Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 560 - 558: Lu Jinyang’s hand paused on the keyboard, a layer of cold, thin light surfacing in his eyes.

After the press conference, the family returned to Jinxiu Garden.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao were still asleep, and after Xiao Qing placed them in their crib, she walked to the living room and found Lu Jinyang had already switched into work mode.

She fell silent for a moment, poured him a glass of water, and asked, "Has the stock market started to recover?"

Lu Jinyang shook his head, "It doesn’t react that quickly." His hands were flying rapidly over the keyboard, making Xiao Qing’s eyes dizzy from watching.

The phone next to the computer rang. Xiao Qing glanced at it and saw it was Peng Yi.

"Help me answer it," he said.

Xiao Qing pressed the answer button, thought for a moment, and then turned on the speakerphone.

Peng Yi’s anxious voice came from the other end, "Boss, Lin Kaixiong is gathering evidence to prove that Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t hurt the lady and is attempting to use this method to reduce the sentence."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing’s elegant eyebrows immediately knitted together.

If Lin Kaixiong really found evidence, then it’s very likely that Lin Xiaoxiao could get a reduced sentence, at most one or two years. She hadn’t been overly concerned about this matter, as after all, people can do foolish things, and what they do can be forgiven, especially when it hasn’t caused a grave error.

However, after seeing the interview specifically arranged by Lin Xiaoxiao yesterday, Xiao Qing no longer thought this way.

Lin Xiaoxiao’s obsession with Lu Jinyang had escalated to a sick level. If they do not take this opportunity to suppress her, once she gets out, it’s uncertain whether the children will suffer at her hands.

She carefully looked at Lu Jinyang, unsure of his thoughts.

Lu Jinyang was silent for a moment, and so was Peng Yi, quietly waiting for him to speak.

Just when Xiao Qing thought he would let Lin Kaixiong go ahead, Lu Jinyang spoke with a chilled tone, each word bone-piercing.

"Find a way to skip the trial phase, send her in tomorrow, then find a reliable death row inmate..."

Lu Jinyang’s words stopped there, and immediately, Peng Yi’s voice came through the phone: "Yes! I’ll arrange it right now!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jinyang’s hands stopped on the keyboard, his eyes revealing a cold, thin light that took a long, long time to fade.

He had been restraining himself for too long, to the point that those people had forgotten he was a man with limits.

This incident with Lin Xiaoxiao could serve as a reminder to them.

"Lu Jinyang~ what... how are you planning to deal with Lin Xiaoxiao?"

The woman’s voice was different from usual, now trembling a bit; Lu Jinyang felt that it was his fault for frightening her.

He closed the laptop and pulled her into his arms, gently rubbing her fair cheek, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t commit crimes."

"No, that’s not what I meant. What are you going to do with the death... death row inmate?"

She looked at him with her bright, big eyes, full of anticipation and yet a bit scared, twisting her hands uneasily together. He saw all her small movements and finally sighed helplessly.

"To make sure that even if she lives to get out, she won’t have the capacity to trouble us."

Lu Jinyang was well aware of the darkness in society. During his time in the special forces, there was a period when he had come to know all the darkest things in the world. Compared to that, his method of dealing with Lin Xiaoxiao was not extreme.

Feeling the unease of the woman in his arms, Lu Jinyang tightened the hug, kissing her forehead lightly, "I won’t break the law. Those death row inmates have already been sentenced to death. Some of them can’t let go of their families, I’m having Peng Yi give them some money, which is also helping him."

Xiao Qing seemed uncertain about what to think, and after a long while, she finally nodded her head.

"Do you regret being with me?" the man suddenly asked.
