Chapter 831 Blood

January is known as the chilly month of Luxembourg. Tonight, it's tiny, hardly visible crystals of snow fell into the streets quietly. "Tomorrow at noon, the snow will be gone," Lily said as she lifted her head and watched the snow fall from the dark skies.

"You should close the window. It is pretty cold tonight." Zhou Jingren glanced at the temperature on his phone. Negative two should be normal in this country, but not for Lily. "Come." He pulled her closer against his chest. Despite the heater of the car, Lily's palms were already cold from the two minutes that she opened the window to look at the snow.

"When I was a child… I didn't have the chance to play with the snow."

"Why would you even want to play in the snow?" he asked. "It's cold and dangerous."

Lily chuckled in response. "I love sparkling stones and dreams of playing with snow. I was normal back then." As expected, he immediately laughed at her words.

"You are still normal now." He uttered, eyeing the street in front of them. While it was not particularly crowded, fewer people are walking in the streets tonight. That could be because of the cold. "She should be here by now. I still think seeing her is dangerous."

"I am not going to talk to her in this place." Lily reasoned. "The plan is to pick her up and send her somewhere safe before we talk."

For the umpteenth time, he shook his head. "I heard that Claude already asked someone to pack her clothes. They will leave in a few hours."

"Let's just wait for her," Lily said as she closed her eyes. The letter stated that they will see each other a few blocks away from the palace. But since Zhou Jingren and Lily had been very cautious, they decided to wait two blocks away from the meeting spot and just asked Zhou Jingren's people to pick her up and bring her to the palace.

After which Lily and Zhou Jingren will follow their car to make sure that she gets there safely. Of course… Lily also had some precautions set in case something else happens. After all… she is not the type that would blindly go to war without bullets.

The buzz in Zhou Jingren's phone stirred Lily out of her thoughts. "What's wrong?"

"As expected… There are other people near the area. Qin Yuanfeng is using the satellite to check it. We should get out of here." Zhou Jingren said, frowning as he instructed Secretary Go to take them to the palace. However, instead of panicking, Lily smiled instead.

They already knew that this would happen. All they needed to do is to make someone think that they are indeed going to that place to meet the older woman. After a few seconds, Secretary Go stopped the car, and the three of them changed to another car while some of Zhou Jingren's men drove the vehicle that they used earlier.

Slowly, their car went to a two-story house in the middle of the marketplace, which is about one mile from the spot that Madam Luo suggested they meet. Then all they needed to do now… is wait.

Harringfort paced in his hotel room, face grim, hands clenched. "I thought her grandson would kill her in case she tried to do something? Why did he even allow Lily to get close to her?" He yelled at the woman who stood opposite her. If Lily were here, she would surely recognize the woman as she was one of the attendants who poured some tea for them when they visited the older woman. This was also the same woman who gave Zhou Jingren the letter that Madam Luo wanted to send to Lily.

She lowered her head as Harringfort started pacing again. "Did you make sure that she can't leave and see Lily tonight?"

"Yes, Master. I switched the letter. So… I am sure that they got the wrong information. They are not supposed to meet in the park. The letter said that she wanted to meet her at the entrance of the marketplace next to the pub. But I changed it."

"What did you say?"

"I — I said… I changed it."

"You — " Harringfort turned speechless. The house where Madam Luo was staying is located in the west of Luxembourg, which was only a few blocks away from the pubs. However, the park was located on the east side of Luxembourg, which is more than a mile away from where Madam Luo is living. "STUPID!" He yelled. "How would Madam Luo reach the park at this hour without transportation? How could an old woman walk that far in this type of weather!? Are you fucking stupid? You moron!" His breathing turned shallow. "Yi!"

"Master?"

"Give me a knife."

"Master?"

"Give me your fucking dagger!!!!" he ordered and watched as the woman shivered in front of him.

"Yes… yes…" In response, Yi handed him the dagger. Without saying anything, Harringfort walked towards the maid and stabbed her right eyes using the dagger. The woman's screams immediately followed the sound of flesh being torn.

"AHHHH!"

"Shut up! Or I will fucking kill you!" Harringfort hissed. Narrowing his eyes at the woman on the floor, Harringfort calmly handed the dagger back to his right-hand man and let Yi wipe away the blood on his hand. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! If you keep on acting like a pig, you will be treated like one!" disgust laced his voice.

He turned his back against the woman and looked at Yi. "News?"

"Madam Luo left her house."

"Then… blow up that park."

"Master… Lily and Mr. Zhou also went outside…"

"Blow up that park to warn everyone that we are fucking watching them!" he barked, the lines in between his brows deepened. "Madam Luo will know that we are not that dumb to go to the park at this hour! They must be strolling somewhere! They are not fucking dumb!" He blurted as he listened to Yi, calling their people to blow up the park.

"Get this woman out of this room. I want to change to the next suite room. Have someone arrange it! I can't stay in a room laced with someone else's blood." Harringfort added before he left the room with a dark look on his face. "Stupid people!"
