Chapter 021 Terrifying Skills
In the moment the entire estate plunged into darkness, Lin Aoxue’s heart tightened!
A fear she had never experienced before appeared in her heart and gradually spread!
Lin Fuzhang was also very nervous; he was now truly in the midst of the situation!
The room was pitch black, and in darkness, people often magnify their fears!
“Boss, Miss, stand against the wall! I’m here!” The security captain was scared himself, but had to appear brave and righteous. With so many subordinates already taken out, what miracle could he perform even if he was there?
“Big talk without fear of biting your tongue. What use are you here?”
At that moment, a mocking voice suddenly sounded in the room!
“Who’s there!” The security captain’s hair stood on end, and his hand holding the gun trembled slightly!
How did the intruder get in when he was guarding the door?
Lin Fuzhang and Lin Aoxue clearly recognized it as Su Rui’s voice! Their hearts were filled with disbelief!
Indeed, that voice really scared them!
“Don’t move, or I’ll shoot!” The security captain stood in front of the Lin father and daughter, pointing his gun in the direction of the voice!
“You should shoot immediately rather than making threats. It really serves no purpose.” Su Rui’s voice suddenly came from far to near, sounding right beside the security captain’s ear!
The latter felt as if he’d encountered a ghost, his body jolting. He hadn’t heard any footsteps—how did he get so close?
The security captain hurriedly tried to raise his gun to shoot, but at that moment, Su Rui said: “Don’t bother shooting. In the time it takes, I could have killed you dozens of times.”
With that, the security captain felt a pain at the back of his neck, his head tilted, and he passed out!
Su Rui dusted off his hands, walked to the main switch, and pulled it up. The entire villa became bright again!
“This bodyguard is really weak, not even knowing about the main switch in the monitoring room.” Su Rui smiled at the shocked Lin family and said: “Well, the war is over. You’re all dead.”
Looking at Su Rui’s casual demeanor, Lin Aoxue’s gaze was complex. What had just happened created a strong visual impact that would likely not fade for some time!
At this moment, Lin Aoxue wasn’t even thinking about the bet, only shock, nothing but shock!
From the first surveillance screen showing static to the lights coming back on, the entire process took less than five minutes!
What kind of abnormal physical ability and combat awareness would it take to accomplish this?
Lin Fuzhang was too shocked to speak. He was truly grateful this was just an exercise! Otherwise, their entire Lin family would have been completely wiped out!
The so-called ironclad security arrangement was like paper in front of Su Rui! Thinking about his previous confidence when mentioning the security system, Lin Fuzhang couldn’t help but feel his face burning with embarrassment!
“Brother Su, I never imagined you could…” Lin Fuzhang thought for a long time but couldn’t find the right words.
“I told you before, why else would I bet with Aoxue?” Su Rui said with a smile.
At the mention of the bet, Lin Aoxue’s expression immediately became complicated. She had always been someone who kept her word, but should she go back on it this time? But how could she possibly tolerate Su Rui spanking her?
How could he be so strong? She had instructed the bodyguards they could use their guns!
As if seeing through Lin Aoxue’s thoughts, Su Rui pursed his lips and said flatly: “I wouldn’t give them the chance to shoot.”
“Brother Su’s skill gives him confidence. May I ask, what was the bet between you and Aoxue?” Lin Fuzhang asked with a smile.
Lin Aoxue’s face immediately darkened upon hearing this.
Su Rui glanced at Lin Aoxue and chuckled: “Brother Lin, well… Aoxue said if I lost, I would immediately pack up and leave Bikan, never to appear again.”
“That’s unacceptable!” Lin Fuzhang immediately became anxious. Someone this capable was hard to find even with a lantern! Su Rui was absolutely an honored guest among honored guests. What was wrong with this girl Aoxue, repeatedly trying to drive him away! It was really too much!
Lin Aoxue looked at Su Rui in surprise. She had almost thought he would blurt out something about the “spanking” bet, but instead he diverted her father’s attention with another bet. Fortunately, if Lin Fuzhang knew she would get spanked for losing, Lin Aoxue probably wouldn’t dare stay at the Lin family villa anymore.
“Aoxue, Brother Su is our honored guest. Don’t say such impolite things again in the future.” Lin Fuzhang said sternly.
“Whatever.” Lin Aoxue’s tone was indifferent.
“By the way, Brother Su, how are those security personnel now?” Lin Fuzhang was curious how Su Rui had silently dealt with those high-level bodyguards.
“They’re all unconscious, but they’re fine. They’ll wake up in half an hour.”
