The elderly man who had been waiting all night finally showed a hint of relaxation. He set down his tea and asked, "Where?"
"In a village on the western outskirts of the city, I’ve already got the address. We can go find her immediately."
The moment the name came through the phone, the old man froze, "The western outskirts of the city?"
The butler nodded on the other end, "Yes, that’s the name he mentioned, Master. Do you... do you know this place?"
The western outskirts of the city?
How could he know that place? However, it was dangerously close to Dongdamen’s antique street, which only intensified his worry and fear.
Yes, she had always been closely tied to antiques, and Phoenix Blue Ink was located there as well.
In an instant, a ferocious aura burst from his eyes, and the next second, he roared into the phone, "Spare no expense, just get rid of her for me!"
"Yes, Master. So, do you want her brought there?" the butler asked subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, at this question, the old master, his face ghastly pale, froze in his tracks!
He had ordered them to finish her off! Not to bring her there?
What he wanted was her corpse!
In a mix of shock and anger, the old man immediately yelled into the phone, "I didn’t tell you to bring her back; I said to finish her off, do you understand? Finish her off!"
The butler was stunned!
The master was actually demanding her death!
The butler could hardly believe his ears, "Master, are you sure you’re not mistaken? You want her dead? She is the young master’s woman, you know?"
"So what if she’s his woman? It’s precisely because she’s his woman that I want her dead!"
"But, Master, if she dies, the young master won’t be able to live either. Have you forgotten how he was in the hospital? If she were killed by you, he surely wouldn’t want to live on either."
The butler’s voice also rose in pitch, not for anything else but to deter him from this absurd decision.
Yes, what was he thinking? How could he harbor such a terrifying thought?
That woman, even if she had a pair of green eyes, was still a person, a living person. How could he order her killing? She was his son’s most beloved, and also the mother of his grandson!
The butler felt that the master was too unfamiliar tonight, too abnormal, completely altered.
Fortunately, after his reminder, the old man, who was about to lose his senses, slowly calmed down, and suddenly remembered what his woman had said when she came to see him earlier that evening.
Yes, not long ago, Bai Tingfang had come to see him. She had said to him, "Ou Qichang, do you remember the time your son was willing to die for that woman?"
She had also reminded him, "Ou Qichang, do you want to lose your last son? Do you want to end up a lonely widower?"
At that thought, his mind’s turbulent murderous intent gradually cooled, like a raging lion finally settling down.
No, he didn’t want to become a lonely widower, nor did he want to lose this son, let alone any member of the Ou Family, including Ou’s corporation.
