Lin Chen was puzzled. "I killed the assassins and ruined their plan. Won't they really retaliate?"
Xu Guofeng said, "In most cases, they won't. Powerful forces are involved in all sorts of things. Many plans are disrupted every year. If they retaliated for every one, they'd make enemies of the whole world."
"If they retaliated over every little thing, what would other forces think? They'd definitely worry about being retaliated against themselves."
Lin Chen nodded slightly.
Xu Guofeng continued, "It will be over within a month. This kind of thing is likely an internal power struggle within the family. Causing trouble for the family is a negative."
"Small forces and small families are prone to holding grudges, but big forces and big families care most about their interests."
"You were just unintentionally involved in this matter."
"Don't worry too much."
Lin Chen: "I'm not worried about myself. I'm worried about you and Aunt Yang in America, in case you run into trouble."
Xu Guofeng chuckled.
"There's no need for you to worry about us. There's an unspoken understanding among the wealthy. Why would they kill us? It would only cause them trouble."
"We're all in the same circle. If you don't play by the rules, the others in the circle will constantly ostracize you."
"So many wealthy people go bankrupt. How many have you seen get killed because of it?"
Lin Chen thought for a moment, and it was true, very few.
Bankruptcy was commonplace, but the killing of the wealthy was rare.
"Uncle Xu, let's just be careful."
Xu Guofeng nodded. "Don't worry, I've hired bodyguards. They're from America's strongest security company. If anything happens to us, it'll be a black eye for them."
"All the different factions will give them some face."
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Guofeng said, "I'll have someone investigate and find out what's really going on. I'll let you know when I have something."
"Xiaoxi's asleep. You should get some rest too."
Xu Guofeng got up and left.
"Beep beep!"
Back in his own room, Xu Guofeng made a phone call.
He also had some connections in America.
Xu Guofeng received the news in less than half an hour.
"It really is internal strife within the family."
Xu Guofeng muttered to himself.
Xu Guofeng had already added Lin Chen on WeChat. He sent Lin Chen a message: "Lin Chen, it's internal strife within the Dawson Family, there won't be any problems."
"Okay, Uncle Xu."
Lin Chen relaxed.
However, this matter also sounded the alarm for him.
This world isn't as peaceful as it seems!
He needed to become stronger to protect himself and his family.
I wonder when I'll get a martial arts skill.
Lin Chen mumbled to himself.
His skill acquisition relied on letting things happen naturally; forcing Lin Xiaoxi to practice martial arts wouldn't get him a skill.
"Xiaoxi, you're past two years old. You're not a baby anymore. You need to get with the program."
Lin Chen went into the bedroom.
He tapped Lin Xiaoxi's little nose.
Lin Xiaoxi had a sweet smile on her face, not knowing what she was dreaming about.
\n\n
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
\n\n
In the morning, Xu Guofeng took Lin Xiaoxi to the hospital. At noon, Lin Chen cooked a meal and the four of them ate together at the hospital.
\n\n
Lin Chen would cook extra so that Yang Qingyue could eat some at night.
\n\n
Yang Qingyue, who had been eating a lot at every meal, had recovered a lot.
\n\n
"Grandpa, Grandma, I'll miss you."
\n\n
"Grandma, you have to get better soon and come back soon, okay?"
\n\n
Lin Xiaoxi said reluctantly.
Lin Chen and the others had been here for a week. Xu Guofeng and the others, though reluctant, had to let them go back.
Xu Mengyao also missed Lin Xiaoxi.
Besides, they needed Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao to have more contact.
"Grandma will get better soon."
"Xiaoxi, you have to listen to your parents, okay?"
Yang Qingyue hugged Lin Xiaoxi and smiled.
"Mm-hmm."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
Knock, knock!
The door knocked at that moment. Xu Guofeng opened the door, and the person outside wasn't a doctor but a blonde woman. This blonde woman was Solina.
She was holding a large bouquet of flowers.
"Mr. Xu, my name is Solina. I've come to visit your wife," Solina said with a smile.
Xu Guofeng let Solina into the room. Solina gave the flowers to Yang Qingyue, then looked at Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, thank you for your help. I have already achieved victory."
"Contact me if you need help in the future."
Lin Chen said calmly, "I'm not helping you; I'm protecting myself. Just don't let anyone bother us."
"Don't worry, it won't happen," Solina assured.
She left after less than two minutes.
"Uncle Xu, Aunt Yang, Xiaoxi and I will leave first. Take care."
Not long after, Lin Chen left as well, carrying Lin Xiaoxi.
"Although Solina isn't exceptionally beautiful, she's still alright. Could she have feelings for Lin Chen?" Yang Qingyue said with a touch of worry.
Xu Guofeng said, "Honey, what are you thinking? The Dawson Family has assets worth billions of dollars, much richer than our Xu Family. She will be the heir to the Dawson Family."
"Lin Chen is also excellent."
"You don't think there's any chance Solina would be interested in Lin Chen?"
Yang Qingyue frowned slightly.
Xu Guofeng said, "Well... it's not impossible. But the probability is extremely low, honey, don't worry."
"Don't you have confidence in Mengyao?"
Yang Qingyue said, "If Mengyao were more proactive, I'd definitely have confidence. Our daughter isn't inferior to anyone, but she's always cold towards men."
"I'm just afraid that Lin Chen's enthusiasm will fade over time."
Xu Guofeng looked at her strangely and said, "Honey, are you a little too satisfied with Lin Chen right now?"
"You've got to be nice when you've eaten someone's food."
"I've eaten so many meals from him."
Yang Qingyue murmured, "Honey, do you think we should persuade Mengyao to get a marriage certificate with Lin Chen first? They can get the certificate first and then slowly cultivate their relationship."
"Get the certificate first?"
"Yeah, they already have a child. It's no big deal to get a certificate."
Xu Guofeng considered it for a moment and said, "Not in a hurry. Let them spend some more time together. We'll wait until we go back and see what kind of state they're in before we decide."
Xu Guofeng and the others had no idea that Lin Chen and the others had already gotten their marriage certificate a long time ago.
Twenty-odd hours passed, and the plane landed safely.
While teaching Lin Xiaoxi how to fold paper airplanes, he'd gained a lot of information about airplanes, especially the Gulfstream G550. He'd thought something might happen.
The evidence proved that his system didn't like to cause trouble.
"Mom!"
Lin Xiaoxi said happily as she got off the plane.
Xu Mengyao had driven the car into the airport to pick them up.
"Xiaoxi, Mommy missed you so much," Xu Mengyao said, hugging Lin Xiaoxi and giving her a kiss.
"Mom, Dad and I miss you so much. Do you miss Dad?"
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen.
Her face was slightly red.
"I... I do."
Lin Xiaoxi giggled, "Mom, put me down, and you and Dad can kiss and hug each other."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"Mom's not hugging your dad right now. Your dad hasn't showered in a long time, he must stink."
"Lin Chen, you drive, I'll hold Xiaoxi."
Xu Mengyao drove herself; she didn't have her assistant drive.
"Alright."
Lin Chen smiled slightly.
The three of them quickly got into the car.
"Mom, I'll tell you a little secret, okay?"
Lin Xiaoxi whispered.
The space inside the car was small, so Lin Chen could hear clearly.
"What secret?"
Xu Mengyao asked.
Lin Xiaoxi leaned in close to Xu Mengyao's ear, "There's an aunt looking for Dad, and she gave flowers too."
