Chapter 196 - You're crazy

"It's the company I keep."

What does she mean the company she keeps? She was obviously accusing him and his brother falsely.

He looked at her as if she were an alien from space. "Sister-in-law, you can't be like this. Do you really want me dead? What kind of grudge did we have in our past lifetime?"

Both choices were terribly wrong for him. If he helped his sister-in-law do something behind his brother's back, he might have a fall out with his brother. But if she was really serious about telling on him to Xu Liaowen, although he no longer had feelings for Mrs. Xu, it would destroy all those years of friendship and make things extremely awkward among the three of them.

"So, what do you think? You have ten minutes to decide."

Lu Shaoting looked at her in disdain. "Thanks but no thanks, I don't need them. I'll help you but you must not get hurt. If anything happened to you, I would be burried with you."

"I knew you would say yes!" she cheered, but Lu Shaoting looked at her as if she was a devil that had sucked out all the life from his bones.

Wan Jia tapped his shoulder. "Cheer up. As a reward, I'll give Su Ling the afternoon off. She doesn't have much to do anyways."

Then she skipped away.

...

At night, Southside Villa.

"My love, how long will your business trip last?" she asked cutely as she hugged Lu Aotian from behind.

"At most four days ." he answered.

"You are going on Monday?"

"Mmm."

That was a shorter amount of time than they needed but it would be fine, right? It was already good enough that he would not be gone for only two days.

"I'll miss you too much." she acted cute.

Lu Aotian smiled. "Of course you will miss me. Look at how handsome I am. It will be a surprise if you don't miss me."

"..." Must you be narcissistic?

Wan Jia texted Yun Xuan and told her that they would meet on Wednesday. Before then, She and Lu Shaoting would plan everything out perfectly. No mistakes were allowed.

On Sunday night, Wan Jia helped Lu Aotian prepare a luggage. He couldn't help but notice that she looked a little excited, as though she was plotting something.

Even on Monday morning when she and Lu Shaoting saw him off at the airport, he could tell that the two of them looked strange. These two...what kind of trouble were they up to?

Although he knew that Wan Jia was not one to find pleasure in courting disaster, Lu Shaoting was so skilled in causing trouble that 'troublemaker' should have been his middle name.

His gaze shifted between the two of them briefly. Never mind. He would watch over them.

....

Finally, Lu Aotian had boarded the plane. The two troublemakers broke into discussion as soon as they got into the car. "Let's revisit the plan. First, I get a new laptop."

Wan Jia stopped him right there. "On second thought, you can't buy it yourself. How about you ask someone unrelated to buy it? Someone like your employee."

Lu Shaoting's head ached just by listening to her. "What's with the change of plan?"

Wan Jia glared at him like he was an idiot. "Didn't you see how Aotian looked at us before he left? He may have suspected something. We can't do anything suspiscious."

"Why don't you become a private detective then? You are 0.01% qualified."

"Get lost. We are dealing with a very serious matter. Get a laptop, program new spy cameras and on Wednesday, we execute the plan."

"Can you not keep me in the dark anymore? You only mentioned going to the Yun mansion. What exactly do you want to do? You want to plant a spy camera and capture them commiting crimes? That would be very stupid of you; do you think we have never tried? They are too wary."

"Who said anything about planting a spy camera?"

"Then what's with the cameras?"

"They're for monitoring the sorroundings."

Lu Shaoting rubbed his tortured temples. "I don't understand what exactly you want to do but fine. What's the deal with Yun Xuan, then?"

"We need her. To be exact, we need her absence."

"No no no! You are not going to...!"

Wan Jia laughed. "Yes I am. Can you not freak out?"

"Sister-in-law, I understand you have been possessed by a troublemaking demon lately but you!cannot!enter!the!Yun!mansion! Are you tired of living?"

"What's the big deal? Neither General Yun nor Madam Yun is home. If the brothers are there, they can be distracted for a while. I'll be there for less than a minute."

"Why are you doing this?" Lu Shaoting was at a loss.

"I want to get a DNA sample of them."

"Can't you bribe a maid to steal a toothbrush or a hairbrush? Must you go yourself?"

"Do you think if it were easy to bribe a maid, I would have gone through all this trouble? Only Yun Xuan can enter some parts of the house like her parents' bedroom. Not anyone can just waltz in there."

"Then how do you plan to go in?"

"I will be 'Yun Xuan' on wednesday."

"You're crazy." he scolded.

She knew it was crazy. But apart from DNA, how would she get the answer she was looking for? Her head would just burst from all the questions.