Lin Fuzhang nodded, somewhat embarrassed: “It seems my villa’s security configuration needs to be strengthened considerably.”
Su Rui waved his hand: “Actually, your people are quite good. Their skill level is adequate to handle ordinary assassins without much problem. After all, not everyone is as capable as I am.”
Lin Fuzhang deeply agreed, while Lin Aoxue coldly threw out: “How boastful.”
Su Rui glanced at her without answering, thinking: When I spank you, let’s see how you cry and beg me. When making the bet, I said “spank once,” but I never specified how many slaps that “once” includes!
“I brought some equipment that can be installed in the surveillance blind spots to improve the early warning capability.”
Su Rui hadn’t forgotten today’s main purpose, saying: “We shouldn’t delay. I’ll start checking for bugs now.”
To Lin Fuzhang, Su Rui was now an honored guest among honored guests. Hearing Su Rui speak this way, he quickly said: “No rush, no rush. We can check after dinner. Let me introduce you to your aunt… no, your sister-in-law.”
Lin Aoxue’s face darkened again, seeing that Su Rui’s status would firmly outrank her own.
“Uh, sister-in-law…” Su Rui was secretly amused.
Lin Fuzhang’s wife, Lin Aoxue’s mother, was named Wei Shuling. She had followed him when he was still a poor young man, never leaving his side. Later, when he succeeded in business, Wei Shuling finally became Mrs. Lin, living the wealthy life many envied.
All these years, the old Lin couple’s relationship had been very good, with even ordinary quarrels being rare.
Wei Shuling was clearly the kind of amiable middle-aged woman with a slight tendency for gossip. When she saw Su Rui, her eyes immediately lit up at his appearance—although Su Rui sometimes appeared a bit roguish, his handsome exterior and the aura he exuded were quite captivating, especially to older women. He was definitely the type they liked.
The meal was ready, and Wei Shuling kept serving food to Su Rui while asking him various questions.
“Young Su, what did you do in America before?”
“Just some small business. I didn’t always stay in America, I traveled between different countries.” Su Rui told the truth without lying, just omitting important details.
“How long do you plan to stay in China this time?” When Wei Shuling asked this, she glanced at Lin Aoxue, who was eating silently with an expressionless face.
Wei Shuling understood that in all these years, Su Rui was the first talented young man old Lin had brought home, showing his status in her husband’s heart. Such a man was indeed excellent and would match well with Aoxue.
Thinking about her daughter’s marriage prospects, Wei Shuling began to worry. What use was it for a woman to have a successful career? Eventually, marriage and children were the most important things. With her daughter’s cold, unapproachable demeanor, who would dare marry her?
However, if Aoxue could develop a relationship with this Su Rui, that would be quite good.
Once she thought this way, Wei Shuling found everything about Su Rui pleasing—isn’t there a saying? A mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law will like everything she sees.
Of course, this might also be because Wei Shuling had been staying at home alone for too long, making her increasingly gossipy.
“I was entrusted to help… to assist Brother Lin in resolving some issues with the group. Once things are settled here, I’ll have to return to America.”
Entrusted by others to fulfill their requests—although Su Rui didn’t know how long this mission would take, once he agreed, he had to be responsible, right?
“How long will it take to finish things here?” Wei Shuling wanted Su Rui to give a longer timeframe. This young man really seemed quite good.
“Probably at least a few months.”
Su Rui scratched his head. That patent for “Using High Molecular Methods to Synthesize Triazolam at the Microscopic Level” was truly a hot potato. Holding it was like embracing a pile of shining gold bricks in the night, telling others—come rob me, come rob me.
Looking at it this way, saying a few months was too short. It would be best to convince Lin Aoxue to throw out the patent rights, at least to divert a large part of the attention.
Being watched covetously by international criminal organizations was an experience Su Rui had tasted before, and it was indeed not pleasant.
“That’s good. You should come visit us more often. I’ll cook for you.” Wei Shuling thought that a few months would be enough time for this young man to develop something with her daughter. She loved her daughter dearly and wanted to keep good young men in reserve for her.
“Certainly, certainly.” Su Rui lowered his head to eat. Communicating with Chinese aunties was really too mentally taxing. Her gaze was like looking at “prey.” Damn, since when had the great Sun God become prey for middle-aged women?
It showed that Chinese aunties were invincible; they would eventually conquer the world.
Finally finishing the meal, Lin Aoxue saw Su Rui’s awkward demeanor in front of her mother and found it strangely amusing. She had thought nothing could control this guy.
“Now let’s start checking the rooms, beginning with Aoxue’s.” Su Rui put down his chopsticks and looked at Lin Aoxue challengingly, smiling.
