The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 717 - 732: Someone is definitely going to suffer.
Everyone chatted while eating, and only returned when the sun was setting.
Lu Jinghan and his friends had spent an entire week in the Maldives before returning. By the time their flight landed in An City, it was already evening.
Outside the airport, Assistant Zhang was already waiting. As soon as he saw them come out, he quickly got out of the car to help load the luggage into the trunk.
After first sending Chu Ci and Li Manman home, Assistant Zhang then turned the steering wheel toward Lu Jinghan’s villa.
On the back seat, Han Xi was already drowsily leaning against Lu Jinghan’s embrace and had fallen asleep. In the quiet car cabin, one could hear the gentle and even breathing of the girl.
Lu Jinghan’s phone, which was in his pants pocket, started ringing. Worried it might wake Han Xi, he directly took out his phone and pressed the answer button.
"Young Master, you should come to the old residence immediately, the person who drugged the Master has been caught," Housekeeper Li’s voice came through the earpiece.
Lu Jinghan’s eyes instantly tightened: "Alright, I’ll be right over."
After hanging up, Lu Jinghan glanced sideways out of the car window at the streets illuminated by the first lights, a fierce and chilling gleam in his deep, unfathomable eyes.
Once the car stopped at the villa, Lu Jinghan took off his coat and draped it over Han Xi, bent down to pick her up into his arms, and strode toward the house.
Feeling her body being lifted, Han Xi drowsily snuggled against Lu Jinghan’s chest, and soon fell back into sleep.
Assistant Zhang also got out of the car, opened the trunk, took out their luggage, and followed Lu Jinghan into the villa.
Sister Zhang knew they were returning today, so she was busy cooking in the kitchen, and quickly came out upon hearing the door open: "Sir, the Madam is asleep."
Lu Jinghan nodded and headed upstairs with Han Xi in his arms.
Back in the room, Lu Jinghan gently undressed Han Xi and covered her with the quilt before leaving.
Descending the stairs, Lu Jinghan gave Sister Zhang a few instructions, then left with Assistant Zhang.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Assistant Zhang didn’t know what Lu Jinghan was heading to the old residence for, but the overwhelming aura emanating from him gave a chilling foreshadowing that someone was in trouble.
The car quickly stopped at the old residence, and inside, Housekeeper Li heard the car engine sputter off and hurried to the door: "Young Master, you’re back."
Lu Jinghan nodded darkly, switched to the slippers the servant handed him, and proceeded to the living room.
Ji Qing saw Lu Jinghan arrive and tried to put on a pleasing smile: "Why didn’t Xiao Xi come with you? Has she eaten yet?"
Lu Jinghan crossed his legs on the sofa, his eyes cold as ice with a chilling glare that made Ji Qing’s heart tremble.
At this hour, Lu Jingchen and Lu Jingwei were still out partying with those hangers-on and hadn’t returned.
"Where is my grandfather?" Lu Jinghan directed his question at Housekeeper Li.
"After dinner, the Master returned to his room to rest, saying he wasn’t feeling well."
Lu Jinghan nodded, extracted a cigarette from the pack in his pocket, tilted his head to light it, the fiery ember flickering at his fingertips.
"Your scheme to harm Grandpa was for the inheritance, right? You wanted to trick him into dividing the family assets once he became senile, hmm?"
Lu Jinghan’s fingers rested on his knee, holding the cigarette, his deep voice carrying an overwhelming aura.
Ji Qing’s body shuddered violently, her heart jumping to her throat. How did Lu Jinghan know she had drugged the old man?
