Chen Xuyao nodded and glanced at Lu Xingzhi. Then he got Zhou Weiqi to pass the car keys to Jiang Yao. He then dragged Zhou Weiqi into his car.
Chen Xuyao understood that Mrs. Zhou was really unlucky this time. She had crossed Lu Xingzhi's bottom line. Therefore, a good kidnapping case had turned into a contract murder case.
To be honest, Chen Xuyao felt that his third sister-in-law wasn't hurt or frightened. However, Lu Xingzhi was still angry. His third sister-in-law was the most important person in his third brother's heart.
Mrs. Zhou had provoked Jiang Yao three times. This time, she had tried to kidnap Zhou Weiqi and implicated Jiang Yao. This time, Lu Xingzhi was probably going to settle old scores with her.
Therefore, someone had said that among the brothers, they could offend anyone but Hades Lu, Third Young Master Lu.
Look, in order to put Mrs. Zhou in jail for a few more years, he had even accused her of trying to kill a soldier's family member. The identity of a soldier's family member was enough to put the Zhou family under pressure.
They had originally planned to go to Zhou Weiqi's place, but something had happened midway and they hadn't bought the groceries. When they heard Jiang Yao say that she wanted to eat hotpot, they changed their route and went to the hotpot restaurant.
Lu Xingzhi drove them to the hotpot restaurant. Jiang Yao sat in the front passenger seat and felt like she was in a dream.
"In the afternoon, Zhou Weiqi suddenly told me that someone was following us. I was really shocked. But luckily, it was a false alarm." Jiang Yao supported her head with one hand against the window. She looked at Lu Xingzhi with a burning gaze. "Did I scare you too?"
Jiang Yao could still recall every detail of the scene of him getting out of the car and running towards her.
His back was facing the warm afternoon sun as he ran at lightning speed. The hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind like a blade, slicing through the wisps of light around him. His cold and stern face suppressed his worry for her. His pair of black eyes were like a sharp weapon, piercing through the people who had merely frightened her.
"When we return to Jingdu tomorrow, I will find someone to erase all traces of you. Although I was worried before, it didn't surpass the desire to hold your hand and announce to the world that you are my wife. That's why I've been bringing you around these past few days. When I received your call today, I realized that I was still afraid."
Lu Xingzhi's voice was low and deep. It was like listening to the ancient bell in a century-old temple. It was clearly right next to one's ear, but it was so distant that one couldn't catch it.
Every word and sentence crashed into the bottom of his heart.
"It's not time yet," he said.
Only now did he realize that he was still not strong enough. He was not strong enough to protect her completely under his wings.
Although he wanted to announce to the world that she was his wife, he was more concerned about her safety.
However, today's somewhat ridiculous and comical accident had awakened his rationality in his mind.
"Wait a few more years," he promised. "Just a few more years will be enough."
Jiang Yao didn't know if he had any plans in mind, but when she heard his words, her heart inexplicably trembled.
He desperately wanted people to know about her existence as his wife, but he was also worried about the danger she would face if he made it public. She grasped the conflicting emotions in his heart little by little.
