Chapter 708: Chapter 704: Visit Tomorrow

Seeing the suddenly unpleasant expression on Zhuge Ling’s face, Zhao Quan asked in a hoarse voice, ”What happened, what exactly has happened?”

”The Huang Family has made their move against us; many of our forces have been swept away by the police, and some of our brothers were arrested.”

”What did you say?”

Hearing Zhuge Ling’s words, Zhao Quan’s face instantly twisted into a ferocious snarl, his eyes bloodshot as if he were a wild beast ready to choose someone to devour, and he roared, ”The Huang Family is going too far. Do they really think I, Zhao Quan, am afraid of them? Ling’er, hand me the phone. I’m going to give Huang Yuanzheng a call to see if he really wants to start a war with the Zhao Family.”

Without any hesitation, Zhuge Ling handed over the mobile phone to Zhao Quan.

Zhao Quan’s face darkened as he dialed Huang Yuanzheng’s number, ”Huang Yuanzheng, what do you mean by this? Why are you sweeping through the Zhao Family’s territory? Do you really think the Zhao Family is afraid of the Huang Family? I know my son was in the wrong this time, but now that my son is dead, what more do you want? Do you really want both of us to end up in a mutually destructive fight?”

Huang Yuanzheng on the other end of the phone paused briefly, then responded with a cold laugh, ”Zhao Quan, your son kidnapped the most honored guest of my Huang Family. Why shouldn’t we strike back at you? And don’t talk to me in that tone. Do you think you can threaten the Huang Family in your heart? To be honest, to me, your Zhao Family counts for nothing.”

”You...”

Feeling a surge of anger welling up inside him upon hearing Huang Yuanzheng’s words, Zhao Quan restrained his fury and said, ”Huang Yuanzheng, what will it take for you to back down?”

”Back down? Zhao Quan, I would like to back down, but unfortunately, some people don’t wish to, and if anyone is to blame, blame your son for offending someone your Zhao Family cannot afford to offend.”

”What do you mean by that?”

”What do I mean? You know the situation better than I do. Oh, by the way, someone asked me to pass on a message; she will visit in person tomorrow. She said you should clean your neck and wait, as she intends to make the entire line of Zhao Quan disappear completely.”

After finishing his words, Huang Yuanzheng didn’t wait for Zhao Quan to speak again; he hung up the phone directly.

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the line, Zhao Quan’s anger surged, and a fit of rage overwhelmed him. Suddenly he opened his mouth, and with a retching sound, a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out as he roared ferociously, ”Fine, very well then, I’ll be waiting. I want to see if they dare to come tomorrow. Whoever dares will have to die.”

...

The next morning, the brilliant sunshine filled the room and breathed life into the entire city.

Last night’s events at Zhao Lin’s villa in Causeway Bay had caused no ripples in Xiangjiang; all was calm, as if the sea remained undisturbed without a hint of a wave.

However, some well-informed forces could sense an impending storm, feeling a dark undercurrent looming over Xiangjiang, ready to sweep up at any moment and shred all forces. Especially the news that came out last night about the police’s large-scale crackdown on the Zhao Family’s influence, which made everyone feel as if a bloody storm was brewing.

But none of this mattered to Lu Tianxing anymore. At this moment, Lu Tianxing was fast asleep, hugging Bai Zhiqing tightly. After several intense battles with Angel the night before and being thoroughly drained by Rose, even a man of steel would feel a bit wiped out.

After an indefinite amount of time, Bai Zhiqing’s eyelashes trembled lightly twice before she opened her eyes to look up at Lu Tianxing, who was holding her. A faint smile appeared on her lips, and she was filled with a sense of security she had never felt before.

At that moment, Bai Zhiqing felt that she might truly be in love with Lu Tianxing. As long as he was by her side, she feared no danger. The events of the previous night seemed like a nightmare, but upon seeing the supportive Lu Tianxing so close, Bai Zhiqing felt her heart settle down instantly, and she wasn’t afraid of anything any longer.

Lu Tianxing also opened his eyes at this time and, smiling at Bai Zhiqing, said, ”You’re awake.”

”Mm.”

Bai Zhiqing nodded gently and rested her head on Lu Tianxing’s chest, like a docile little kitten, feeling his strong and steady heartbeat. The smile on her lips grew even sweeter.

She finally understood why a woman ultimately needs to find a man she can rely on, because that way, you can shed all your disguises and be capricious in front of him all the time, and he will tolerate everything about you, continuously protecting you, making sure you don’t suffer any harm.

”Lu Tianxing, can we go back to Modu tomorrow? I don’t want to stay in Xiangjiang anymore,” Bai Zhiqing suddenly lifted her head and said to Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing was slightly startled by Bai Zhiqing’s words. He had planned to stay in Xiangjiang for a few more days, at least until he could help Rose seize control of the Zhao Family’s influence before leaving Xiangjiang. But now Bai Zhiqing was saying she wanted to go back to Modu, which caught him off guard.

However, he also thought that it made sense. Bai Zhiqing was just an ordinary woman. Though she had been through a lot, making her mentally stronger than the average person, she was still a woman. Having just arrived in Xiangjiang a few days ago, she encountered so much trouble, was kidnapped twice, and even nearly lost her ~virginity~. Such events were enormously traumatic for a woman’s psyche, and it was already impressive that she hadn’t fallen apart.

Looking at Bai Zhiqing’s complexion, Lu Tianxing nodded gently, ”No problem, we will go back to Modu tomorrow.”

”Really?”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s response, delight appeared on Bai Zhiqing’s face. She squirmed a little in his arms and said, ”Thank you, husband.”

”Silly, you already call me husband, what’s there to thank me for?”

Lu Tianxing gently pinched Bai Zhiqing’s nose and was about to get out of bed, but his gaze involuntarily caught sight of a glimpse of snow-white skin.

After returning to the hotel last night, for convenience, he had helped Bai Zhiqing take off all her formal attire. For convenience, she hadn’t even put on pajamas, just a simple robe. After a whole night, the robe had become somewhat disheveled, and with Bai Zhiqing’s previous movements, it simply couldn’t cover the wonderful view.

Lu Tianxing’s gaze was fixated, and his breathing became slightly more rapid.

”Lu Tianxing, what are you looking at?”

Feeling the intensity of Lu Tianxing’s gaze, Bai Zhiqing was startled and instinctively looked down, letting out a sharp scream. She quickly snatched the blanket to cover herself, her cheeks flushing crimson.

Women are like this, inexplicable to understand. At night in bed~ they surrender themselves to you, even more aggressive than a man, but by day, they’re like holy daughters, the slightest intimacy making them shy.
