Chapter 540: Chapter 540: You Can’t Help Him
“I didn’t have a chance to be alone with you, so I had to knock her out. But I assure you I had no intention of hurting her; it was just to make her sleep for a while,” said Rui Hui.
Rui Hui’s medical license was earned purely through her skill, and she was always very careful when it came to medications.
She wouldn’t harm anyone without reason.
“Jiang Jinchen even threw a tantrum over this. He demolished the safe house, so I had to move here.”
Seeing Qin Youxuan not responding, Rui Hui continued to explain, “I guess Jie lets me live here because he wants someone to protect you. I have never seen him cherish a woman so much.”
Qin Youxuan listened, at a loss for words.
She had really misunderstood Dan Hanjie…
“Do you know where he went today?” Qin Youxuan suddenly asked.
Rui Hui hesitated for a few seconds before she replied hesitantly, “Why are you asking? You can’t help him. Even if you know, it won’t make a difference.”
Rui Hui’s words were simple and straightforward.
She just told the truth.
But it made Qin Youxuan feel inexplicably sad.
Everyone knew that she couldn’t help Dan Hanjie.
Being with him, she would always be a hindrance…
“Don’t overthink it. The greatest power of a woman is not to defeat a man, but to captivate a man’s heart. A powerful man, once his heart is linked to you, is like having an army at your disposal. Why bother lifting a finger yourself, huh?”
Rui Hui chuckled bitterly, a hollow smile on her lips, “In this regard, you are far stronger than I am. I was struck out before I even started.”
Qin Youxuan looked at her bitter smile, suddenly at a loss for comforting words.
What’s more, she felt that Rui Hui didn’t need comfort at all.
She had held it in for too long and just wanted someone to talk to.
“I want to practice shooting. Can you teach me?” Qin Youxuan bit her lip and asked solemnly.
Her bright cat-like eyes looked at Rui Hui, “Jie mentioned that you’re very skilled. If I want to learn from you, would you be willing to teach me?”
“Why?” Rui Hui paused and her gaze sharpened, seemingly trying to see through her heart.
After a moment, she hooked her lips and asked, “Because of Jie?”
“Yes, I don’t want to be a burden to him.”
Rui Hui stated with certainty.
No man wants his woman to become an invincible fighter; it would make him feel useless.
Moreover, training is a tough process. Dan Hanjie won’t want Qin Youxuan to endure hardship.
“That’s why I came to you.” Qin Youxuan’s eyes were firm, with a hint of stubbornness.
Rui Hui paused, then quickly understood, “You want me to help you hide this from Jie? You’re quite different.”
Qin Youxuan closed her laptop and stared at her earnestly.
She could feel that Rui Hui was a very straightforward person. They would definitely get along well.
Rui Hui remained silent, finishing her coffee in one gulp. Her tongue seductively swiped over her lips as if she was tasting something she had never tasted before.
After a while, she gave a faint smile, “From now on, you can pray for me. Pray that when Jie finds out, he won’t kill me.”
The suburb shrouded in a serene darkness.
The barely audible footsteps were moving quickly, converging on an open field.
“Mr. Jie, we’ve checked. The first post is five hundred meters ahead. Once we take it down, we can proceed.” Yao, dressed in black, stood close to Dan Hanjie and whispered his report.
