The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

Chapter 127 (Wenxi, Go Back) I Only Feel Safe with You at My Side

Seemingly realizing something, Lin Wenxi rushed to the door and opened it.

As soon as Zhao Yuan came in and saw Huang Xiya, he flopped on his knees and gave her a loud kowtow.

“Yuan, get up. There will be a way out. We are going to work this out.” Lin Wenxi rushed to hug Zhao Yuan, crying heart-wrenchingly.

“Zhao Yuan, we have tried every possible means that we can think of. Uncle Lin’s ability is also limited.” Huang Xiya looked very unhappy. She really wanted to roar at the boy in front of her, but she was not hardhearted enough to do that.

Kneeling on the ground, Zhao Yuan just would not get up.

Today, Zheng Zihuan told him very seriously that no matter what, he should get help from Lin Wenxi’s family.

“Even if you will be humiliated, even if you have to bow and scrape, you should ask Director Lin to take up the matter!” Zheng Zihuan said, “They attacked Lin Wenxi because they knew that he had brought so many students to guard your father, which indicates that our enemies have been around us all the time and they are going to make their move soon! Do you understand?”

Zhao Yuan certainly understood. However, when Lin Ziwei told him in person that he would try his best to figure out a way, but his ability was limited, Zhao Yuan could also understand that. Zhao Yuan didn’t want to constrain Lin Wenxi to do things that were beyond his power, nor did Zhao Yuan want to implicate Lin Wenxi. After Lin Wenxi was attacked, Zhao Yuan became so painful that he nearly rip his hair out. But now his father was on the verge of death. Zhao Yuan knew it clearly that enemies had been lurking around his father, so he had no choice but to come to Lin Wenxi’s home.

On its rough trip back to Yangzi County, the car stopped and went. Everything on the way went against Zhao Yuan. It seemed as if some crises would strike him. At the time Zhao Yuan arrived at Yangzi County, the sky looked horribly gloomy with those low-lying dark clouds. Zhao Yuan could hear faint thunder roars from behind the clouds. The first heavy rain this winter was about to begin. Burning with anxiety, Zhao Yuan came trembling to the Lin family.

“Zhao Yuan, go away! Don’t keep close touch with Wenxi, please! My son also needs to stay alive!” Huang Xiya could not help crying. She covered her face with her hands, tears slipping out between her fingers.

“Did my son owe you something in his previous life? He exceeded his authority to raise money for you. Because of that, he was punished and was sent to teach at a remote and poor area. In the end, he became a bag of bones! And it was also because of you that some people attacked and almost kidnapped him! He had been living in a quiet and steady life. How could he meet you at Jifu University who then pulled him in such a whirlpool-like situation?” Huang Xiya poured out her heart, honestly.

“Mom! I beg you to shut up, okay?” Lin Wenxi stood up abruptly and snarled at Huang Xiya.

“Did you ask me to shut up? Do you know that the exchange student was dead?” asked Huang Xiya sharply.

“Didn’t they say that there was something wrong such that the student could not join the exchange program?” Lin Wenxi was shocked and turned to ask Hong Xuan.

“He is dead. He walked into a dark alley for no reason and was scared by someone, which led to sudden heart failure. For now, we cannot find any other reasons. So we cannot tell whether it is a coincidence or a murder deliberately done by someone,” said Hong Xuan.

“Is he dead?” Zhao Yuan looked up at Huang Xiya, and then looked at Lin Wenxi.

“You only told Zhao Yuan the thing that you are going to be an exchange student, did you?” Huang Xiya asked Lin Wenxi. But Lin Wenxi turned around without replying.

“I am asking you, Zhao Yuan. Did you tell the thing to Chen Wanxin only?” Huang Xiya shot her question at Zhao Yuan, sharply.

After a long silence, Zhao Yuan said with difficulty, “Yes.”

“You still have a sense of responsibility that you dared to admit it!” Huang Xiya smiled coldly. “A fine life is lost. Very good, perfect!”

“So, was it Wanxin who helped me to go back to Jifu University? Did she ask you to be her boyfriend in exchange?” Lin Wenxi whispered his questions.

“Yes,” Zhao Yuan replied.

“It’s a coincidence, a coincidence...” Lin Wenxi fell down. He had never thought that Zhao Yuan tried so hard to find a solution only because he didn’t want to leave. And the person Zhao Yuan happened to ask for help was Chen Wanxin. However, it never occurred to Lin Wenxi that they would kill someone indirectly. He and Zhao Yuan had all become accomplices. Lin Wenxi found it was quite hard to believe that.

