Chapter 552: Half Angel, Half Devil (Part One)

When Lin Chuxue woke up, she saw Xu Cheng sitting by the window and accompanying her.

She got up and hugged Xu Cheng around the neck, and Xu Cheng gently patted her soft back as he gently said, “It’s all fine now. I’ve never seen such a brave Chuxue.”

Lin Chuxue rested her head on his shoulder like a child and whispered, “But in the end, my legs still gave in and I fainted…”

Xu Cheng smiled. “It’s fine, you already took the first step forward.”

Lin Chuxue nodded and said in a soft voice, “Then would you like this kind of Chuxue?”

“Yeah, any Chuxue is fine.” Xu Cheng looked at her beautiful cheeks and said, “But I do like last night’s Chuxue more.”

Last night, she showed her absolute trust in Xu Cheng. She was able to keep her cool in the face of a grave danger and declare her position. He was happy that she was able to fully trust him and not worry about him at all, and what made him even happier was finding out that as he picked his path to take on the world, she was willing to accompany him courageously. He saw the changes Lin Chuxue had made to herself. For him, she was willing to leave behind everything to follow him.

“Are we back now?” Lin Chuxue asked.

Xu Cheng nodded. “Yeah.”

The cruise returned smoothly, and the Dubai police boarded the cruise and checked out the entire ship.

When they found that there were 50 mercenaries dead in the casino and that about 150 had died in the bedroom area outside, those guests on the cruise were so frightened that they didn’t even know how to forget about that night.

There was a fear in their hearts that couldn’t be explained, and no one could forget the strange and terrifying event that happened last night. Every member that had experienced it on board would not dare to set foot onto that ship again, because they had begun thinking it was haunted.

But, only Haber knew that all of those 200 mercenaries died from one person’s hands.

That person produced the perfect alibi by jumping into the ocean.

All the rich and powerful figures on the boat that night collectively initiated a lawsuit against Blackwater, and they handed over the list of the mercenaries identified on the cruise to the court.

However, those mercenaries already resigned and disassociated themselves from Blackwater, so Blackwater didn’t have to handle this PR nightmare. Haber and the others were pretty helpless. After all, Blackwater was linked to the M Nation government, and they obviously wouldn’t accept this scandal.

When the Dubai police recorded the testimonies of the guests on board, they were all stupefied.

Almost everyone intentionally or unintentionally pointed their fingers at Lin Chuxue.

Almost every survivor said that it was Lin Chuxue that saved them.

How?

“She seemed to know some kind of witchcraft. That night, all those mercenaries died after they tried to hurt her, especially that mercenary captain that was talking about violating her; his death was most gruesome. His body was shot through by dozens of bullets,” a Western lady said.

“She was extremely calm that night, unlike everyone else. And then, a lot of mysterious things happened, and we don’t even know how they happened. I feel like, could this be the mysterious force of the East?” a Middle Eastern hostage said.

“Don’t ask me, right now I still can’t forget what happened that night! They all went crazy, like they were possessed or something! They just started killing each other, it was terrifying!” an Asian billionaire recounted.

And when the police wanted to go and ask Lin Chuxue to come for the investigation, all the guests that were on board pressured the police not to.

They were truly scared, too scared. That sense of “whoever tries to hurt me will all die” had been haunting them since then like a nightmare, an unforgettable nightmare.

Chapter 552: Half Angel, Half Devil (Part Two)

– At the Burj Al Arab hotel –

Lin Chuxue just came back from shopping with Haber’s wife, and she began ranting in confusion, “Oh my god, I can’t take it anymore. All those club members we met on the cruise all came to try to hand me their business cards, wanting me to go to their house to be a guest. The gifts they sent me were worth more than I’ve received in my whole life, they are so passionate that I could hardly handle them…”

Xu Cheng smiled and didn’t say anything.

“Why are you still smiling?” Lin Chuxue glared at him, “I asked Haber’s wife, and she said it was because of what happened last night. Didn’t I just get scared and say something random to those [email protected]? Who knew they would begin killing each other afterward… There are already a few versions of the story now, some were even saying that I was too charming and the entire mercenary group killed each other just to get me.”

Xu Cheng chuckled and said, “Isn’t that right? My wife is beautiful and charming enough for people to fight with their lives on the line for.”

“Of course not good! Now, every time I see those people that were on the ship, they all look at me like I’m a god or something, and they were just a step away from kneeling and praying to me.” Lin Chuxue didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. “Just look at all the gifts they gave me, I won’t use most of them anyway. Today, I just walked around the mall, and the moment I looked at anything, no matter the price, someone would quickly have packaged it in minutes and delivered it to my car. They seem to know me even better than my man.”

Xu Cheng casually said, “You said those things last night, and then those mercenaries all died after. Who wouldn’t be afraid of you after that? You just stood there calmly, and no one was able to kill you. Even the bullet that was shot at you stopped mid-air. After this whole thing, you even fainted. So in their story’s version, it was because you channeled some sorcery and exhausted yourself and that’s why you fainted.”

Lin Chuxue suddenly stared right into Xu Cheng’s eyes.

Xu Cheng felt her mischievous gaze and met her eyes. “Why are you staring at me?”

Lin Chuxue asked with a faint smile, “Strange. Didn’t you jump into the ocean and was absent from the scene? Why are you talking like you were there or something?”

Xu Cheng muttered in his heart, Fack, I was too careless and forgot about that.

Lin Chuxue looked at Xu Cheng like a detective that just found out about the truth and smiled. “Just tell me, what happened? Many people want to know what really happened, and that includes me. I even asked Mrs. Haber to check for the surveillance on the cruise for me. All systems were shut off, and it coincidently went down when the mercenaries started dying. If the ship was really haunted by a ghost, why would the ghost bother with the surveillance?”

Xu Cheng really wanted to give himself a slap. It seemed like he couldn’t just do the deed and not get found out anymore.

“Haber was just telling me what had happened earlier,” Xu Cheng smiled and said.

“So fake.” Lin Chuxue looked at him and pretended to be discontent. “Why are you trying to show off your acting skills in front of me? There was a clear pause in your change of expression and tone the moment I exposed you. I’ve won the Best Actress award, I know how fake your acting was just now. Also, I’ve already asked Haber. Ever since the event, he was busy trying to take care of the loose ends. He wanted to see you, but you had been avoiding him the whole time. Can I ask how you managed to hear the story from him?”

Xu Cheng was speechless.

Lin Chuxue: “I know it must’ve been you that saved me. But I still hope that when you do things for me in the future, you won’t hide it from me.”

Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. “Chuxue, would you be afraid if I’m a murderous demon? Sometimes, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, I just want to leave a good impression in your heart and accompany you by your side with my angel side. As for the demon side, I hope you never get to see it.”

Lin Chuxue reached out and grabbed onto Xu Cheng’s hand and said sincerely “I also hope that, whether it’s the demon or the angel side of you, you won’t hide anything from me.”

Xu Cheng sighed. “Yes, they were all killed by me. Just like what you said to them, anyone that dares to hurt you will all die.”

But for some things, it was better to just leave it as a supernatural mystery event.
