The Forsaken's Revenge-Chapter 496: Such and Such

Chen Zheng returned home.

His wife, Su Mu, was sitting on the sofa knitting a scarf.

"Chen Zheng, do you like this scarf?" Seeing her husband return, Su Mu smiled and handed him a red scarf.

Chen Zheng glanced at it. "I love it, I absolutely love it! Of course I'd love anything from you, my dear! Heh heh!" He took the scarf and chuckled happily.

But in the next second, his expression changed.

SLAP!

His right palm slammed down on the coffee table.

"Bastard!" he roared, standing up and charging toward the stairs.

BANG!

He burst into the bedroom. He grabbed a chair and smashed it down violently.

CLANG!

The chair shattered.

"Chen Zheng, what are you doing!" Su Mu screamed, running over.

"Ahh—"

Just as she neared the bedroom, a heart-wrenching scream echoed from within.

"Have you gone mad!"

"Chen Zheng!"

"Help!"

Screams of agony! Cries and whimpers!

Trembling, Su Mu rushed inside. On the bed, a woman was lying in a pool of blood.

"Xue!" she shrieked, lunging toward the bed.

Chen Zheng rushed over as well.

BOOM! BOOM!

At that moment, a loud noise erupted from outside. The piercing screech of brakes and the sound of a collision echoed throughout the entire villa.

"AAAAAH—"

A sharp, harrowing scream followed.

Su Mu looked up toward the window. She opened her mouth as if to scream, but her throat felt constricted, and only a hoarse sound escaped.

Chen Zheng picked up the unconscious woman. "Wife! Hang in there!"

"Ah!"

Just then, more startled screams and the crisp sound of shattering glass came from outside the door.

BANG!

Chen Zheng strode out of the bedroom.

"Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen, please spare my life!" a young man in a designer suit and sunglasses cried out, kneeling on the floor.

"Who are you?" Chen Zheng stared at him, his murderous intent surging.

The young man was so terrified he nearly collapsed.

However, the next moment, the young man's expression turned ferocious. He pulled a remote from his jacket and pressed a button. Immediately, a horrifyingly shrill alarm blared from the bedroom.

"Mr. Chen!" the young man laughed maniacally.

"Chen Zheng!"

Inside the bedroom, Su Mu was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. She darted in front of Chen Zheng, stretching out her arms to block him firmly.

"Chen Zheng… I won't let you hurt Xue…" Su Mu sobbed, tears streaming down her face.

"Don't you dare harm my wife!" Chen Zheng snarled at the young man. "I'll cripple you!" Furious, he grabbed the young man by the collar, lifting him up as if to smash him against the wall.

However…

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Eerie sounds echoed as several of the young man's bones snapped, but he was still laughing—a mad, crazed sound, as if he were possessed.

"You dare bully my woman? You're courting death!" A chilling light glinted in Chen Zheng's eyes.

SPURT!

Blood sprayed as a head flew through the air.

"Chen Zheng… you killed someone?" Su Mu cried out, dumbfounded.

"Xue is your daughter, yet you disowned her and even tried to force her into a marriage. What kind of damn father are you!" Chen Zheng's voice was laced with ice. He then glanced at the body on the floor before turning to his wife. "Honey, let's go to the hospital and check on her."

"Okay!" Su Mu wiped away her tears and nodded immediately.

At this moment, she felt as if she had suddenly transformed into another kind of being, one possessing formidable strength. Although she was still an ordinary human, by Chen Zheng's side, she had a very strange feeling, as though she could protect him.

"Chen… Chen Zheng… run!"

"Save…"

"Run!"

Just then, screams suddenly erupted from upstairs.

"Honey, hide here. You'll be safe!" With those words, Chen Zheng blurred into an afterimage and shot out of the room.

WHOOSH!

In the blink of an eye, he reached the second-floor bedroom. A woman was lying on a bed, pale and surrounded by a pool of crimson blood. She was desperately clutching her stomach, moaning in pain, a remote control still in her hand. It was obvious that this remote had just detonated all the surveillance equipment in the bedroom.

