Rumor has it that the young master has a hidden illness

Uncle?

Lin Lulu could hardly believe her own judgment.

Why is this uncle here?

She slightly loosened her lips and cautiously looked at the face of the man who was holding her. When the man's face appeared before her, she blinked to make sure it was really him and not her hallucination. Tears streamed down her face, but she was afraid that they would blur her vision and he would disappear, replaced by that lewd man again. So she had to hold back her tears tightly.

Keep wiping.

Keep wiping.

She gripped him tightly with all her might, staring at him intently, as if only when her gaze met his could she truly feel saved.

"Uncle! I...I..."

She couldn't utter a complete sentence, but Jing Sichen heard a fear that bordered on despair.

Seeing her so afraid to even cry, he clenched his fist, a destructive rage rising within him, ready to explode. He pulled away and held her tightly in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Lulu, be good, I'm here, you don't need to be afraid." He whispered words of comfort to her.

I racked my brains, and these were the only sentences I could think of.

At that moment, he hated himself.

Not only were they late, but they didn't even know how to offer a word of comfort.

Damn it!

Has he wasted all these years?

He gently patted her trembling back and repeated, "Don't be afraid."

Those two simple words slowly warmed Lin Lulu's fearful, anxious, and even desperate heart.

Taking several deep breaths, she looked at the tears and snot on his suit, all her doing, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

She lowered her head and whispered, "I...I wasn't scared." Her voice was soft and sweet.

A large crowd had gathered around them, speculating about what had happened.

Feeling scrutinized by so many people, Lin Lulu trembled, tightened her clothes, and snuggled closer to Jing Sichen's arms.

Jing Sichen looked down at the woman who refused to admit defeat, but her actions betrayed her.

A faint smile curved her lips, then she squinted and glared at the lewd man who dared to bully her.

At this moment, the lewd man had already been subdued by the bodyguards. He struggled desperately, but to no avail.

"Jing Sichen, if you have the guts, kill me! You've ruined my family, I don't want to live anymore! Haha! I'm not at a loss! Just now, I raped your wife!" the lewd man shouted.

"No!" Lin Lulu exclaimed, "I jumped from the building! He didn't touch me! Really! You have to believe me!"

What should I do?

Is this sleazy man planning to completely ruin her reputation?

She subconsciously looked at Jing Sichen. His face was gloomy and cold, his dark eyes were filled with a suffocating chill, and his aura was fierce and domineering, which made her tremble again.

People around them pointed and whispered, while those who didn't know the truth were skeptical.

And what about the uncle?

Will he believe her?

Suddenly remembering her affair with the masked man, her face turned pale.

He immediately stepped out of Jing Sichen's arms, and in an instant, he felt like a criminal walking in the polar regions, without direction, without companionship, only the boundless cold scouring him.

Seeing Lin Lulu's sudden rejection, Jing Sichen frowned, grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, his voice harsh: "You mean, you were forced to jump off the building?" His rough tone couldn't hide his concern.

Lin Lulu was stunned.

She thought his anger stemmed from what the lewd man had said.

So, it turns out he was feeling sorry for her?

"Uncle." Overwhelmed by doubt, her emotions completely dictated her reason. "You...believe me?"

His eyes gleamed with a tenderness directed solely at her. "Who gave you permission to ask such a pointless question?"

Lin Lulu burst into laughter through her tears.

It feels so good to be trusted!

Those around immediately changed their tune.

"I believe Mrs. Kyo! She's absolutely innocent!"

"How dare this man slander Mrs. Jing's reputation! He must not be let off lightly!"

"Young Master Jing really spoils Mrs. Jing! I'm so envious!"

"Wow, Jing Shao is this handsome?"

"The rumors have really gone nowhere!"

"Is Jing Shao the kind of person who's practically blessed by God?"

"I suddenly realized that he let the rumors spread so that Mrs. Jing would feel at ease, that no one coveted him and would not compete with her for him."

"I'm so envious of Mrs. Kyo!"

"What a perfect couple!"

Listening to everyone's chatter, Lin Lulu opened her eyes wide and her cheeks flushed.

Aren't they getting a little too far-fetched?

She glanced furtively at Jing Sichen, who was also looking at her. She quickly looked away, pretending to be busy, and avoided eye contact with him.

He forcefully forbade her to escape, demanding, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

"no."

My foot just hurts a little.

He nodded, took her hand, and when his gaze fell on the lewd man, the tenderness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a surge of fury, as if he were carrying knives, ready to stab him again and again.

His gaze narrowed slightly as he said, "You just said I caused your family's ruin? You must be mistaken. Aren't you still alive?"

Upon hearing this, fear welled up in the lewd man's eyes, but he still spoke arrogantly: "Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

"I won't kill them," Jing Sichen said calmly. "If they die, it won't be fun anymore."

"What...what do you want?" the lewd man asked.

Although he worked under Jing Sichen, he had never met him in person.

However, they were somewhat familiar with Jing Sichen's methods.

If they fall into Jing Sichen's hands, it will be worse than death!

"Telling you in advance won't have the desired effect of instilling fear," Jing Sichen said very slowly. "You have a very long life ahead of you. Learn it one step at a time; consider that a gift from me!"

His undisguised killing intent instantly stunned everyone present.

Lin Lulu looked at Jing Sichen. Although he was still as strong and arrogant as ever, she felt that something was off about him, perhaps because they were too close.

His face was pale, and he seemed somewhat tired amidst his intense anger.

What's wrong with him?

Are you sick?

The sleazy man panicked and quickly said, "Young Master Jing, don't you have any questions for me? Who ordered me to do this? I can make amends! Young Master Jing, I know I was wrong, really! I don't know what possessed me to want revenge on you. You didn't do anything wrong to me; I ruined my own life. I know I was wrong, please, give me another chance!"

"You shouldn't have touched her." Jing Sichen waved his hand, and the bodyguard immediately pushed the lewd man away.

The sleazy man was still shouting, "I was forced! Young Master Jing! If you forgive me just this once, I can tell you who really ordered me! It's not Lin Ao'ao, but someone else! Lin Ao'ao was just a pawn!"

However, Jing Sichen had absolutely no desire to listen.

"I never treat traitors kindly. If you want to know anything, you can look it up yourself." His tone was arrogant and unrestrained.

Then, my gaze fell on the grass not far away, where I saw a mask.

Pure white.
