His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

On the day of the Zhong Industries anniversary banquet, Hu Lei had a sense of foreboding. She felt a sick sensation in her stomach that she could not shrug off. Unlike her habit, she woke up earlier than even the busy Zhong Feng.

At breakfast, she could not bring herself to eat anything. She sipped on her orange juice with a distant look in her eyes.

"How are you feeling?" Zhong Feng asked in concern.

Hu Lei tried to smile. "I'm just a bit lethargic. Maybe I'm a little scared about appearing in public with you for the first time."

Zhong Feng frowned. "We don't have to do this if you are not ready."

Hu Lei stretched her arm and placed her smaller hand over Zhong Feng's. "I want to do this, Ah-Feng. I want to support you on this important day as your wife. Do not doubt that."

It is just that she had a feeling that something will go wrong. They had not seen any movement from the people looking for her or the assassins who had been targeting Zhong Feng for a while. It felt as if there was something big waiting to happen.

The worst thing was they were not being targeted by a specific person. They could not anticipate the appearance of a hidden medical organisation that behaved like a monster. There was no single head to cut down to get rid of the monster.

On the other hand, the assassins had no personal grudge. Their interest was only money. So, at a huge party, they could have any identity.

Zhong Feng could guess the cause of her worries. He held her hand in his warm one.

"Do not think too much about it. The anniversary party will be held in Demesne Hotel which is under my control. I have gotten my best security people to cover the event. And everyone who will be in attendance has been vetted." He tried to comfort her.

Hu Lei nodded even though she did not think that these precautions were enough. She was sure that she would have been able to get into the event if she had a target in that place. It was never too hard to infiltrate a party.

"I guess I am just a little out of it. It's just a bad feeling. It will pass." She sighed.

Zhong Feng stood up and pulled her from her chair and hugged her. She felt a little choked up, and some moisture formed in her eyes. She just felt like crying. She put her arms around him and hugged him tighter.

When he let her go, he held the cute face in his arms. He wiped the few drops of tears with his thumbs.

"There is something I was waiting to tell you after the party, but I suppose I can tell you right now." He said with an exasperated sigh.

Hu Lei's ears perked up.

"During this period, I have not only been dealing with Zhong Industries. I was also following your lead with Huo Kang, and I found out the current open identity of that organisation. We can deal with them once and for all."

Hu Lei's mouth fell open. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I also just found out. I have reached out through some of my connections in major governments. With the favours I have called in, investigations are already being carried out. It will take a while, but we will be completely free of them." He kissed her lightly on the tip of the nose.

"Which organisation is it?" Hu Lei could not help asking.

"International Health Alliance."

Hu Lei's mouth fell open once again. "Are you sure?"

"I was just as surprised. It changed names after the scandal involving Huo Kang and the other doctors. The paper trail was destroyed before they rebranded."

International Health Alliance was not a simple charity group. It had numerous programs in almost every country, especially in areas without good infrastructure for health. It stood at the top of the health pyramid.

"Then, how did you find them?"

"Of course, your husband is a genius." Zhong Feng laughed. "The key was in the money. Even if Global Volunteer Doctors was not a major organisation then, it was well-funded. There was no way they would let that money go."

"Then, why did it take so long?" Hu Lei complained.

"They did not go to the bank and ask for a direct transfer." Zhong Feng flicked her head lightly. "They tried very hard to hide the trail by using countless offshore channels with minimal tracking. If it was anyone else, they would never have found the link."

"If you say so, genius husband." Hu Lei giggled, her lethargy gone. "So, what's next?"

It felt anti-climactic to finish the quest for justice for an occurrence that had destroyed their lives so thoroughly. Even though they were happy now, it had been a tough road. And some scars remained.

"Did you want to have a shootout with the organisation?" Zhong Feng laughed.

"Well, it wouldn't hurt. It still feels incomplete in my heart. I wanted to punish someone." She growled.

The sound which was supposed to be intimidating sounded cute to Zhong Feng. He lifted her in his arms and kissed her thoroughly.

"I will make sure that everything is destroyed. And then, we will broadcast everywhere their actions so that they will not revive again." Zhong Feng promised.

"Fine. It's not a shootout, but I guess seeing them exposed would also be nice." She sighed.

"I have to go to work. Just spend the day relaxing. Your gown will be delivered shortly. I will pick you up before the party begins." He instructed her before giving her another kiss.

Hu Lei tried to focus and found it difficult. She pushed his face away.

"I can't spend the day relaxing. I promised your mother that I will prepare for the party with her and your sister." She groaned.

"You can cancel, you know."

"Don't be a bad influence." She pushed him away and turned him to face the door. "Go, go. Pick me up from the old house later. I will be the glamorous one."

Zhong Feng laughed as he left.

Hu Lei smiled as she walked him walk away. She was already feeling like the day would be great. And if anything happened, she still had Ah-Feng.

He had proved that he would always be there for her.
