Chapter 737 - 649: Lethal Strike, Double Kill 2

Chapter 737: Chapter 649: Lethal Strike, Double Kill 2

If it was pre-arranged, it means Qian Huan has been awake for a while. The bodyguards that Wang Xinfa and I placed by her side, they might as well have been blind.

She managed to stage this play under the watchful eyes of two parties, deceiving everyone completely. That’s truly remarkable, haha—

Lu Chenjia contemplated, feeling both anger and admiration, with admiration dominating.

He was fundamentally different from Wang Xinfa, who had a strong desire for control etched in his bones and could not tolerate any imperfection.

But for Lu Chenjia, he wasn’t that concerned about his reputation, and could tolerate minor offenses, as long as substantial benefits could be gained—everything was negotiable.

Li Hanyu’s appeal was undoubtedly related to her son, which was easy for Lu Chenjia to figure out, but what Li Hanyu was willing to offer in return was still unknown.

What Lu Chenjia could instantly comprehend, a veteran in the political arena like Wang Xinfa couldn’t possibly miss.

A dangerous glint flickered in his eyes, an offended anger surged to his head.

It had been so long, too long... since anyone had dared to calculate or "defy" him like this.

Yet at this moment, he had no choice but to suppress this monstrous anger into his chest, unable to let it erupt.

Wang Xinfa could be ruthless, turning his back without morality, even scavenge the Qian family, leaving nothing behind.

But he absolutely couldn’t, at this moment, amidst so many eyes, especially with the room full of his faction’s confidants, commit such merciless acts.

As a superior, he could kill and burn, commit all evils, defy all bounds, but he absolutely could not... be petty and unkind.

More accurately, you could be petty and unkind, but you couldn’t show it.

"Haha—, this cunning woman, turns out, not only is her tongue soft, but her teeth are unexpectedly hard too..." Murderous intent surged in Wang Xinfa’s heart.

He took a deep breath, the air icy like shards, forcefully suppressing the boiling anger.

The muscles on his face twitched slightly, then quickly adjusted, re-adopting that mask of deep sorrow and affection.

You like acting, then I’ll act along with you.

He extended his broad hand, gripping Li Hanyu’s tear-trembling shoulder, his five fingers digging through the fabric into her delicate shoulder blade, the force almost crushing the bone.

Then, he turned to Qian Huan in the fish tank, his voice low and powerful, like a father promising his beloved son:

"Qian Huan, your mother’s words are not wrong. Your efforts, your merits, I and President Lu—have seen them, and kept them in our hearts.

No matter how the wind changes in the Second Prison, no matter the future of the ’Octagonal Cage Plan’... as long as I’m here, the credit that’s yours will always be yours, no one can take it.

Rest assured, focus on recovering, and strive to climb out of this fish tank soon to accompany your mother."

Excruciating pain shot through Li Hanyu’s scapula, making it hard to stand, cold sweat beading from her forehead, yet her face forced a "happy" smile.

She spontaneously wrapped her arms around Wang Xinfa’s arm, nestling closer, striving to portray obedience, a dependent bird-like demeanor.

In the fish tank, Qian Huan raised his head, eyes bloodshot and full of "grateful" tears, gazing "devoutly" at Wang Xinfa, his lips trembling fiercely, his myriad words finally distilled into a hoarse choke:

"Thank you, Member of Parliament, for the great kindness to my mother and me."

Li Hanyu clung tightly to Wang Xinfa’s arm, enduring the bone-crushing pain with her scapula, also hoarsely and deliberately:

"Still calling him Member of Parliament? During the time when you were unconscious, the Member of Parliament took special care of us mother and son.

Remember for your mother—from now on, treat the Member of Parliament as if serving your own father, understood?!"

Li Hanyu originally didn’t intend to speak so candidly, but the pain from her shoulder made her scalp tingle, her vision blacking out intermittently.

She hadn’t expected Wang Xinfa’s malice and heartlessness to far exceed her worst predictions, despite once sharing a bed, he truly shows no consideration at all.

Inside the fish tank, Qian Huan was completely stupefied.

