Chapter 161 A Nighttime Talk Between Husband and Wife
The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight outside the window was completely blocked by the heavy curtains.
The bedroom was dark, the lights off. The air was thick with the unique scent of sweat and hormones, a lingering smell after the passion had subsided, forcefully proclaiming what had just happened.
Su Wantang felt completely powerless. She lazily rested her head in Lu Jingyan's strong, warm arms, not wanting to move a single finger.
This man's prowess in bed was exactly the same as, or even surpassed, his usual cold and tough demeanor.
Lu Jingyan's chest rose and fell slightly, his breathing had become steady, but the arms around her still held a force that made it impossible for her to break free.
The lingering fear of losing something and then regaining it is more intense than any sweet words.
Su Wantang listened quietly to his strong heartbeat, thump, thump, thump... each beat seemed to strike her heart, gradually dispelling the coldness and fear she had brought from the clinic.
After a long while, her fingertips unconsciously drew circles on his well-defined chest.
“Lu Jingyan,” she said, her voice still carrying a hint of husky allure, “I took some photos.”
Lu Jingyan hummed in agreement and opened his eyes. He didn't urge her, but instead tightened his arms, pulling her closer into his embrace, showing through his actions that "I'm listening."
After organizing her thoughts, Su Wantang recounted her discoveries in the locked room in detail.
"...a military-grade telegraph machine, with a map of Beijing spread out next to it, with several places circled in red pen."
"The military compound, the buildings of several core ministries, and the courtyard where Old Chen lived are all up there."
"I also saw a ward where the person inside was tied up, delirious, and covered in needle marks on his arms. The nurse was muttering a German word, 'Abfall,' which means 'useless.'"
Su Wantang's voice was flat, as if she were stating something that had nothing to do with her.
But Lu Jingyan could feel that with each word she spoke, the soft body in his arms tensed up a little more.
After he finished listening, a chilling murderous intent flashed across his eyes, which had just lost their lust.
“The points on the map are the power centers and pillars of stability in Beijing,” Lu Jingyan said in a low, cold voice.
"The 'watchmaker's' goal was to create a major earthquake in the upper floors by targeting specific areas."
His fingers gently stroked Su Wantang's back, comforting her.
"As for that 'useless person,' he's probably a failed experiment in their human trials. Those bastards at 'Eagle's Nest' are experts at this. They're likely testing some kind of slow-acting poison, or even a mind-controlling drug. If they succeed, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Lu Jingyan's analysis was precise and incisive, hitting the core of the problem.
Su Wantang added, "Qian Weiguo went there personally and even had the key to that room. This shows that he was directly in charge of that stronghold, and his rank was very high."
She paused, a cold glint flashing in her eyes: "I anonymously reported his corruption before, thinking it would quiet him down for a while. Now it seems that not only did it not work, it may have even spurred him on, making them speed up their plans. That old fox is too cunning."
Lu Jingyan's fingertips caressed her smooth back as he whispered, "If you rush, you're more likely to make mistakes."
The two exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's thoughts.
"Don't touch that clinic." Su Wantang sat up, the quilt slipping from her shoulders, revealing a patch of snow-white skin and mottled red marks. She didn't care at all, her eyes were frighteningly clear.
"If we take it down now, we'll only catch a few small fry. Qian Weiguo and that 'watchmaker' will definitely be able to slip away unnoticed, and it will be difficult to find them later."
“That’s right.” Lu Jingyan also sat up, picked up one of his shirts from the bedside table, and draped it over her shoulders, completely covering her private parts.
"We need to make this net even bigger. We need to not only catch them, but also drag those behind them down with us."
That's a very assertive statement.
Su Wantang looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips. This man always seemed to think the same way she did.
"I have an idea." Her beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to sparkle like stars in the dim light.
Tell me about it.
"Aren't they conducting human experiments? Isn't there a 'waste'?" Su Wantang tapped her knee lightly with her fingertips.
“Those people went through so much trouble, they definitely won’t give up so easily. I can concoct an ‘antidote’.”
Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.
“A medicine that can restore the sanity of those ‘crippled’ people, and even make them appear ‘cured’.” Su Wantang’s tone revealed a kind of “Bai Shu”’s” confidence of being in control of everything.
"Then, I used the bald-headed man's connection to spread the word. I said there was a miracle doctor who could cure this strange disease. Do you think they would be interested?"
Lu Jingyan's eyes lit up.
He instantly understood Su Wantang's plan.
This is a hook! An incredibly ingenious scheme!
If the people at "Eagle's Nest" ignore it, it means they have completely given up on "Abolish Wu".
But if they come, whether they want to seize the prescription or arrest the "miracle doctor," they will be exposed to their sight. They can follow this lead and dig out more people and things.
"A brilliant plan." Lu Jingyan didn't hold back his praise.
"You've thrown a barbed bait into their fishpond."
“Having bait alone isn’t enough; you also need a strong enough fishing line and landing net,” Su Wantang said, looking at him.
Lu Jingyan understood.
“I’ll pull the fishing line,” he said in a deep voice.
"I will have the technical department monitor all radio signals near the clinic 24 hours a day, trying to crack their codes. Even if they can't crack them, they can still pinpoint their communication patterns and general direction."
"Where's the net?" Su Wantang pressed.
“Tomorrow, I will personally meet with the old man and Old Chen.” Lu Jingyan’s expression became extremely serious. “This matter has gone beyond the scope of an ordinary criminal case, and we must obtain the support of the highest level. When we close the net, I will use thunderous force to wipe out all the evildoers and monsters, uprooting them completely!”
His words carried weight and authority.
Looking into his eyes, where he seemed to have mastered the art of strategy, and feeling the powerful aura emanating from him that remained unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, Su Wantang's heart finally settled down.
This is her man.
Courageous and resourceful, loyal and righteous, with the strongest arms and the wisest mind.
Having lived two lives, this was the first time she had experienced the sense of security that she could completely entrust to someone.
She leaned forward and kissed his sexy chin, which still had a little bit of stubble on it, making her lips itch.
"Lu Jingyan," she whispered in his ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"Let's drag these sons of bitches out of the gutter and let them die in the sun."
Her voice was soft, yet it carried a ruthless edge that ran deep in her bones.
Lu Jingyan's heart was stirred by this vulgar remark.
He liked her spirit.
She is not a delicate flower nurtured in a greenhouse, but a strong and resilient rose who can walk alongside him through thick and thin.
He didn't say anything more, but suddenly tightened his arms and pulled her into a tight embrace again.
