Chapter 629: Chapter 629

A Fire let out a piteous howl, his face deathly pale, as he plunged with a splash into the river beside him.

Lin Chen watched A Fire floundering in the river and laughed, "Now you know how to play with fire, don't you!"

A Fire cast a venomous glance at Lin Chen, "Kid, just you wait."

Having said that, A Fire dived into the water and, using the cover of darkness, made his escape.

Lin Chen sneered but did not give chase; instead, he turned and walked toward Susan.

"Beauty, how are you planning to thank me for saving you?" Lin Chen said with a smile.

Seeing Lin Chen actually managed to drive A Fire away, Susan's face revealed a trace of astonishment.

After all, A Fire was one of the top experts in the family, and not many in T Country could match him.

Yet Lin Chen had managed to send him packing with such ease; his strength was simply astonishing.

Susan looked at Lin Chen with gratitude. She was about to thank him when suddenly, her face contorted in pain and she collapsed, her body going limp.

The incident occurred so unexpectedly that Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, before rushing over in a hurry.

Helping Susan who had fallen to the ground, Lin Chen quickly understood the reason she had collapsed.

"Damn, she's having a heart attack," seeing Susan's painful expression, Lin Chen frowned.

At this moment, Susan's face was pallid, her brows deeply furrowed, jaw clenched tight; a look of impending death had settled on her face.

Susan's complexion grew more and more gruesome, so Lin Chen hastily pressed his fingers on several acupoints near her heart and channeled strands of Spiritual Energy into her body.

With the infusion of Spiritual Energy, Susan's complexion gradually softened, and her tightly furrowed brows started to relax.

Whew, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and that's when Susan opened her eyes.

"Thank you, for saving me," Susan opened her eyes and said somewhat shyly.

"Sure, don't mention it. But I only gave you emergency treatment. If you want a full recovery, you'll need more in-depth treatment," Lin Chen said.

"In-depth treatment?" Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Susan's cheeks flushed red. She obviously knew what he meant by 'in-depth'.

Just then, several cars roared in from afar, and dozens of burly men alighted from the stopped cars.

"Another wave?" Lin Chen's expression tensed.

Susan also showed a trace of panic on her face.

Lin Chen chuckled, "Don't worry, beauty. No one can hurt you while I'm here."

Only when these men got closer did Susan breathe a sigh of relief, "It's okay, they're my people."

"Oh!" Lin Chen nodded.

This time around, more than a dozen people had arrived, led by an elderly man with a steady gait—clearly a martial arts expert.

The strength of the people following him was also extraordinary; they quickly made their way up to the two of them.

"Miss Susan, are you all right?" An old man dressed in lavish clothes asked anxiously.

"Old Tian, why have you come? Where is the family head?" Susan asked urgently.

Old Tian sighed, "The Family Head is fine, he's with the third young master now."

As they spoke, Old Tian's gaze fell on Lin Chen, and the old man's otherwise cloudy eyes sharpened slightly upon seeing him.

At the same time, Lin Chen was also observing the elder; he was inwardly surprised to find such a martial arts expert in T Country.

Susan hurriedly introduced Lin Chen to Mr. Tian, "Mr. Tian, just now, when I was in danger, it was thanks to him that he drove off Ah Huo and saved me."

When Mr. Tian heard that Lin Chen had actually driven off Ah Huo, his eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

"Thank you for saving Susan," Mr. Tian bowed slightly.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It was just a small effort."

Kill intent flashed in Susan's eyes, "I hadn't expected Pei Lai to be so utterly heartless, to join forces with the second and make a move against the old man."

Coldness also appeared in Mr. Tian's eyes, "Those two guys have wolfish ambitions, I never would have thought that among the three, only the third young master truly cares about the old man."

Just then, Mr. Tian's phone suddenly rang, and upon answering it, his expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Susan asked anxiously.

"That bastard from the second has actually shown up at the third's doorstep, demanding people from him," Mr. Tian said coldly.

"These guys are simply too arrogant, let's go."

Then Susan saluted Lin Chen, "I cannot thank you enough, sir. Please leave your name and I, Susan, will surely find an opportunity to repay you in the future."

Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "My name is Lin Chen. Oh, and I'll go with you guys. I am a friend of your third young master."

"What, you're Lin Chen?" Susan was overjoyed upon hearing Lin Chen reveal his own name.

Several people got into the car, and sped towards the house of the third, Pei Lai En.

By this time, Pei Lai En's front door was surrounded by a hundred-odd people, with his front gate tightly shut, and a group of bodyguards waiting vigilantly inside.

At this moment, Mr. Tian snorted coldly, got out of the car, with Lin Chen and Susan following behind him.

Seeing Mr. Tian, the faces of those people changed.

Mr. Tian reached down to his waist, gave a gentle tug, and a soft sword appeared in his hand.

"We are all members of the Pei Lai family. I don't want to fight amongst ourselves, but anyone who blocks my path will die," Mr. Tian released a chilling aura as he spoke.

Upon hearing Mr. Tian's voice, the faces of the bodyguards changed, and they automatically parted into two lines.

Being part of the Pei Lai family, Mr. Tian was well-known, feared for being able to kill someone undetected with his soft bone sword.

A few people followed behind Mr. Tian, heading towards the villa.

Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the villa, suddenly a young man in a white suit smilingly blocked their way.

"Mr. Tian, the Family Head is now my big brother, your actions could be considered as a betrayal to the family," said the young man in white, smirking.

"Pei Lai De, you disloyal and unfilial thing, the old man must have been blind to divide his estate among you," Mr. Tian snorted coldly.

"Hmph, that old thing, if it were not for him always controlling our share of the drug business, our Pei Lai family could have already ascended the ranks of the world's families by now. He should have just enjoyed his retirement instead of stopping us brothers from making money. Now, he can't blame us," retorted Pei Lai De.

"Bastard, I'll purge the family on behalf of the old man," said Mr. Tian, his body flickering as he prepared to take action against Pei Lai De.

At this moment, a withered hand suddenly extended from behind Pei Lai De.

"Old man Tian, fighting with a junior, have you no shame? Grandma here will take you on," a figure burst forth, entangling in a fight with Mr. Tian.

Pei Lai De's cold gaze fell on Susan as he ordered to someone beside him, "Do it, slaughter this bitch."

Accompanied by Pei Lai De's command, eight well-trained men in black rushed out from behind him, aggressively lunging toward Susan.

At this moment, Lin Chen stepped in front of Susan, protecting her. Seeing Lin Chen suddenly appear, the faces of the eight men changed instantly.

All eight were hardened individuals accustomed to blood and violence with rich combat experience, but for some reason, Lin Chen gave them a sense of unfathomable depth.
