His Genius Wife Is A Superstar-Chapter 1403 Real Alpha

Lu Zihao's people, who accompanied Wei Lan and René Alejandro's group on their trip to see the viscount, reported the situation back to their boss.

Apparently, the vizconde had been attacked while doing some research for his work in the Caribbean island of Trinidad. As a result, he had sustained multiple injuries of different causes, such as being beaten up, knife lacerations and even gunshots.

Two of his companions had been killed. The other one, including the vizconde, survived the attack but was now also fighting for his life like him.

Their final companion was completely unscathed because he hadn't been present when the attack happened in the first place. Nevertheless, the vizconde sent him to buy groceries and other supplies in the neighbouring city.

It was only when he returned that he discovered what happened. He was the one who performed first aid to the vizconde and their other surviving companion. He was able to transfer the two heavily injured people to a better medical facility by flying to Barbados.

Wei Lan and René Alejandro's group flew directly to Barbados, where it was safer for everyone.

It was there that Lu Zihao's people called to report the situation.

Late at night, back at Dragon Palace Home #10, Lu Zihao glanced at his sister and brother-in-law.

"That's what happened," he told them. "Allegedly."

Iris and Jin Liwei nodded.

The three were in the master suite. They decided to keep it a secret from Long Jinjing, who was already sleeping in the bedroom she shared with Lu Zihao. So he left her to meet up with his sister and brother-in-law.

"I see a lot of suspicious points in the attack," Lu Zihao said. "Yes, Trinidad's crime rate is quite high, mostly gang-related violence. There have been many instances where tourists have been targeted and attacked. But if the only purpose of attacking the viscount was to rob or extort him, then why did he sustain such brutal, life-threatening injuries? It's as if his attackers had a vendetta against him."

Iris agreed. "That's true. Do you want me to help dig for more information about the incident?"

"Not right away. My subordinates that I sent to the Caribbean and Bacon's assistance are enough for now. Wait until my group finds out something more substantial and useful before you enter the scene. I don't want to send out the big guns when I'm unsure if the target is really a dangerous beast or just an insect."

She was amused at her brother's analogy. "So you think that I'm the big gun?"

Lu Zihao rolled his eyes. He said so many things, yet she decided to focus on this instead?

Jin Liwei, on the other hand, immediately raised his wife's hand and kissed it. "Of course, you're the big gun. My wife is the best."

She laughed and pressed herself closer to her husband.

Lu Zihao rolled his eyes again before tearing his eyes away from them. He refused to look at the shameless couple!

His sister and brother-in-law weren't the only loving couple in this place. Hmph!

At the same time, he couldn't wait to return to his own wife and embrace her. Long Jinjing had become so much happier after his love confession to her. As a result, her weekly therapy sessions decreased to every two weeks instead.

Lu Zihao felt relieved and also a bit guilty. If he had only realized his feelings for his wife sooner, Long Jinjing's mental and emotional states might not have been so unstable after giving birth.

"What are your next plans, Big Brother?" Iris' question interrupted his thoughts.

Lu Zihao cleared away all thoughts that didn't belong to their original conversation. After this, he had plenty of time to comprehend the full extent of his feelings for his wife.

The three continued talking about the vizconde. This matter was something out of their control for now due to a lack of information. They could only react according to how the situation developed while finding out more information about what really happened, and of course, the vizconde's real background.

A loud wail interrupted their meeting.

Iris moved so fast that it was like she was flying. Her maternal instincts activated before she could fully process what was happening. It felt like her body was already moving on its own before she could even think about it.

"Sounds like Little Mochi," Jin Liwei commented, sighing.

"Ah, the fussy brat," Lu Zihao said.

Jin Liwei gave his brother-in-law a side-eye. Even though he agreed that his eldest twin son was a fussy brat, he still didn't like other people describing his child like that.

Lu Zihao saw how Jin Liwei was looking at him. He snorted. "At least you only have one troublesome kid. Both of mine are already causing me and my wife headaches. Mikhail likes copying your sons. He would've already jumped out of the crib to the floor and played on the carpet with Mochi and Matcha if he could only support his head. Jinjing is already worrying about the dangerous things the brat would try to do once he grows up. The other isn't as adventurous, but Dmitri cries at every little damn thing. He even gets scared at the sound of his own voice and cries harder. I swear that Matcha is the easiest baby among the four."

