Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

Chapter 403 403

"Who exactly sabotaged me?!"

The old crone roared in anger, for she knew she wouldn't have become like this without a reason.

Illnesses caused by spoiled food or common diseases simply did not exist for her.

Suddenly, she thought of the filthy, lecherous old man she had encountered at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, since she hadn't had any contact with anyone else during her journey.

The only contact had been with that old man, but he didn't have any True Yuan fluctuations on him, did he?!

Could it be that the old man was a hidden master?

If he really was, why would he want to stop her? She had nothing to do with him at all!

Although her mind was full of doubts, the most important thing for the old crone at the moment was still the spirit insect.

She forced herself to muster up some energy, ready to set off again, but fell into the bushes once more.

Even worse, she felt that her blood and energy were somewhat disordered, as if they were churning. The pain just now seemed to have been caused by this.

This kind of situation usually occured with a severe internal injury, yet she hadn't exchanged blows with anyone and had sustained such serious internal injuries, which shocked her!

Although the old crone really wanted to go south to see what exactly had happened to the spirit insect, it was too dangerous for her in her current state.

Because if she encountered even a slightly powerful expert, she would likely be done for.

Now she had only one choice, and that was to rush back for healing immediately, for she had many enemies and only within the stronghold would she be safest.

As important as the spirit insect was, it surely wasn't as important as her own life!

But she was also somewhat reluctant; after all, such a rare spirit insect had crossed her path, and she had stumbled upon a Supreme Yin Body to nurture it with.

Both were chance encounters that were sought but could hardly be found, and yet she had encountered both, having waited for this moment for more than twenty years!

This spirit insect was related to the grand scheme she had been plotting; she had wanted to go and see what had happened that caused it to awaken prematurely, to kill the person who disturbed her spirit insect on the way, and then retrieve it!

But the current situation no longer allowed her to do so, which filled her with intense irritation!

Just then, she abruptly felt the spirit insect cease moving, as if it had re-entered hibernation.

"What's going on?"

A profound expression of doubt suddenly surfaced on the old crone's craggy face.

Suddenly, her eyes fiercely sparkled with intense light!

"Could it be a second nurturing?!"

The old crone muttered in disbelief,

"Indeed worthy of being an exceptional spirit insect, it can actually undergo a second nurturing?!"

Since she felt the spirit insect had re-entered hibernation, she was not in a hurry to retrieve it; moreover, with her blood and energy in turmoil, she had to seclude herself for a period of time for healing.

"She hasn't woken up yet, why hasn't she woken up?"

Lin Wenqing immediately became anxious again.

Meanwhile, in the crowd, Lin Wenlong and his son heard that Lin Ruoxue was still unconscious and instantly, both of their eyes shot out a sharp gleam!

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, it could be that her body hasn't recovered yet, but don't worry, Ruoxue is no longer in danger now."

Su Chen said truthfully.

"That's good, that's good."

Upon hearing that his daughter was no longer in mortal danger, Lin Wenqing felt significantly more at ease.

As for the coma, they could simply wait longer if needed. The current situation had already surpassed his expectations, what more could he ask for?

"Alright, I'm not at ease with you looking like this, I'll have someone send you back to rest."

After all, as his son-in-law, Lin Wenqing was genuinely concerned.

"I'm free right now, I'll do the favor."

At that moment, Xia Qiuru came over and said.

"That would be great, then I'll trouble you, Qiuru."

Lin Wenqing knew Xia Qiuru and so he nodded in agreement; Su Chen had no objections either.

"No trouble at all, Uncle Lin."

Xia Qiuru said with a slight smile.

"Gu Ming, you stay on guard here, aside from the old master and Ruoxue's parents, no one else is allowed to approach Ruoxue, including the doctors and nurses."

Before leaving, Su Chen instructed Gu Ming:

"As before, if anyone tries to force their way in, show no mercy and kill them without hesitation!"

For Lin Ruoxue's safety, Su Chen had to make sure that everything was foolproof. Before, when Su Chen had been on his way, he had no choice but to allow the doctors to tend to Lin Ruoxue.

But now that he was back, they no longer needed those doctors. He couldn't entirely trust the doctors and nurses either; what if one of them had been bribed?

"Yes!"

Gu Ming immediately answered.

The Lin family members present were shocked upon hearing Su Chen give such a direct order. What kind of confidence did this man have to actually kill someone?

Lin Wenlong and his son felt their hearts jolt and found themselves even more unable to see through the husband of Lin Ruoxue.

Su Chen then coldly swept his gaze over the people of the Lin family:

"Although you are all Ruoxue's relatives, for Ruoxue's safety, I must make this arrangement. If anyone insists on trying, don't blame me for not warning you when you lose your life!"

To tell the truth, the people of the Lin family were those whom Su Chen trusted the least, as they had the most motive!

Family affection? What's that worth in the face of interests?
