His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Another shadowy figure jumped inside the hotel bedroom from outside the now broken window. Lu Zihao only gestured and his subordinate immediately set to work in moving the unconscious Rose Young because neither one of the two brothers-in-law wanted to touch the naked woman who disgusted them.

The subordinate arranged Rose Young in a prominent position in the entranceway where she would be the first thing to be seen once the door opened. The man didn't cover her nakedness. In fact, he positioned her limbs in such a way that her nudity would be in full display.

It was degrading for sure but she was the one who put herself in this situation. Were they supposed to be merciful and treat her with dignity when she planned on raping a married man?

They weren't saints. Far from it. They were already showing her mercy by not killing her for her repeated attempts to blacken Iris' reputation in order to snatch Jin Liwei.

If this was in his past life as Nikolai Vetrov, Lu Zihao would have already ended someone like Rose Young who made such a stupid and deadly mistake of targeting his beloved sister. Rose Young would have already mysteriously disappeared and turned into soil fertilizer.

It was too bad that the situation and his current identity weren't ideal for him to do that. Besides, they already agreed that Rose Young was still an important chess piece for them to uncover the true mastermind in the sinister plot to usurp Jin Corporation. She was still useful to them alive no matter how much they wanted her out of the picture for all the trouble she caused them especially tonight.

While the Shadow Winds member was dealing with the unconscious Rose Young, both Lu Zihao and Jin Liwei quickly set to work in messing up the entire room to make it look like there had been a fight.

Vases and glassware were broken. Bed sheets and pillows were tossed in a haphazard manner here and there. Curtains were torn and pulled down. 

Then Lu Zihao stood in front of his brother-in-law while his subordinate continued to make the bedroom look like a total wreck.

"Ready?" he asked.

Jin Liwei gritted his teeth. "Do it."

Lu Zihao punched him in several parts of his body, ripped his clothes, and scratched him in noticeable areas like the face and neck. To Jin Liwei's credit, he took everything like a champ, only groaning low in his throat now and then.

"Not bad," Lu Zihao praised. "Your body feels stronger and sturdier compared to how it was a few months ago."

"I've…been...training," Jin Liwei said in a hissing breath.

Lu Zihao nodded. There was approval in his eyes. "Done."

"Thanks fucking very much."

"You're welcome."

Jin Liwei groaned as he carefully massaged his throbbing jaw and cheekbone. His brother-in-law didn't hold back at all. He felt like he got run over by a truck. He wasn't going to complain though because he agreed in this part of the plan from the very beginning. Since this was the case, there was no way he would run away from his own decision.

Doing his best to ignore the pain, Jin Liwei adjusted his state of mind and prepared himself for the next stage of their plan. His concentration was not in the best state due to the remaining effects of the aphrodisiac. He craved for his wife despite the current battered condition of his body and mind.

Lu Zihao gave Jin Liwei a final nod before jumping out of the window followed by his subordinate, disappearing into the dark of the night, and leaving Jin Liwei alone with the unconscious Rose Young.

Jin Liwei's lip curled in disgust as he glanced at her. Afterwards, he refused to look at her any longer.

He started counting in his mind.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four—

Loud banging and shouts sounded outside the door.

Jin Liwei recognized the most urgent-sounding voice and smiled. Then for the last time tonight, he drew out his best acting skills which weren't anything impressive, but thanks to the already developing bruises and scratches left by his ruthless brother-in-law, he looked very believable without even trying hard.

He hurried to the door and opened it before slumping with a pained groan onto his assistant who had much better acting skills than him.

Xu Tian caught him and "cried" in alarm. "President! What happened to you?! Why are you covered in wounds?! And oh no! You've been drugged, too?! Which evil thing kidnapped you and did this to you?! Unforgivable! Guards!"

Jin Liwei's bodyguards swarmed inside the room followed by the hotel's security personnel. The other Jin Corporation executives learned about what happened because of how much of a ruckus Xu Tian made at the front desk. They followed the group, concerned about their company boss' safety especially after seeing Assistant Xu's panic.

The hotel manager also came with them and was now shaking in his shoes upon seeing the seriousness of the situation. He already became anxious earlier when Assistant Xu Tian reported CEO Jin Liwei's disappearance at the front desk. If a bigshot like CEO Jin was harmed inside the hotel's premises, the manager might be forced to say goodbye to his job.

They had been looking for Jin Liwei all this time but with no success. Even checking the surveillance cameras yielded no results. It was becoming apparent to the hotel staff that this might be a planned crime against the head of Jin Corporation.

Finally, an "eyewitness" directed them to this hotel room. While they all rushed to the hotel room, the "eyewitness" disappeared before anyone could ask her to stay for official questioning purposes. She hid in an empty corner and tapped on a hidden earpiece.

"Boss Hao, it's done."

Back in the hotel room, Xu Tian unleashed an impressive level of acting. His eyes even turned bloodshot as he deliberately influenced everyone's thinking by his loud tirade that his boss, CEO Jin, was the victim. Xu Tian's shouting disturbed almost everyone in the floor. Several doors opened and out came the other hotel clients to see who was causing the ruckus.

One of the Jin Corporation executives gasped out loud. "Is that…is that Rose Young inside?!"

A camera flashed.

That was when they noticed that a paparazzo managed to follow them to join the fracas.
