Hearing Rose’s words, Lu Tianxing grimaced, not understanding why her torn clothes were his problem. It was clearly she who had torn them. If he had intervened, the clothes would have been in shreds by now. This was a direct questioning of his character.
"Rose, what are you saying? You really underestimate my integrity, Lu Tianxing. Am I the type to take advantage of people in their vulnerable moments? It’s clear that you tore the clothes yourself, and I remained respectful."
"Respectful? Little man, were you really respectful?"
With a seductive manner, Rose rolled her eyes at Lu Tianxing and flashed a devastatingly beautiful smile. "Little man, you’ve really disappointed me. You just passed up such a great opportunity. Don’t you like the idea of us together?"
"Even if something had happened, and your ice queen of a wife got mad, you could have said you did it to save us, that you had no choice. I believe your ice queen wife wouldn’t have said anything. You didn’t seize this heaven-sent opportunity? Little man, you’ve disappointed me so much, or maybe you just can’t do it anymore!"
"I am a normal man," Lu Tianxing said through gritted teeth.
"Really? I don’t believe you."
Rose struggled to stand up from the bed and walked steadily toward Lu Tianxing, leaning on him and kissing his face. "Little man, how about letting me try and see?"
Lu Tianxing stiffened. This temptress was always so provocative.
"Little man, what do you say? Do you dare, or is it really like I said, you can’t do it?"
"Rose, this isn’t the right time," Lu Tianxing said with a bitter smile, although he really wanted to show this seductress what he was capable of; clearly, now was not the time.
Seeing Lu Tianxing’s gaze, Rose laughed heartily. "Okay, I’ll stop teasing you. Do you think I don’t know when to stop?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Rose’s expression turned cold: "Right, little man, where is that beast Zhao Lin? Is he still alive?"
"Of course, he is alive."
"Still alive, why didn’t you kill him?" Rose said, displeased to hear this.
"Why kill him? I plan to spare him so you can vent your anger. After all, as one of the ten great Hall Masters of Yama Palace, being abducted by trash, if we don’t let out this rage, I’m afraid she might do something foolish," Lu Tianxing said with a smile.
"Where is he now?" Rose asked, her eyes gleaming coldly upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words.
"I’ve left him under Mike’s watch; what do you plan to do?"
"I want to break his bones bit by bit," Rose said, her face flashing with a fierce intent to kill, unable to quell her anger unless Zhao Lin was dead.
"Up to you, but are you sure you want to go now?"
Lu Tianxing’s eyes lingered on Rose, not surprised by her approach. As the leader of the Rose Society and a woman, if she weren’t fierce, she would have long been devoured to the bone.
In this world, if you want to survive longer, you either live as an ordinary person or become a ruthless one.
"Do you think it’s suitable for me to go now?"
Rose coyly glanced at Lu Tianxing and opened her arms towards him.
Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned, "What are you doing?"
Lu Tianxing smiled, said nothing, and simply bent over to pick Rose up into his arms, then turned and walked downstairs.
Soon, two cars drove out of the villa one after the other.
Shortly after Lu Tianxing left the villa, several vans appeared around the villa and stopped directly at the main entrance of the Zhao Lin villa. More than a dozen burly men exited, and like cleaners, cleared all the flesh and bodies in the villa, stuffing everything into bags as if collecting garbage.
Half an hour later, the vans left the villa without alerting anyone.
Inside a private villa at Deep Water Bay.
Zhao Quan sat there with a cold expression, his fingers tightly clutching his phone, veins bulging on his forehead, exuding an extremely chilling murderous aura.
Under the illumination of the light, one could clearly see the chilling ferocity on Zhao Quan’s face, reminiscent of a venomous snake, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Sensing the change in Zhao Lin, Zhuge Ling, who had been by his side, couldn’t help but speak up, "Quan, what’s wrong? Did they find Zhao Lin? Did something happen?"
"They haven’t found Lin’er. The people I just sent called and said that Lin’er returned to the Causeway Bay villa with those two people, but when they arrived, they couldn’t find anyone in the villa, not even a guard. Even the villa’s main entrance was shattered. There were signs of a fight inside the villa, and a smell of blood. They suspect Lin’er might have..."
Zhao Quan stopped there, but the implication was clear—Zhao Lin was very likely dead.
"Quan, don’t panic yet. It’s possible that nothing happened to Zhao Lin. After all, no one has called to say they’ve found Zhao Lin’s body. Maybe Zhao Lin just ran into some trouble and had to leave the villa. So, don’t worry too much; you might make yourself sick," Zhuge Ling said softly, her face slightly changing as she comforted him.
"Ling’er, what do you think we should do next?" Zhao Quan took a deep breath and asked.
"Search, send people immediately to find out where Zhao Lin is, dead or alive. Also, keep an eye on the Huang Family. Whether or not Zhao Lin is in trouble, whether it was the Huang Family’s doing, we must watch their reactions closely," she said.
A faint glimmer flashed in Zhuge Ling’s eyes. She had not only climbed her way to Zhao Quan’s side because of her beauty but also because of her intelligence. She was the one who gradually transformed Zhao Quan from a puppet controlled by others into the ruler of the Zhao Family.
Whether Zhao Lin was dead or not, she believed that the Huang Family couldn’t be disassociated from this incident. By keeping an eye on the Huang Family, they would know everything.
"Alright, we’ll do as you said. If anything happens to Lin’er, I don’t care who or what the Huang Family is—I will make them pay a terrible price."
Zhao Quan’s voice was chilling enough to instill fear. He had only one son, Zhao Lin. If anything happened to him, no matter if it was a distinguished guest or the Huang Family itself, he would ensure that the Huang Family suffered severe consequences.
