"Do you think we are as stupid as you to do such a thing?" Lu Qingfeng's voice was so cold, that even though the air conditioner inside the room was broken, a cold shiver still ran through Yun Xiang's spine.
"I doubt that Ye Mingyu would hand over something as important as the antidote to an idiotic person like you."
"What did you say?!" Chen Hao yelled. He tried to resist and pull from his ties, wanting to smack away the arrogant look Lu Qingfeng had on his face. Even when they were younger, whenever Chen Hao saw Lu Qingfeng with Su Xiaofei, a seed of envy would sprout in his blackened heart.
He couldn't help but compare himself to this young man. Lu Qingfeng had everything he wanted in life. He was born with a silver spoon, which only meant that Lu Qingfeng had never tasted bitterness in life, and was blessed with outstanding looks as well as IQ. And despite Lu Qingfeng's introverted personality, he was still able to make himself popular among his peers.
Thus, Chen Hao could somewhat understand why Ye Mingyu hated Su Xiaofei - the same way he hated Lu Qingfeng's very existence. Those two were the reminder of the lives they would never have. While he and Ye Mingyu had to experience struggles and hardships throughout their childhood years, Lu Qingfeng and Su Xiaofei had everything handed to them on a silver platter without asking.
"So not only are you stupid, but you also have hearing impairment." Lu Qingfeng continued. "It didn't matter whether you have the antidote or not, because my wife would surely outlive you and Ye Mingyu. I only came here to execute the punishments."
Something about Lu Qingfeng changed and suddenly Chen Hao's instinct was telling him to run for his life. However, because he was tightly bound by Yun Xiang earlier, he wasn't able to resist that much when Lu Qingfeng moved towards him and pulled out a small vial with a black fluid in it.
Chen Hao's eyes widened. Fear gripped his heart while alarm bells rang through his mind as he watched Lu Qingfeng twist the cap of the vial to open. Something about Lu Qingfeng was different and Chen Hao couldn't point out what it was. He had seen Lu Qingfeng and Su Xiaofei grow up from childhood to their teenage years with his own eyes, but he never saw this young man make such an expression that promised imminent death.
"Lu Qingfeng! What are you trying to do?! If Su Xiaofei knows what you are doing, do you think she would still want to be with you?!" He exclaimed, feigning toughness in front of this tyrant.
"Lu Qingfeng, wait! This isn't part of our plan!" Yun Xiang was about to step forward, but Nine stopped him, gesturing for him to step back and let his master deal with Chen Hao.
Lu Qingfeng chuckled. "Why do you and Yun Xiang have this delusion that Su Xiaofei is oblivious to what I am? Su Xiaofei knew the kind of devil she is married to, but still chose to love a twisted person like me rather than be with some lowborn scum like you."
Chen Hao looked confused at what Lu Qingfeng had just said. He looked at Yun Xiang, whose gaze was now at his feet.
Suddenly, Lu Qingfeng grasped Chen Hao's chin and forcedfully poured the contents of the vial down his throat. Chen Hao struggled, wanting to spit the black fluid out, but Lu Qingfeng prevented it by holding him still. Pain shot through him as the poison went down his tract. As soon as Lu Qingfeng released his hold on him, Chen Hao attempted to clear his air passage.
"Don't worry. That poison isn't enough to kill you, but it's enough to damage your voice for good." Lu Qingfeng said coldly, before taking a second vial from his pocket. This time, the liquid inside was as clear as spring water.
Chen Hao hadn't recovered from the pain caused by the first poison when the second one was forced down his throat by Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng decided to eradicate those people who would pose a threat towards his growing family. He hadn't been lying to his wife when he told her that he didn't mind spilling the blood of his enemies if it would guarantee their family's safety.
Yun Xiang could only watch in horror, feeling conflicted at the same time. Did Lu Qingfeng poison Chen Hao because they believed that the law wouldn't be able to give him and Su Xiaofei the justice they deserve and had decided to take matters into their own hands?
While Yun Xiang understood the couple's predicament, a part of him disagreed with their ways of dealing with the problem. As much as he hated Chen Hao and Ye Mingyu for harming Su Xiaofei, Yun Xiang didn't think that what Lu Qingfeng just did was right.
"You will die in six months, although you will experience constant pain before the poison takes your life. Do you think Ye Mingyu and her new lover will be kind enough to give you the antidote you need?"
Lu Qingfeng's words rang in Chen Hao's mind and it was enough to send him into a panic. Dealing with Han Yize wouldn't be easy, but as Chen Hao looked at the devil in front of him, he thought that Lu Qingfeng's ways were more detrimental and vicious than Han Yize.
"Lu Qingfeng, you can't kill him." Yun Xiang reminded his cousin's wife. Even if Su Xiaofei knew about Lu Qingfeng's dark side, it didn't mean that he would allow Lu Qingfeng to commit more atrocities under his watch.
"I know, that's why I poisoned him. I won't give him an easy way out." Lu Qingfeng replied. He then walked to where Yun Xiang was and gave Nine a pointed look. "I'll leave the rest to you. Make sure to leave him in a vegetative state so that he wouldn't be able to function on his own. Just as Lt. Yun said, don't kill Chen Hao."
