Last Love chapter 104
Wen Ke was twenty weeks pregnant, and it was time for an ultrasound. Both he and Han Jiangque had been looking forward to this prenatal checkup, eager to see the babies through the ultrasound. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a disappointing situation.
However, the babies’ condition was excellent. The doctor explained the situation while letting Wen Ke take a look.
Even after being pregnant for so long, this was the first time Wen Ke had seen the little ones in his belly. From the screen, he could even vaguely see their facial features. The two little things were curled up together, with large heads resembling soybean sprouts.
His babies, his and Han Jiangque’s babies, were indeed tiny lives.
Wen Ke couldn’t utter a word; his mind was blank, and even his fingers trembled.
The doctor patted his shoulder and, while adjusting the angle, gently said, “Look, they’re both very healthy, without any issues. I was a bit concerned during your previous checkup because the gland level was a bit low. But it seems like you’ve been well taken care of this time, maintaining a stable mood. This state must be maintained. You’re carrying twins, and the physical burden will be heavy. You must continue to pay attention and not be careless.”
Xu Jiale, with his experience, concentrated on watching and didn’t forget to record a video on his phone. He grinned at Wen Ke and said, “Later, you have to show the video of the little soybean sprouts to the future dad. It’s a very important experience in a lifetime.”
“Thank you,” Wen Ke finally reacted. He looked at Xu Jiale gratefully, his mind still in a daze, completely forgetting about recording the video.
After leaving the hospital, Xu Jiale said he would go buy two cups of hot milk tea. Wen Ke sat in the car, opened WeChat, and sent the video Xu Jiale had just recorded to Han Jiangque.
It seemed like Han Jiangque had been waiting for his message. As soon as the message was sent, the profile picture of the “kissing giraffe” immediately lit up with a red dot.
“Babies?”
Even in text, surprise and anxiety were evident: “Are they in there? Are they healthy?”
“Both babies are very healthy,” Wen Ke typed, one word at a time.
“I’m also doing well, don’t worry.”
Wen Ke paused for a moment but still added cautiously, “Han Xiaoque, can we watch the next ultrasound together?”
When he sent this message, he secretly hoped that this cold war had an endpoint in both their hearts.
On Han Jiangque’s side, “Typing…” was displayed for a long time. But in the end, he replied with a concise, “Okay.”
Wen Ke placed the phone on his chest, closed his eyes, and let out a gentle sigh.
He could still feel the concern in Han Jiangque’s heart, but Han Jiangque was unwilling to say it out loud and unwilling to take that extra step.
Between the two, there were so many hidden corners that the sunlight couldn’t reach when they were together.
There, there was the resentment hidden by the beloved for a long time, the resistance to love that cannot be, and so much that is not understood. It was like dust swirling in the sealed cracks, waiting for a thorough cleaning.
…
In the afternoon, Xu Jiale happened to be driving with Wen Ke to the Twin Stars Building for a meeting. However, the parking lot was full, so they decided to check if there were any parking spaces near the LM Club, about a hundred meters away.
But as soon as they reached the LM entrance, both Wen Ke and Xu Jiale noticed that something was not right. Several cars with clearly marked government and public security bureau plates were parked on the usually spacious parking lot. Many people in uniforms were entering and exiting with serious expressions. Around them, quite a few people stood at a distance, seemingly observing and discussing something.
This kind of scene was rarely seen, making it look like a crime scene at first glance.
“What is this…”
Wen Ke felt a bit nervous. Xu Jiale and he quickly got out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the LM Club. As they approached, they were directly stopped by the police officers on duty, who said straightforwardly, “What are you doing? We’re conducting an investigation inside, and casual bystanders are not allowed in.”
Wen Ke and Xu Jiale exchanged glances. They now knew that the LM Club was, in fact, one of Han Jiangque’s businesses. Naturally, they were more worried but also realized that standing here wouldn’t help.
Returning to the car, Xu Jiale and Wen Ke notice an Alpha who seems interested in Xu Jiale’s Tesla. Xu Jiale seized the opportunity and asked, “Hey buddy, do you know what’s going on?”
“I heard they’re under investigation for violating business regulations by the government.”
The Alpha glanced at Xu Jiale and Wen Ke, teasingly adding, “You, an Omega who’s already pregnant, why come here at a time like this?”
But Wen Ke’s expression was tense. He asked in a low voice, “Why? LM Club has been operating for so long; how did it suddenly become a case of violating business regulations?”
