His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy-Chapter 635

Chapter 635: LEATHER AND IRON

Hu Lei sat back in thought. The tale matched what she found out from her sources. Unfortunately, she was too late in her involvement. Therefore, she could get complete information about the accident. But that did not mean she would not get answers.

“What have you found out, Wang Che?” She turned to the distraught Wang Che.

Wang Che was a little distracted after hearing what happened to Shun. Therefore, he just responded to Hu Lei without overthinking.

“You have probably already found out what I know. Those two men were found dead, so there was no way of getting more information. But they were from Supreme City, and they were killed execution-style. So, whoever sent them is cautious.” He paused.

“I am almost completely sure that the person who sent those people is one of my brothers. I have spoken to my father about this matter. I do not expect to get real help from him, but he might be able to destabilise them. The culprit might expose himself.” Wang Che said thoughtfully.

Hu Lei nodded before responding. “You should consider all the possibilities before drawing a hasty conclusion. What do you think is the motive? From Shun’s experience, the person behind this matter is likely targeting you. Why would they go after Shun?”

Wang Che realised that he never considered the motive behind the strange accident clearly. If someone wanted him to lose everything in terms of material things, why did they have to attempt to kill Shun? It did not make sense.

.....

He thought for a moment. “Maybe, they wanted to mess up with my psychology. If Shun was gone, I do not know what I would have done. It would have destroyed me.”

Shun reached a hand and held Wang Che’s. The two of them looked at each other with the infatuation of teenagers who had not seen the realities of the world. It was quite sweet, really. But not to Hu Lei who was in her business mode.

She rolled her eyes. “While that is a good theory, the culprit does seem quite meticulous. Otherwise, they would not have made the arrangement with so much efficiency. They targeted Kaito’s wedding because there was a lot of movement.”

“Moreover, with people from other countries at the scene, the two waiters would not stand out. They also had a rocket launcher to finish up the job and eliminate evidence. And despite all this, the culprit made sure that he killed them.”

Shun was surprised by the information about the rocket launcher. He could not believe that he was so close to death. His hold of Wang Che’s hands tightened. Wang Che used his thumb to rub the tense knuckles.

“What do you think?” Wang Che asked.

“I think someone found out about your little twisted legal arrangement.” Hu Lei said with a strange smile, her golden eyes glowed.

Wang Che’s face darkened at the description of their relationship. Shun was a little confused by the meaning, but he also did not like what Hu Lei said. Hu Lei kept smiling in that irritating way as if she knew better than everyone.

“I am not judging. I am all for dysfunctional relationships with more than a little co-dependency. I think it is very sweet.” She said sitting back comfortably. “But you can see how the information could be used against you and put your lives in danger.”

Wang Che and Shun were silent as they contemplated.

“Well, it is late in the night, so I will save us the time it will take you to get to a realisation. If the culprit had killed Wang Che, what would have happened, legally speaking?” Hu Lei asked.

Wang Che understood immediately, but he responded to the question. “Everything I have would go to Shun.”

Hu Lei knew that Wang Che knew where she was leading them, but she continued with brilliant shining eyes. “And if Shun had died, everything he has becomes yours. So, if someone wanted to take everything from you, they would first have to kill Shun.”

The two men were a little creeped out by the excitement on Hu Lei’s face as she talked about their possible murder.

“And it is not only a practical solution to deal with the legal technicalities. By killing you both in that order, the culprit would get twice the wealth. It is brilliant, even elegant.” Hu Lei said. “And you were not wrong about the psychological aspect.”

“If I was organising the whole thing, I would find a way to make it look like a suicide. The poor Wang Che who lost his lover in a terrible car crash is unable to live another day and commits suicide. No one would even investigate.” Hu Lei laughed at the brilliance of her plan.

Zhong Feng, who had just entered the room, looked at his little wife helplessly. She always got excited at the strangest things. But she was cute when she had that glow on her face.

“Xiao Lei, stop scaring our friends. It is time for bed.” He said while walking to her.

Hu Lei snapped out of her glorious thoughts of murder. She looked at her husband with a pout. The change back to a cute little kitten was so fast that it almost gave Wang Che and Shun whiplash. But again, it was good that she was no longer plotting their demise.

