Chapter 59 - Attack


Lu Chen extended his hand out and wrapped her hand in his as he replied, "You can be whatever you want, but you'll be my wife." He spoke with seriousness in his deep voice that Xiu Mei almost fell into his spell.


Lu Chen pulled her hand towards him as he lowered his head. Lightly kissing the back of her hand, he continued. "I won't let you go."


Xiu Mei's courage instantly wavered with Lu Chen's actions and words. Wha--did he really just kiss h-her hand?


In reflex, she quickly pulled out her hand out of his grasp and clutched it towards her chest. She stared in disbelief at Lu Chen, her face filled with shock as she stuttered on her words remembering that soft pair of lips at the back of her hand.


"W-We'll see a-about that! Hmph!" Xiu Mei turned her head away to avoid his sly and playful gaze at her. She didn't even notice how red her cheeks and ears were at this very moment however, Lu Chen saw every bit of her reactions that he stifled a laugh.


Xiu Mei was then quick to glare at him before rolling her eyes and continued in ignoring him again.


Really ah, this wife is so cute.


Lu Chen held himself back from reaching out to pinch Xiu Mei's cheeks.


As the two played and flirted by themselves, they actually forgot the two other presence around them. They didn't notice how the little ball took out his phone and quickly snapped a photo of the two and saved it in his folder.


Lu Qiang smiled in triumph at himself as his other hand reached out for a slice of the sandwich. He looked down at his phone before hiding it back to his pocket.


It's really better to have a backup plan, ah. His Dad's techniques in chasing her mom don't seem as effective as he thought it would be.


When the sun was almost set, the three of them finally returned to their homes. After dropping Xiu Mei to her home, the father and son pair directly went straight to their home.


"Boss, we have news." Lu Shao stated upon Lu Chen's return at home. Instantly, Lu Chen's mood dropped and Lu Qiang feeling the change in his Dad's mood was very considerate and understanding that this was going to be an a.d.u.l.t's talk that he shouldn't interfere. He quietly went back to his room under the eyes of his butler.


Lu Chen and Lu Shao went straight to the study where Lu Shao presented a folder to him.


"According to our spy's report, the Sy's has been slowly bringing in various kinds of firearms and they have been also expanding their numbers quite faster than usual." Lu Shao reported as Lu Chen skimmed through the file.


"As we've expected, they're aiming for war in the underworld. It seems like they've been growing fearless day by day." Lu Chen didn't hide the anger in his tone as he thought about his enemies who are planning to put the underworld into chaos.


"We've already started preparing on the counterattack, however, we're still figuring out the whole plan that the Sy Clan is setting up against us, and to the other organizations."


Lu Chen did not respond and grew silent. He contemplated his next actions, which one would have the best results with fewer casualties. Afterall, he did not gather all his subordinates to be killed, but to live and fight for themselves.


It doesn't matter if they are called assassins or murderers, his subordinates do not kill those innocents and who did not deserve death.


"Did the Legion head has announced anything?"


"Not yet."


"Good. Call back Ming Xuan and Lee In from their posts, we'll need them back this time."


"Copy that."


"Tighten the security around Lu Qiang and Xiu Mei. Be careful not to get caught by her brother's guards. Xiu Mo Ruo's people are hot on our feet after we saved Xiu Mei the last time she had an accident. It wouldn't be good if he tried to delve in any further."


Lu Shao nodded as he listened to Lu Chen's instructions. He quickly left the room to start disseminating their boss' orders.


Lu Chen leaned back on his office chair as he held his forehead. He can feel a headache coming and he wasn't feeling good about this upcoming chaos.


Plus, he hasn't found anything about the people behind the presents targeted at Xiu Mei.


Everything seems to be going to be so chaotic in the near future and he was afraid whether Xiu Mei would be able to take it all in once she really starts mixing in on his world.


Even though it will be dangerous for her, he selfishly wants to cling onto her and not let go. Was it because he's still yet to love her that's why the thoughts of letting her go to keep her safe haven't hit his mind?


Or is it because of his selfishness to make her his son's mother and his wife?


His eyes darkened as he remembered the email he received from an unknown email days ago. After reading the contents, he instantly realized from whom the email came from.


It was a warning letter from Xiu Min, Xiu Mei's eldest brother. It seems that the military also has eyes on the underworld, and he knew very well all his actions in the underworld.


It seems that the military family has been observing him for quite a while. Did they investigate him ever since Xiu Mei worked under him? Or was it….?
