My Ares Son-in-Law

When Zhou Keying saw Xiao Chen enter, the last bit of fear in her heart finally vanished.

Yun Yuyan is her sister and can offer her comfort, but that's not enough.

Only Xiao Chen could give her a sense of security; only when Xiao Chen was by her side did she feel that nothing else would happen.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Xiao Chen could tell from the situation that Zhou Keying must have dreamt about what happened before while she was asleep, which scared her awake.

"Hmm!" Yun Yuyan nodded. "He was trembling just now, but he's much better now that you're here. Poor thing! Those two really deserve to die!"

"Don't worry, they've already gotten their comeuppance!" Xiao Chen said calmly.

The people from the War God Alliance have just reported to him that Liu Yanqiu and Huang Dabao's lives are over, and they will only spend the rest of their lives in endless pain.

"I thought...I thought I was going to die..."

Zhou Keying gripped Yun Yuyan's hand, tears welling in her eyes. "That woman... she held a knife to my face, saying she was going to disfigure me... that knife was so cold... I was so scared..."

"I know. I know everything." Xiao Chen sighed. He was still a little late; otherwise, Zhou Keying wouldn't have been so shocked.

It's all his fault for eating a few extra bites of rice back then, and also for not expecting that Huang Dabao and his wife were such scoundrels. Luckily, it wasn't too late, or he would have regretted it to death.

“I called your name so many times, but you weren’t there… I thought you wouldn’t come back… I thought I would never see you again…” Zhou Keying’s voice began to tremble again, sounding as aggrieved as a bullied child.

"It's all alright now. You're safe!" Yun Yuyan patted Zhou Keying's back to comfort her. "Xiao Chen rescued you."

Zhou Keying looked up at Xiao Chen through teary eyes. Suddenly, she remembered something: "Right, I... I think I saw him come in through the window? That's the twentieth floor! Right, Xiao Chen, how could you come in from the twentieth floor? Can you fly?"

Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled wryly: "I think you're scared out of your wits. You're thinking of anything. Nobody can fly. I just know a little bit of light-footed skill. I climbed up from the window below and almost fell down."

"By the way, Huang Dabao and Liu Yanqiu, I'm done for. You don't need to be afraid of them anymore, and they won't have a chance to hurt you again." Xiao Chen quickly changed the subject, afraid that Zhou Keying and Yun Yuyan would continue to harp on his flying.

Zhou Keying was stunned, staring blankly at him, unable to react for a moment.

"Crippled?" Her voice held a hint of confusion. "What do you mean?"

"High-level paraplegia." Xiao Chen shrugged. "From the neck down, I'll never be able to move. I'll just have to spend the rest of my life lying down like this."

Zhou Keying's eyes widened.

At first, she felt a little reluctant, but soon she felt at ease. Those evil people deserved to suffer that kind of pain, otherwise they would continue to harm others.

Xiao Chen did the right thing. Although it was a bit ruthless, such ruthlessness was necessary and appropriate against such evil people.

"Thank you!" Zhou Keying looked at Xiao Chen. "Don't feel pressured. I won't blame you for being ruthless. That kind of evil person deserves to be punished. I'm just worried that you'll be alright. It seems like Liu Yanqiu has some powerful backer?"

"A powerful backer?" Xiao Chen laughed. "If you're talking about that double-swordsman Shen Jiu, he's already left Dragon Kingdom. He's probably scared off."

Zhou Keying breathed a sigh of relief. This meant she no longer needed to worry about Xiao Chen, nor about Liu Yanqiu's backer targeting her.

“Their money…” Yun Yuyan suddenly said, “They still have money! That money wasn’t confiscated, and they might use it to hire someone to take revenge on us! We can’t leave those kinds of people any money, otherwise who knows how many evil things they would do.”

"Don't worry, their money is gone too."

Xiao Chen smiled, then casually took out his phone, opened a news notification that had just popped up, and gently handed it to her, the movement natural and casual.

Zhou Keying quickly took the phone, her eyes glued to the screen, carefully reading every word of the news flash, not even missing a single punctuation mark...

[Breaking News]:
Huang Dabao, the owner of Baoqiu Building Materials Group, and his wife were attacked by unknown assailants and are now paralyzed in bed. They are currently receiving treatment in the ICU.

It is reported that Huang Dabao and his wife have signed legal documents to donate all their assets (preliminarily valued at approximately 1.8 million yuan) to Project Hope free of charge. As of press time, all funds have been transferred.

Police have launched an investigation into the matter, but details regarding the attackers and the donation have not yet been released.

After reading the news, Zhou Keying's fingers trembled slightly. She remained silent for a few seconds before slowly handing the phone back to Xiao Chen. The fear in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a complex mix of emotions.

"Did you do it? Did you have that money taken away? If so, thank you so much. It's not that I'm a coward, but I'm really afraid they'll use that money against me again. Next time, I might not be so lucky."

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I only crippled them, cutting off any possibility they could have harmed you. As for who took the money, I don't know. You two should both know that I'm just a martial artist; I don't have that kind of ability. You're overthinking it."

Zhou Keying stared into Xiao Chen's eyes, trying to see something in them, but she couldn't see anything. His eyes were very calm, without any hidden meaning.

After a long while, she shook her head: "It doesn't matter anymore. Whether it's you or not, I still want to thank this person for doing so much for me."

Yun Yuyan glanced at Xiao Chen as well: "Alright, everything's fine here. Go to sleep. I'll stay with Keying."

Xiao Chen glanced at Zhou Keying: "I'd better check her out first, so she doesn't suffer any lasting effects."

Psychological trauma is sometimes more terrible than physical trauma, and ironically, his divine power has the ability to heal psychological trauma.

So he went over, took Zhou Keying's hand, closed his eyes, channeled his immortal power, examined Zhou Keying's brain nerves, and began to repair them.

It took him a long time to finish his treatment.

"Hmph, holding onto that girl's hand and not letting go, I didn't expect you to be so dishonest too," Yun Yuyan pouted, it was hard to tell whether she was envious or jealous.

Zhou Keying blushed instantly, but was reluctant to pull her hand away from Xiao Chen's.

Unfortunately, Xiao Chen let go of her hand: "It's alright, Keying. You're perfectly healthy now. Get a good night's sleep tonight, and you'll be fine tomorrow."

Zhou Keying nodded slightly in disappointment: "I understand."

Xiao Chen noticed Zhou Keying seemed a little angry, but he didn't quite understand. This woman's mood really changed as quickly as the weather; he just couldn't figure her out. (End of Chapter)
