Chapter 371 - A Secret Scheme Between the Brother and Sister of the Lus (1/2)

Zhou He met Lu Qi at a coffee shop they used to visit.

“I’ll wait for you in the car. You can go by yourself.” Bear parked the car and glanced at the back mirror.

Lu Qi was not too polite with Bear and got out after a cold sniff. Zhou He waved at her from the shop window.

Bear saw her go in and picked up the phone to call Jiang Rui.

“Mum!” Lu Qi was a little surprised, “Why do you look so gaunt?” It had only been two days, but Zhou He seemed to be ten years older.

Zhou He saw her daughter and couldn’t help crying, “Qiqi, you still don’t know that your father has a woman outside who has two children of theirs?”

“What?” Lu Qi’s face turned pale, “Who told you that? When did that happen?”

“Yesterday I ran into Mrs. Li who used to play mahjong with me. Her husband told her once he got drunk. The bigger one is a daughter who is thirteen years old. The younger one is a boy. He is eight.” Zhou He said angrily, “No wonder he wants to divorce me. He already found a backup.”

Lu Qi held Zhou He’s hand and said, “Mum, you definitely can’t divorce with my dad, or my brother and I will have no future.”

Lu Tao hurried over just in time. His face seemed handsome on usual days, but at the moment, it looked grim and evil. “Qiqi is right. We can’t be deserted.”

“So now the only hope is on you!” Zhou He stared firmly at Lu Qi, “You have to marry Jiang Rui. If you marry him, your father definitely won’t take those children back.”

Lu Tao was still frowning, “Stop dreaming. It is a military marriage. You will have to be on a military court if you break a military marriage.”

“Then what should we do?” Zhou He panicked, “What if it’s not our responsibility?”

Lu Tao ground his teeth, “Now we have no other choice.” Up to then, he had to depend only on himself. He couldn’t let those children come and steal the property from him.

“You don’t have to marry into the Jiang family. It will be okay if Jiang Rui stands out and speaks for you.” There was a sign of craziness in Lu Tao’s eyes, “As long as you can sleep with him and let everyone know of it, you can get all you want if you are Jiang Rui’s woman, even if he doesn’t marry you.”

“Then… what about Chen Chen?”

Lu Tao stared at her, “Why do you care about her? If you can keep Jiang Rui with you and bear a son for him, Chen Chen and her daughter won’t be able to defeat you.”

“Right! Right!” Zhou He said excitedly, “Qiqi, your brother is right. You are beautiful and know how to arouse a man’s care. No matter who Jiang Rui is, he is a man!”

Lu Qi felt so excited inside, as if she had slept with Jiang Rui already.

“Okay!” She touched her face and said, “The doctor said my face would be okay within a few days, then I will take action.”

Lu Tao patted her shoulder and said, “I’m responsible for the arrangements and whatever you need to lead Jiang Rui a hotel.”

After their scheme was settled, Lu Tao left first to avoid being noticed. He had something more important to do, which was to find the children and the woman his father had outside.

The moment Lu Qi and Zhou He went out of the coffee shop, a car was parked in front of them and several men in suits got out.

“Miss Lu, we are from the National Security Agency. Please come with us,” A man said to Lu Qi with a certificate in his hand. Lu Qi was scared and hid behind Zhou He, “You… what do you want? I’m protected by Jiang Rui.”

The man obviously looked more serious when he heard Jiang Rui’s name, and his tone was cold, “We will tell that to Officer Jiang. Hurry up and get in the car.”

“Where do you want to take my daughter to in plain daytime?” Zhou He asked. Those people saw them unwilling to go and were about to help them. Then Zhou He called out, “Police, help! It’s kidnap…!”

Bear slowly walked over, “Ah, it’s Director Zhao! What are you doing here?”

The one who had just talked to Lu Qi was the Director Zhao in Bear’s mouth. When he saw Bear, he seemed very embarrassed.

“You are in such a hurry…” Director Zhao smiled bitterly, “Officer Jiang asked you to take her back?”

Bear nodded casually, “Or else? Am I here to treat you to a cup of coffee?” He laughed, “If you want, you can have it at our place. I’m sure you will feel very cozy there.”

“We want to check what virus it is.” Director Zhao looked at Bear, “It can’t be an ordinary one that you can’t find out. We can investigate together. Maybe we can be more efficient working together.”

“You should first take out the rats in your department.” Bear glanced at him then said, “Miss, why don’t you come here? You want to go with them?”

Lu Qi walked to his side hurriedly and stood behind Bear. Zhou He waved at her and disappeared.

Bear took Lu Qi along to leave. Director Zhao shouted hard behind them, “How about after the New Year? Can you give her to us after the New Year?”

“Then it’s up to our master.” Bear didn’t even turn around.

After they got into the car, he said to Lu Qi when he was starting the car, “Miss Lu, did you see it? Just stay with us. If you leave my master’s protection, they will take you back instantly.”

“Why would they want to catch me?” Lu Qi didn’t understand when he messed with the National Security Agency.
