"Afterwards, she is no longer an obstacle between you and me."
Long Fengxi gave him a sideways glance, "That must have been tough."
Shen Congmo laughed, "As long as you understand."
"However, now that my brother and sister-in-law know about this, I was so angry that I told them."
"Did you expose our reconciliation?"
"Then when we go back, you take the DNA test report and explain it to them clearly. I don’t want to be despised by your brother and sister-in-law."
"Should I go explain it? After all, taking this DNA test report... You should go yourself." For origınal chapters go to novel⸺fire.net
Shen Congmo chuckled, "Can you make any sense? You were the one who told your brother and sister-in-law, and now you want me to explain..."
"But it’s all because of you, you go, you go, you go..."
He really couldn’t handle her and agreed, "Fine, I’ll go."
"I’ve only just found out about my cousin’s dealings." Antonio looked at Gu Lili in the video, unsure of what to say, "I really couldn’t tell; he’s usually so quiet but acts so viciously. Are you alright?"
"I’m fine, my husband got shot." Gu Lili asked, "You are the heir of the Anton Family, you need to be careful. If he targets you, you’ll have a lot of trouble."
Antonio seemed to be hearing some wild tale, "How could it be? Although he is superficially part of our family, he’s not of our bloodline. If he tries anything on me, my parents will be the first to chop him up and feed him to the dogs. Does he have the guts? I think he’s after your husband’s position, be careful. I heard that things are quite turbulent in S country currently, with numerous assassination attempts. Oh, and I heard that the number-one top assassin in T country has gone to your S country, I don’t know how much money he is getting to carry out the task, don’t know which unlucky soul will suffer."
"Top notch assassin?" Gu Lili asked, "What’s the name?"
"They don’t have real names, these assassins all go by codenames, this one is called X4, and it’s said that he rarely misses, really skilled."
Gu Lili couldn’t help but think of the times Gu Xichen was targeted, "Antonio, I need to hang up, I’ve got to call a friend."
"Don’t you wonder... how the Anton Family will handle Andong Feng Ling?"
Gu Lili raised an eyebrow, "Curious or not so curious, but you wouldn’t tell me, would you?"
"I won’t, I don’t know what my grandfather will do."
"Then why ask, if you can’t answer, I’m hanging up."
She didn’t hesitate and cut off the video call. Antonio placed his phone aside, muttering, "Such a ruthless woman, didn’t even let me talk a bit longer."
"Young master, the cousin has been called over by Old Sir Antonio."
Antonio stood up, "Let’s go and see."
"Maybe you shouldn’t go..."
"Why not?" Antonio huffed, "He almost killed my Lili, I haven’t settled the score with him yet, let’s go."
The bodyguard quickly followed him towards Old Sir Antonio’s courtyard.
Reaching the living room entrance, Antonio heard his grandfather rebuking Andong Feng Ling.
Initially, he felt somewhat gleeful, but as he listened, something felt off.
Because what he heard wasn’t an admonishment for Feng Ling’s unforgivable actions, but rather, a reprimand for not handling the matter flawlessly.
Antonio stood at the door, and his whole world seemed to collapse.
