Chapter 139 I’ll Treat Your Wounds
Lin Aoxue really didn’t move.
Now that she had come to her senses, she was still shaken, although her face didn’t reveal any expression, but thinking about it made her feel afraid.
If Su Rui hadn’t appeared, then today she would have been in mortal danger.
Thinking about this, Lin Aoxue unconsciously recalled that deadly feeling of suffocation.
Yes, in his panic, Great hadn’t held back, and in that moment Lin Aoxue truly felt how close she was to death.
Something that had once seemed so distant now felt within reach.
At such a critical moment, Su Rui’s figure gave her an immense sense of security.
The wound on her neck ached faintly. Lin Aoxue turned her head slightly and found Su Rui carefully examining her injuries.
Being stared at so closely by a man made Lin Aoxue feel uncomfortable. She initially wanted to stand up, but when she saw Su Rui’s serious expression, she abandoned the idea.
“Don’t move.”
Seeing Lin Aoxue turning her head, affecting his examination of her injuries, Su Rui naturally reached out with both hands, placing them on her cheeks to position her head properly.
Lin Aoxue’s entire body stiffened.
“Does it still hurt?”
Su Rui looked at the purple bruises, his eyes flashing with intensity.
“It’s fine.”
“Wait here.”
Su Rui picked up Lin Aoxue again, placed her on the sofa, then hurriedly opened the door and went out.
Lin Aoxue gently touched her neck, thinking about Su Rui’s blood-covered body, and fell into deep thought.
This was her first close encounter with killing, and also the first time witnessing Su Rui’s terrifying skills. Besides feeling a little afraid, what remained was only deep concern.
Lin Aoxue wasn’t worried about herself, but about Su Rui. Thinking about the blurry figure that appeared in her vision at the critical moment of suffocation, her clear eyes revealed a complex meaning.
If he hadn’t seen her being choked by that person, Su Rui probably wouldn’t have become so enraged. He even killed someone for her sake. This was China – even if it was self-defense, it would still be considered excessive, and a prison sentence of several years would be unavoidable.
Lin Aoxue clenched her fists slightly. This incident happened because of her. If Su Rui really went to prison for protecting her, no matter what, even if she had to use all her connections, even if she had to spend all of Bikang’s assets, Lin Aoxue would rescue him!
Now, Lin Aoxue wasn’t thinking about her own safety, nor about the safety of the triazolam, but about Su Rui’s safety.
If she weren’t a woman, she would definitely be a good brother who would take a knife for his friends.
She was a woman, but she could still take a knife for someone who had helped her.
Beneath her icy exterior was a warmth that others couldn’t discover.
The ice layer was usually too thick for ordinary people to notice, but if you broke through the ice, you would definitely feel a pleasant, comfortable sensation like a gentle spring breeze.
In just two or three minutes, Su Rui returned, now carrying a silver briefcase.
This was the case he had brought earlier.
After opening it, Su Rui took out a small bottle of blue liquid from a compartment inside and said to Lin Aoxue: “Sit properly.”
Hearing this, Lin Aoxue immediately sat up straight, like a schoolchild in class, very obedient to Su Rui’s words.
Because Lin Aoxue’s neck was delicate and snow-white, seemingly flawless, the purple bruises were even more shocking, with some areas already seeping blood.
“This medicine was made by an old Chinese medicine doctor. It’s very effective at removing scars,” Su Rui said as he poured some liquid into his palm and rubbed his hands together to warm it. “Most of the scars on my body faded because of this medicine. You’re so beautiful, it would be a shame to leave scars.”
Hearing the words “you’re so beautiful,” Lin Aoxue looked up at Su Rui, her eyes bright.
“Although this kind of injury won’t necessarily leave scars, it’s better to be careful, and this will also speed up your recovery.”
After warming the medicine, Su Rui dipped his finger in it and gently applied it to the bruises on Lin Aoxue’s neck.
When his fingers touched Lin Aoxue’s neck, she noticeably stiffened, but Su Rui didn’t seem to notice at all. He continued to carefully rub the medicine into the bruised areas, ensuring the skin absorbed it thoroughly.
“If this medicine could be mass-produced, it would definitely create a monopoly,” Su Rui chatted casually to distract Lin Aoxue and keep her from dwelling on the terrifying incident.
“Why isn’t it mass-produced?” Lin Aoxue watched as Su Rui bent over to apply the medicine, sweat beads forming on his forehead.
“Because the ingredients are too precious. If it were priced according to cost, probably few people could afford even this small bottle.”
