Chapter 261 - BAD FEELING (1/2)

On the day of the Zhong Industries anniversary banquet, Hu Lei had a sense of foreboding. She felt a sick sensation in her stomach that she could not shrug off. Unlike her habit, she woke up earlier than even the busy Zhong Feng.

At breakfast, she could not bring herself to eat anything. She sipped on her orange juice with a distant look in her eyes. ​​

”How are you feeling?” Zhong Feng asked in concern.

Hu Lei tried to smile. ”I'm just a bit lethargic. Maybe I'm a little scared about appearing in public with you for the first time.”

Zhong Feng frowned. ”We don't have to do this if you are not ready.”

Hu Lei stretched her arm and placed her smaller hand over Zhong Feng's. ”I want to do this, Ah-Feng. I want to support you on this important day as your wife. Do not doubt that.”

It is just that she had a feeling that something will go wrong. They had not seen any movement from the people looking for her or the ȧssassins who had been targeting Zhong Feng for a while. It felt as if there was something big waiting to happen.

The worst thing was they were not being targeted by a specific person. They could not anticipate the appearance of a hidden medical organisation that behaved like a monster. There was no single head to cut down to get rid of the monster.

On the other hand, the ȧssassins had no personal grudge. Their interest was only money. So, at a huge party, they could have any identity.

Zhong Feng could guess the cause of her worries. He held her hand in his warm one.

”Do not think too much about it. The anniversary party will be held in Demesne Hotel which is under my control. I have gotten my best security people to cover the event. And everyone who will be in attendance has been vetted.” He tried to comfort her.

Hu Lei nodded even though she did not think that these precautions were enough. She was sure that she would have been able to get into the event if she had a target in that place. It was never too hard to infiltrate a party.

”I guess I am just a little out of it. It's just a bad feeling. It will pass.” She sighed.

Zhong Feng stood up and pulled her from her chair and hugged her. She felt a little choked up, and some moisture formed in her eyes. She just felt like crying. She put her arms around him and hugged him tighter.

When he let her go, he held the cute face in his arms. He wiped the few drops of tears with his thumbs.

”There is something I was waiting to tell you after the party, but I suppose I can tell you right now.” He said with an exasperated sigh.

Hu Lei's ears perked up.

”During this period, I have not only been dealing with Zhong Industries. I was also following your lead with Huo Kang, and I found out the current open identity of that organisation. We can deal with them once and for all.”

Hu Lei's mouth fell open. ”Why didn't you tell me earlier?”

”I also just found out. I have reached out through some of my connections in major governments. With the favours I have called in, investigations are already being carried out. It will take a while, but we will be completely free of them.” He kissed her lightly on the tip of the nose.

”Which organisation is it?” Hu Lei could not help asking.

”International Health Alliance.”