"Little Matcha is indeed the most trouble-free compared to his elder twin brother and cousins, but his temper is the worst when triggered," Jin Liwei countered. "Even Little Mochi, the older brother, gets scared and starts behaving whenever Little Matcha is in a bad mood."

Lu Zihao laughed. "Seems like we now know who's the real alpha among the brats. Silent but terrible."

Jin Liwei raised an eyebrow. "You don't mind that the alpha isn't your kid?"

"Those two?" Lu Zihao curled his lip. "If Mikhail becomes the alpha, Evelinka and Jinjing will constantly worry about the kids getting into constant trouble. And Dmitri? I'll be shocked if that crybaby and scaredy-cat becomes an alpha."

"You're terrible saying that about your own sons," Jin Liwei said while laughing.

"I'm only being honest."

Despite Lu Zihao's disdainful words, his expression when talking about his sons was soft. Clearly, he loved his children even though his words were harsh.

Because it was already well past midnight, Lu Zihao decided to leave and return to his own wife and children. The matter about the vizconde was really not that urgent compared to his group's other current missions. For now, keeping a constant eye on the vizconde's situation was enough.

Lin Yehan removed his straw hat and wiped his sweat with his sleeve. He carried the full basket on his back and poured its contents into a waiting truck. The persimmons weren't wholly ripe yet, but their colour already looked mouth-watering. They smelled nice, too.

"Lunchtime, boss!"

"Alright," he replied and followed the other farmers to the sorting shed where packed lunches were already being distributed.

Lin Yehan interacted with the farmers working under him like they were all long-time friends. There was no awkwardness between a boss and his subordinates at all.

They were at a persimmon plantation that he owned far away from his farm villa. So he had to take a helicopter to reach this place. It was persimmon season, so he came here for an inspection.

When he arrived, he saw everybody working together to harvest the beautiful fruits. So he didn't hesitate to roll his sleeves and join them.

The weather was already getting colder, but Lin Yehan and the farmers still sweated from all the hard work. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow the author on Instagram: @arriacross]

He didn't mind doing this kind of manual labour. As the boss, he wasn't required to do the actual farming. However, he preferred to go to his agricultural properties now and then to do the dirty work personally.

It was to remind himself that the source of his wealth was the land, and he should never forget it. For him, this was an effective way of humbling himself.

At the moment, he was texting Jiang Ying Yue while eating with his workers.

"Look at Boss' smile. Is he talking to our future lady boss?"

"When is the wedding banquet, Boss?"

Lin Yehan laughed and didn't shy away from all the teasing.

"My girlfriend and I are still getting to know each other. But when the right time comes, I'll definitely marry her. If she agrees to be my wife, I'll give everyone a bonus."

All the workers cheered and wished him good luck.

After lunch, the workers started harvesting again while Lin Yehan began the inspection. He walked to a shaded area and tried calling Jiang Ying Yue when he was done. However, the line was busy.

"I wonder who she's talking to," he mumbled but didn't overthink it.

Instead, he called his assistant back home and discussed some work matters. After the call, he saw that Jiang Ying Yue had sent him a "Please call me" message.

He immediately called her.

"Yehan," she said before he could even greet her.

He frowned at her tone. She sounded desperate, even a little scared. His expression turned serious at once.

"What's wrong? Tell me, Ying Yue."

Jiang Ying Yue told him what had happened.

When he tried calling her earlier, she had been on the phone with her ex. Long Hui called her requesting to meet their son. He wanted to spend a day with Little Jun.

"I said it's fine, but some of my colleagues need to follow them all the time wherever they go," she said.

"Good. How did he respond?"

"He didn't like it at first but eventually accepted when I threatened that I won't let my son go to him without my colleagues. Then he requested something else."

"What?" Lin Yehan asked.

"He said...that he wants to, uhm, meet and talk to me...in person."

His expression turned ugly. "No!"
