Chapter 341: Chapter 249: Drawing Closer to the Heart (Second Update) _1

"Hmm."

On the other side that Mu Lin couldn’t see, Jing Chen’s eyes were deep and solemn, his aura was sombre. The sight sent a shudder down the spine of every member of Ying Sun nearby.

What was wrong with the boss? Since calling his sister-in-law, his usually calm expression had begun to chill bit by bit, revealing an unmasked danger that caused a deep freeze for everyone around him.

The boss in full throttle was not something they could handle.

What information was being relayed through the phone? Could something have happened to his sister-in-law? But, if something had happened to her, they wouldn’t believe that the boss would sit still for a second, he would have rushed out by now.

His mission or anything else, none of it was as important as his sister-in-law to him. Besides, they were available for the mission.

"Linlin." Mu Lin stopped speaking when she heard Jing Chen’s response, and was about to end the call. But then, she heard Jing Chen’s voice resounding in her ear, sounding stern and serious.

"Hmm," said Mu Lin, responding calmly. It was her first time hearing Jing Chen’s voice so serious when calling her name. "Is there anything else?" She pondered to herself. The Green Scorpion should be leaving soon, shouldn’t he focus on him?

After a bit of time had passed, finally.

"Linlin from now on, I’ll take care of everything," he asserted. He would not permit anyone to harm her even slightly. As for the SkyNet Organization, he would make sure to root it out as soon as possible and take revenge for her.

Everything will be taken care of by me.

Upon hearing these words, Mu Lin paused for a moment before understanding what Jing Chen meant with his statement.

He must have heard what the Green Scorpion said earlier; was he worried about her? This feeling wasn’t bad, she thought. In fact, she seemed to like it.

A soft warmth filled her heart.

Somehow, a smile crept up onto Mu Lin’s lips. Her eyes even lit up with a glint of mirth. "Are you really not afraid of me?" she asked, referring to when she had mercilessly beaten the Green Scorpion earlier.

Their phone line had been open the entire time. That was why when Jing Chen suddenly said that the Green Scorpion still had his uses, Mu Lin had decided to spare him. Otherwise, he would likely have ended up crippling him if not killing him.

Most people would naturally be fearful if they saw her terrifying power, and would try to keep as much distance as they could, wouldn’t they? She thought. Those people watching their confrontation, like Ren Laifeng, must have worse expressions than if they’d swallowed flies.

However, she didn’t care.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Jing Chen chuckled. Yet, the laughter carried a frigid, predatory undertone, which Mu Lin could faintly detect.

"I understand," Mu Lin smiled softly. "Be careful." After saying this, she hung up the call.

Although it was just a low chuckle, Mu Lin felt as if she could hear Jing Chen’s heartbeat. Was he trying to tell her that he too was not a good person? How interesting... Their relationship was truly unique.

Staring blankly at the disconnected call, Jing Chen’s tense aura gradually relaxed. He smirked slightly with a raised eyebrow. At this moment, his joy was as palpable as the flowering of spring after a bitter winter.

This was the first time Linlin had so unhesitatingly expressed her concern for him.

Mu Lin: It was just three casually uttered words for her.

However, the members of Ying Sun were already used to their boss’s sudden mood changes.

As long as it involved their sister-in-law, the boss was never just the boss. Even though he used to be cold all the time, now he couldn’t be compared to his previous self unless faced with some unforeseen circumstances. Like just now.

What on earth had happened?

...

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, casting a soft glow of the sunset, as if reborn.

The radiant light filtered in through the window onto a young girl’s face. Her complexion was pure and fresh, her eyes still had traces of dried tears.

The man, however, was still staring at the girl with eyes wide open. His gaze was serene, with a tinge of adoration at the bottom.

He didn’t want to let go anymore.

For Black Scorpion, there had never been anything or anyone in this world that held his attention. He thought that this would change after today.

Compared to himself, in the eyes of Black Scorpion, Yang Hao was the purest person in the world, while he was filthy and dark; his hands had long been stained with blood, even holding the body of his subordinate seemed like a desecration.

But now, a connection had been formed between them.

Black Scorpion knew that from now on, he had someone he wanted to protect and guard.

Thinking this way, his arm subconsciously tightened.

Her petite eyebrows twitched slightly, and she slowly opened those clear and beautiful eyes; but the next moment, her attention was drawn away by the large hand around her waist, which also made Yang Hao remember everything that happened before.

They...

But discovered... She looked shocked at the handsome face before her, which was so close, and her face turned crimson in the next moment, her eyes wide, "Why are you..."Why are you, still here.

"Don’t move." A low voice rang in Yang Hao’s ear, "I just want to stay with you a little longer." A blatant flirtatious remark, yet when spoken by Black Scorpion’s stern face, it seemed quite serious.

Well, after all, he was telling the truth.

Her eyebrows knitted together, Yang Hao was unsure how to deal with the man in front of her. Clearly, her most direct response should have been to slap him, but she found that she couldn’t move at all, struggling to free herself from the man’s grip.

Whimper... What was she doing?

Seeing the person softly landing on the ground, Black Scorpion became anxious and jumped down from the bed without a second thought, "Are you okay?"

Yang Hao glanced sideways, but upon seeing the scene in front of her, her face turned a deep red, "You don’t need to care." She closed her eyes tightly, not willing to open them, completely unaware that she, like the man in front of her, was naked.

How embarrassing.

Seeing the adorable reaction of the girl in front of him, Black Scorpion chuckled, "Where do you want to go? I’ll carry you."

"I can go by myself." She snorted coldly and turned her head away. She didn’t need him to carry her.

"Are you sure you can stand up?" Black Scorpion raised an eyebrow and continued, "Though I’m not very eager to remind you, but you are currently..."

What is he saying?

Yang Hao frowned and hurriedly opened her eyes, only then did she realize...

With a "smack," Black Scorpion’s face was greeted with a light slap. Although it didn’t hurt him at all.

Her strength is too weak, even for slapping a mosquito.

Yang Hao had no idea that her first slap in someone’s face had been dismissed as too weak.

However, once the slap was over, Yang Hao began to worry. It was clear that the man in front of her was not easy to mess with. He wouldn’t, take action against her, would he? She wouldn’t be able to beat him.

Pity her worries were unnecessary. To Black Scorpion, although he had never been slapped by a woman like this, he thought Yang Hao had shown him mercy, considering his huge mistake.

With a resigned smile, he easily lifted Yang Hao into the air with no effort, Yang Hao exclaimed subconsciously, "What are you doing?" He wouldn’t throw her out, would he? She wasn’t dressed yet.

It seemed that she still remembered her current state.

"You must want to take a bath." Other than this, he really couldn’t think of anything else. "You’re powerless right now. Let me help."

It seemed that she protected herself greatly, unlike many women in today’s society.

Whether it was her body or mind, she was so pure.

But he had taken possession of her, which made Black Scorpion unsure how to deal with the girl in front of him. If he let go, to be honest, he didn’t want to.

"Pervert." With a lovely face, Yang Hao didn’t know that her appearance could easily tempt a man into becoming a big, bad wolf. And considering Black Scorpion had been poisoned before, perhaps he had once again transformed into a wolf.

For now, he would let her off the hook.

In fact, she didn’t blame him; because neither of them were willing participants. Because back then, he had warned her out loud. If she really wanted to blame someone, she could only blame herself... for being a busybody.
