It was said that a ferocious tiger would exert all its energy whenever it was hunting. No matter if it was merely a rabbit or a deer, it would not waver. So Lu Qingfeng stood by patiently outside as he waited for Yun Xiang and the police to apprehend Chen Hao and his people.
'Patience.' He reminded himself. One thing for sure, he would prolong Chen Hao's suffering until he wished he was dead rather than being left half-dead and incapable of doing anything himself.
Han Zijun was almost done with the antidote, but the more they waited for their daughters to be born, the more stressful it was for Lu Qingfeng. He'd been on edge ever since Su Xiaofei fell pregnant, knowing that she was poisoned at the same time.
The potency of the antidote was over eighty percent and although it was still too low for them to feel relieved, Lu Qingfeng would rather take this chance than none at all. He would have preferred it if they could increase their chances of saving both his wife and prevent any side-effects on their daughters.
"It's almost time, Master." Nine glanced at Lu Qingfeng through the dashboard mirror. He couldn't fathom what his master was thinking, but one thing for sure was that Lu Qingfeng was here to spill some blood.
After what Chen Hao had done to their mistress, the rest of the elite guards of the Lu family were also itching to beat the hell out of Chen Hao and Ye Mingyu, however, they couldn't make a move until their master gave the word.
The Zhang siblings were the most affected amongst them. The guilt of failing to protect Su Xiaofei had been eating them. They wanted to join them, but their responsibility to protect their mistress was more important than anything else.
"Send reinforcements. We have to make sure Chen Hao won't be able to escape this time." Lu Qingfeng said. It was a mistake not to go after Chen Hao the moment they received his threat and Ye Mingyu's demands.
It didn't take long before screams and gunshots could be heard from the club that was owned by Chen Hao. The patrons and customers fled from the scene in panic, not knowing what was going on. Lu Qingfeng remained inside the car, waiting for Yun Xiang's call. Since they were collaborating with the authorities, they gained a special permit to check the premises to find the whereabouts of the antidote.
He touched the small vial of poison in the inner pocket of his coat. Regardless of how this night will end, he would make sure that this would be the day Chen Hao's nightmare would start.
It took half an hour before the commotion finally ended, and the silence that filled the usually loud club was deafening. When Lu Qingfeng stepped inside, shattered glass and spilled drink were everywhere on the floor. Tables and chairs had been thrown everywhere. The place was dimly lit by the remaining functioning overhead lights that didn't break. However, it still reeked with the scent of alcohol, smoke and drugs.
Lu Qingfeng curled his nose in disgust. He made a mental note to take a long shower after this. before seeing his wife. Like any other pregnant woman, Su Xiaofei's sense of smell had heightened immensely, to the point that people around her had been careful not to wear strong perfumes or smoke.
"This way, Master Lu." One of Yun Xiang's subordinates led him and Nine to where they were keeping Chen Hao.
Lu Qingfeng and his personal bodyguard followed him without a word, but their eyes were busy checking the place. When they reached a dark hallway, leading to the room, Chen Hao's laugh reached their ears as he mocked Yun Xiang.
"I didn't know you've become Su Xiaofei's lap dog now. What did she promise for you to agree to do the dirty job for her? Did she promise to take you as her side lover, given that she couldn't give up her little boytoy?" Chen Hao said, bursting into laughter.
"Shut your mouth, you bastard." Yun Xiang slapped Chen Hao on the face. A red mark left the side of his face as he continued to give Yun Xiang a mocking look.
"What? Don't like to hear the truth?" Chen Hao continued. "Su Xiaofei doesn't reciprocate your feelings, yet you are shamelessly still trying to gain her attention."
"Says the man who still fantasizes about having her." Lu Qingfeng said, announcing his arrival to the other two men.
Lu Qingfeng strode towards them, then looked down at Chen Hao who was bound on a chair, hands tightly tied behind him. Yun Xiang moved closer to him to whisper, informing them that they have yet to find the antidote in Chen Hao's possession.
Chen Hao's eyes flashed with rage upon seeing Lu Qingfeng, but the younger man didn't seem perturbed despite being scrutinized by him. He sneered and spat the blood from his mouth and sneered at Lu Qingfeng.
"Who wouldn't want such a beautiful doll in their possession? Su Xiaofei used to be dumb and only cared for herself. The only thing she knew was how to make herself look pretty. It's really a pity that Ye Mingyu's plans didn't work at all." He said, eyes flashing with mischief.
"She's your cousin." Yun Xiang sneered, making Chen Hao burst into another round of laughter.
Yun Xiang's face fell, realizing what he just said. Was he no different from Chen Hao for pining after Su Xiaofei? He looked at Lu Qingfeng, trying to see if the young man thought the same.
"How ironic isn't it, Mr. Yun? I could say the same thing to you." He then turned his gaze to Lu Qingfeng. "So is your wife really pregnant or were you hiding the fact that she's dying? It's not too late, Lu Qingfeng. Hand her over and give into Ye Mingyu's demands and Su Xiaofei would live."
