Was Lu Qingfeng satisfied now? No. It wouldn't be enough to quell the rage in his chest. Perhaps he might have already lost his sanity by now, after undergoing rebirths and living three lifetimes, but the Lu Qingfeng from his original life was far too different from what he was now.
Just the thought of Su Xiaofei dying before him was enough to drive him crazy. He might not be able to stay sane if something happened to her again this time. He loved her throughout his lifetimes that it would be impossible for him to forget about her. Not now that she had become his wife and bearing the fruits of their love.
Lu Qingfeng didn't wait for his bodyguard to finish the job and decided to wait in the car. He wanted to return to his wife's side now, but he needed to make sure that Chen Hao wouldn't be able to pull off anything to harm her from now on. This way, the only possible threats towards his family were Ye Mingyu, and possibly Han Yize.
When Nine returned half an hour later, giving him an affirmative nod, Lu Qingfeng felt that the pressure on his shoulder was reduced, now that Chen Hao was already out of the picture.
"Rest assured that he would never be able to commit any atrocities. Not only did I make him crippled, but I made sure he would never be able to use his dominant hand properly. Even if he wanted to communicate with anyone, it would be hard for Chen Hao, since Lt. Yun assured that the evidence provided would be enough for Chen Hao to receive capital punishment from the state." Nine told him.
Lu Qingfeng hummed and said nothing further on the matter, settling for a simple "Let's return home then."
Without another word on the matter, they returned home in silence. Lu Qingfeng didn't waste time and went to the master bedroom as soon as arrived, only to find Shi Mingli, injecting his wife's usual medicine into her arm.
"How is she?" Lu Qingfeng asked, seeing how unusually pale his wife was.
"She broke into another fever this afternoon, but we managed to break it." Shi Mingli responded. "Doctor Han believes that the level of poison in her blood stream has considerably lessened since we started her treatment."
"How long will it take for Brother Han to finish the antidote? Are we still on track?"
"Han Zijun believes that he will be able to finish it in two weeks. He's trying to find a way to increase its potency." Lu Junjie's mother fell silent for a moment. "We both fear that the poison would retaliate harshly on Su Xiaofei's body, if the antidote failed to cure her."
"Do you have a plan B then?" Lu Qingfeng asked. There was no way he would allow his wife to subject herself to that kind of threat.
"We're still trying to formulate one. We'll discuss this with you and Su Xiaofei once we are confident with the plan."
Shi Mingli excused herself then, leaving Su Xiaofei with Lu Qingfeng. As if sensing his arrival, Su Xiaofei cracked her eye open, finding him settled next to her.
"You're home. How did it go?" She asked. Su Xiaofei was aware of his and Yun Xiang's plan today, and she insisted on him not to personally participate in the raid, in fear that it would harm him.
"Chen Hao will be bedridden for life and Yun Xiang is certain that he wouldn't be able to avoid the verdict of the court this time. You don't need to worry about him anymore." Lu Qingfeng murmured gently, but his eyes were so cold, that it almost reminded Su Xiaofei of the tyrant Lu Qingfeng she had seen as a ghost.
"Then that's good. It's a pity I didn't see it myself."
Lu Qingfeng's eyes softened as he brushed a few strands of stray hair away from her face.
"I allowed Nine to exert his frustration on Chen Hao. We'll still be working on how to destroy Han Yize, so it might take some time for us to deal with Ye Mingyu for good."
"Don't worry about it, dear." Su Xiaofei scooted closer to him, wanting to hold him, but with her bump in the way, it wasn't easy to hug him in this position.
"I know a good way to sow discord between them." She smiled mischievously. "Zhang Lan and her team have been following Ye Mingyu for sometime now, so she's able to collect dirt that Ye Mingyu wasn't expecting could be used against her."
Lu Qingfeng stared at his wife, for a moment, thinking that he might be worrying for nothing when she already had things on hand to use against her sworn enemy.
"Just be careful, Feifei. Whatever it is, make sure that it won't be traced back to you."
Su Xiaofei's lips curled into an evil smile. It had been a mistake for her to lower her guard before, but she would make sure to return the favor to Ye Mingyu.
"They won't. Guess who gave me the evidence that could ruin her reputation completely."
He raised a slender brow at his pregnant wife. How could she find this matter amusing? Lu Qingfeng wondered.
"Who is it?" He asked, knowing that she was merely waiting for him to ask before divulging the information to him.
"Who else but Yan Xiuchen." She chuckled. "I couldn't believe the extent he's willing to do just for Xiao Rufeng."
Lu Qingfeng wasn't expecting that Yan Xiuchen would willingly cooperate with his wife, but he understood why his eldest brother would do such a thing.
"You should know by now the kind of person Chen-ge is. I suppose Miss Xiao has really left an impact in Chen-ge's life that he's willing to get rid of anyone who'll obstruct her way in the showbiz industry."
"Then I must tread carefully around him. I wouldn't want to be on his bad side if he could be as scheming as this." Su Xiaofei said with a teasing tone.
