To Love You Again

Chapter 572 - Watchful Eyes

Chapter 572 - Watchful Eyes

***

At the same time, Xiong Zhi and Linfeng were sitting in their own car as well.

Linfeng glanced at his girlfriend who was silent ever since they left the Tang building. "What are you thinking about?"

Xiong Zhi had a faint frown on her brows. "I wonder why Ming Zhi Yi attended Tang Yin's concert banquet. Mistress Tang had likely given him an invitation. But why?"

"Ever since Master Lu visited the Tang family a few months ago, the Tang's movements are all in favor of the Lu family. Perhaps the Tang family offered an alliance with the Lu family regarding Lu Yin Ze's inheritance. With Ming Zhi Yi's capability, he will surely get wind of it. He might have come today to confirm," Linfeng answered while his long fingers combed through Xiong Zhi's hair.

Xiong Zhi was a bit surprised.

Linfeng asked his people to watch the Tang family's movements?

Linfeng could see the question in her eyes. He chuckled. "I have a good relationship with the Tang family, however, it is better to have eyes everywhere."

Linfeng did not say that ever since Xiong Zhi mentioned her 'dream', he went all out and set eyes on all people and places he found suspicious, most especially the four legendary families.

After all, whether it was a dream or from a parallel world, he did not want to see any of it turn into a reality.

Xiong Zhi nodded, believing his words. "If Ming Zhi Yi saw the Tang family as an enemy now, what do you think he will do? "

Would he try to bite the Tang family down, a? legendary family who stood equally with the Lu family?

If so, what would be his first move?

Linfeng: "He disrespected Mistress Tang in the Tang's banquet. It is a clear sign that he sees the Tang family as an eyesore now. However, I doubt that he will do something to the Tang family at the moment."

"What do you mean?"

"I have my men check on a few things. Based on our investigation, Ming Zhi Yi is adamant on targeting the Lu family. And as you have suspected, he appeared to have a hand in poisoning Master Xiong. But after that failure, he haven't moved against the Xiong family at all. It might be the same with the Tang family. Besides..." Linfeng remembered what he heard from the conversation between Lu Jin and Ethan. "I think they are busy with something."

"?"

Linfeng told Xiong Zhi the story of him spying on Lu Jin.

Xiong Zhi's hair almost erected. She caught her boyfriend's hand and held it tightly.

"That's dangerous! Are you hurt anywhere?" Her long phoenix eyes raked over Linfeng's body with worry, trying to find any sign of injury.

She had no idea that while she was sitting peacefully inside the hall, listening to music, Linfeng had been caught and even exchanged blows!

Linfeng shook his head with doting eyes. He patted her back to calm Xiong Zhi down.

"Have trust in your man, Zhi'er. I won't lose to Lu Jin," he said teasingly to ease her worry.

It was indeed the truth, Linfeng was still holding back earlier. He also felt that Lu Jin should have also held back as well.

"They might find me suspicious but it's not a great deal anymore. We are bound to clash sooner or later."

Xiong Zhi looked at Linfeng with worry in her eyes. She did not want him to do something so dangerous unless there was no choice.

Linfeng brushed Xiong Zhi's hair soothingly and kissed her temples. "Take off that frown. There's nothing to worry about. I will let my people investigate Ethan's movement. Whatever actions their family will do from now on must have some connections to Lu Jin's side."

After thinking for a moment, Xiong Zhi squeezed Linfeng's hand. "Alright. I will talk to Lu Yin Ze as well. He should know something about today."

Linfeng's hand stilled.

"Can I come with you when you talk to him? I don't want you to be alone with that man."

"Alright."

Two days had passed.

Shinichi returned to his country. After the private concert of the Tang family, he stayed one more day in Country C to talk about business matters with Linfeng regarding ZD World, before leaving on the following day.

When Shinichi got out of the airport, it was already almost evening.

His phone rang.

Shinichi was about to answer the phone when his assistant who had been waiting in the airport lounge saw him and ran over.

Shinichi's assistant was holding onto a tablet. He must have been in the middle of browsing the internet.

"Young Master!"

"Oh, slow down..."

His assistant calmed himself and signaled to the other assistants.? The other assistants behind him took over Shinichi's small luggage.

"Young Master. How was your trip?"

"It's fine. I think I will be coming to Country C frequently."

The assistant nodded absently. His mind was not on Shinichi's answer. "Young Master, have you seen the news?"

"I haven't yet."

The phone rang again. Shinichi frowned. "Hold on."

He looked at the phone screen and saw that it was his father's secretary.

"Hello."

"Ah, young master! Did you safely arrive in the country?"

"Yes. I have already met up with my assistant."

"That's good to hear." There was a sound of relief. "Young Master, the Master summoned you to the main house. We will be preparing dinner for you tonight."

Shinichi raised his brows. His father only summoned him if there was something important to discuss with. He just arrived in the country yet his presence was already asked. What could it be?

"Alright. We'll be arriving in two hours."

After ending the call, he looked at his assistant.

"My father wants to meet me. We'll go directly to the main house. I think it's urgent."

"Ah, Young Master, you must have not heard the news yet since you were on travel."

"News?"

The assistant sighed. "The company is currently facing a scandal."

Shinichi: !

"What? What evil could possibly be linked to Simsung?"

"It is not Simsung, Young Master. It is a scandal from the Tanaka Group."

!!!

Shinichi was stunned.

He felt bad premonition about this.
