d out of thin air.
Her short blade got blocked horizontally.

Tengu laughed coldly as he gathered strength to push Hannya away forcefully.
Suddenly, his entire body shocked, his knees couldn’t make him stand anymore, making him kneel on the ground!

Puff! Tengu vomited a mouthful of fresh blood as he screamed in agony before falling onto the ground.

Tanuki let out the same cunning smile as he stepped on Tengu’s chest.
“Tengu, you got so happy when you got God’s Stone, that you didn’t even notice I poisoned you.
Hahah!”

Tengu buzzed and wanted to say something.
As the scene when Tanuki tapped on his shoulder replayed, he suddenly got pissed before vomiting blood again.

“Hehe, Hannya, your poison is really effective.
This dog is indeed dumb.
His body is strong like a cow, I didn’t expect him to fall this soon,” Tanuki said in contempt.

Holding onto her cold expression, Hannya bent down and grabbed God’s Stone from Tengu’s hand relaxedly.
“Tengu, you betrayed Leader’s order.
Even if you were the one who got the stone first, you’d still be the organization’s betrayer.
Tanuki and I will help you pass it to Leader.”

“That’s right, that’s right.
Should we bring you as we leave China? Or should you be buried here?” Tanuki said.
Rubbing his hand, he turned to Hannya and said smilingly, “Miss Hannya, can you let me take a look at God’s Stone?”

Hannya looked at him with a death stare before tossing God’s Stone to Tanuki.

“You’re indeed Leader’s daughter.
You’re not petty like him,” Tanuki commended happily.
As he played with God’s Stone, greed could be seen in his eyes.

Hannya said coldly, “Tanuki, you better not do anything funny.
Except Leader, no one else knows how to use God’s Stone.”

“I know, I know…” Tanuki said with a smile.
“Miss Hannya, I just can’t wait anymore.
I hope to transform into a god… Hehe…”

In the completely silent forest, there echoed Tanuki’s evil laughter.

On the other hand, Yang Chen arrived at the police station in the west.

Since it wasn’t Yang Chen’s first time here, the officers here knew that this man seemed to be related to the police chief.
No one went forward to stop Yang Chen from entering.

Entering the huge office within, Yang Chen immediately saw Lin Ruoxi and Wang Ma.
The two were sitting beside a huge office table, making legal recordings together.

Since the two people got completely drenched, they changed into simple clothing and wore a police coat on the outside.

However, Lin Ruoxi’s hair hadn’t dried yet, it was dripping water.
Due to coldness, her lips turned pale while she looked sluggish.

Being a close friend and the police chief, Cai Yan had been beside them from the start, looking worried.
Seeing Yang Chen walk into the office, her expression turned slightly cheerful.
“Yang Chen, you’re here.”

Wang Ma turned around and called out, “Young Master,” as soon as she saw Yang Chen.
She didn’t look too good as she had to go through such a terrible experience at an old age.

Lin Ruoxi seemed like she heard nothing.
She just silently sat there.

“Sorry that I came late.
You guys must’ve suffered,” Yang Chen said.
Seeing the two who looked gloomy, his heart ached as he felt remorse.

Lin Ruoxi raised her head and looked at Yang Chen in trance.
A vague smile suddenly appeared on her face.
“We don’t even know how we got kidnapped and how to returned.
What different does it make if you reached earlier? You’d just be destined to get kidnapped with us.”

Initially, Yang Chen was mentally prepared to get a scolding from Lin Ruoxi or get a cold treatment from her.
However, not only did none of them happen, Lin Ruoxi didn’t want Yang Chen to be bothered, making Yang Chen feel surprised.

If I was at home, you guys won’t ever get caught, he thought.
However, he didn’t want to say it out.

“Ruoxi, I promise it won’t happen again.
I will properly protect you all,” Yang Chen said seriously.

Lin Ruoxi lightly shook her head.
“Yang Chen, you don’t need to do this.
Although you often get on my nerves, I’m not an unreasonable woman.
This didn’t happen because of you.
I don’t blame you for passing your night outside.
Before we got married, I said that you’d have your freedom.
Us getting kidnapped has nothing to do with you.
You can go back to work.”

“Yeah, Young Master, Miss and I don’t blame you at all.
Those bad guys must’ve come to our house for money.
If you were at home, it’d be more dangerous,” Wang Ma said.
She didn’t want Yang Chen to blame himself either.

Lin Ruoxi was an exceptional businesswoman.
Though she got kidnapped and almost drowned, both of which happened for unknown reasons, she could still look at the situation clearly and rationally.

Sigh. Yang Chen could feel what the intentions of the two were.
Wang Ma had always been on his side, but even the usually cold Lin Ruoxi asked him to not get upset.
Yang Chen only felt a heart-tearing pain on his chest.

Maybe she doesn’t like me, but she does care about my feelings.
I can’t tell them that the true reason they got kidnapped.
It was all because the thing in my hands!

Cai Yan who had been silently standing aside walked towards Yang Chen as she felt grief.
She said, “Before you came, we collected the information we needed.
Ruoxi and Wang Ma must be tired now, you may send them home.”

Yang Chen nodded and went forward to support Wang Ma stand up before turning to Lin Ruoxi, saying, “Ruoxi, let’s go home.”

“Yes…” Lin Ruoxi stood up and followed Yang Chen for a few steps before stopping.
Turning around, she said, “Yanyan, we’ll attend the dinner next week.”

“You guys?” Cai Yan asked in shock.
She then looked at Yang Chen who looked confused.

Yang Chen asked, “What dinner?”

“I’ll tell you when we get home.
Let’s go,” Lin Ruoxi said.
After saying goodbye to Cai Yan, she turned around and left the office.
