148: KEEP AN EYE ON HER (PART 16)

KEEP AN EYE ON HER (PART 16)

Xue Lin explained, "I didn't tell you because I wasn't sure how you would react. At first, I thought it was really a ghost. Last night, my conception changed after I passed through it. The green light fell on my body and I knew what was going on. Then, I went to the security office and wanted to see the footage. However, the security officer was saying it's against the rule and blah, blah, blah… so I took care of him."2

Ge Chen was curious. "And how did you take care of him?"

Xue Lin scratched her head. "Yummm… that's not important. Afterward, he spilled the beans and told me who ordered him and I told him to bring me the video footage of the restaurant as proof. My luck was good. He knew someone who could hack and that person gave us the footage. I got all the evidence I needed. Later, I told the security officer to help me. The case is over." 

She couldn't tell him that she hypnotized him and made him her slave. What if he gets scared of her?

"Did you hypnotize him?" Even if she didn't want to tell him, he could guess.

Xue Lin frowned her eyebrows. She didn't like it when others could read her thoughts. She didn't answer his question and only gazed at him.

Seeing her expression, Ge Chen smiled softly. "So, my guess is correct. You don't have to worry about how I think. I think it's wonderful that you can do something on your own. However, I want you to rely on me too. If you can't rely on me, how can I rely on you?"

Xue Lin pondered deeply about his words for a couple of seconds and then agreed. "You are right. I should rely on you. But, to tell the truth, I don't want to rely on others. I'm a lazy person. If I go easy on me, when the time comes, I'm afraid I cannot protect myself. I know you want to protect me all the time but there are times when you cannot do that. At that time, I have to rely on myself only. That's why I will rely on you when you are there. However, I will rely on myself only when I'm not with you. Does it sound fair?"

"It sounds fair." Ge Chen agreed.

At that time, two men barged into the room.

Xue Lin and Ge hen looked at them. They were Ge Chuan Li and Ge Junjie. 

Xue Lin covered herself with the comforter and said, "My husband, tell them to go away. Looking at one ugly face in the morning was enough to ruin my appetite. I cannot stand looking at two more ugly faces."

"How impudent!" Ge Chuan Li chided.

Ge Chen looked at his father and stepbrother coldly. "What do you need?"

Ge Chuan Li gritted his teeth. "What do I need? You put my innocent wife to prison and you dare ask what do I need?"

"Come outside." Ge Chen calmly spoke and went out and made sure his father and stepbrother did the same. "If your wife didn't come here to harm my wife, she wouldn't have ended up in prison."

"She would never do such a thing!" Ge Junjie protested. He couldn't help blaming his mother in his mind. 'Stupid mother! Why did you do something without telling me first? I could have saved you before they caught you!'

Ge Chen didn't even take a glance at him as if he was invisible. He told Ge Chuan Li, "A woman who can destroy a family because of her greed, she can do anything."

Ge Chuan Li roared. "How dare you say that?!"

Ge Chen was still calm but his eyes were slicing Ge Chuan Li like a cold blade. "This is a hospital. My wife is taking a rest. Be quiet. You should dismiss your lawyer if he cannot give you proper information. Also, I've already sent you three video clips. It looks like you didn't watch them. Watch the videos first and then talk."

His chilling voice made Ge Chuan Li shut up. He took out his cell phone and watched three video clips. The first one was about Bai Yue's conspiracy and how she wanted to deal with Xue Lin. The second one was about Xue Lin seeing a green ghost just as Bai Yue spoke. The third video was about Bai Yue making a fuss in the hospital, how she confessed that she killed Ge Chen's mother Su Yin and how she ended up in the hospital.

Silence fell on the ward. Ge Chen spoke first, "If you try to bail your wife, you are welcome to do so. However, I will make sure you can only get her dead body." His voice was low and danger leaked from each word. His eyes looked as vicious as a snake.

Ge Chuan Li couldn't say anything. However, Ge Junjie didn't let it go. "I will see how you kill my mother."

Ge Chen finally looked at him and warned, "Don't think you can use your power where you do not belong."

From inside, Xue Lin peeked out of the comforter. 'What are they talking about? I cannot hear anything. Does my husband need any help? He is always so quiet in front of others. I don't know if he can handle them well. What if he just takes their bullying like before?' She got worried about him.

Ge Junjie stepped forward and gazed at Ge Chen eye to eye. "Do you want to have a bet?" His eyes gazed behind Ge Chen where Xue Lin was. He continued, "Why don't we bet your wife? If I win, I will have her."

Ge Chen's eyes calmly looked at Ge Junjie but this calmness was right before a category five hurricane. 

Ge Junjie saw that Ge Chen wasn't fighting back and only chillingly looking at him, he became bolder and smirked eerily. "Do not worry about your ugly wife. Once I have my fun with her, I will let my friends and business partners play with her."
