Chapter 623: Chapter 595: Lin Yi’s Thoughts

After leaving the residential area, Li Chen didn’t stay any longer and went straight back to the villa.

On the way, he also notified his subordinates to start looking for the Black General with increased urgency.

Moreover, in the orders Li Chen issued this time, the Black General was placed at the top of the priority list.

To Li Chen, the Black General was a massive threat, and if he didn’t find a way to deal with him, he feared uncontrollable consequences might ensue.

In comparison, the threat posed by An Qin seemed much smaller.

At least, in the previous battle, An Qin had not exhibited much hostility.

It seemed that even though An Qin was from Holy Mountain, her threat was much smaller than that of the so-called Black General.

From the Black General, however, Li Chen could feel an intense killing intent.

Moreover, it seemed that the Black General didn’t simply want to kill him; Li Chen could sense that the Black General might have other schemes in mind.

No matter what the Black General’s schemes were, it was clear that Li Chen couldn’t let him succeed.

This man was his true enemy.

At this moment, Li Chen finally understood why An Qin had said previously that she was not the one he was looking for.

But Li Chen didn’t think the Black General would be so easy to find; therefore, he still had to search for An Qin, at the very least, finding her would resolve many of the doubts lingering in his mind.

What exactly was Holy Mountain’s stance towards him?

And who was this Black General?

Li Chen realized that after he had identified his true enemy, instead of having fewer doubts, they had only multiplied.

"You’re back?"

When Li Chen arrived home, he saw Lin Yi lying on the sofa.

"Yeah," Li Chen nodded in response.

"Why so late? Oh right, is Officer Yu’s mother all right?" Lin Yi, noting the weariness in Li Chen’s expression, couldn’t help but ask.

"She’s fine now," Li Chen said with a smile and shook his head: "Could there be any trouble that your husband cannot smooth over?"

"Show-off," Lin Yi rolled her eyes and said.

Li Chen pointed at himself: "I’m not showing off, I’m merely stating a fact."

Then, with a smile, Li Chen looked at Lin Yi: "Even a great beauty like you, my wife, I have fooled into marrying me, and I haven’t gone out to brag about it. What else is there for me to boast about?"

But Lin Yi wasn’t buying Li Chen’s flattery: "Are you complimenting me, or praising yourself?"

"Of course, I’m praising my beautiful wife!" Li Chen said with a surprised look: "Can’t you tell from such an obvious compliment?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lin Yi finally laughed: "That’s more like it. Come, have a seat."

Lin Yi gestured towards the space next to her.

Li Chen looked at Lin Yi curiously, wondering what she was up to.

However, once Li Chen had sat down, Lin Yi stood up and moved behind the sofa.

Immediately, Li Chen felt a pair of soft hands on his shoulders, beginning to gently knead them.

"Wife, what are you..."

Li Chen was moved and asked with a somewhat perplexed expression.

"You must have encountered some issue, right?" Lin Yi’s words made Li Chen fall silent.

Indeed, he had run into a problem—and not a small one.

The Black General had now become the primary antagonist in his mind.

No matter what motive the Black General had for targeting him, the fact remained that he was an enemy.

Moreover, the enemy’s strength was quite formidable.

So formidable, in fact, that even Li Chen felt somewhat daunted.

Although he had strengthened the defenses around Lin Yi, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Wang Qianqian, Li Chen knew that given the Black General’s demonstrated strength that day, these people might not really be of much help.

Aside from himself, no one could stop the Black General.

This was the biggest reason for Li Chen’s headache.

But he was only human, not a god, and he too could feel weary.

And the Black General, hiding in the shadows, could strike at any moment against him or those close to him; it was impossible for him to be by everyone’s side all the time.

What exhausted Li Chen the most was not his body, but his heart.

"Wife, you are so good."

Having spent so much time with Li Chen, Lin Yi had come to understand him somewhat.

This man seemed invincible, as if no problem could ever defeat him.

It was as if he was always full of fighting spirit, and yet he always appeared to be so irresponsible, or perhaps... nonchalant?

Lin Yi did not know how to describe Li Chen.

But she did know that Li Chen was her man, and that was enough for her.

Li Chen did get tired; it’s just that he didn’t let her see it.

When Li Chen had just returned, she had distinctly sensed weariness in his expression, but as soon as he saw her, the fatigue between his brows completely disappeared.

Lin Yi knew that it hadn’t really disappeared; it was just that he didn’t want her to see it.

He was a man who cared about her deeply but never liked to express it.

Even though Li Chen usually spoke in playful, flowery language, Lin Yi was clear that those playful words might actually be true.

It was just that he was not good at expressing himself.

"I know you are a very special man, and there are many things you don’t want me to know. But remember, I am your woman, your wife."

Standing behind Li Chen, Lin Yi said softly, "If you’re too tired, don’t suffer in silence alone. You can tell me, and we can bear it together, okay?"

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Chen’s eyebrows knitted slightly, but they soon smoothed out.

This time, they truly smoothed out.

One could clearly see the trace of weariness on his face.

The Mysterious Energy was not so easy to use; he was indeed very tired.

But these were things he didn’t want Lin Yi to know.

In Li Chen’s heart, there was still some machismo; he felt that there were some things he should take on by himself. As a man, how could he let a woman shoulder these burdens?

But today, he realized that Lin Yi was much more clever than he had imagined.

"Wife."

At that moment, Li Chen seemed to truly understand the meaning of being husband and wife; he extended his hand and gently held one of Lin Yi’s.

Lin Yi did not move either.

Silently, Li Chen stood up and looked at Lin Yi, his eyes filled with adoration.

Initially, he had agreed to this marriage, which seemed like a joke, with a playful heart, but as they spent time together, just like Lin Yi, he found himself gradually falling in love with her.

Their lips met silently.
