Chapter 180 - Why Deceive?

As she watched Lu Chang retreat, Xie Eun looked at her husband with questioning eyes. She had planned to handle Lu Qianjin and Lu Chang but not like this! Not until Lu Chang was so broken. As guilt assuaged her, Xie Eun felt her stomach churn and her head ache. She wanted to know why they had to be so ruthless to someone who was just a by stander. It was Lu Qianjin who had attacked them and him who had planned and executed everything. Yes, it was Lu Chang's money but Qianjin had been careful in his planning. He had taken care to use only so much that would not arouse too many suspicions. Wasn't Lu Chang's biggest mistake in trusting his family. The same way she had?

Without her saying anything, Yu Seok placed a hand on her back, massaging it comfortingly. He knew what was going on in her head and would let her try to handle it until she was ready for the answers. Yes, it was indeed disturbing to her and would weigh on her conscious but some things needed to be done.

A little while later, Cheng Mo drove Wolf's car while Xie Eun lay with her head on her husband's shoulders, her heart heavy. Wolf looked at his wife's downtrodden expression and sighed. Why did it look as if she was the one who had been at the losing end? He knew that she had planned to only take Lu Chang's hotel and let them escape with the rest of the money. Heck she had even prepared some compensation money for them. He would have let her get on with it but when he had been told about the attack Qianjin had planned and realizing that Xie Eun was walking into the trap set by the man for another person, Wolf had realized that as long as there were innocent people involved, his wife would not be able to become hard hearted. And as long as she had a soft heart, she would draw the short end of a stick. He could only be grateful that her guards had caught on that something was off and Cheng Mo had been unusually sharp and informed him immediately. It was also why he had rushed to the place even after the goons had been caught. Rubbing his forehead, he explained," Eun-a, what do you think would have happened if you had come a little while later?"

Xie Eun literally shuddered to think of the wreckage she would have arrived to if she had been a little later. Those goons had been trying to tear at the girl's clothes and the little child was being forced to watch even as he struggled to escape and go to his mother. Such an innocent child who knew nothing... She looked at Wolf with wounded eyes as if asking him why there were such horrible people in the world. 

Wolf shook his head at her naivety and wanted to groan about the unfairness of having such a soft hearted wife. "Eun-a. You are still thinking like a human! And these people are less than humans. And to bring Lu Qianjin to his knees and defeat your enemies once and for all, you have to think like them! Because they are low life's who have no limits and no morals. Why do you think Qianjin targeted the woman and the kid? Lu Chang was supporting them and Qianjin had everything he wanted. Then why? Because he understood that they were Lu Chang's weakness. Once he lost them, he would turn irrational and all Qianjin had to do was brainwash him to make him believe that this was your fault. Qianjin thought of using this weakness against him. Qianjin wanted control and thought nothing of sacrificing his brother's happiness and two innocent lives in the quest for it. Now you have saved these people today, and Lu Chang escape, thus Qianjin and Lu Chang will turn into enemies. By taking away all his hard earned savings, we have directly blamed the main culprit that is Qianjin. At this present, the person who Lu Chang hates the most is Qianjin. The reason we have made him choose is so that he would remember that this was his choice. By letting him know about his brother's plan we have appropriately reminded him to be on his guard always. From now on, if something were to happen to his family, the first person to be blamed would be Lu Qianjin. By making Lu Chang believe that he was going to live in poverty, we have aptly directed his attention to survive. And his wife has not left empty handed. Your people have provided them enough money that they should be able to live comfortably for at least a month if they spend it wisely. This will be our kindness to him. A new chance to survive and live peacefully. What they make of it is up to them.. So my dear Eun-a put your mind at ease and think of handling Qianjin. He is currently in Lounge A, enjoying his brother's impending doom. "

Eun-a looked up at Yu Seok gratefully. She would never cease to be amazed at this man's thoughtfulness. He took with one hand while giving with another. She looked up and placed a small peck on his cheek whispering," You are such an amazing man."

Yu Seok looked down at his wife with a smile and nodded in acknowledgement, "Now you know!"

Xie Eun stared in astonishment at this comment to her compliment and remarked, "And a conceited man."

Grinning now, Yu Seok murmured. "Of course."

Her mood uplifted, Xie Eun smiled and cuddled even closer to her husband. Cheng Mo, who sat in the front driving wondered why he was being punished by this dog food! Why? Why did the boss have to choose him to drive today?

He actually felt as if he was an old man watching young children flirt.
