Chapter 1386 - 273: The Chill of a Deep Night, Spring’s Blooms Fade (First Update)
Yun Ya turned to leave, his cold gaze sweeping over with a hint of viciousness.
Lu Yuke absolutely believed this woman would do something unfavorable to Feng’er.
"Wait."
Yun Ya’s steps didn’t falter at all, pulling Yan Song along as he strode away.
As their figures were about to disappear at the secret room’s exit, Lu Yuke suddenly panicked. Ji Yunya was right. Although she had done all sorts of evil deeds throughout her life, she was truly without any reproach towards her youngest son. Ji Yunya had precisely grasped her weakness, forcing her to submit.
But then she thought again, Feng’er wouldn’t live much longer anyway. Suffering such pain alive, wouldn’t it be better just to...
No... how could she think this way? Feng’er’s life had already been so tragic; his final journey in life should be passed peacefully. Moreover, she didn’t want her image to collapse in Feng’er’s heart at all.
"I planted a bomb at your engagement party," Lu Yuke suddenly shouted.
Yan Song’s gaze darkened, turning around and walking over in big strides, grabbing her by the throat, his whole demeanor becoming terrifyingly sinister.
"What did you say?"
Lu Yuke struggled to breathe as she was strangled, her limbs flailing, her face turning bluish and purple from lack of air.
Yan Song’s fingers gradually tightened, his eyes cold and murderous, as if an infernal hell, the entire person like the Ten Lords of the Underworld...
If he hadn’t acted in advance, dragging it until after the engagement party, the consequences would be unimaginable. By then, whether it was him and Yun Ya, or the many guests, they couldn’t escape a calamity. They were all prominent figures in the Capital City, how great a shock would it cause by then?
This venomous woman, Yan Song wished he could strangle her to death.
And in fact, Lu Yuke was already gradually unable to breathe, her struggling movements diminished significantly, her gaze gradually dispersing.
Yun Ya had some suspicions, but didn’t expect Lu Yuke to be so insidious. Fortunately, he discovered it early. She walked over and whispered, "Brother Yan, let go of her first."
Yun Ya’s gentle voice gradually restored his rationality. The bloodthirst in Yan Song’s eyes slowly faded away as he slowly released his grip, leaving Lu Yuke gasping for air like a fish out of water, accompanied by violent coughing.
Yun Ya said blandly, "How exactly is your plan carried out, where are these people now, how should we find them?"
Lu Yuke said hoarsely, "Before I speak, you must agree to one condition of mine."
"Do you think you are in the position to bargain with me?" Yun Ya scoffingly smiled.
Lu Yuke gave a gloomy laugh, "Alright, then let’s just drag it out like this. Those people will still follow through according to the original plan without my orders unless you call off the engagement party. But this way, everyone would think your relationship has changed. The invitations have already been widely sent out. I wonder how you will explain it."
Yun Ya gently hooked her lips, "Alright, let me hear what condition you have, and I will consider it."
Lu Yuke also knew this was the biggest concession she could make. Forcing the opponent too hard would lead to desperate counterattacks, and she would gain nothing good from it.
"Feng’er is innocent. I hope he knows nothing. You are the apprentice of Doctor Hua’s junior disciple. I hope you can persuade Doctor Hua to treat Feng’er...."
Yun Ya didn’t expect Lu Yuke’s condition to be this. Even at this time, she was thinking for Yan Nanfeng’s sake. This woman wasn’t entirely rotten. Yun Ya shook her head; human nature is indeed this complicated.
"I originally didn’t want to involve Fifth Uncle. The grudges of the previous generation shouldn’t be paid by him. Alright, I agree to this condition of yours. I will persuade my senior uncle to treat Fifth Uncle, but I have no confidence whether he can be cured...."
Lu Yuke smiled with relief, "In my room’s drawer, there’s a SIM card with a single contact. You send him a text. All our communications have been done using codes. The code to cancel the operation is ’583459123B’, which translates to cancel the operation. Once you send the text, the other party will understand."
Yan Song squinted his eyes, suddenly asking, "Who is the other party?"
Lu Yuke shook her head, "I don’t know either, just that it’s an Assassin Organization. We’ve always communicated via text, and I’ve never seen the other party’s true appearance."
"How did you come to know them?" Yan Song pressed further.
"One day, I picked up a flyer on the road, which mentioned beauty retreats and the like. I was momentarily tempted and made a call to inquire. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an Assassin Organization, and the other party offered services without charge. At first, I thought they were scammers and ignored it until one time...."
