Chapter 1109 - Their Dooms Were Always In The Plans Of The Devil.

Qi Shuai thought for some more time. Zhen Qinrou was not a simple personality to him. Though he had no evidence against her, his suspicions on her were still strong enough to keep him on alert regarding her. 

"LanLan, I know it wouldn't sound good for me to ask you this, still I am taking the risk. Do you think your mother could have people to do her work in private? I mean not particularly like the dangerous goons but someone similar to them?" He paused to ask very cautiously. The hesitation was clearly written over his face as if he knew that asking that question about a mother from a daughter, he wasn't doing the right thing. 

But his hesitation was his own wishful thinking as Feng Yi Lan didn't mind anything while answering him. 

Pondering over the question, she took her time to think about it before replying. "Ehh … I can't be too sure about rejecting that one idea since often I suspected my mother about it. After all, without the family special guards around her, how could she still get so many pieces of information from around? There must be people she would have hired. Also, I can't forget a few months back when I used to feel someone following me all the time. I felt it was people hired by her." She said as she remembered the feel of stalkers around and felt the hair of her back rising. 

Quickly shrugging those memories, she added, "But I was still comfortable since I knew that more than that stalker, I had the shadow bodyguards around who would not let anything happen to me. Did those shadow rangers inform you something?" She asked, not understanding from where this sudden question surfaced. 

Qi Shuai shook his head. "Nope. Those shadow rangers have just been assigned to remain in the shadows and protect. They would not interfere until they see the danger coming. So even they were someone stalking you, those stalkers must be maintaining a safe distance from you to escape the circle of those rangers, so we got nothing to hear from them." 

He said and understanding the system, Feng Yi Lan nodded. But then furrowing her brows, she asked, "So do you think it can get dangerous?" 

Qi Shuai's expression turned stiff and serious before humming with mysteriousness, "Dangerous or not, we can't be sure of it now. But since those people are someone, we are still unaware of; there are chances are of it getting dangerous, sooner or later." He said before noting something in his thoughts. 

Zhen Qinrou might already know how their defense systems and teams are designed.

While at the same time on the other side, the family of three had also left the premises of the main mansion. While Li Wei was tired, resting with her eyes closed with White Ears in her arms, Li Xue was looking out of the window. 

Feng Shufen was also sitting on the side, enjoying the air of silence and peace. But suddenly, Li Xue turned to look at him with doubt in her eyes. She wanted to ask him but then held herself back not sure of her query. 

Feng Shufen noticed her skepticism and stared at her, willing to give her the chance to come up herself. But when he saw her turning back without letting her thoughts out, he spoke, "If there is something you want to ask then holding back won't make a change." 

Li Xue turned to him in confusion, "How so?" 

To which, the man looked at her with a poker face to add, "Since you won't be able to hold your curiosity for longer. Then why to make waste efforts." He said and Li Xue opened her lips to complain. 

"You …" 

But before she could say anything, from the front, a hint of laughter escaped Du Fan's lips, making her close her lips again. 

"Mr. Driver, you are siding with your Young Master as well? Sigh, I never saw you switching the side."

Du Fan shook his head and was ready to apologize but Li Xue didn't offer him a chance. Instead, turning to Feng Shufen, she narrowed her eyes to continue, "And Mr. Beelzebub, what's so wrong in not being able to hold the curiosity? Didn't you promise to answer all my confusion and queries always?" 

Feng Shufen deadpanned, shrugging his shoulders in nonchalance. "I never considered it to be bad. I just asked you not to hold it back. Ask if you have something in your thoughts." He said and at his pun like that, Li Xue pursed her lips. 

"Mr. Beelzebub, what I wanted to ask is very simple. But I fear that the reply will be something I won't be able to understand. So …" 

"I would try." Without letting her complete, Feng Shufen assured and Li Xue's brows quirked up at those words. 

But then omitting them she asked, "Mr. Beelzebub, I wanted to know when did you plan to counter your relatives regarding our matter. It doesn't seem like it was a one-day event. The preparations must be going on for months now." 

"Since always." 

"Huh?" Li Xue felt she has misheard. But when she saw the seriousness on the expression of the man, she repeated, "Since always? Does that mean that even the elite marriage certificate was a part of a plan?" 

If it was like that, then has she been dreaming in her own fantasy world? Nope, she doesn't want it to turn her wishful thinking.

Feng Shufen stared at her before denying it. "Elite contract wasn't a part of it. The choice of that marriage certificate was solely to show my certitude towards you."

Though a certificate like that didn't matter too much in their relationship, still Li Xue sighed in relief. "Then what exactly did you mean since always?" 

"Plans of taking their soul under my control." He said and it was then Li Xue understood what the man was talking about. It was the acquisition of all those properties that were coming in her name earlier as compensation. 

This man … was surely richly intelligent and cunning for his own good. Poor relatives! Who would have thought their doom was always there in the plans of the Big Devil?

Li Xue wanted to pity them.. But then why should she pity them? Wouldn't they want to push her down? This suffering was serving them good and they deserved it.