“Well, I’m not entirely sure. The police can’t tell me why.” the Alpha shrugged, “Just heard from some employees who were here before. The police showed up out of nowhere this morning, saying LM Club’s services need rectification. If you ask me, it’s probably because someone up there didn’t arrange things properly. But I’ve heard that the owner of this place has some strong backing. Strange, I can’t figure it out. By the way, I see your car is pretty good, a Tesla in B City, not many of those. Is it convenient for charging?”
“It’s okay in the North District; there are places to charge.”
Xu Jiale wasn’t in the mood for small talk. After a brief response, he pulled Wen Ke into the car, looking serious. “Wen Ke, this is problematic. You need to call Han Jiangque and ask about the situation.”
“I know.”
Wen Ke furrowed his brow and dialed the number. However, neither Han Jiangque nor Fu Xiaoyu answered his calls. After several attempts, he pocketed his phone in frustration. “No answer.”
“You mentioned before that Zhuo Yuan’s uncle works in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, right?”
Xu Jiale looked a bit ominous.
“Yeah, but…”
Wen Ke also had doubts, but he felt that this matter was too terrifying. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, “Can it happen so quickly? We just had a class reunion yesterday, and today…”
“It really can happen this fast.”
Xu Jiale smiled bitterly. He was too familiar with this kind of thing and said quietly, “It’s just a courtesy call. First, they shut it down, then they investigate. Even if there are no issues, they’ll find faults to talk about. After that, it will be closed for a few days, fined some money, and they’ll have to negotiate. I hope it’s not the case, but the possibility is high.”
…
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the opposite shopping mall, in the corner window room of Yunyi Tea Pavilion, Zhuo Yuan and Zhuo Li were sipping tea and watching the chaos downstairs at LM Club.
“Uncle,” Zhuo Yuan squinted at the chaotic scene below, poured a cup of tea for Zhuo Li, and said with a smile, “Why close down this club? LM is just popular in name. This business model doesn’t make much money; it’s just a gimmick—”
Zhuo Li looked at Zhuo Yuan expressionlessly, obviously a bit displeased. “The little brat with the surname Han has no brains, and you? You’re the same?”
“Yes, yes…” Zhuo Yuan could only awkwardly force a smile.
“The kid is foolish enough to bring us to this point just for a love affair. There’s no need to make the situation uglier now. The Han family’s influence is strong in H City. It’s not wise to directly interfere with their significant businesses.”
Zhuo Li said, “We’ve already made our point. The smart thing for the kid surnamed Han is to back down.”
“Uncle, not to criticize, but,” Zhuo Yuan quickly spoke, “Han Jiangque might not be as sensible as you think. If he were smart, he wouldn’t have caused trouble for us in the first place. Now, even my father has been forced to resign, and he won’t be gentle in his actions.”
“Little bastard.”
Zhuo Li glanced at Zhuo Yuan, clearly a bit displeased, “This reckless little brat. If it weren’t for the Han family, I would have finished him off directly. Watch him closely and don’t act rashly. If he understands what’s good for him, we’ll consider it a loss. I can reinstate your father in a few months. But if he continues to cause us trouble..”
Zhuo Li’s expression darkened, speaking in a low voice, “Then we’ll have to deal with him more efficiently. He’s a bastard, and the Han family can’t find evidence. It will end quietly when the time comes.”
“Have some tea, Uncle.” Zhuo Yuan smiled, pouring another cup for Zhuo Li.
He looked down at LM Club, his eyes gleaming with a serpent-like light.
Han Jiangque won’t back down.
Even if Han Jiangque wants to, he won’t allow it.
He could endure anything but couldn’t tolerate Han Jiangque having a more distinguished family background than him.
Every time this thought arose, it felt like it was tearing at his inner self.
Zhuo Yuan didn’t want to engage in a life-and-death struggle with the Han family. He wanted to make Zhuo Li take revenge for him, and for that, he needed Han Jiangque to become a mad dog, biting firmly until death.
As long as Zhuo Li didn’t fall, the Zhuo family wouldn’t fall, and the dilemma he faced with his father would be resolved.
And he knew too well how to make Han Jiangque go crazy.
Wen Ke was Han Jiangque’s weakness.
Zhuo Yuan smiled, glancing at his phone. There was a message from an unknown number:
“The medicine is ready. As per your request, one drop is enough to make any Omega go into an uncontrollable heat state, and suppressants won’t work. Colorless and tasteless, undetectable after digestion.”
Zhuo Yuan quickly replied, “Can it be used during pregnancy?”
“It can, but it might harm the fetus.”
“No problem.”
Zhuo Yuan chuckled and put the phone back into his pocket.
