Chapter 422: The Old Master's Shock
The elder Lin's eyes were glued to the newspaper and he couldn't look away, disbelief written all over his face!
It was as if he had seen a ghost, his whole body trembling!
Because on the front page of the newspaper was a striking headline—"Jianghai Police Department, in coordination with the Jianghai Administration for Industry and Commerce, launch a thunderous operation against Liu Corporation!"
The elder hurriedly stopped in his tracks, took the newspaper in his hands, and carefully read every single word.
The article stated that due to tax evasion and unfair business competition practices over many years of operation, the Jianghai Police Department, in joint action with the Jianghai Administration for Industry and Commerce, had initiated an investigation into Liu Corporation.
At present, several members of the Liu Family implicated in the case have been arrested, and the relevant authorities are still in the process of further investigation!
Of course, there were other intriguing details in the article that suggested this operation was out of the ordinary!
It took a good ten minutes for the elder Lin to finish reading the article, and afterwards, he was utterly dazed!
Just yesterday, his son-in-law had killed the Liu father and son, and promptly, the authorities made a forceful move against the Liu Family.
To say there was no connection between the two events, probably not even a fool would believe it!
But how could his son-in-law have such immense power?!
It could be said that the content on this newspaper was even more shocking to him than Su Chen's night attack on the Liu family's old house yesterday, murdering the Liu father and son!
As the head of the Lin Family, he knew too well how much power it took to pull off such a feat!
And to do it in such a short time, with such a rapid and overwhelming force!
After a long while, the elder Lin couldn't help but sigh:
Su Chen, who exactly are you?!
However, the elder didn't believe the crimes listed in the newspaper were baseless; after all, how could a corporation as large as Liu Corporation not have any irregularities?
He believed that as the investigation went deeper, there would surely be even more shocking scandals revealed!
Often, it was just that nobody had lifted the lid, and once uncovered, no one knew what kind of filth would be revealed.
Regardless, one thing was certain—the Liu Family was finished and would never have a chance to turn things around!
The once glorious Liu Family, one of the four great family heads, would from now on become just a fleeting cloud...
At this point, the elder Lin no longer needed to visit those connections anymore. He sat back down in his chair, lost in a whirl of thoughts...
.....
Although Lin Wenlong and his son had been expelled from the Lin Family with broken limbs and the Liu father and son had paid their dues, Lin Ruoxue still hadn't woken up...
Su Chen was almost always at the hospital, keeping vigil beside Lin Ruoxue, and even though Zhang Xinlan was already well enough to be discharged, there was still no sign of Lin Ruoxue waking up.
Like this, another three days passed, and during these days, Su Chen hardly left the hospital, hoping that Lin Ruoxue would see him as soon as she opened her eyes!
Not to mention others, even Lin Wenqing and Zhang Xinlan were worried that Su Chen was wearing himself out. They urged him several times to go home and rest, but he always refused with a smile, instead advising them to go back.
Seeing Su Chen this way, they felt both heartache and relief. With their daughter in the hands of such a man, they had nothing to worry about!
During these days, Su Chen's beard had grown very long, and without bathing, he looked several years older than he was.
But in this situation, he had no mind for anything else, knowing that the longer it dragged on, the less likely it was that Ruoxue would wake up!
It was only now that he truly realized what place Lin Ruoxue occupied in his heart!
Heaven have mercy, Lin Ruoxue finally woke up in the deep of the night.
The instant Lin Ruoxue opened her eyes, Su Chen suddenly felt as if the day had dawned. He excitedly waved his fists and then, in thrilled, grabbed Lin Ruoxue in his arms!
"Husband, you smell so bad!"
In Su Chen's moment of overwhelming excitement, Lin Ruoxue murmured.
Su Chen immediately let go of Lin Ruoxue, picked up his own collar and sniffed it:
"It does seem rather smelly."
Su Chen grinned, his happiness shining through like a child's.
"What an idiot!"
Lin Ruoxue gave him a disdainful glance as she spoke.
"An idiot I may be, as long as my wife you've woken up, that's all that matters!"
What did it matter if he was a fool in front of his own wife?
"Husband, weren't you on a trip in Sanya? How come you're back?"
Lin Ruoxue asked with a baffled face:
"And how come I'm here?"
"Wife, do you not remember anything?" Su Chen asked.
Lin Ruoxue still looked confused as she shook her head.
"Husband, what on earth happened? Tell me!"
Lin Ruoxue instinctively sensed that something significant had transpired.
Su Chen looked into Lin Ruoxue's watery eyes and then recounted what had happened.
Of course, he omitted the part about the Liu Family, because if Lin Ruoxue were to find out, she would naturally associate the recent events involving the Liu Family with herself.
Then she might start doubting her own identity again, so Su Chen simply said it was Lin Wenlong and his son's doing.
After hearing what Su Chen had said, Lin Ruoxue's expression couldn't help but cloud over, and she sighed:
"Why would a family go this far? If they really insist on it that much, I'd give it to them!"
Lin Ruoxue wanted the Belle Corporation not for its vast wealth but merely as a platform to demonstrate her value and fulfill her own wishes; she didn't care much for such massive wealth since she had plenty of money that she could never spend in a lifetime—what was the use of having so much?
"Alright, you've just woken up, try not to be too emotional, and rest well!"
Su Chen tucked Lin Ruoxue under the blankets as he spoke.
"It's okay, husband. Why don't you go take a shower, shave, and then get some sleep?"
Lin Ruoxue said with concern, noticing his grimy and somewhat haggard appearance.
"It's fine. I'll go back after Mom and Dad come tomorrow morning."
How could Su Chen leave her here alone at a time like this?
Seeing that he was determined to stay, Lin Ruoxue let it be. Su Chen then called in a takeout order—bringing a bowl of porridge—which he guessed Lin Ruoxue must have been craving.

Afterward, the two chatted casually. Once she had finished the porridge, Su Chen insisted she rest, knowing that she had just regained consciousness and couldn't be in the best of spirits—it would take at least a few days to recuperate.
Early the next day, Lin Wenqing and his wife arrived, and upon seeing Lin Ruoxue awake, the two elderly people burst into tears...
Lin Ruoxue and Su Chen hurried to comfort them. After a while, the couple gradually calmed down.
"Husband, now that Mom and Dad are here, you really should go take a bath, brush your teeth, and get some sleep."
Lin Ruoxue urged Su Chen.
"What, are you sick of your husband already?"
Su Chen teased her.
"I am not!"
Lin Ruoxue's face blushed slightly as she retorted...