“How can there be so many coincidences? A person’s life! Do you know how vicious can the Chen family act? And how innocent Wenxi is? Ziwei, Hong Xuan, and I dared not to say that to Wenxi, only because we fear that Wenxi cannot bear the burden. He cannot bear the burden!” Painfully looking at her only son, Huang Xiya burst into tears.

“Last time I came... Why didn’t you tell me? Otherwise...” Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Wenxi, who seemed quite painful at this moment.

“Chen Wanxin is only your nominal girlfriend. And you never know her background. So you would certainly turn to her for help. Besides, there is no evidence to prove that the exchange student was murdered. Nor is there any evidence to show that the Chen family murdered the student. To keep you from bearing too much burden, your father doesn’t want to say too much to you. No evidence means no existence. You don’t need to think too much. And Wenxi, so do you!” Hong Xuan said calmly with his eyes looking at Huang Xiya.

Huang Xiya quivered all in a sudden. In pain, she even pinned such a big sin on his son. “Yes, there is no evidence. I, I spoke without thinking just now. But... Zhao Yuan, you should not be with my son anymore. It is my final piece of advice to you.”

“You can go now. As long as you stop hanging out with Wenxi all the time, I promise you that I will ask Ziwei to find a solution as soon as possible!” said Huang Xiya solemnly.

Zhao Yuan only felt as if a chain of gold was hanging around his neck. However, he had to nod with great difficulty when this matter had reached this stage.

“I didn’t agree!” Lin Wenxi stood up and protested. “Mom, you should take a break first. You are confused by now. Hasn’t Dad figured out a way and sent some people to guard Uncle Zhao? Making a deal at this time, do you really want to entrap my father in immorality?”

Huang Xiya mulled her son’s words over and could not help feeling a moment of panic. In a hurry, she held on to the arms of the chair and saw Lin Wenxi walking out together with Zhao Yuan.

“Wenxi, you stay to accompany your mother. As for my affairs, I will try to find a solution,” Zhao Yuan said softly. He knew that although he did not meet the requirements of the Mo family, the Mo family must have had such an ability to wipe out injustice for his father. Because they had promised him that they would help him with that if he won the match. Zhao Yuan was going to find the Mo family. At this moment, he would not hesitate to do anything that the Mo family might make him do.

“Your problem is mine and also my family’s problem.” Lin Wenxi hugged Zhao Yuan gently, and then he held Zhao Yuan in his arms. “Trust me, okay?”

Zhao Yuan shook his head. “I have brought you too much trouble.”

“Zhao Yuan, the most regrettable moment in my life is the night of that Tanabata. The happiest moment in my life is the day that I stayed in the countryside with you. Although only a short day, I have thought about it many times. The life of that day is the kind of life I truly want to live.” Lin Wenxi embraced Zhao Yuan. He rested his head in Zhao Yuan’s chest and would not let go.

“Son, where are you going?” asked Huang Xiya.

“Me? Didn’t dad think of a solution long ago? I am going to Uncle Zhao’s place. Now that Hong Xuan follows me wherever I go with the guards to protect me. When I am there, they will protect Uncle Zhao and me, won’t they?” Lin Wenxi smiled at Huang Xiya brilliantly.

Hong Xuan’s heart suddenly missed a beat. “Lin Wenxi wants to cut off all means of retreat to make us protect Zhang Mingjiang. How could he come up with such an idea? But Wenxi, this is simply a suicide! It is already a fact that someone will come to kill Zhao Mingjiang. Brother Wei won’t allow Lin Wenxi to put himself in such a dangerous situation!”

“Wenxi, come back!” Huang Xiya leaned against the door, but she did not have the strength to go on. “Wenxi, you come back!”

Huang Xiya’s voice sounded particularly harsh in the dull night.

“Uncle Hong Xuan, won’t you stop me, too? But this is my father’s decision,” Lin Wenxi said while smiling. “I believe that you will protect me like a father protecting his son, whenever and wherever, will you?”

Hong Xuan nodded silently.

“Wenxi, go back.” Zhao Yuan stood still.

“I only feel safe with you at my side.” Lin Wenxi held Zhao Yuan’s hand and slowly walked forward. As for Zhao Yuan, his face was covered with tears already.

The lightning flashed across that lightened Lin Wenxi’s face, and a sudden thunder sounded. Usually, Lin Wenxi had a gentle and quiet face. However, at this moment, he became so determined that his expression looked as firm as the steel.
