"Stupid!" Iris snapped after Bacon finished telling her about her husband and older brother's plan.
Discomfort, worry and anger filled her at the very idea of her husband being molested by another woman, especially someone who already expressed her desire to snatch Jin Liwei so many times before. Although Iris was sure that Jin Liwei wouldn't allow the other woman to actually touch him, she still felt the urge to gouge out Rose Young's eyes for being able to look at her husband in such close proximity.
Iris didn't notice that she was strangling Little Liwei. Good thing that the big teddy bear was top quality and could endure abuse like this without losing its shape.
"If it were me who had this plan, those two overprotective cavemen would never allow me to execute it using myself as the actual bait, and yet here they are doing something like this!" she fumed.
"Bacon knows, Mother," the black cat AI agreed with her. "That's why Father and Uncle Zihao don't want to let you know and want you to go home instead."
Iris' nostrils flared as she forced her temper back. This wasn't the time to lose her composure. Now that she knew about the men's plan, a sense of urgency filled her. Her fingers once again flew into a blur on her laptop's keyboard. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]
On the other seat beside her, a curious Jin Chonglin peeked at her laptop's screen and almost became dizzy by the rapid succession of pop-up windows and string of running codes. He studied Iris and found that she was very focused, so focused that it was kind of scary. He had no idea how she was able to identify and work on whatever the hell was happening on her laptop when everything was moving so fast. Was the space around her in fast forward or something?
Iris didn't know that her brother-in-law was thinking like this about her, and frankly, even if she did know, she wouldn't care. Then her eyes flashed with a cold glint when she finally spotted what she was looking for.
Her laptop was now showing two livestream videos from two different perspectives of the same scene. Bacon so kindly revealed to her that the livestreams were being recorded from hidden body cameras that both his Father and Uncle Zihao were wearing.
The first livestream showed the scene inside a standard hotel bedroom from what seemed to be taken outside the window. Bacon revealed that it was from Lu Zihao's perspective. It showed a naked Rose Young playing with herself and then leaning over Jin Liwei on the bed about to take off his clothes.
The other livestream only showed the ceiling at first. But when Rose Young leaned down, her face and her upper body including her two flat breasts and dark nipples appeared in the video.
"Ah, my eyes!" Dom immediately acted like his eyes were burning. "What in the devil's panties did I just see?!" Then he started gagging.
Jin Chonglin didn't react with exaggeration like Dom but his expression also showed clear disgust. "Yep, as flat as a board. Not that I discriminate against that body type because there are many beautiful women in the world with body like hers, but seeing what she's doing…dammit! Does that woman plan on raping my brother?!"
Iris' vision turned red. Little Liwei and the laptop were both thrown to the floor.
"Return to the hotel! Right now!"
The driver faltered but continued driving. The hospital was already in front of their sight, only about a hundred metres away.
Iris growled. Then she unlocked the door on her side and attempted to jump out.
"Xiulan!" Jin Chonglin reacted fast. He caught her and pulled her back, almost dragging her to his side of the van.
She managed to open the door a crack. Dom quickly jumped forward from the backmost seat and closed the door.
The van eventually stopped, parking by the side of the road where it would be safe from the main traffic. The driver had been frightened by his lady boss' actions. If she fell out of the vehicle, it wouldn't only be his big boss Jin Liwei who would demand for his head but also Mr. Lu Zihao. One man was scary enough. Angering the two of them at the same time would be suicide.
"Let me out!" Iris was still trying to open the door and jump out of the van.
Both Jin Chonglin and Dom were holding her back. They were having trouble not because she was stronger than them but because they didn't want to hurt her by restraining her with more force. However, she was indeed quite strong for a woman of her size.
Unlike them, she wasn't controlling her force. And soon, she was able to momentarily stun them with a few deliberate hits on their pressure points. She became free and immediately tried to open the door but it wouldn't because the driver used the master lock.
"Ketchup! Open the door!"
"But Mommy.…" her AI daughter whined and trembled on her fluffy white butt, unsure if she should listen or not.
"Bacon!"
A five-second pause.
And then....
"Understood, Mother."
The door unlocked to the dismay of everyone in the van, most especially the driver who felt helpless against the AI kittens that could override his control of the entire vehicle anytime.
Iris jumped out of the van. She was able to run a few steps before a group of people quickly surrounded her and restrained her with much greater expertise than Jin Chonglin and Dom.
"Miss Xiulan, please return inside the van."
"No! I need to return to the hotel and get to my husband! Get out my way!"
The group maintained their composure, not at all affected by her aggressiveness. They were Shadow Winds members sent to protect her.
"Please don't worry about Mr. Jin. Boss Hao will make sure to keep him safe."
Iris had now become too emotional to consider their reasonable points, her safety, and the current situation. They were on the side of a major road. Although there was no heavy traffic at this time of the evening, there were still a considerable number of vehicles driving. A few of them were curious enough to open their windows to see what was going on by the roadside.
