Chapter 563: 563

“Alright, got it . ” With that said note, Lyrick Jiang ended the call before he knocked on the window of the back passenger seat . Slowly, the window rolled down and revealed Ethan Lu’s side profile . “Master, the person is now in the authorities hands . ”

“Good . ” Nodding his head in understanding, Ethan Lu glanced at Lyrick Jiang before he creased his brows . “What is it?” he asked . Lyrick Jiang glanced at Lexi first as he pursed his lips, hesitating whether or not he should tell it .

“It’s fine . ” Guessing his assistant’s concern, Ethan Lu nodded his head in approval .

“Red asked for immunity if ever the man spoke . He requests for our legal team to protect the man — also, Nico’s help to deploy his team for a mission . ” As Lyrick Jiang got his master’s approval, he relayed Jarred Guo’s request, which was rare for him .

Knowing Jarred Guo, he rarely asked for such requests or even planned a mission . Regardless, Lyrick Jiang took this matter seriously because the ever lazy Jarred Guo had made a move; it only meant that he perceived it with high regard .

“I see…” Same as Lyrick Jiang, Ethan Lu had the exact conclusion . However, he needed to talk to Jarred Guo first to know his findings about the situation . “How about the thing I asked earlier?” Despite Lexi’s presence, Ethan Lu asked about his request earlier about Victoria Tang .

“About that… there was no update yet . ”

“Okay…” With that said note, Ethan Lu nodded his head again before he rolled the window up .

“Did something happen?” When the window closed, Lexi knitted her brows as she stared at her husband .

“I’m not sure but if Jarred is exerting more effort than he usually does, this means what we expected was just the tip of the iceberg . ” Ethan Lu sighed in distress as he massaged his temples .

Thinking of Louis Lu’s words earlier that day, plus Dylan Lu and Dennis Lu, Ethan felt his head throb . Not to mention, Lincoln Lu who was the shadiest of them all was only waiting for the perfect timing to execute whatever plan he has .

Just thinking about it, Ethan Lu was in so much stress . He had always felt that the Lu Family was barely clinging together, but now; it felt like it was falling apart .

Ethan Lu would be lying if he said he didn’t care . No matter how he despised the family he grew up in, or the environment it offered because of their family’s enormous wealth . Ethan Lu still cared for them, regardless of how little his concern was .

At the very least, he didn’t want everyone to end up as a murderer . There had been too much blood that their family shed from the very beginning of their clan . Therefore, Ethan Lu had a desire to stop the curse .

“All is well,” for a moment, Ethan Lu had forgotten that Lexi was sitting beside him . The thoughts in his mind flooded his head that he could not think straight and clear . However, feeling her soft palms sliding in his, and then her soothing voice assailing his ears, his muddled mind magically cleared .

Turning to the smiling Lexi, a helpless sigh escaped his mouth . He then assisted her hand closer to him, leaving a peck on the back of her hand . “What would I do without you?” He whispered, resuming to kiss the back of her hand .

“I’ll always be your support . Let’s call it a day — it has been a lengthy one . ” Lexi slightly squeezed his hand . Because of their busy schedule, Lexi rarely sees him be in such a state of pressure and distress . After all, whenever they arrived at the Yang Manor, they had the habit of leaving their work issues outside their doorsteps .

It was not like Lexi and Ethan Lu didn’t talk about them whenever they are alone . Still, the experience of seeing it in actual and when they talked about it has a vast difference .

“Mhmm…” Ethan Lu hummed a tune as he closed his eyes and rested his propped his chin on the back of her hand . “I want to go home . ” He weakly whispered, which made Lexi nod her head before guiding his head to rest on her shoulder .

Although Ethan Lu cancelled his schedule for the day, he felt extra exhausted . Fortunately, his energy booster was with him hence, he could rest for a while . Until now, he was thankful to have a wife as reliable as Lexi .

“Thank you,” under his breath, Ethan Lu whispered and Lexi responded with a simple hum . They were getting tired from all these schemes that were popping up one after another . However, they might get tired from all this crap . Still, that wouldn’t stop them from facing all these problems head-on . They just hoped that these people would let them be .

“Knock knock…” Churu muttered, her voice was much louder than her knock . Without further ado, she slowly slid the door open and took a peek inside .

When she saw Morris Liu reclining on the bed while he unhurriedly retracted his eyes away from the window nearby, as he turned to look at the girl sneaking in .

“Hey hey~” Curling her lips up, Churu raised her brows as she approached his unmoving front . “How are you?” Her voice was meek, rather it was gentler than her tone earlier this morning .

“Where’s Ethan?” Blinking once, Morris Liu asked flatly .

“Err… home?” Churu scratched the back of her head as she awkwardly chuckled .

Actually, Ethan Lu forbade her from visiting Morris Liu for a while as he had a lot of things going on . Therefore, Churu snuck out when Lexi and Ethan Lu had gone to tend to the twins after arriving at their home .

“He doesn’t know you’re here?” Morris Liu asked, seeing through her uncertain response .

“No…? I told him that I’ll go here . ” Lying through her teeth, Churu shook her head as she pressed her thin lips together .

However, Morris Liu frowned . He might not know this lady in front of him, but he certainly knew Ethan Lu .

“You told him and he refused . Why did you sneak out? What do you want?” His voice was chilly, as if he could produce a blizzard in an instant yet, Churu just jerked her chin forward .

“Because I want to sleep here! I’m sleeping with you, duh?” She declared, rolling her eyes as if her intention was obvious .
