Chapter 206 Assassination
"Who exactly are you? Why would the Special Security Bureau be after you?"
Lin Ruoxue wondered if her husband was some kind of terrorist.
Otherwise, why would he be targeted by the Special Security Bureau, an organization even more powerful than the National Security Bureau?
"What are you thinking about?"
Su Chen could tell what Lin Ruoxue was thinking by looking at her expression, and couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"Don't worry, I'm not some base member, being targeted just because the clown's identity is indeed not ordinary. They are unclear about what the clown is doing in Huaxia and are just a bit uneasy," he explained.
"Really?"
Having never dealt with matters at this level, Lin Ruoxue asked somewhat nervously.
"Really!"
Seeing her still worried, Su Chen added another line,
"Let me put it this way, if the director knew I was here, he'd definitely scurry over to light my cigarette and serve me tea!"
"How about that? Impressive, right? Aren't you starting to admire me?"
Su Chen couldn't be serious for a few minutes and started to fool around again, grinning as he spoke and even giving Lin Ruoxue a wink.
"Pfft!"
Lin Ruoxue was amused by his antics and laughed, her smile blooming like a flower:
"Keep bragging!"
Lin Ruoxue naturally didn't believe Su Chen's words. How could such an important figure light his cigarette and serve him tea?
Just from Su Chen's brief introduction, Lin Ruoxue had already gleaned the level of authority the Special Security Bureau possessed!
It was possible that Su Chen knew someone from there. In her heart, she thought that perhaps Su Chen's identity was indeed not ordinary, but he surely wasn't important enough for such high-level figures to pay their respects to him!
Su Chen smiled and didn't argue, thinking that if there was a chance in the future, he might let that old guy treat him and Lin Ruoxue to a meal, but for now, it was not possible.
"Everything's okay now, right? Then I'm off!"
Seeing that Lin Ruoxue's complexion had returned to normal, no longer icy cold like before, he prepared to leave.
"Hmm, get lost!"
As soon as she spoke, Su Chen hastily turned around to leave.
But just as he took a few steps, an angry voice sounded from behind him!
"You stop right there!"
Lin Ruoxue's shout startled Su Chen enough to immediately halt his steps. Turning around, he looked at her with some confusion:
"Is there something else?"
"Oh, hello there! Su Chen! You've learned to be slippery now, huh?"
Lin Ruoxue tilted her head, looking at him mockingly, as the ice that had just melted off her face began to reform.
"What's the matter exactly?"
Su Chen felt completely baffled by her, like a monk who couldn't touch his own head.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Ruoxue let out a cold laugh,
"Up to now, you still haven't explained why that girl came over this morning, and what exactly did she mean by those words?!"
At this moment, Su Chen had to admire how astute his wife was. After all that talk, she still hadn't forgotten the original issue!
No wonder many people say it's better to have a slightly foolish wife. Having such a sharp one who can't be fooled, he thought, was really...
But those things, Su Chen really didn't know how to explain them to Lin Ruoxue. Thick-skinned as he was, he still felt awkward talking about those matters with his own wife!
"So? You still don't plan to come clean?"
What could Su Chen do? He could only carefully, timidly, and apprehensively share the whole story of how he had teased Du Hanshuang, keeping a nervous watch on Lin Ruoxue's face as he spoke.
Lin Ruoxue listened to Su Chen's narration and finally understood the whole story.
She was completely speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
All she could say was that her husband was really—too despicable!
If she had been that girl, she probably would have fought him desperately too!
"Wife, I was wrong this time, I'm sorry!"
Su Chen lowered his head in front of Lin Ruoxue, probably only Lin Ruoxue could make him admit his wrongs so honestly in this world.
But who let her be his wife?
Of course, Su Chen was not afraid of Lin Ruoxue, but respected her, which is what a man should do.
"Don't do it so casually in the future."
After hearing Su Chen's explanation, most of the anger in Lin Ruoxue's heart had dissipated.
However, the expression on her face did not improve much, Lin Ruoxue thought that she had to teach this guy a lesson.
However, Su Chen had already heard from the tone of Lin Ruoxue that her attitude had softened, and he quickly struck while the iron was hot, saying behind her:
"Wife, let me give you a massage!"
With a cheeky laugh, Su Chen came up behind Lin Ruoxue, his hands resting on her fragrant shoulders.
"No need!"
Lin Ruoxue shrugged her shoulders back and immediately stood up.
This guy, every time she got angry, he would pull this stunt; this time, she definitely could not let him have his way.
Although his massage skills were really good, every time after she was massaged by him, Lin Ruoxue felt refreshed and light all over!
"You can go, I need to continue working!"
Lin Ruoxue said in a calm tone.
"Alright."
Su Chen could only laugh sheepishly, sighing to himself: It seems that the massage trick isn't working that well anymore, I have to research other ways to coax my wife in the future.
Just then, Su Chen suddenly sensed a flash of light, and his entire nervous system tensed up instantly, his pupils shrinking sharply!
"Get down!"
Su Chen pushed Lin Ruoxue down to the ground with one hand, his movements exceedingly swift!
At the same time, a bullet instantly pierced the window glass, flying over Su Chen's head and lodging into the opposite wall.
"Stay down and don't move!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen's figure flashed, and he darted behind the wall, then quickly glanced outside.
He saw a figure with blond hair and blue eyes carrying a case moving swiftly across the rooftop opposite.
Su Chen did not immediately go out to chase because he was not sure if there were other enemies around, and naturally, Lin Ruoxue's safety was the most important.
However, Su Chen's anger had already been completely provoked. His face was as cold as Ice Frost, giving a bone-chilling sensation!
Those people's target was clearly himself. If it were a normal situation, Su Chen would not have been so angry, but they actually attempted an assassination in front of Lin Ruoxue, which was unforgivable!
Lin Ruoxue, seeing Su Chen's stern face, was also taken aback; she had never seen Su Chen like this before!
"Su Chen, what exactly is going on?"
Lin Ruoxue asked timidly, after all, this was the first time she had encountered an assassination attempt, and she was quite stunned!
"It's okay now, that person has already fled!"
Su Chen deliberately showed a slight smile, trying to comfort Lin Ruoxue, to make her less afraid.
But how could Lin Ruoxue not be afraid? That was a bullet!
If she had been just a little bit slower, the consequences... Lin Ruoxue didn't even dare to imagine!
