274 Settling Fiancés (1/2)
The woman was pure evil and Li Yuan had lost her sanity to her schemes. Now because of her his little Lu Xinyi life is being jeopardized! Who had nothing to do with it all!
It was his pride in his line and Lu Xinyi's life...Yu Youhan huffed and squared his shoulder. The choice was already made but Li Yuan would pay for it, all of it!
He wouldn't put it past Li Yuan to really act on his threat and clear Lu Xinyi's card from the table. The thought alone gave birth to undecipherable hatred, fear, and rage in him.
Seeing Lu Xinyi with cold, lifeless instead of her curious, mischievous eyes could be the most haunting of the things he could imagine.
Or maybe both of those monsters wouldn't let her die but make her lose the glimmer in her enthralling eyes. No! She was precious and all her essence was precious!
He could avenge her later but the harm done to her couldn't be undone. And he couldn't keep her safe enough unless she was locked in his bedroom or was in close vicinity to him all the time which there was no way for him to do unless that included her thrashing and yelling at him or...unconscious.
He slapped his hand on his desk, ”You f*cker!” He bellowed in the most menacing of his tone, ”You or your dogs will not go a hundred meters of her radius.”
Li Yuan chuckled as if his temper was amusing and sneered, ”Good for me, I have trained my 'dogs' to take a shot from about 4 thousand meters away from small, good-for-nothing canaries.”
Yu Youhan gritted his teeth as the reality of his words echoed through the walls of his pristine office. To kill Lu Xinyi and putting it under the rug was as easy as it was efficient and resourceful as killing a mosquito and covering your track for his forces.
Being the Underworld Lord for almost a decade now had given an already cunning and vicious man like Li Yuan many tricks and contacts to not even have to blurt a name for the corpse to be on the next day's news with no mention of the offender ever.
Clenching his jaw and fisting his palm for a while had him come to a statement, ”You don't want to make an enemy out of me!” It was a threat that if harm was to come to Lu Xinyi their alliance was off. All relations and bonds could be flushed down the sink for all they were worth.
First off their families will hold prejudice in the already weak bond between them because of the illegitimate children in both households.
They could both pull all their string and in the end, whoever would win wouldn't even matter as they would have caused enough damage to cause them generations' worth of wealth and resources not to mention the collision of power crises.
Li Yuan hazardously chuckled from the other end, ”So do you.”
It was a mutual understanding. Though they never really had a hand in hand relation, despite staggering equilibrium it was obvious both men knew not to make an enemy out of the other.
It was best if they weren't standing against each other despite all their hostilities.
After a while of mutual silence, Yu Youhan broke the ice in a booming voice, ”That 'woman' of yours has something of mine…”
Li Yuan chuckled from the other side. If only she did…
He had all the plans to give it back to his cousin but not like this. Not now. Yu Youhan must be the last person to release the grudge he had on her.
Right now Yu Youhan despising her was the main ingredient in his recipe for the portion of love he was making for his little fierce Raven.
But with that, he had to make sure that Yu Youhan wouldn't recklessly cause damage to her but…this call would sure do it.
It would secure Lei Xinyi's security, it will buy him enough time to let Lei Xinyi get used to him in her life. This much that he will be a habit, a pilar in the pyramid of her life, to the point there was no way for her to leave him.
Along with all of it he was planning to get that contracted fiancé of him off his back. And what better way could be than to deliver her to her lovers' door?!
