Chapter 904: Chapter 594: The Lady May Be Too Perfect (Third Update)

C Province.

"Leader." At this time, Bi’an, also known as Mi Zheng, had already returned to C Province. He left quickly the day after saying ’goodbye’ to Mu Lin.

If it hadn’t been for that thing Mu Lin gave him the day before, he might have left that very day.

However, it was all right; it was just a little weakness for half a day. Unexpectedly, even Mu Lin had such... ordinary things.

"What’s the matter?" Turning around, the Bi’an flower mask reappeared on his face, blood-red like fresh blood, a pair of Ma Liang’s eyes looking indifferently through the mask at the Wu qian standing respectfully before him, yet his gaze remained unfocused.

"There’s news from B City," said Wu qian.

"Where?’s the person?" His face faltered subconsciously before he continued to ask.

"Come in." Wu qian stepped aside, and a man walked out from behind her and entered, "Leader." He said, bowing respectfully.

I didn’t expect to have the chance to come here so soon.

Giving a slight nod, Mi Zheng looked at Wu qian, "You may leave." He wasn’t planning to let Wu qian hear the specific matters, to prevent another incident like Fen Xiao.

Wu qian nodded and withdrew, closing the door behind her.

Although she was indeed curious about Mi Zheng’s affairs in B City, as that period was the strangest time for him, she knew to stick to her role.

"Speak," he said to the visitor, "What message has come from there?" He didn’t expect news so soon.

His little Linlin wouldn’t have gotten into trouble again, would she?

With a smirk, thinking of Mu Lin always involuntarily lifted Mi Zheng’s mood.

"Someone wants to make a move on Miss Mu," the visitor said, looking at Mi Zheng as if waiting for an explanation.

When Mi Zheng left B City for C Province, he had arranged for a few people to watch over any matter related to Mu Lin. The Royal Palace staff from B City were to hand over information to the people from C Province. They were to take care of Mu Lin in his absence and report to him when he returned. In urgent situations, the person arranged by C Province could contact Wu qian through a special channel and then be brought here to him.

The man before him was one of those Mi Zheng had recently promoted.

To his surprise, he hadn’t even departed yet, and already "good" news had come.

Tsk tsk tsk... he had already canceled the mission, yet it seemed Linlin still had so many wolves around her. It was indeed worrying.

"Leader, do we need to take action?" The Leader had ordered before that they could intervene to protect Mu Lin if necessary.

Initially, he was truly shocked. They were openly enemies with Mu Lin, and he could not fathom the Leader’s motives. They had deployed so many people to assassinate her in those years, and now.

Had the Leader given up?

"There’s no need," Mi Zheng scoffed. "They’re just jumping clowns, not even worth getting stuck between her teeth. It’s better we just enjoy the show from the sidelines." They would have a good time when he returned.

As for a certain individual, if they really wished to rush forward to their death, as an old friend for so many years, how could he prevent it? After all, he didn’t really want to see him anymore.

If Linlin could take care of him, it would also be a great thing for him.

"Understood." The visitor took his leave.

Leaning back leisurely, Mi Zheng played with a small object on the table, his deep eyes unfathomable, lips slightly curled in a natural elegance. Just looking at him, who could tell that he was the emperor lurking in the darkness and not just an elegant and handsome young master.

Well... though his face was not visible now.

Mi Zheng: Linlin, by now, you must also be aware of such an "interesting" piece of news, right?

At this moment, Mi Zheng had no idea that it wouldn’t be long before Mu Lin would leave him a quite "nice" present.

Meanwhile.

"You mean to say, kill me?" Mu Lin looked at Jing Chen, her eyebrows raised in mild surprise, "Whom have I offended now?"

Mu Lin truly felt helpless. She never actively provoked anyone, so why did these troubles always find their way to her?

Doesn’t anybody know how lazy she is, how truly loath she is to clean up after them?

Jing Chen shrugged with a smile, "Perhaps the lady is too perfect, so much so that even the Heavens are jealous." He wasn’t even blushing as he said it.

Jing’s cheek has become thicker and thicker, now comparable to a city wall.

