Chapter 49

It was Zhao Xinxin, who appeared with He Dong, who made the move. As an assassin, especially one skilled in close combat, dealing with two ordinary people was absolutely effortless for her. Therefore, in just a moment, Bao Decai and Wang Hai lost their ability to fight.

"Ah!" This sudden turn of events stunned Sun Sheng, and even Lin Xuan's face showed a look of shock.

According to Sun Sheng's script, He Dong should have submitted to be captured and then endured his beating and scolding. But why was the outcome so different from what he had imagined? Moreover, he noticed that the person who made the move was a petite and adorable girl.

He Dong completely ignored Sun Sheng's complex thoughts. He was eager to rescue Lin Xuan from Sun Sheng's clutches immediately. However, just as he was about to make a move, Sun Sheng let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, "S... S... Stop! If you take another step, I'll kill her!"

Sun Sheng's dagger was pressed against Lin Xuan's neck, which made He Dong hesitant. Of course, he wasn't completely helpless in this situation. A simple binding spell could take down Sun Sheng without harming Lin Xuan. But doing so would expose his secret.

"For Lin Xuan, I'll risk it!" However, He Dong couldn't just stand by and watch Lin Xuan get hurt. With this thought, he gritted his teeth and suddenly looked up.

"You... What do you want? I... I... I'll really kill her!" He Dong's actions frightened Sun Sheng, making his voice tremble, his hand holding the knife shake, and his legs start to tremble.

"Whoosh!" At that moment, Zhao Xinxin, who had been following He Dong, suddenly raised her hand, and a silver light shot out.

Perhaps influenced by the Eye of Truth, He Dong's eyesight was now much better than an average person's, even without using the Eye of Truth. So while others saw a silver light, He Dong could clearly see that it was a dagger thrown by Zhao Xinxin.

"Ah!" Sun Sheng suddenly felt an excruciating pain in his shoulder, and the knife in his hand slipped and fell to the ground.

As Sun Sheng's scream echoed, He Dong immediately pushed off the ground and darted forward like an arrow, taking advantage of Sun Sheng's distraction to punch him in the face.

This punch was delivered with all of He Dong's strength, and Sun Sheng didn't even have time to scream before he was sent flying and landed several meters away, lying motionless.

"Xuan Xuan!" After taking down Sun Sheng, He Dong immediately went to Lin Xuan's side, picked up the dagger that had fallen from Sun Sheng's hand, and quickly cut the ropes binding Lin Xuan.

"Dong Dong!" As soon as she was free, Lin Xuan threw herself into He Dong's arms and burst into tears. Although she had been very strong in front of Sun Sheng, she was still a girl.

"Xuan Xuan, don't cry. It's all over, everything is over!" Seeing Lin Xuan cry uncontrollably, He Dong was heartbroken. He quickly held her tightly and comforted her softly.

Perhaps He Dong's comfort worked, and Lin Xuan was naturally strong. After crying for a while to release her fear and委屈, Lin Xuan slowly lifted her head from He Dong's chest.

"You... Hello!" As soon as Lin Xuan looked up, she saw Zhao Xinxin staring at her with big, curious eyes, which made her feel a bit embarrassed, as she had just cried in He Dong's arms for a long time.

"Master, is this your wife?" Zhao Xinxin asked curiously.

"Master? Wife?" Lin Xuan was puzzled by Zhao Xinxin's address.

"Let's... Shouldn't we leave here first?" Not knowing how to answer Zhao Xinxin's question about becoming a disciple, He Dong quickly changed the subject.

"Ah! Right! Let's leave here quickly!" At this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly remembered where they were, and the psychological shadow from earlier had not completely faded. Her face showed a look of panic again.

Exiting the abandoned factory, Lin Xuan immediately clung tightly to He Dong's arm, as there were over twenty people lying haphazardly outside, motionless like corpses.

"Don't worry, they're just knocked out!" Sensing Lin Xuan's tension and unease, He Dong immediately reassured her.

"Dong Dong, what about those people? Should we call the police?" Despite He Dong's reassurance, Lin Xuan's nervousness only gradually subsided after they got into the car. At this point, she suddenly thought of another issue.

"Don't worry, someone will take care of it!" He Dong said casually.

Although he was very confident in his abilities and had Zhao Xinxin's help, to ensure everything went smoothly, He Dong had already called Lei An on the way to rescue Lin Xuan. Lei An was probably on his way, and it was best to leave the rest to them.

Because Lin Xuan had been frightened, He Dong didn't take her back to school but directly brought her to his villa.

Lin Xuan knew that He Dong had bought a villa, but this was her first time here. As soon as she entered, she saw an injured person and was momentarily stunned.

In fact, not only was Lin Xuan stunned, but Wang Xuewu was also stunned. How did Brother Dong come back with another beautiful girl? His good fortune was really too strong.

"This is Xiao Wu! He's injured and is recovering here. Xiao Wu, this is my girlfriend." Apart from Lei An, He Dong hadn't told anyone else about Lin Xuan's kidnapping, so Wang Xuewu didn't know what had just happened. Seeing them both stunned, He Dong quickly introduced them.

"So you're my sister-in-law, nice to meet you!" Wang Xuewu looked at Lin Xuan with admiration, thinking to himself that Brother Dong was truly blessed, with an exquisite young female disciple always by his side and a girlfriend as beautiful as a celestial being.

"Xiao Wu, nice to meet you!" Lin Xuan responded.

Considering the shock Lin Xuan had just experienced, He Dong didn't let her talk much with Wang Xuewu. He directly led her to his bedroom, intending to let her sleep and rest. However, Lin Xuan's mood was still unsettled, and she refused to go to bed.

Seeing Lin Xuan's furrowed brows, He Dong suddenly had an idea. After a short walk, he brought in the White Jade Bee Queen and, pretending to play with it casually, chatted with Lin Xuan.

As a faint fragrance of peony flowers spread, Lin Xuan's frown gradually relaxed. By the end, she even laughed like a silver bell after He Dong told a joke.

The fragrance of peony flowers could make one feel happy, calm, and even induce sleep. He Dong had read this in a book and had read many such books since he obtained the White Jade Bee Queen.

In the end, whether it was the effect of the peony fragrance or the recovery of her mood, Lin Xuan gradually fell asleep while chatting with He Dong.
