems more worthless to me.” Jiang Rui smiled and said, “Ask two people to watch him. He is a sober wolf now and can bite people to death.”

“You want to get involved in the matters of the Lu family?” Bear asked in surprise, “Didn’t you want them to get upside down?”

Jiang Rui tapped on the table, “I’m afraid their trouble is not big enough. I can help them if necessary…”

Jiang Rui took out some boxes of food to heat at dinner because there was not enough room for the food Bear had delivered. Lu Qi cutely sat by the side, letting the whole family sit together.

“Xie Hong called and asked me to choose the dress.” She looked at Jiang Rui and continued, “which means that you would go with me?”

Jiang Rui picked a crispy meat for her, “Of course, I’ll be there with you!”

Chen Chen trembled at his words when Lu Qi smiled lightly, “Chen Chen, I will choose my future husband according to how Officer Jiang is. He is such a good man!”

“Haha…” Chen Chen lifted her lips, “You can’t run into a good man if you stay at our home all the time.”

Tuan Zi gave her mother an eye of approval!

Lu Qi said hurriedly, “I think I affect you a lot too. After the party this weekend, it will be only two days before the New Year and I will move back home.”

“Then who will protect you?” Chen Chen looked at her amazedly. She made such a great effort and Chen Chen heard from Ying Cheng that her parents would divorce. Just then, she was voluntarily trying to leave?

Lu Qi smiled at Jiang Rui, “Officer Jiang will send someone to protect me, right?”

“Of course my brother will protect you,” Ying Cheng interrupted, “But Miss Lu shouldn’t do anything strange, or you may find yourself trouble. By then no one will be able to help you.”

Jiang Rui narrowed his eyes and said, “My soldier will guard by your door and wait all day long for your orders.”

“Great! Then I can go to the party free from worry!” Lu Qi said, “I have prepared the dress.” As for Ying Cheng’s warnings, she completely ignored them.

Chen Chen understood that she wanted to go to the party. But the Lu family could go too.

“If she can go to the party with you, others will think my brother accepted her.” When washing the dishes, Ying Cheng whispered to Chen Chen, “Even if she has no relations with my brother, she will seem special enough.”

Ying Cheng said proudly, “To be clear, she is using my brother to elevate her own status.”

“Huh, it’s your brother, not you. You don’t have to be so proud.” Chen Chen stared at him and said, “Just wash your dishes!”

In a dark room on an island in the Pacific Ocean, a man who was badly hurt lay in a corner.

“Is he still alive?” Two foreigners looked in from outside the window. The one who had yellow hair nodded. “Yes!”

“Get him a comfortable room. He is the only one who can contact Heifeng. He will be of great use in the future.” The man who wore sunglasses ordered, “Stop beating him, especially you. If you want to have fun, go out to do it. You have raped him already. Don’t you feel disgusted about it?”

The man with yellow hair revealed a lascivious eye. He licked his lips and said, “Don’t worry. I can promise he will not die.”

“Mr. Man…” A black man came over, “News came from Asia that the woman who had accidentally swallowed the virus had an aberrant symptom.”

“What?” The man who was wearing sunglasses was in shock, “Are you sure?”

The black man nodded. “Yes.”

The man with sunglasses who was called Mr. Man circled around and whispered to himself, “How is that possible… how is that possible…?”

Then he said excitedly, “Prepare the plane, I have to go there in person.”
