Bang!

The man in black's head exploded like a watermelon, splattering Jiang Chen with a mixture of red and white fluids.

Lin Zhiyan's face turned pale all of a sudden, a wave of nausea surged up, but she forcibly suppressed it.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Bang! Bang!

Thud! Thud!

The fight continued, Jiang Chen's wounds multiplied, yet the men besieging him diminished in number.

Thud!

The last black-clad man fell, with bodies strewn all around Jiang Chen. He, drenched in blood, resembled a blood-soaked figure.

The crisis over, his Cultivation Technique ceased to operate. Jiang Chen's body swayed, and he collapsed toward the ground.

"Jiang Chen!" Lin Zhiyan exclaimed, rushing forward to support him.

Glancing at Jiang Chen's somewhat dazed eyes, Lin Zhiyan was startled and hurriedly dragged him to the car.

"Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen, are you alright? Wake up, Jiang Chen!" Lin Zhiyan frantically shook his body, her own bloodstained, as tears swirled in her eyes.

"Stop shaking me, or you'll shake me to death!" A weak voice sounded, and upon closer inspection, Lin Zhiyan saw Jiang Chen's eyes regaining clarity.

Lin Zhiyan burst into tearful laughter, glaring at Jiang Chen, "You scared me to death, you jerk!"

"I'm fine, just a bit tired. I need to sleep for a while," Jiang Chen whispered, and with a tilt of his head, he leaned into Lin Zhiyan's arms. The world went dark as he passed out.

"Jiang Chen!" Lin Zhiyan shouted, reaching out to shake him again but stopping, recalling his recent words. She looked at Jiang Chen's weary face and began to bandage his wounds gently.

After a quick bandage, Lin Zhiyan's suppressed tears fell as she cried, caressing Jiang Chen's cheek, "You can't die, you absolutely can't!"

Pulling out her phone, Lin Zhiyan called the family's private doctor and ordered them to rush to her place immediately. She then drove home with Jiang Chen in tow.

...

Ding dong!

While Jiang Chen was ambushed, Gong Lin, who was resting at home, received a message.

Gong Lin took out her phone to check. Her brows furrowed slightly.

'President Gong, there is a problem with the investment project. Please come to the company immediately!'

Without suspicion, Gong Lin quickly got ready and left the house, driving towards Yi Chen Company!

How could there be a problem? And... who sent that message?

While driving, Gong Lin suddenly realized something was wrong. Every investment in Yi Chen Company was personally reviewed by her, unlikely to have issues. Furthermore, the message was from an unknown number.

Whoosh... Squeal!

Just as Gong Lin grew suspicious, two cars suddenly turned in front of hers and started braking abruptly!

Startled, Gong Lin slammed on the brakes!

Crash!

Bang! Bang!

Four men in black got out of the two cars ahead, one of whom was Ling Tianlin!

"Get out!" Two men in black opened Gong Lin's car door and roughly dragged her out by her hair.

"Who... who are you?" Gong Lin, her face white with pain, struggled to lift her head and angrily demanded an answer.

Ling Tianlin walked over, leaned down, got close to Gong Lin's face, and signaled the men in black to let her go, with a sinister smile he said, "I didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so lucky, to have such a beautiful wife! You don't recognize me, do you? Your husband Jiang Chen hit me, so now I'm going to take his wife."

"You... Jiang Chen will definitely come to save me!" Gong Lin realized the reason behind this and sneered through gritted teeth.

"Ha-ha! Ha-ha..." Ling Tianlin burst out laughing. "Beauty, you don't know yet? Right now there are over a dozen experts trying to kill him, he's as good as dead!"

"What?!" Gong Lin stiffened upon hearing this, worry creasing her face.

"You still have the heart to worry about others? You better start worrying about yourself first!" Ling Tianlin's expression turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, the two men in black reached out to grab Gong Lin again.

Gong Lin's expression darkened. She dodged the men's hands and stood up, coldly commanding, "Don't touch me, I can walk on my own!"

"Ooh, feisty. Fine, let her walk. When we get there, I'll take good care of her!" Ling Tianlin sneered coldly and turned to head back to his car.

The men in black stared at Gong Lin intently, ready to prevent her from escaping.

Gong Lin didn't bother with a futile escape and calmly followed Ling Tianlin.

Upon getting into the car, Ling Tianlin took out his phone and snapped a photo of Gong Lin, who frowned and glared coldly at Ling Tianlin.

"Ha-ha, about to take you down, how could I not let that bastard Jiang Chen know?"

With a wild laugh, Ling Tianlin used his phone to send Jiang Chen the photo of Gong Lin, accompanied by a text message:

'Are you dead yet? If you're not, get ready to watch your wife get screwed to death! Of course, if you want to watch your wife get screwed to death in person, you can come to my detached villa in the eastern suburbs. I think you should be able to find the place!'

Pocketing his phone, Ling Tianlin turned to look at Gong Lin, sneering, "I really hope Jiang Chen isn't dead at the hands of those experts. That way, he can rush over here to save you and then, watch as I take you! Ha-ha..."

Gong Lin glared fiercely at Ling Tianlin, her eyes betraying worry not for herself, but for Jiang Chen.

...

At the Lin Family villa, when Lin Zhiyan brought Jiang Chen back, the Lin Family's personal physician was already waiting at the villa entrance.

"Hurry, give me a hand!" Lin Zhiyan opened the villa door, called out to the doctor, and together they helped Jiang Chen into the villa.

After stitching, cleaning, and bandaging, Jiang Chen was nearly wrapped up like a zongzi.

"Doctor, how are his injuries?" Lin Zhiyan asked the physician anxiously.

The doctor spoke in amazement, "This man is really lucky! Each wound is quite deep, but they all avoided vital areas, and they missed the tendons and muscles, too. It's truly very fortunate!"

Lin Zhiyan sighed with relief and glanced at the unconscious Jiang Chen. She realized that this wasn't luck but the result of Jiang Chen's agile movements, and her respect for him grew once more.

"Thank you, you've been a great help!" Lin Zhiyan nodded in gratitude.

The doctor gave another look at Jiang Chen on the bed, then at Lin Zhiyan, and tactfully took his leave.

After the doctor departed, Lin Zhiyan looked at Jiang Chen, who was covered in bandages but wore only underwear, her cheeks slightly flushed. She found a set of Lin Bingrui's clothes and personally dressed Jiang Chen.

Ding-dong!

Just as Lin Zhiyan had finished dressing Jiang Chen, an alert tone from Jiang Chen's phone rang out. She was about to pick up Jiang Chen's phone when a moan sounded at the same time.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Chen's eyes slowly opened.
