"You!" Xiao Ru's eyes bore a glacial chill as she stared at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen spread his hands helplessly, "There's an acupoint there, so you must take it off."
Seeing Xiao Ru still hesitating, Lin Chen continued, "You don't have to take it off, actually, it won't be fatal. But that area will get harder and harder, eventually becoming like a block of ice."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Xiao Ru's pretty face changed slightly, and she bit her lip but still removed the last barrier.
Looking at the exposed patch of whiteness, Lin Chen felt somewhat unsettled.
"Have you had your fill of looking? If so, hurry up and treat me," Xiao Ru glared at Lin Chen and said.
"Oh, well, I've already seen it. A few more or fewer looks won't make much difference," Lin Chen said with a mischievous smile.
"Are you going to heal me or not?" Xiao Ru felt as if her whole body was freezing over.
"Close your eyes," Lin Chen said indifferently.
"Close my eyes?" Xiao Ru looked at Lin Chen suspiciously.
"Relax, it's to help you calm your mind," Lin Chen said helplessly.
After all, having a man touch her lower abdomen would definitely cause some psychological disturbances, so closing her eyes was the only way to minimize that feeling.
Of course, there was another reason Lin Chen wanted Xiao Ru to close her eyes—he didn't want her to see too much of his mysterious abilities.
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Xiao Ru obediently closed her eyes.
Lin Chen's hands gently pressed on Xiao Ru's abdomen, and as he massaged, Xiao Ru felt waves of warmth spreading throughout her body, continuously melting the cold within.
The sensation was like suddenly entering a warm house from the icy, snowy outdoors, making Xiao Ru feel extremely comfortable.
At that moment, the wound Suo Ya had inflicted began to heal at a visible speed.
"Okay, you can get dressed now," Lin Chen said suddenly after about five minutes.
"It healed so quickly?" Xiao Ru looked at her abdomen and was stunned.
The wound had disappeared, not even a mark was left.
Xiao Ru looked at Lin Chen with disbelief on her face, finding the boy in front of her more and more inscrutable.
"Little, breast, do you feel like you have fallen for my irresistible charm? Are you seducing me with that stark, affectionate gaze?"
"Get out of the car and stop looking," Xiao Ru said as she kicked at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen hastily opened the car door and jumped out, "Jeez, you women flip your lid faster than flipping a book! I just healed you and now you turn on me."
Lin Chen muttered to himself as he watched the car door close.
Because two soldiers had died, Xiao Ru called the military, and soon, the military sent people over.
By the time the military personnel arrived to inspect the scene and understand the situation, Lin Chen and Xiao Ru didn't get back to the base until seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
Xiao Ru locked Lin Chen in a detention room and said, "Don't worry Lin Chen, I will do my best to help you."
Lin Chen smiled, "It doesn't matter. The conditions here are quite good, with a bed and blankets. I can get a good night's sleep."
At that moment, Xiao Ru arrived at the captain's office of the guard team, "Captain, I'm back. We ran into some trouble on the road, and we lost two brothers."
Nuba nodded and said, "Good to have you back. Is the man locked up?"
"Yes, Captain, I just carefully reviewed the video footage. It was Yuri who tried to shoot Lin Chen, so Lin Chen had to chop off his hand. Lin Chen's actions should be considered self-defense," Xiao Ru told Nuba.
"Whether it's self-defense or not, Lin Chen is finished. He has offended someone he shouldn't have, and if that person wants him dead, there's nothing I can do," Nuba said coldly.
Upon hearing Nuba's words, Xiao Ru's face suddenly changed. "Captain, even if Lin Chen chopped off Yuri's hand, that's not a crime deserving of death."
Nuba's expression turned icy. "Xiao Ru, I know Lin Chen saved your life today, but this matter is coming from higher up, and neither you nor I can do anything about it. Let this case go and take a good vacation," he said.
Inside a villa in Manshi, Eugene sat in his executive chair, puffing on a cigar with a cold look in his eyes. "How's the situation been handled?" he asked.
A middle-aged man replied respectfully, "Boss, Lin Chen has been arrested by the guard team, and we've already sent the word out. He will be executed on the spot tomorrow at dawn."
"Good, daring to chop off my son's arm; a bullet is letting him off easy," Eugene said proudly, taking a puff of his cigar.
At the Pan family's home, Pan Jing anxiously approached Pan Qiang, "Dad, Lin Chen is a benefactor to our Pan family; you must save him."
Pan Qiang sighed, "Little Jing, it's not that I don't want to save him, it's that the other side has too much power, something our Pan family cannot afford to provoke."
Meanwhile, Xiao Ru hadn't left the guard team. Suddenly, she saw Nuba leading several armed soldiers toward the isolation cell.
"Captain, what are you planning to do?" Xiao Ru hurriedly blocked their way.
Nuba, seeing Xiao Ru, was taken aback, "Didn't I give you a vacation? Why are you still here?"
Xiao Ru, looking at the armed soldiers, immediately realized something, "What are you going to do to Lin Chen?"
A cold light flashed in Nuba's eyes, "According to instructions from above, we are to execute him on the spot."
"What? That's against the rules," Xiao Ru exclaimed angrily.
"Get out of my way!" Nuba said and violently pushed Xiao Ru aside.
A soldier opened the door to the isolation cell, and Nuba, seeing Lin Chen, sneered, "Get up, kid. We're taking you 'home'."
"Lin Chen, don't believe them! They're going to kill you!" Xiao Ru cried out from the side.
Hearing Xiao Ru's words, Nuba's expression turned cold, and he swung his hand towards Xiao Ru's face.
But his hand, barely reaching halfway, was fiercely clamped by another, "I have no respect for a man who hits women."
Nuba's face changed. "How is this possible? Lin Chen was two meters away just now; how did he suddenly get in front of me?"
At this moment, the other guards all raised their guns, aiming at Lin Chen's head.
A slight cold smile appeared on Lin Chen's lips, "What? You want to kill me?"
Nuba stared at Lin Chen with cold eyes, "According to instructions from above, you are a vicious criminal, and we are to carry out your execution right here."
"Nuba, you've got some nerve. Who gave you the authority to execute the deputy leader of the Yi Team? Are you looking to rebel?" At that moment, accompanied by a cold voice, Xu Jiayi, with several Yi Team soldiers, entered.
"What, Yi Team deputy leader?" Hearing Xu Jiayi's words, Nuba's expression changed.
Lin Chen looked at the woman approaching and smiled lightly, "Jiayi, you're too slow. If you'd been a step later, I wouldn't be here."
Xu Jiayi glared at Lin Chen, "Stop playing the victim. These few soldiers couldn't have done anything to you. Had I arrived a minute later, you'd probably have turned this guard team upside down!"
"Yi Team deputy leader?" Hearing about Lin Chen's identity, Xiao Ru was instantly stunned.
