A text message from an unfamiliar number.
[Mr. Lu, following your method, I and the police have found my wife, although she's hanging on by a thread now, your great kindness, I shall never forget for as long as I live. As for what comes next, I will make sure to complete it according to your instructions, to repay your benevolence.]
Lu Ming held his phone, his eyes deepened, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled, but he did not reply to the message. Instead, he deleted the message.
"..." Sitting beside the dining table, Jing Yiren was biting on her chopsticks, observing Lu Ming who was looking at his phone, the corners of his mouth lifting into a sinister and charming smile.
It was as if he was planning a grand conspiracy, an expression Jing Yiren had never seen before.
It made Jing Yiren feel inexplicably nervous.
This side of Lu Ming seemed like a cunning villain who had committed countless heinous deeds, one Jing Yiren had never encountered.