He didn’t remember this scene being part of the script he designed with his mother.

Why did his mother add a scene on her own?!!

However, Qian Huan responded quickly, keeping his acting skills sharp, he took a deep breath, and with deep emotion he articulated a single word:

"Dad—"

The average person might struggle to casually call someone dad, but Qian Huan had no such psychological barriers, since he couldn’t remember knowing what his biological father was at all, whether that man was round or flat, alive or dead.

The word "Dad" entered his ears, and Wang Xinfa turned green, feeling as though his bones were coming apart, the strength in his fingers clutching Li Hanyu’s shoulder suddenly dissipated.

He could go around telling people that he treated Qian Huan like a "good son", but he couldn’t tolerate Qian Huan actually calling him "Dad" in public.

This word "Dad" isn’t something to be thrown around lightly?

Don’t you know, with this call, I really... damn it, fuck your mother.

Li Hanyu manipulated Qian Huan to deliver a Double Kill on Wang Xinfa!!!

"Child, don’t—"

Wang Xinfa was stunned for a full second, and by the time he wanted to reclaim it, it was already too late.

This time, before he could finish his words, some official standing in the back, moved by this "reunion of father and son" scene, couldn’t help but excitedly murmur and subconsciously applaud.

The murmur and applause ignited like a fuse.

In an instant!

"Clap clap clap—!"

"Clap clap clap clap—!"

Applause of praise continued to echo in the bedroom.

The officials had sincere expressions of being moved, as if they were witnessing the Member of Parliament and his wife joyfully wed and blessed with a child, a wonderfully happy reunion.

Du Changle, with his plump body squeezed amid the crowd, also felt compelled by this reunion atmosphere, his fat hands involuntarily "earnestly" patting together.

Not applauding was not an option, not applauding would be too out of place.

Feng Mu stood aside, witnessing this scene, inwardly praising "brilliant", and followed suit with the applause.

Liu Yi and Song Ping’an saw Minister Feng already applauding, and didn’t hesitate a moment to join in, clapping their hands with extra force.

Lu Chenjia looked at the unexpected climax before him, a meaningful smile gradually emerging on his face.

He calmly took half a step forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Wang Xinfa, slightly tilting his head, with an unreserved playful tone:

"Congratulations, Member of Parliament, now you actually have a son, your family life instantly becomes complete, truly envy others."

He sincerely congratulated while considerately suggesting:

"Perhaps, Member of Parliament should take some time to spend with your family and enjoy your family life?

Rest assured, concerning work matters, whether it’s the handling of the Special Envoy attack case or the orchestration of the ’Octagonal Cage Plan’...

I, Lu Chenjia, and the entire Bright Group are duty-bound to—offer our full support!"

Wang Xinfa glanced sideways at Lu Chenjia, their eyes silently colliding amidst the chaotic applause.

His inner rage surged higher and higher; Lu Chenjia’s seemingly respectful probing was more infuriating than Li Hanyu’s "defiance."

After all, no matter how much Li Hanyu performed, she couldn’t truly harm him, but Lu Chenjia and the Bright Group behind him could indeed...

Though they’ve been longtime partners or dining companions.

Yet, in these times, a so-called partner is merely a pack of hyenas drawn by the scent of blood.

When you’re strong, they’ll help you tear into the meat; but reveal even a hint of weakness, and they’ll be the first to bite you.

Wang Xinfa understood this bloody truth all too well.

He achieved his current status by eating through many enemies and devouring many partners completely.

Wang Xinfa side-eyed Lu Chenjia, with a smile hiding rage:

"No need to trouble President Lu. As a Member of Parliament for the Executive Government, I prioritize work and the interests of Zone 9’s people. However, if I truly can’t manage, when the need arises, I will surely ask, and then I hope President Lu will assist generously."

Lu Chenjia’s smile remained radiant, seemingly unfazed by the sharp edge in Wang Xinfa’s words. He even nodded slightly, respectfully stepping back half a pace, speaking steadily:

"Your words are too heavy, Member of Parliament. Your matters are my matters too. I, Lu Chenjia, and the Bright Group stand ready, awaiting your orders..."