Mu Lin glanced at him indifferently and, not wanting to bother with him, continued fidgeting with the thing in her hands. At this moment, the two were in a small cabin in the forest. As for Qiaozi and Yinzai, they had been staying in the Jing family’s back garden, seeming to really enjoy it there, so Mu Lin let them stay. By now, everyone in the military compound knew about the existence of a Himalayan Blue Bear at the Jing residence, and Qiaozi had almost become an indispensable part of the scenery.

Moreover, having someone to play with after Ruirui finished school prevented her from feeling lonely while the elders were taking care of the little ones.

Mu Lin was actually sometimes worried about Gong Rui because the child was so sensible, making her more sensitive than any other child; so...

The king of Black Forest was now practically living like a pet. However, looking at Qiaozi and Yinzai, they seemed quite content.

Indeed, they had someone to "serve" them with delicious food and drink every day.

"Alright, I’m speaking seriously," Jing Chen casually helped Mu Lin tidy up the things beside her and continued, "It seems it’s because of the Ebel incident... so you’ve offended him for the second time." Quite fateful indeed. He hadn’t expected that the person who had joined forces with them this time was actually that person.

Their reach has extended quite far, something he does not appreciate; now, they even dare to target his wife, Jing Chen.

Hehehe... Did they really take him for a dead man? Or did they think no one dared to touch them, or did they assume they were all blind?

"The second time?" Mu Lin raised her eyebrows, "When was the first time?" she had no recollection of it.

"The incident in Ming City," Jing Chen reminded, a helpless smile on his face, knowing this girl had already mostly forgotten, but it’s a pity some people just can’t let it go.

Truly courting death.

"You mean Mo Yinfan." She had completely forgotten that incident, "So, that time was also their doing. What’s the relationship between that person and Mi Zheng?" Mu Lin frowned.

"They likely support each other," Jing Chen guessed. Without backing from above, how could Mi Zheng have risen so quickly in such a vast area of C Province, to the point where even the people beneath him couldn’t handle him? Now it’s too late to suppress him.

Mu Lin nodded, understanding, "What do I need to do?" Lately, Mu Lin had resumed her regular work. Although she couldn’t undertake missions, she could still spend time in the military hospital, as long as she went back home every day.

After that, the young couple would typically arrive and leave together, truly tormenting all the single dogs in the unit.

This life is unbearable.

Pausing, Jing Chen said, "You don’t need to do anything. We just need to go back and forth between home and the unit every day as usual."

"You and me together?" How could that lure those people out, "Are you sure they will appear?"

Jing Chen: "Let them tail us for a while first, and then, on a certain day, when I’m not by your side..." Then, the rest will naturally take its course.

"Madam, please rest assured, I will definitely keep you safe." Sporting a handsome face, he suddenly leaned in close to Mu Lin, leaving only a few millimeters between them, "How does madam plan to thank me?" He was clearly seeking praise like a lovable rascal.

Mu Lin slightly leaned her head back, raising her eyebrows, her expression a mix of amusement and sarcasm, "My lord, protecting your wife, isn’t that what you should do?" And now, asking for a reward too.

Looking at Mu Lin, Jing sighed, "Madam is too stingy."

The smile at the corners of Mu Lin’s mouth carried a teasing mischief.

Jing Chen felt frustrated, "Madam is truly heartless." If she truly used that kind of thing and decided one day not to develop an antidote for him, then he... would likely spend the rest of his life in tears.

His future happiness in life would be utterly spoiled. Jing mourned quietly.

Do they dare to act against her now, not fearing being poisoned by the substance in her hands? Mu Lin thought in disbelief.

She glared at a certain lord, "My lord, you really are not afraid of death." If it were one of those poisons that affected one upon inhalation, their several lives wouldn’t be enough to gamble with here today.

However, Jing remained completely laid back, "Death under a peony flower is a delightful way to go! To die on the same year, same month, and same day as my wife is my greatest dream in this life." Of course, not right now.

He was still looking forward to growing old with the person in his arms... slowly.

What should have been moving words felt unavoidably frustrating coming from Jing Chen at this moment.

They really dare not make a move, okay!

Not wanting to bother with him, Mu Lin stood up from Jing Chen’s embrace and began clearing the things on the ground.

Really... a waste of the good stuff she had finally acquired.

Hmm... I wonder if it can still be used after being swept up.
