Waiting outside for Lin Chuan wasn''t just Xia Qingqing, there was also another heavyweight figure.


    Director Zhang Biao.


    Dressed in a  shirt, Director Zhang approached Lin Chuan wh he came out and patted him on the shoulder with a chuckle, "Lin Chuan, I knew you''d be fine."


    Lin Chuan was startled to see Director Zhang, "I didn''t expect to rm you, Director Zhang."


    "You''re a talt and a hero of Anling. The fact that you''ve be shak up this time means I must find the person behind this and give you an exnation."


    As Director Zhang led Lin Chuan to the police car, he gave Lin Chuan a dose of reassurance.


    Lin Chuan''s heart stirred, and he nodded in thanks, "Thank you for your concern, Director Zhang."


    One by one, the police cars began to leave East Street.


    A few officers stayed behind to handle the subsequt matters.


    Apanied personally by Director Zhang and Hu Daqiang, Lin Chuan returned to the Anling Police Station to give a full statemt on the incidt''s evts.


    Afterpleting his statemt, Director Zhang offered to arrange 4-hour protection for Lin Chuan.


    Lin Chuan declined.


    The reason for refusal was simple.


    If the instigator behind the sces couldn''t get to Lin Chuan, they would target those close to him instead. Lin Chuan would actually prefer theye after him!


    If it wasn''t a top-notch assassin, Lin Chuan wouldn''t care.


    For example, the t thugs tonight didn''t put particr pressure on Lin Chuan.


    At that momt, his only concern was the Little Landy by his side.


    He was worried that with their overwhelming numbers, someone might slip past him and harm the Little Landy, something he absolutely wouldn''t allow to happ!


    Night had fall, and like ink, the darkness quietly spread over the tire city.


    All was quiet, the clouds above had dispersed, and moonlight spilled onto the g, draping Anling in a faint veil of silver. On the road, Sh Qianqian was driving the Mercedes GLC with Xia Qingqing, taking Lin Chuan and the Little Landy back to Happiness Community.


    A police car followed them.


    Sitting in the car with the window down, Lin Chuan let the cool eving breeze, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, wash over his face as he took a deep breath.


    "You two also be careful on your way back," he said as he got out of the car at the trance of Happiness Community and gave Sh Qianqian and Xia Qingqing a word of warning.


    The two police officer frids both nodded with a smile, "Don''t worry."


    Lin Chuan watched as Sh and Xia left.


    Inside Happiness Community, the streetlights shone lonely, casting a warm yellow light and outlining Lin Chuan''s figure, with the Little Landy beside him, tightly clutching his arm.


    "It''s okay now," Lin Chuan said softly, patting the back of the Little Landy''s hand in reassurance.


    He knew that ev though he wasn''t worried about the t thugs, the Little Landy beside him was surely worried.


    "I''m not afraid," said the Little Landy with a guine smile, hugging Lin Chuan''s arm, feeling inexplicably secure.


    Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow, "You''re that brave, huh? You wer''t scared of all those people?"


    "With you here, I''m not afraid," the Little Landy said, lifting her face and affectionately nuzzling Lin Chuan''s arm like a kitt.


    Laughter bubbled on Lin Chuan''s face, "Time to go to sleep."


    "I sleep alone..." The Little Landy showed a hint of trepidation on her face.


    "Don''t worry, I''m here," Lin Chuan reassured her.


    "Ah?" The Little Landy was startled.


    "Let''s go," said Lin Chuan with a smile, pulling the Little Landy up to the rted apartmt on the sixth floor.


    The Little Landy''s mouth pursed ever so slightly, a blush of embarrassmt across her pretty face, but her rich theoretical knowledge gave her a great deal of courage, "Chairman, I brought a few special outfits."


    Lin Chuan was tak aback for a momt but thughed, "I only meant for you to sleep in my room. You won''t be in danger, I didn''t mean for you to sleep with me. What are you thinking?"


    The Little Landy pouted slightly, looking a bit disappointed, "I thought we''d sleep together."


    "Well, that''s not urgt," Lin Chuan replied with the corner of his mouth twitching.


    Blinking yfully, the Little Landy teased, "Is there anything more urgt than that?"