“I was just trying to show them the realities of life.” Hu Lei turned to the two again. “My point was that your plan made you very vulnerable. It almost guarantees that both of you will die within a very short timeframe.”

“Of course, if Wang Che were to die first, it would not be a major problem. The Furukawa family would not be interested in the money.” Hu Lei added. “Now, you should think about who would be the beneficiary from Wang Che.”

Wang Che nodded. “I have not designated anyone. It is most likely that the Wang family would be able to convince the probate court to surrender everything to them.”

Hu Lei sighed. “And I assume that you refused to designate another beneficiary because you could not bear to think of the possibility of Shun dying?”

Wang Che gritted his teeth in irritation because Hu Lei kept mentioning Shun’s death constantly. He could not understand how she could be so casual about it.

Hu Lei smiled because she could see the rising anger in Wang Che. At the very least, it proved that he was not as emotionally repressed as she thought. Maybe, the ill-conceived relationship did have a chance after all.

She stood up and clung to Zhong Feng’s arm like an octopus. “As I said, I do like dysfunctional relationships. In fact, I find them quite hot. But do not be idiots without contingencies. Wang Che, if this arrangement did not exist, the culprit would have just directly killed you.”

“And you managed to guarantee that your family or any other person after your wealth will kill Shun first. I know that the whole legal arrangement was your idea. I will not call you stupid because I know that love can make people a little crazy.”

“But if you want to bind Shun to you, there are other less deadly ways to do it. Off the top of my head, I will say leather restraints and dungeon irons. I am talking about handcuffs, collar, armbinders, blindfolds, suspension equipment...” Hu Lei continued.

“Xiao Lei...” Zhong Feng said in warning.

Hu Lei giggled and tightened her arms around Zhong Feng’s, almost hanging on him. She loved it when Zhong Feng used his strict voice.

Then, she shifted her eyes back to the embarrassed Shun and awkward Wang Che. “What I am saying is that you should think things through before doing them. And do not be quick to dismiss my leather and iron idea. I can give you a number.”

With that, Zhong Feng picked up Hu Lei because he knew that she would not keep talking. And her suggestions might become more outrageous and explicit. It was just easier to just carry her off before she sat down again.

“It is late.” Zhong Feng said. “You should both stay in Azure Woods for the night. We will talk more tomorrow.”

Hu Lei waved at the new couple before she was taken away.

“She is really... something.” Wang Che said after a moment.

Shun remembered when he was convinced that Wang Che was in love with Hu Lei and wanted to still her from Zhong Feng. He felt more embarrassed. He had even decided to use himself as collateral to protect Zhong Feng’s relationship.

He was stupid. He should have figured it out sooner. But a small part of him could not help worrying about their future.

“She is.” He paused. “Are you sure that you do not want someone like her? I mean, you had girlfriends before. So, what if you change your mind in the future?”

Wang Che turned to face Shun with clear eyes. “I want no one in the world but you. Everything about you is my perfection. I will never change my mind because I never really knew love before you. And as for Hu Lei, she scares me. A lot.”

Shun was stunned for a moment at the heartfelt confession but the last part made him giggle. “She is really scary. And you do not even know half of it. We should probably not sleep tonight. She might just kill us to see if her plan would work.”

Wang Che laughed. “She can’t be that bad.”

“Oh, trust me, she is worse,” Shun said. “She has been teaching me to fight. And I will let you know she is quite vicious. Not a speck of humanity.”

“Then, we have to find something to occupy us through the night. You know, to ward off sleep.” Wang Che said with a wicked smile.

Shun started laughing again. “Your pickup lines are so terrible.” Please visit 𝒇r𝘦e𝘸𝒆𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝘭. 𝒄oｍ

Wang Che shrugged. “I am more of a doer than a talker.”

Shun stood up and looked at Wang Che with one lifted brow. He learned the subtle expression from Hu Lei and Zhong Feng.

“And yet, you have done nothing all these years.” He said drily.

“You little...” Wang Che stood to show Shun his prowess with actions.

But he ran off laughing.
