My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

Chapter 167 None of them are wizards

When Tang Ming returned home, Lin Ruoyu had just finished showering and was holding a towel in her arms, staring blankly at Tang Ming at the door.

Tang Ming loosened his tie and looked at her strangely, "Why didn't you reply to my messages? And what were those two messages you sent earlier?"

Lin Ruoyu took out her phone and said indifferently, "I went to take a shower. Didn't I call you earlier? Then I went home, but you haven't come back or sent any messages after a while—so I was just asking."

Tang Ming seemed to sense a hint of embarrassment in her tone. Perhaps the previous message was just a complaint against him. Tang Ming stopped doubting and stepped forward to take the towel to dry Lin Ruoyu's hair.

"Just ask me directly why I'm coming back, no need to beat around the bush."

Lin Ruoyu was happy to know that Tang was interpreting things in a different, "reasonable" way, but Tang Ming's sudden gentleness made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Have they stopped arguing? Or has Tang Ming remembered everything? Or is something on his mind?

Tang Ming then told her the answer.

"We're packing up and leaving now. We'll stay at the Garden Hotel for two days!"

"What?" Lin Ruoyu's eyes widened. "Wait, wait, what do you mean?"

She knew tonight was going to be unsettling, but why was Tang Ming in such a hurry?

Tang Ming sat down and gulped down a large glass of water. He hadn't had a drop of water in his mouth since finishing the wine.

"Hiss—" As soon as he sat down on the sofa, Tang Ming clutched his cramping waist, his face contorted in pain.

"What's wrong with you—kidney pain?" Lin Ruoyu sat down beside him, looking at the spot Tang Ming was clutching, her lips twitching slightly.

"I bumped into something, it's nothing." Tang Ming really wanted to kill Xing Yu. The effect of the lightning even penetrated his body. Although it didn't cause any damage, the alien substance and flesh were completely bonded together, so the pain would be shared to some extent.

"Be careful, I told you not to drink. Should I take a look?" Lin Ruoyu felt she should show concern for him and leaned over to pull at his clothes.

"Ah? No need, no need. It's just a muscle injury; you can't tell from the outside." Tang Ming grabbed his wife's small hand and subtly moved it away.

"Okay, so what do you mean by leaving now?"

Tang Ming realized there was more to the story and looked at Lin Ruoyu seriously, saying, "There's something I need to be honest with you about. The company I work for has some business and connections with the government, and now a terrorist organization is targeting our employees. Whether they're wizards or ordinary people, they've all been attacked—"

"The company is going to shut down. There are many details that I, as an ordinary employee, don't understand. Anyway, the higher-ups said we should gather our families together for protection. Terrorists are very cruel. If we fall into their hands, we're finished."

After hearing Tang Ming's explanation, Lin Ruoyu's expression turned somewhat strange. She already knew about Tang Ming's company's background, and now she could only ask helplessly, "How did we offend those people? Doesn't your company sell insurance? Why would they send people to attack us indiscriminately?!"

Tang Ming continued to pat the water dry from Lin Ruoyu's hair with a towel. He coughed and shook his head: "I don't know either. The leaders suddenly contacted us and told us to evacuate quickly. I saw some photos; some colleagues were indeed arrested."

Tang Ming took out his phone and showed Lin Ruoyu several "carefully selected" photos, which were taken by the anti-demon support team. The people in the pictures were all employees of Anmeng Insurance.

"Is it that serious?" Lin Ruoyu covered her mouth in fear.

"So hurry up and change your clothes and pack your things. I've already sent my family over," Tang Ming urged, standing up and walking towards the bedroom. He only needed to bring two sets of clothes to change into.

"Do we have to stay in the hotel the whole time once we get there?" Lin Ruoyu asked hesitantly.

"We have to stay in the room, where official wizards will be on guard—we don't know where the terrorists are yet, and the blockade can only be lifted after the threat to the Demon Department is eliminated!" Tang Ming explained truthfully.

"Ah—why don't we stay home? This area is quite safe, and the apartment has a magic medium installed. We can just stay home and not go out, right?"

Lin Ruoyu hesitated. She didn't want to move to an unfamiliar place and be "held captive." Magical girls need to go out to work at any time!

"No! This is too dangerous. You saw the pictures of those symbiotes. Neither of us are wizards. If they come after us, we'll just be waiting to die!"

Ordinary employees could have stayed home, relying on pre-arranged media to buy time and wait for rescue.

But Tang Ming is different; the cult will send its entire force to hunt him down. From the moment the three thugs "disappeared," the apartment was no longer safe.

"I—" Lin Ruoyu avoided Tang Ming's gaze, somewhat indignant, "Isn't it a bit much to make such a fuss? You suddenly came back and expect us to run out in the middle of the night? Isn't it even more unsafe on the road?"

Tang Ming couldn't worry about anything else. He put his arm around Lin Ruoyu's shoulder, his hand tightening slightly. "Don't worry, someone's already downstairs to pick you up. Lin Ruoyu, this is very urgent, can you please stop being so childish?"

Lin Ruoyu pointed at herself, her mouth opening and closing repeatedly, feeling utterly helpless and unable to express her bitterness.

"But—I am afraid—" Lin Ruoyu still wanted to struggle.

"You feel more familiar and safer at home, right? — I understand."

Tang Ming hugged Lin Ruoyu. He could sense her panic and helplessness. At this moment, he should step forward and give his wife a sense of security.

"Don't worry, everything will pass. In just a few days, our lives will return to normal, and our home will still be here intact—if anyone were home, this building might be smashed to pieces."

Tang Ming looked down at Lin Ruoyu's head and chuckled softly. After a few seconds, his eyes darted left and right, and he withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly.

Lin Ruoyu couldn't see his expression, but after thinking it over, she realized she had no reason to go against Tang Ming.

Continuing to stalemate could indeed be dangerous. She wasn't the kind of woman who couldn't think straight, and she had to know when to stop before Tang Ming showed any signs of impatience.

Yes, that's what the book teaches too —

"You smell of alcohol all over your body, even though you just took a shower—" Lin Ruoyu complained, then followed her into the bedroom to pack their things.

Both of them worked quickly, taking out their belongings and stuffing them all into a suitcase. Tang Ming also remembered fire safety, turning off the gas and water.

Although he didn't have high hopes for the house's integrity in the coming days—

"Thank you for your help."

The two went downstairs, where an official wizard was waiting by the car. Zeng Que had mobilized the Anti-Demon Department's system, requesting a wizard escort under the guise of arranging the placement of important personnel.

Tang Ming got into the car carrying a briefcase and a large suitcase, while Lin Ruoyu, carrying a small bag, politely nodded in greeting.
