The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 331  It won't be easy

Setting the glasses of water down on the coffee table, Si Hongqi proceeded to take a seat next to Tian Ruyi.. It was good to see that the two women finally reconciled after what happened.

"Si Guanlin is up to something so you have to be careful, Mengmeng," Tian Ruyi said while holding her hands together.

A small smile appeared on Lu Mengjie's lips. "It's not like that's a new thing."

"He has to be stopped, Mengjie." The sharp gaze on Si Hongqi's face suggested that he was ready to strike. "We don't know what he's planning at all and… we don't know how far he'll go next time."

Even though he was his brother, he was also his enemy and that was something that could never change. Si Guanlin was already past saving.

Lu Mengjie couldn't help but agree to their words. It was about time to stop Si Guanlin. "But… he probably already knows that we're coming for him. I don't think he will make it easy for us to catch him. We need to take him by surprise."

Since Tian Ruyi was brought to the same location as Si Guanlin, she may have a general idea of where he was, but there was no assurance that he is still there. She didn't kill Si Hongqi like he wanted her to, and because he knew from the start that she wasn't on their side, he didn't tell her anything about his plans to begin with. "I want to deal with it once my husband wakes up," Lu Mengjie said as she looked at them. "Not only did recruited some of my men on his side but he also got some of Liwei's men. We don't know how powerful his force is right now if we are to face him head on."

"Not only that, he has the Si elders backing," Si Hongqi added.

"He wouldn't make an open move after what happened, especially when my father had taken a move in the underworld." When Lu Mengjie was abducted, mercenaries were hired, so Lu Mengjie's father, Lu Xian Yu, went in search of the other mercenaries who had escaped the confrontation with Yong Liwei. Aside from that, it was also possible that others believed that he had become frailer with age, which was why they underestimated him by going after his family; however, he had returned to the world of mercenaries in order to reassert his authority there.

With her father back in business and with the backing of the Wolf King, no one in their right mind would try to go after him and his family so brazenly so Si Guanlin would be forced to back down.

"Have the doctor told when Yong Liwei is expected to regain consciousness?" Tian Ruyi inquired.

Lu Mengjie paused for a brief second before lowering her head and shaking it slightly before she replied, "The doctor said that he has fallen into a coma so we don't know when he'll wake up." She clasped her hands together before facing them again with a small smile. "Anyway, I've slept for a while back then so I guess it's his turn to sleep. As much as I want to take care of things once he wakes up, I don't think that's possible."

"I have someone on his side that can tell us where he is," said Si Hongqi. "Her name is Matsuma."

Matsuma? Lu Mengjie furrowed her brows a bit. The name sounded familiar. Where did she hear that name again?

"Are you sure that we should face your brother head on?" Tian Ruyi was worried since if they faced them head on, that meant that there would be lots of bloodshed. "Can't we just report him to the authorities?

Sighing, Lu Mengjie shook her head a bit. "It won't be easy. Knowing him, he would not back out without a fight."

Si Hongqi nodded in agreement. "He would rather die fighting. He's that kind of person. That's why before the authorities could even capture him, he'll definitely kill a few people from the other side first before he'll be taken down." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I really don't know why Si Guanlin is doing all these things. Does he really hate me that much?" Lu Mengjie couldn't help but ask. She already knew that Si Guanlin hated her but she didn't know the reason why. "There must be more to it, right?"

Si Hongqi lowered his head. She was right. His brother wouldn't just do all this trouble because he hated Lu Mengjie. He could have killed her when he had the chance and yet, he played around with her like a cat playing with its prey.

Tian Ruyi couldn't help but heave out a deep sigh. "Seriously, I hope he'll get into an accident and just die so that all of this can be over already."

The other woman chuckled at her words. "That will be an easy way out huh?"

"But I don't want that for him. He's the one behind Jingye's death, right?" Tian Ruyi turned her gaze to Si Hongqi. "He was the one who sent people to kill him."

Si Hongqi bobbed his head a bit. On their way back to his place earlier, he had already told her that Si Guanlin was the person who sent his men to kill Bai Jingye.

"About that…" Lu Mengjie paused since she was hesitant about telling the truth to them. Both Si Hongqi and Tian Ruyi turned their gazed to her, waiting for her to continue.

She trusted them and this time, she was sure that Tian Ruyi was not on Si Guanlin's side at all but what made her hesitate was the words Bella Qin told her. She strictly said to keep Bai Jingye's condition to themselves and not to trust others.

Lu Mengjie clasped her hands together as she took a deep breath in. She trusted both Si Hongqi and Tian Ruyi, that's why she didn't want to hide anything from them. Besides, it was just right to tell Tian Ruyi that her precious best friend was actually alive. "You see…"
