Chapter 49: Rescue

  The one who made the move was Zhao Xinxin, who appeared with He Dong. As an assassin, especially one skilled in close combat like her, taking down two ordinary people would be a piece of cake. So, just as soon as they faced off, Bao De and Wang Hai lost their fighting strength.

  "Ah!" This sudden change stunned Sun Sheng, and even Lin Xuan's face was filled with astonishment.

  According to Sun Sheng's script, He Dong should have surrendered at this time and let him scold and beat him. But why is the current result not what he imagined? Moreover, he also noticed that the person who took action was actually a petite and lovely girl.

  He Dong didn't notice Sun Sheng's complicated thoughts at all, and now he couldn't wait to rescue Lin Xuan from Sun Sheng's clutches. Just as he was about to take action, Sun Sheng let out a shrill scream like a slaughtered pig: "Stop... stop... stop right there! If you take one more step forward, I'll kill her!"

  Sun Sheng's dagger was placed on Lin Xuan's neck, which made He Dong somewhat hesitant to act. Of course, facing this situation, he wasn't completely helpless either. A simple entwining technique could take down Sun Sheng without harming Lin Xuan. However, doing so would expose his own secret.

  "For Lin Xuan, if I can't protect her then so be it!" However, He Dong couldn't just stand by and watch Lin Xuan get hurt. Thinking this, He Dong gritted his teeth and suddenly lifted his head.

  "You... what do you want? I... I killed... I really killed her!" He Dong's actions startled Sun Sheng, his voice suddenly trembled, the hand holding the knife also became somewhat unstable, and even his legs began to shake.

  "Whoosh!" At this moment, Zhao Xinxin, who had been following He Dong's side all along, suddenly raised his hand and a silver light shot out instantly.

  Perhaps due to the influence of Broken Illusion, He Dong's eyesight has become much stronger than ordinary people even when he is not using Broken Illusion. So in other people's eyes it was just a flash of silver light, but He Dong could see clearly that the silver light was a dagger thrown by Zhao Xinxin.

  "Ah!" Sun Sheng suddenly felt a sharp, heart-wrenching pain on his shoulder, and the knife in his hand slipped out of his grasp and fell to the ground.

  As soon as Sun Sheng's mournful cry had just sounded, He Dong suddenly kicked both feet on the ground and shot out like an arrow. Then, taking advantage of Sun Sheng's momentary distraction, he punched his opponent in the face.

  This punch was made with He Dong's full strength, so Sun Sheng didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before he flew out directly and fell to the ground three or four meters away, after which he didn't move at all.

  "Xuan Xuan!" After knocking down Sun Sheng, He Dong rushed to Lin Xuan's side, picked up the dagger that Sun Sheng had dropped, and quickly cut off the ropes binding Lin Xuan.

  "Dong Dong!" Lin Xuan, who had just gained her freedom, directly threw herself into He Dong's arms and burst out crying loudly. In front of Sun Sheng, Lin Xuan had been very strong, but after all, she was a girl.

  "Xuan Xuan, don't cry. It's all over, everything is over!" Looking at Lin Xuan crying uncontrollably, He Dong felt heartbroken and quickly wrapped his arms tightly around her, softly comforting her.

  Perhaps it was He Dong's comfort that took effect, and Lin Xuan herself was also relatively strong, so after crying for a while to vent her fears and grievances, Lin Xuan slowly lifted her head from He Dong's arms.

  "Ah... hello!" Lin Xuan lifted her head and saw Zhao Xinxin staring at her with a pair of big eyes, looking at her like a curious baby. This made Lin Xuan feel a bit embarrassed, after all, she had just cried in He Dong's arms for a long time.

  "Master, is this the mistress?" Zhao Xinxin asked curiously.

  "Master? Mistress?" Lin Xuan was stunned by Zhao Xinxin's address.

  "This...! Shouldn't we leave here first?" As for Zhao Xinxin's question about becoming his apprentice, He Dong was at a loss for words for the time being and immediately changed the subject.

  "Ah! Right! Let's get out of here quickly!" At this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly remembered where they were and the mental shadow from earlier still hadn't completely dissipated. A look of horror once again appeared on her face.

  As soon as they came out of the abandoned factory, Lin Xuan suddenly became tense again and hugged He Dong's arm tightly, because outside the abandoned factory, there were more than 20 people lying horizontally and vertically, motionless, just like dead men.

  "Don't worry, he's just been knocked out!" He Dong immediately comforted Lin Xuan, sensing her tension and unease.

  "Dongdong, what about those people? Should we call the police?" Although He Dong's comfort had eased her mind a bit, Lin Xuan didn't fully calm down until she sat in the car. And at that moment, she suddenly thought of another question.

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

  Although he was very confident in his own abilities and had Zhao Xinxin's help, to be on the safe side, He Dong had already called Lei An on the way to rescue Lin Xuan. Now it's probably almost there, leaving the rest to them is just right.

  Because Lin Xuan was frightened, He Dong did not send Lin Xuan back to school and instead took her directly to his own villa.

  Lin Xuan knew that He Dong had bought a villa, but this was the first time he came here. Moreover, as soon as Lin Xuan entered the door, he saw a wounded person and suddenly became stunned with wonder.

  Not only was Lin Xuan stunned, but Wang Xuewu was also stunned. How did Dong Ge turn around and bring back a beautiful girl? This peach blossom luck is too strong!

  "This is Little Wu! He's injured his leg and is recovering here! Little Wu, this is my girlfriend." Apart from Lei An, He Dong hadn't told anyone else about Lin Xuan being kidnapped, so Wang Xuewu didn't know what had just happened. Seeing them all stunned there, He Dong hastily made the introduction.

  "It's actually sister-in-law, great sister-in-law!" Wang Xuewu looked at Lin Xuan with some astonishment, thinking to himself that his brother was truly blessed, having a top-notch young female apprentice who followed him around all day, and also a girlfriend who looked like an immortal fairy.

  "Hello, Little Wu!" Lin Xuan responded.

  Considering the fright Lin Xiang had just experienced, He Dong did not let Lin Xiang and Wang Xuewu talk much, and directly led Lin Xiang to his bedroom. He originally planned to let Lin Xiang take a nap and rest for a while, but at this time, Lin Xiang's mood was still difficult to calm down, and she refused to go to bed no matter what.

  Looking at Lin Xuan's slightly furrowed brow, He Dong suddenly had an idea. He went out for a walk and then brought Bai Yufeng in, pretending to be casual while playing with Bai Yufeng and chatting with Lin Xuan.

  As a faint scent of peony flowers wafted out, Lin Xuan's eyebrows also slowly relaxed, and in the end, she even let out a silvery laugh when He Dong finished telling a joke.

  The fragrance of peony flowers can make people feel happy, calm and sleepy. He Dong read this in a book. Since he got the White Jade Bee King, he hasn't stopped reading books about this aspect.

  It's unclear whether it was the fragrance of the peony flowers or Lin Xuan's improved mood, but she fell asleep unknowingly while chatting with He Dong.
