The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 287

The car chase that started for only about a few minutes felt like it was an endless eternity and the longer it was, the more Lexus felt like he was drowning in darkness. It was a never ending silence that suffocated him so much that his heart almost stopped beating.

Dread crept in. Storm’s brewing. The devil’s awaken.

“Oh God.” Assistant Yu could not help but call on a higher being as if asking for help. He glanced at the back through the rear-view mirror and instantly regretted it because he just saw the shining blue-eyed demon shrouded in darkness. He shifted his eyes and checked on Yun Xixi.

‘Who is so fearless enough to provoke someone they shouldn’t have? And who doesn’t know who the wife of our boss? She is without a doubt the boss’ inverse scale.’ Assistant Yu’s scrunched-up brows deepened. ‘This is not something that anyone would do unless they have a backing that rivals that of the Song family.. There are also those that are enemies but I think that they just want to die early.’

Yun Xixi’s presence was almost nonexistent. She held her breath, scooted away from Lexus and visibly shaking like a leaf. All of her spunk was nowhere to be found and even regretted of punching Lexus. She felt like she would be tortured or worse get killed by Lexus after this was all over.

In the silence that was louder than shouts, Lexus’ phone rang. However, the tyrannical pressure in the air did not dissipate.

“…” Lexus lowered his eyes as if to cover the rage he was feeling. He answered the phone, put it on his ear, but this say a single word.

“…!” Luke felt a chill running down from his back down to his spine as soon as the call connected. He knew that Lexus would be in a bad mood but he did not expect that it would be this bad. “Hey, bro. Can you please chill for a moment? I feel like I’m about to freeze to death here.

Lexus felt his eyebrow twitch.

“If you don’t want to die single, then find my wife this second.” He gritted his teeth with seething anger. He was already on the verge of exploding and wreck havoc but he chose to hold it in so long as he’ll get his wife safe and sound.

The strings in his head that was holding Lexus’ were already few but Luke just had snap almost all of those just know. Of course, since Assistant Yu knew about this, although he did not know what Luke had told his boss, he can surmise that it was not at all good.

‘Young master Luke, what the hell did you even tell my boss?!’ Assistant Yu was internally screaming at the top of his lungs. After cursing at Luke, he prayed to all the Gods to bring his young madam back safe and sound. If not, his boss willl definitely turn into a demon and wreck havoc in this mundane world, destroying everything or anyone that cause harm to October and his children. Just the thought of it was making him pale in fright, shaking like a leaf.

“…!” Luke almost coughed out blood. Actually, he had dated a lot of women and can say that he was fairly a good guy who knows how to treat women. He was not at all like his brother who was too much of an eccentric person that he even thought that he’d die single making his parents cry. But now, his little cute brother just suddenly got married. Truly incredulous.

“Hey, bro. Don’t jinx me ah!” He felt terrified. He also wants to have a wife and create lots of babies that can create a soccer team.

“…” Lexus pursed his lips into a tight line. He did not want to argue with Luke with unimportant topics. His patience that was originally thin was now dangerously reaching it’s end. His veins’ pulsating and knuckles turning blue.

Luke felt that he should stop his teasing right now since it would not do him well. Only misfortune will come his way, that’s for sure. Thinking this, he cleared his throat and his face turned serious and cold, almost the same coldness and ruthlessness as October.

“I run the plate you said and there was a hit. Unfortunately, it was a fake plate. The identical black sedan cars that were seen was out of the view of the surveillance cameras of your company.”

“What?!” Lexus growled as his anger rose on another level, his face turning red.

“Tsk. Let me finish. ” Luke frowned, almost rolling his eyes. “Although there were no footage from your company, there were some clips from the other buildings. The kidnapping happened on broad daylight with busy pedestrian so there were a lot of witnesses at that time.”

“You mean–”

“Yes, we collected the videos from those passing pedestrian. Although the kidnappers covered most of their faces aside from their eyes, they were still identified by their eyes using our high-tech system. With that, we immediately identified the–”

“I don’t care what you did or how, just fcking tell me of you found her!” Lexus cursed loudly while putting his mouth on the mic of his phone making Luke hiss. The phone that Lexus held was already of the verge of breaking into pieces. “Tell me!”

Luke felt the back of his neck as it was aching so much. However, he has to say that his little brother had finally shown some human side of his…though he does not know if it was good or bad. He controlled himself from cursing back at Lexus, thinking that he should be rational as his pregnant sister-in-law was kidnapped which is truly urgent.

“Ye–”

“Send me the location.” Lexus ended the call in a hurry and anxiously waited for Luke’s message with his heart on his throat, glaring ferociously at his phone. As soon as his phone pinged, he opened his phone and his eyes immediately narrowed. He immediately told the driver the address and sped away.

Meanwhile, Luke gritted his teeth while looking at his phone. He so wanted to throw his phone and stomp on it.

“Fck! Twice. He cut me off twice! Sht.”

“Boss, I already sent the location to the young master.”

Luke run his fingers through his hair and tool a deep breath, trying to calm his raging anger.

‘That damn brat! You’ll regret messing with me.’ He thought with a sinister smile on his face while tapping his phone on his chin.

“Have you dispatched people to follow them?” He asked at no one on particular.

“Yes, boss. We’ve already contacted people near the vicinity for the lookout, following them close by. I’ve also contacted the military.”

“Mm. Good.” Luke nodded, tucking his hands into his pockets and went to the table with documents on top of it. He reached out a hand to grabbed the documents and scanned through it with his dark eyes.

“These lowlives. They dared touch people from the Song people. And of all people they provoked, it just had to be my brother. Haha. But this just made it so much fun.” Luke chuckled delightfully but his subordinates who heard this only felt a chill running up their arms.

‘The sadistic demon is happy…’ was what they all thought and bowed their heads.

“I haven’t had stretched out my arms and legs for a long time now and this just arrived at the right time. Hehehe. Oh no, my bad habit.” Luke tried to cover his mouth that was stretching to a smile. “Aah~! I wonder who the sneaky dirty little rat snatched the cheese of a cat.”

“Boss, your cellphone is ringing.” One of his subordinates said, bringing Luke out of his reverie.

Luke casually pulled out his phone from his pocket and answered it, “Hello.”

“You, how can you not pick up my call immediately?” A sharp angry voice immediately sounded on the other end.

“…what do you want?”

“Wha-?! Just because you got adopted into the family doesn’t mean that you really are a part of the family. Know your place, boy.”

“…” Luke lowered his eyes, hiding eyes from being seen by others. “Is there something I can help you with, Old Madam Song?”

“Hm! Good to know that you know how to respect your elders.” Gradma Song smirked. “Anyway, where is Lexus? He won’t answer my questions and his secretary is also the same. He is my grandson’s secretary and yet he does not know how to do his job properly. Tell him to fire him. I’ll recommend someone to be his secretary instead. Also, tell Lexus that Ling Xing is really pitiful. She won’t stop crying from how he treated her today. Tell him to apologize to her immediately and everything will be forgotten. Hey! Are you listening to me? You heard what I said, right?”

Grandma Song furrowed her brows because of how silent the other end was. She looked at her phone and was stunned to find out the call had been disconnected. And then, she exploded him anger throwing her phone in a feat.

“This ungrateful thing. You dare humiliate like this. Don’t think I would let this pass silently!”

Luke, on the other hand, fell into deep thought. Somehow, he just thought of something that he did not want to find out but he had to. He just wished that his speculations were wrong.

Quick with his actions, he had his subordinates track someone, from travels to call logs, everything he could get him hands to for accurate information. However, he had a bad feeling about this.
