Chapter 347: Chapter 324 Visitor from the Palace of the Nether King

Back at the villa, Li Chen told Lin Yi to take a shower and rest, then he went to his own room, opened his laptop, and logged into the chatroom.

As soon as the chatroom’s video started, Alice’s face appeared. She hadn’t finished speaking when she was shocked by Li Chen’s appearance.

"King of the Netherworld, what happened to you?"

"Alice, notify Army Breaker and have him send some people over. I need to clean up Linchuan," Li Chen said indifferently, but there was a distinct chill in his words!

He didn’t know who was responsible, but destroying half of the Lin Corporation Building would definitely require explosives, and such powerful explosives could only be obtained through abnormal means.

That is to say, the enemy must have gone through Linchuan’s underworld market to get those explosives. If he started directly from Linchuan, he was bound to uncover some information!

Alice was stunned on the other end; Li Chen hadn’t mentioned deploying people in Huaxia before—did he change his mind?

"Alright, I’ll notify Army Breaker right away," Alice said.

"Have them set off immediately. I hope to see them tonight," Li Chen said.

"Rest assured, my master," Alice said with a slight smile.

After the video ended, Li Chen put away his laptop with a calm expression. Yet, deep in his eyes, a suppressed fury smoldered.

You schemed against me, wait until I drag you out!

He stepped out of his room, and at that moment, Lin Yi also came out.

"Are you okay?" Lin Yi asked softly.

"I’m fine," Li Chen said with a faint smile.

However, Lin Yi sighed softly, "Brother Cheen, although I don’t know who they are or why they did it, it hurts to see you shouldering this alone. I don’t know if there’s a way for me to ease your worries, but I hope you’re not so tired."

Li Chen was shaken. Looking into Lin Yi’s eyes, he instantly knew that she had come to understand him quite well and was also very smart!

She had never mentioned it before, and now, Lin Yi was also feeling terrible. The Lin Corporation Building was her effort and passion, now destroyed. What’s more, a series of troubles awaited, including police investigations, consolations for her employees, and compensations for those who had died. Perhaps Lin’s Group was on the brink of collapse.

Lin Yi could foresee the aftermath, but like Li Chen, she remained composed!

Li Chen also knew Lin Yi’s ambition—to build a top-notch, world-class company. But the sudden explosion could very well shatter that dream.

"Brother Cheen, you’re so dirty, let me join you and help wash," Lin Yi said softly, then took Li Chen to the bathroom.

Seeing the blurred flesh and blood on Li Chen’s back, Lin Yi’s eyes unconsciously grew moist, and her hands were gentle as she cleaned his wounds.

She gently wiped off the bloodstains with a towel, revealing the deep scars on his back.

Lin Yi did not speak, neither did Li Chen.

The two were silent, each quietly going about their business—Lin Yi carefully cleaning Li Chen’s body, clearing away all the blood from the wounds.

But Li Chen didn’t feel much towards these injuries. He had suffered much worse in the past, too many times to count. The most serious included one time in tropical jungles facing two top squad assassins while poisoned; still, he managed to kill all of them and force the poison out.

The second time was in the Arctic Circle, on a mission where he fell into a trap and was seriously injured, with the ice floe he was on splitting apart and melting. He somehow survived ninety-six hours in the frigid Arctic Ocean.

The third was in the desert, enduring a month-long standoff with some of the world’s top marksmen, nearly out of food, until Li Chen managed to kill them, despite being shot.

In short, he had endured far graver injuries; to him, these were merely superficial.

But to Lin Yi, they were heart-wrenchingly painful.

"I’ll get some medicine for you," Lin Yi said softly, but as she was about to stand up, Li Chen grabbed her.

Lin Yi looked at Li Chen, and he gave her a slight smile, "No need for medicine, just stay with me."

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, then hummed softly before sitting back down.

Gently caressing Lin Yi, Li Chen softly said, "Come into the tub."

Lin Yi stepped into the tub and continued to wash Li Chen’s back.

After finishing with his back, Lin Yi came to stand in front, their eyes locking comfortably. It didn’t feel awkward. Lin Yi naturally took Li Chen’s right hand and started to clean the wounds.

Watching Lin Yi earnestly cleaning his wounds, Li Chen was somewhat enlightened. Is this what marriage was like?

Unknowingly, another person’s presence becomes intertwined in one’s life, not suddenly, but silently, and before you realize it, it becomes habitual.

Marriage and love are different. Love is like fire, fierce and clear in its affection and hatred, but marriage is like water, gentle and binding, uniting two into one.

Is this the feeling?

Li Chen watched Lin Yi, her character as soft as water, as tender as her actions at the moment.

...

At night, Lin Yi had fallen asleep, but Li Chen opened his eyes.

He quietly got out of bed, dressed, and stepped outside the villa.

Standing outside the villa, the surroundings were eerily quiet, with no one in sight. Li Chen spoke softly, "Come out."

In an instant, the previously empty surroundings came alive with several figures. Shadows flashed and people appeared before Li Chen.

Before Li Chen stood four individuals—on the left was Nether Wolf, his presence seemingly chilling the air around him, and the deadly aura and sinister look in his eyes marked him as someone not to be trifled with.
