Lin Ruoxue didn't wait long before she saw Su Chen co out and head to the driver's seat.
"Are you alright?"
After seeing Su Chen, Lin Ruoxue asked worriedly. By then, she had cald down sowhat.
"Do I look like there's sothing wrong?"
Su Chen said with a slight smile.
"What about those n?"
Lin Ruoxue still wasn't at ease and continued to inquire.
"I beat them up and they ran off from the back of the factory."
Su Chen said casually.
"That's good, that's good!"
Lin Ruoxue exclaid with relief, tapping her chest. She knew Su Chen was formidable. So, though she was sowhat skeptical, she didn't say much.
"Your leg injury...? Is it alright now?"
Lin Ruoxue asked both worriedly and curiously.
She had seen with her own eyes how a man with a thick iron rod had struck him; she had even heard the sound of bone cracking!
How could he seem unhard so quickly?
"It's fine, nothing major,"
Su Chen shrugged. Though it still hurt a bit, it was nothing serious now.
Lin Ruoxue was even more astonished. For ordinary people, a hit from that iron rod could have been crippling, if not fatal. Even if they recovered, it would not be less than six months to a year!
And her husband? It had barely been any ti, and he looked as if nothing had happened!
"Honey, you should still go to the hospital for a check-up, just to see if there's anything wrong,"
Lin Ruoxue still said, unconvinced.
"Have you forgotten? Your husband here is a Divine Doctor!"
Su Chen said with a tilt of his head and smiled, then started up the car and drove away from the deserted factory.
Lin Ruoxue felt reassured after hearing this. Every ti she saw that Su Chen was hurt, her first thought was to go to the hospital, forgetting the fact that he was a Divine Doctor. It was almost instinctual!
When they returned to the villa, Lin Wenlong and others were not yet back. Su Chen first helped Lin Ruoxue to the bedroom to rest; after all, she had quite a fright that day.
"Honey, should we tell Grandpa about what happened today?"
After sitting on the bed, Lin Ruoxue hesitated and asked.
Hearing this, Su Chen also hesitated. He knew that Lin Ruoxue was actually referring to the matters concerning Lin Wenlong and his son.
He was contemplating whether to tell Lin Ruoxue the whole truth, as, of course, it involved Lin Wenlong and his son.
Whether it was Grandpa Lin or Lin Ruoxue, they both had a right to know the truth.
After all, Lin Wenlong and his son were their relatives, at least they had been.
Su Chen pondered for a mont, then turned to Lin Ruoxue and said,
"Ruoxue, I actually lied to you earlier. I killed those people, and Lin Wenlong and his son are already dead."
"Killed? What if sothing happens to you, what do we do if the police co for you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue's eyes widened with intense anxiety.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine,"
Su Chen gently held Lin Ruoxue's hand and said,
"Aren't you angry that I killed them? After all, they were..."
"How could I be angry with you? If you hadn't killed them, they would have killed us,"
Lin Ruoxue said,
"Besides, both you and Grandpa had given them chances; they didn't cherish them. They deserved what ca to them."
Lin Ruoxue, though kind-hearted, was not weak or without limits.
She knew, if Su Chen hadn't killed them, it wouldn't guarantee they wouldn't strike back.
Moreover, that father and son duo had repeatedly tried to poison Grandpa and herself, wishing them dead, and now had committed such an act. Were they even family anymore?
Now, her only concern was for Su Chen!
"But honey, how can you be alright after killing those people?"
Lin Ruoxue worriedly said. After all, those were several lives, even if those people were extrely vicious!
"Honey, don't worry, when I say it's fine, it's really fine. Think about it, when have I ever lied to you?"
Su Chen said with a warm smile.
Lin Ruoxue thought about it, and it was indeed so.
Although she was always worried about many things he did, for so reason, nothing ever ca of them in the end.
For instance, the old man he had killed in Qi ng Tower last ti—she worried about that for a long ti, but until today, not a single person had co to investigate.
Lin Ruoxue was no fool; she vaguely felt this might be related to his hidden identity.
Last ti, didn't soone call him "Instructor"? That's a title you'd hear in the military.
And today, she heard terms like Dark World and Lord of the Underworld from Lin Chao's mouth—such bizarre titles!
Only Su Chen hadn't told her, and she wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
For the current Lin Ruoxue, as long as Su Chen was alright, everything else was secondary.
As for the many unknowns, she believed that Su Chen would tell her eventually, perhaps he felt the ti was not yet right.
"Honey, aren't you scared after hearing that I've killed so many people?"
Su Chen asked curiously. Before, he had not told Lin Ruoxue the truth, partly because of this concern.
Because the average woman, upon hearing such things, would surely be terrified out of her wits and might flee from him without a second thought.
But Lin Ruoxue didn't. Instead, she was constantly worried about whether he would be alright.
It wasn't just Su Chen who found this strange; Lin Ruoxue herself also thought it was odd.
Because she hadn't even considered the notion of fear just now.
Were soone else to tell her this, she might have fled without a second thought.
But with Su Chen, she felt none of that; she couldn't quite explain why.
Perhaps it was because his actions today were all for her!
Or maybe she had already acknowledged him in her heart and trusted him!
All she was worried about now was whether this incident would bring him major trouble!
Then Lin Ruoxue looked directly at Su Chen and said seriously:
"You might sotis be a jerk and annoying, but I believe you are still essentially a good person!"
Having lived with him for so long, Lin Ruoxue might not boast about other aspects, but she trusted that he was a man of principles and limits.
How bad could such a man really be?
Upon hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but smile wryly; he had never imagined that Lin Ruoxue would have such an impression of him.
A man whose hands were stained with so much blood—could he still be considered a good person? Su Chen didn't know.
But hearing Lin Ruoxue say this, he did feel quite moved, because she trusted him!
Yes, at the end of the day, it all stemd from her trust and love for him!
At that mont, Su Chen felt very content and happy!
"Alright, you should rest for a bit now. I'll call you when it's ti for dinner."
Su Chen said gently as he tucked the blanket around Lin Ruoxue.
"Okay then."
Lin Ruoxue nodded, then looked at Su Chen:
"Should we tell Grandpa about this? I'm afraid it might be too much for him to handle."
"It's fine, I'll talk to them when they return,"
Su Chen said with a smile:
"With here, the old man won't have any problems."
"Mm."
Lin Ruoxue responded, then asked again, still not entirely reassured:
"Are you sure there's really no problem with that matter?"
"Don't worry, trust , I promise it's fine."
Su Chen nodded again.
"Mm, I trust you."
With that, Lin Ruoxue slowly closed her eyes...
