The tense atmosphere was interrupted when the leader of the men in black suits received communication from his earpiece. Then he announced to his colleagues that the master and the mistress would be arriving in about ten to fifteen minutes. It would normally take them longer to arrive because Dragon Palace Home #10 was quite far from the condo building, but it seemed that they were hurrying up, perhaps even going over the road’s speed limits.
Long Hui, Jiang Ying Yue and Wei Lan also heard the announcement.
A flash of panic appeared in Long Hui’s eyes. He redoubled his efforts to escape from the men restraining him. However, his efforts were useless.
Wei Lan looked relieved, saying, "Very goooood! Let’s wait for my daughter and son-in-law to arrive. In the meantime, don’t let that bully go. My daughter and Liwei will decide what to do with that villain."
"I’m going to leave now! Let me go!" Long Hui continued to struggle against the men holding him. "Ying Yue, tell them to let me go!"
Wei Lan pointed her curling iron at him again like a sword.
"Oh no no noooo! You’re not going to order Ying Yue around! You’re no longer in a relationship. You can’t influence her anymoooore!" Then she turned to Jiang Ying Yue. "Don’t listen to him, girl! Don’t be stupid anymore, okaaaay?"
Jiang Ying Yue didn’t respond to her. Instead, she looked at Long Hui with a sad and resigned expression. She wiped her tears and looked at the leader of Jin Liwei’s men.
"Let him go," she told him.
Wei Lan gasped . Jin Liwei’s subordinates were also taken aback but didn’t move, continuing to restrain Long Hui. As for Long Hui, he was also surprised. He stopped struggling to stare at her, examining her expression and trying to find out if she had any ulterior motives for requesting the men to let him go.
"Stupid girl! What are you doing?!" Wei Lan asked in complete disbelief.
"I can’t believe this! I can’t believe you just let that asshole go! You stupid, stuuuuupiiiiid, STUPID girl!!! Did you see his expression before he ran out like the coward that he is? It’s so obvious that he’s afraid of directly confronting my daughter and my son-in-law! Why didn’t you wait for my daughter and dear Liwei to arrive? Mark my words, you stuuuuupiiiiid girl. That piece of shit will return and try to hurt you again! Even harder next time! The Longs are extremely prideful people. You wounded his pride tonight. He won’t forgive you for that. Gah! I’m so maaaaaaad!!!"
Wei Lan threw her curling iron at the floor in her anger. It didn’t break because it was extremely durable. Of course, it was also extremely expensive. It was even infused with diamond dust to increase its toughness. She had also already forgotten about her determination to not curse in coarse language. She was so mad. Endless curse words spilled out of her mouth.
Later, in the penthouse’s library office...
Iris and Jin Liwei sat together on one couch. Their matching cold expressions and intimidating aura made the surrounding subordinates break out in cold sweat.
Of course, this included Jiang Ying Yue who was sitting by herself on the opposite couch. She was feeling numb from everything that happened but still couldn’t stop herself from feeling intimidated and also guilty in front of the couple.
Standing alone by the tall windows like a dark emperor was Lu Zihao. He gazed at the night lights of the city outside, as if looking at his empire. His posture indicated that he was relaxed and easy-going as usual, but for some reason, Jin Liwei’s subordinates detected a great sense of danger emanating from him. It was even more intense than what they felt from their master and mistress combined.
