Secret Marriage: Wife Spoiling Husband-Chapter 400: A fool
After coming back from the grave, that day, Long Xun locked himself in his room again and he pondered over everything that he knew. He forced himself to think clearly about everything that happened to him and a clear picture formed in his brain. He started seeing that fact, the clues that were hidden from him.
Somebody was threatening his father. His father was forced to kidnap Li Xiaolu when she was a baby and his father did it because of his mother. The whole thing about his mother dying while giving birth to him was nonsense. His mother was alive and she was in somebody's captive.
But why Li Xiaolu?
What role did she play in everything?
What was her connection to his family?
Long Xun couldn't figure this out. He didn't understand why that person only wanted his father to kidnap Li Xiaolu. What was so special about her? Who was she?
If he can get the detail about her family, then maybe he can solve this big puzzle. Maybe finding her parents would help him in seeing the truths. After making a decision, he told his people to look out for Li Xiaolu's family. That was his only way.
Apart from this, there was something else that bothered him. His father trusted one person very much and that was Housekeeper Qin. If his father was being threatened then why did he not tell anything about that to Housekeeper Qin? Why was Housekeeper Qin unaware of the incident related to his mother?
Last time, that unfateful night when he saw his father for the last time, Housekeeper Qin was with him. Assuming that his father was dead, it was Housekeeper Qin who forced him to believe that all this was done by the remaining three families. It was Housekeeper Qin who made him believe in this and filled his heart with hatred for them.
Why?
Long Xun thought about this all night long and by morning, there were two conclusions in front of him — 1) Either Housekeeper Qin was as clueless as him and 2) He's a traitor.
Long Xun didn't want to think about Housekeeper Qin betraying him for he had put his whole life in Housekeeper Qin's hands. But one call changed everything. From his special sources, he got to know about all the details regarding Housekeeper Qin, about Su Yanyan and their Master. On top of that, Lin's party solved the last clue that was unsolved.
After the whole picture was clear in front of him, Long Xun realized what a fool he was to be raised by a traitor and to believe in the person who wanted his life.

Back to the present.
"So, Li Youbin let's start our game. If you get saved, then it's your luck but if you don't then you should blame your best friend." Long Xun chuckled raising the hammer.
"So my first question is, how did you feel after seeing that video?" Long Xun questioned.
Li Youbin glanced back and forth between Long Xun and the door. His entire back was covered in sweat and his whole body was getting numb with each second passing by. Even if he wanted to answer any of Long Xun's question, how would he do that?
His voice was long gone and he could do nothing else but pray that Housekeeper Qin would save him from this hell.
"Hey, Mr. Li why aren't you answering?" Long Xun asked with a puzzled look. But soon he smacked himself on his head and he laughed, "Oh! I am so forgetful. How can you answer me? Your voice is gone. Hahaha....."
"So..... that means that I'll give to hammer your head twice." he chuckled raising the hammer and just before the hammer could touch Li Youbin's head, the door opened with a bang followed by a scream.
"STOP!"
"Lucky bastard!" Long Xun cursed under his breath and he covered up the murderous look on his face and went into his acting mode. Turning around swiftly, he looked at the two people he knew who would come to save Li Youbin.
"Uncle Qin what are you doing?" he asked with a puzzled look on seeing Housekeeper Qin and Su Yanyan at the door. Su Yanyan was held at gunpoint while Housekeeper Qin was glaring at him.
"If you don't want me to kill your wife, then leave him!" Housekeeper Qin threatened. He glanced at Li Youbin who was kneeling beside Long Xun's and he took a sigh of relief seeing that he was alright.
Su Yanyan was also confused as she looked at the situation inside the dungeon. What was Long Xun doing? She couldn't understand anything. She was sure if Long Xun knew the truth, so she didn't tell Housekeeper Qin about her speculations. She wanted to play safe and look at the situation before deciding on anything.
"Uncle Qin, what is going on? Why are you doing this?" Long Xun questioned.
"Do you want me to kill her? Do you want me to blow her brains out to you?" Housekeeper Qin yelled.
"Why? Why are you helping him, Uncle Qin?" Long Xun asked throwing away the hammer in his hand.
"Tsk....tsk... Long Xun, can't you even figure this out? He and I are on the same team." Housekeeper Qin informed with a peal of mocking laughter.
"W-what?" Long Xun gasped.
"Yes, Li Youbin is my best friend. Whatever he did was all on my command. I told him to destroy Lin Xiaolu's life, to use her as a servant. I was the one who wanted Li Xiaolu to suffer. I was the one who was lying to you this whole time. Haha..... And like a fool you believed me, Long Xun. What a fool you are!" Housekeeper Qin laughed.