"What the hell are you!"

"Kill him!"

"You actually killed Young Master Wang! You deserve to die!"

At that moment, seven or eight people, all young men and women, stormed in from outside the bedroom. One of them, a young man with bleached-yellow hair, pointed at Chen Zheng and snarled.

SWISH!

Before the blond man could finish speaking, Chen Zheng raised his right hand and pointed a finger in the air.

"AHHHH!"

The seven or eight intruders howled in agony as their bodies twisted and instantly exploded.

"Chen… Chen Zheng… you… you killed people… How could this happen…" On the bed, the woman's eyes were wide, all her strength to struggle gone.

"Xue!" Su Mu rushed to the bedside and got a clear look at the woman's face. She knew her. This woman was Chen Zheng's sister, Chen Xue.

"Wife, in this world, anyone other than me who wishes to harm you must pay the price," Chen Zheng said as he stepped forward and pulled Chen Xue into his arms. The ferocity in his eyes faded, replaced by tenderness.

He knew his wife had been wronged. He knew perfectly well that his wife rarely spoke due to her autism, possessing an extremely gentle and kind disposition. If he hadn't returned in time today, she would have already been harmed. Damn them. They truly deserved to die. A thought flashed through his mind, and his gaze turned impossibly cold as he scanned his surroundings. There were high-tech devices in this manor. He could guess that people were secretly monitoring him and his wife. Hmph!

"Husband…" Just then, Chen Xue awoke. She was startled to see Chen Zheng for a moment, but then she quickly burrowed into his embrace.

"Chen Zheng!" Su Mu came over, grabbing his arm and shaking her head.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you," Chen Zheng reassured her. He lifted his right hand and swept it through the air, and all the surveillance equipment in the room was instantly destroyed.

"Husband, I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep," Chen Xue yawned.

"Mhm." Chen Zheng nodded and carried her toward the bed.

"Xue… you…" Su Mu furrowed her brow, wanting to say more but stopping herself.

"Aunt Su, I want to be alone with Chen Zheng for a while," Chen Xue said, looking up with a smile.

"Alright then. Get some rest. Mom will make you breakfast tomorrow morning," Su Mu sighed and left the bedroom.

「In the bedroom.」

"Xue, have your memories returned?" Chen Zheng asked.

"I think I remember now, a lot of things I didn't understand before," Chen Xue nodded with a smile.

"What is your mother's name?" Chen Zheng asked again.

"Her surname is Li, her name is Li Ying, and she loved my father very much. My mother is Li Ying, my name is Chen Xue, and my father is Chen Zheng." Chen Xue giggled, but her gaze toward Chen Zheng grew more and more complex. After a moment, she sighed. "Chen Zheng, you really didn't need to come stay with me. I am Chen Zheng's sister; I'm not a child anymore. I know you must be in danger. You wouldn't have taken such a risk to come to Huaxia unless it was an emergency. I heard from Mom that the Chen Family has run into big trouble recently. Shouldn't you be in Yanjing helping them?"

"Little girl, I am your man," Chen Zheng replied with a faint smile.

"Heh heh!" Chen Xue giggled innocently, wrapping her arms around Chen Zheng's neck and rubbing her cheek against his.

"You…" Chen Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"I thought about it and decided not to tell you the truth just yet," Chen Xue said with a mysterious smile. "When you want to know the truth later, I'll tell you then."

Chen Zheng watched her for a few moments, then nodded slightly. "Fine. Since you choose to keep hiding it, I'll play along."

"Hee hee!" Chen Xue smiled sweetly.

The two embraced in silence.

「One hour later.」

Chen Zheng carried Chen Xue downstairs. Along the way, people pointed and whispered, but he paid them no mind. When their gazes lingered on Chen Xue, he simply lifted his right hand and made a sweeping gesture in their direction.

SWIPE!

In an instant, all the people who had been pointing and gossiping froze in place, unable to move a muscle.

"Miss Chen Xue is so beautiful!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"So lovely! Mr. Chen dotes on this young lady so much!"

"This young lady looks somewhat familiar…"