Su Rui applied it very carefully until Lin Aoxue felt her entire neck was warm.
Whether it was the effectiveness of the medicine or psychological suggestion, Lin Aoxue seemed to feel that the pain from her injuries was subsiding, and even the dull ache was gradually disappearing.
“Done.” Su Rui screwed the cap back on, then instinctively blew gently on the wet medicine on her wounds.
Feeling the cool breath against her skin, Lin Aoxue felt uncomfortable and wanted to move away, but she noticed Su Rui’s gaze remained serious, focused only on her injuries, nothing else.
Besides, his breath smelled quite nice, very fresh, unlike many men who had various unpleasant odors in their mouths.
Lin Aoxue pulled out a tissue and handed it to Su Rui.
“What for?” Su Rui didn’t understand Lin Aoxue’s intention.
“To wipe the sweat from your forehead.”
Su Rui smiled: “That won’t do. You have to wipe it for me.”
Lin Aoxue stood up: “Wipe it yourself then.”
Su Rui smiled wryly, took the tissue and carelessly wiped his forehead.
Lin Aoxue walked to the table, opened a cup, and drank all the tea. She didn’t even care that Su Rui had used it before. The Mosby flower tea had gone completely cold, making her whole body feel a bit cooler, which was much more comfortable.
Today was truly a brush with death. Those two researchers were hired from outside with high salaries, and Lin Aoxue had interviewed them personally. Their resumes and abilities shouldn’t have been problematic, but why did they do this?
Most importantly, these two had been with the company for over half a year and had always performed well. Were they after the new synthesis method for triazolam all along? That made no sense and had no reason!
From this perspective, it didn’t add up, because the new synthesis method for triazolam had only been successfully researched a month ago. They couldn’t have foreseen this half a year ago!
Or were these two recently bought by someone else, leading to such actions?
This was terrifying, almost no different from terrorists!
But even if they were bought by someone else, how could two scientific researchers possess such fighting skills?
Lin Aoxue was very confused, and this confusion made her feel a chill down her spine!
If it were an ordinary woman, after today’s terrifying experience, she would certainly remain in a state of shock for several days before recovering. But Lin Aoxue not only remained almost unshaken, she could even maintain a clear head to think about the problem. It’s hard to say whether this was due to her thick skin or her strong will.
“You rest here, I’ll go out for a bit,” Su Rui said after looking at Lin Aoxue and determining that her emotional state wasn’t too bad.
Today’s events undoubtedly sounded an alarm for Su Rui. He had underestimated the strength and determination of those enemies hiding in the shadows. These people were everywhere – this time they attacked from the laboratory, would they directly bomb the office next time?
It’s worth noting that the lunatics in the Western underworld had no regard for worldly rules, let alone laws. Their actions were always based on their own preferences. If they really went crazy, he alone would definitely be unable to defend against them!
In fact, Su Rui could completely become a truly shameless person, abandon his promise, and flee far away. What did the life or death of the Lin family father and daughter have to do with him? At worst, he would break a promise and never return to China, living with his tail between his legs. Why make himself so tired?
But Su Rui was naturally not that kind of person. Having spent just half a month with Lin Aoxue, he already considered protecting Bikang Group as something he must do. This had nothing to do with beautiful women, but with righteousness.
He didn’t know how long this commitment would last, nor how many enemies he would make because of it, but Su Rui didn’t care about these things. Since he had chosen this path, he would move forward fearlessly.
The two guys today were very strange and dangerous. He had to investigate everything thoroughly.
When necessary, Su Rui wouldn’t mind using some methods to intimidate these persistent thieves.
“I’ll go with you.”
Lin Aoxue stood up, seeming to understand clearly what Su Rui was going to do.
“No, you wait here.” Su Rui looked at this extremely intelligent woman, his eyes revealing a hint of gentleness, but within that gentleness was also an unquestionable firmness.
“In this area, you have far less experience than I do, and the scene won’t be pretty. I don’t want you to have any psychological trauma,” Su Rui said honestly.
After all, there was one severely injured and one dead person there. Su Rui would definitely need to use some bloody methods on them. Taking Lin Aoxue along would absolutely not be a wise decision.
“But they came to kill me.”
Lin Aoxue had already walked in front of Su Rui: “This matter involves Bikang’s safety, I have the right to know.”
“Why are you so stubborn?” Su Rui moved to block her path and said, “If you really want to go, fine. Kiss me, and I’ll let you pass.”
Hearing this, Lin Aoxue immediately raised her knee and aimed directly between Su Rui’s legs without hesitation!
