Chapter 467 - INTRINSIC INSTINCTS



Three days later, Hu Lei and Zhong Feng travelled to London on a commercial flight. Zhong Feng wanted to use their private plane because he was afraid of Hu Lei being uncomfortable. Even though she was active and lively, she had just had a baby. 

However, Hu Lei did not allow him to do it because of the type of mission they were undertaking. 

If she was not wrong, the top board members in the International Health Alliance were still keeping a casual eye on them. If they acted prominently, they would spook their target before they could gain anything. 

Furthermore, at the moment, they were uncertain of the identity of the person who had supported the IHA from behind. If they acted without proper consideration of the situation, they would probably lose more because they were in the light.

Therefore, she told Zhong Feng to make arrangements for low-key travel to avoid attracting attention. They did not disguise themselves, but they kept a low profile from the moment they got to the airport in Supreme City. 

The city of London was gloomy at the beginning of winter. Everything looked grey and bleak through the window of the black town car, giving Hu Lei an ominous feeling in her heart. There seemed to be shadows everywhere, looking and reaching for her. She shivered a little. 

"Are you cold?" Zhong Feng asked, placing a protective hand on her shoulder. 

"No, it\'s alright. You know I can withstand cold. I just don\'t like it. It brings up some bad memories." She said a little lightly, but she snuggled up to Zhong Feng. 

"We will soon reach the house, and you can be as warm as you like." Zhong Feng replied indulgently. 

Hu Lei frowned. "We should go to see that Chairman as soon as possible." 

"We are both tired after the long trip. We should rest tonight and get started tomorrow. He will still be there tomorrow." Zhong Feng tried to comfort Hu Lei. 

Hu Lei looked through the window to the darkening city. Droplets of rain covered the window as it started drizzling. She could resist the feeling of foreboding in the air. It was that intrinsic warning that had allowed her to remain alive for countless years in dangerous territories. 

That intrinsic instinct alongside her sharp skills was what made Jane the best back in the day. And the subsequent efficiency was the reason the members of the underworld and even orthodox groups who knew of her clamoured to hire her. Everyone felt it was a pity that she chose to follow her undoubtedly crazy father. 

"No. We should go tonight." She turned back to Zhong Feng. 

"You look quite exhausted and uncomfortable. Don\'t push yourself too hard." Zhong Feng\'s heart ached for his little wife. 

"You promised to listen to me while we are here. I know I have not been at the forefront of the underworld in a couple of years, but I lived in the scene for a long time, even before I was an adult. Just like you have your instincts about business or hacking, I have my own about this." 

"I cannot explain it, and perhaps it sounds a little superstitious. But I can sense a certain shift in the air. I have a feeling that if we do not go tonight, we will miss our chance of getting Kaito back." Hu Lei looked at Zhong Feng solemnly. 

Zhong Feng looked at his serious and cute wife, and he capitulated. He had promised to follow her orders. Even though he wanted to tell her that it was just paranoia and anxiety, he could not bear to say it when she looked at him earnestly. 

He sighed. "Alright. Don\'t worry. Everything is ready." 

The vehicle drove through the streets of the city to a relatively quiet part of town. It was part of the old London built before contemporary architecture had overtaken the glorious metropolis. The driver pulled through a majestic gate and into a modified old villa. 

"I did not expect your house in London to be so beautiful." Hu Lei exclaimed as they got out of the car. 

"Our house." Zhong Feng corrected and patted her head. 

"Could I be a rich woman?" Hu Lei dramatically placed her hands over her cheeks. 

"Is there anyone richer?" Zhong Feng asked. 

Hu Lei laughed. It was not that she drew lines between her and Zhong Feng, but she was not like other wives married into affluent families. She was not interested in getting shares, managing businesses or making connections to enhance Zhong Industries. 

She did her best when she accompanied Zhong Feng to parties, or when she was invited by her mother-in-law to afternoon tea with the local \'ladies\'. However, most of the time, she was detached from the power and wealth of the Zhong family. 

She wondered if she should get a little more active about her life and get involved in the family business. However, when she thought about how she already had to attend a few meetings for Etude Technologies, she felt her body losing power. 

"I should buy an island or something." She said as they walked to the house. 

"I think Grandfather gifted you one, but you were too lazy to manage your wedding presents when we got married." Zhong Feng laughed. 

"Then, why am I living like a pauper?" Hu Lei mulled about her lazy life at Azure Woods. 

The two people stepped through the door and found a row of men in black uniforms waiting in the vestibule. The group bowed to Zhong Feng with respect. 

"Welcome, Young Master." They shouted in unison. 

Zhong Feng had never been one to appreciate such grandiose displays, but he did not like their disregard for his little wife. He knew they were loyal to him, but it meant nothing if they could not offer basic respect to his greatest treasure. 

"Oh dear, did I become invisible again?" Hu Lei said playfully before Zhong Feng could say anything. 

The men felt a chill even though the words came from a woman who was five foot nothing. They looked at their Young Master and found that he had a dark face. At that moment, they knew they had messed up. In truth, they never took his wife too seriously. 

They thought she was just a pampered miss.

She was not involved in Zhong Industries, and Zhong Feng never brought her with him when he was dealing with business in Europe. As trained soldiers, they only respected their Master. If anything, they felt like the woman would be a hindrance to the mission. 

Still, they did not dare to show dissatisfaction when faced by their irate master. 

"Welcome, Young Madam."
