His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 - Moulding The Ultimate Protector

Lu Zihao watched as Jin Liwei froze into a horrified statue. A wave of dizziness overcame him as his body protested against hurting its Third Brother like this.

’Stop it. Lu Zihao is gone. You’re my body now,’ he mentally hissed.

The original Lu Zihao was already dead and gone, but the body still retained strong remnants of its original owner like muscle memory. After all, they had been together since conception in the womb up until the original Lu Zihao died and was replaced by the soul of Nikolai Vetrov. Suddenly finding itself housing a strange soul, of course there would be some form of rejection in the body one way or another.

To reduce rejection and increase compatibility, he did his best to match the original Lu Zihao’s personality and habits. It proved to be an effective method, except at times like this when he reverted back to Nikolai’s strong and intense personality.

The brotherhood between Jin Liwei and the original Lu Zihao was so deep that the body instinctively fought against him. He gritted his teeth and fought off the dizziness, feeling a little nauseous doing so.

"How do you know all of these?" the pale Jin Liwei asked in a whisper.

"I have my ways, Third Brother," he spoke in a cold tone.

Lu Zihao knew because once he recognized Iris as his beloved little sister Evelinka, he gathered all available information about Iris Long but it wasn’t enough. Navigating through the familiar underworld channels, he hired a black hat hacker to dig more information about Iris Long and all the people around her. The hacker was above Hou Liang’s level but nowhere near Iris’ superior level.

When the hacker sent him the information, Lu Zihao was surprised to discover Jin Liwei’s involvement in the original Iris Long’s accident. The hacker even asked for extra payment for this information because it was harder to dig out.

"I almost missed it. Someone did a great job of erasing all the evidence. It’s just that my skills are at a higher level so I was able to spot the small remaining trace. Only those at my level or higher will be able to pick up the trail," the hacker told him.

When Lu Zihao found out about Jin Liwei’s involvement in the accident, he found it laughable that the man was now in love with Iris. That was until he realized that the current Iris was actually his sister. Then he began to treat it as serious business.

In all honestly, Lu Zihao didn’t give a f*ck about the accident. After all, the original Iris was a stranger to him. He didn’t give a f*ck that the girl died. In fact, he felt glad that she died in order for his precious little sister Evelinka to have a second chance in life like him.

"Are you going to tell Xiulan?" Jin Liwei asked.

"Are YOU going to tell her?" Lu Zihao threw the question right back at him.

"I...yes. I plan to. I love her so much." Sighing heavily, Jin Liwei rubbed his hands over his face. His expression looked extremely pained. "You’re right. I’m a coward. I’m so afraid that she’ll leave me once I tell her the truth."

But when he finally met her as Iris, he could sense that she was already happy with her new life. In their past lives, their family couldn’t afford to give her the freedom that she desired. It was too dangerous. It was different now, though. For the sake of her happiness, he decided not to involve her in his dark and bloody path of revenge.

Of course without her, revenge would be harder to achieve especially since he currently had no power of his own. It would take time for him to gain power but he would do it, no matter how long it took. He swore that he would get revenge in this lifetime.

And if his sister were to learn of his goal, she might even volunteer to help him. If that happened, he wouldn’t reject her help but that would endanger her.

That was why he needed to mould Jin Liwei to become Iris’ ultimate protector. When Lu Zihao became too preoccupied with revenge, Jin Liwei would be able to keep Iris safe from any danger.

Using the original Lu Zihao’s memories and knowledge about Jin Liwei’s character, he guilt-tripped his sister’s lover and steered him to the direction he wanted.

He cruelly mocked Jin Liwei and criticized the man’s cowardly behaviour to force him to grow a stronger backbone and unwavering loyalty to his sister. He must make it so that Jin Liwei’s number one priority would always be Iris and Iris only, not even his family or company.

It was only this way that he would feel at ease in pursuing revenge without worrying about his sister. Jin Liwei would keep Iris safe for the rest of her life, even if Lu Zihao were to die on his road of vengeance and leave this world forever.
