<h4>Chapter 434: Unrestrained Speech</h4>


    In fact, if Christine hadn''t introduced herself, everyone present might have doubted their eyes, wondering why the world''s hottest star in film, music, and television would suddenly appear here, dressed like this, holding a heavy machine gun, killing a mercenary, and greeting them.


    But once Christine confirmed her identity, everyone felt even more at a loss. This kind of encounter had reached an unbelievable level!


    Who would imagine that one day, a famous international star from television woulde to your home and save you from thugs?


    It was something even dreams couldn''t conjure!


    "It looks like you all ran into some trouble," Christine said in perfect Mandarin, with no hint that she was a superstar from the States. She seemedpletely unfazed by the bizarre expressions on everyone''s faces. Instead, she looked with interest at the chaotic courtyard, seemingly unbothered by the bloodshed. "Hmm, it seems someone ising to help you."


    As soon as she finished speaking, two figures leaped over the courtyard wall like shes of lightning. After a gleam of cold light flickered in front of two stunned Burmese soldiers, blood spurted from their throats!


    The figures were none other than Maureen, the captain of the Sea Eagle squad, and Fanny, another uninjured female team member. Unfortunately, they had arrivedte despite their swift response to Yang Chen''s message.


    After effortlessly shing the two mercenaries with their military knives, Maureen anxiously looked inside the house. If the family of Hades were harmed, the consequences would be beyond calction.


    Seeing Lin Ruoxi and the others unharmed but shaken, Maureen breathed a sigh of relief.


    However, when Maureen saw Christine standing there, smiling and holding a heavy machine gun, his face was filled with astonishment.


    Ignoring the remaining seven or eight Burmese soldiers in the courtyard, Maureen immediately knelt on one knee, lowering his proud head respectfully toward Christine.


    Fanny, seeing the captain''s strange behavior, looked over in confusion. When she saw Christine, her face also showed fear, and she quickly knelt down.


    "It''s an honor to see you here, Your Excellency," Maureen said solemnly.


    Christine, unconcerned, pursed her sexy lips. "There are still people here. Are you not going to kill them?"


    Maureen''s expression turned serious. He replied loudly, "Yes, ma''am!" Then, exchanging a nce with Fanny, they moved like two swift whirlwinds. In a sh, they were among the remaining Burmese mercenaries, who, having lost their leader, tried to resist but couldn''t keep up with their speed.


    In no time, they had killed all the remaining mercenaries.


    Even though these mercenaries were considered high-level in South Asia, to the Sea Eagles, they were just rookies, not even on the level of proper agents, let alone elite mercenaries. That''s why they didn''t even bother using their guns.


    Gao Guoxiong, already drenched in cold sweat, waspletely terrified. When Maureen lifted him by the cor like a piece of cargo and threw him in front of everyone, Gao Guoxiong was so scared that he soiled himself, trembling and looking pitifully at everyone without daring to speak.


    Despite his determination to either seed or die trying, the brutal ughter he had witnessed had left him paralyzed with fear.


    "Your Excellency, do you want this man killed?" Maureen asked Christine. To be honest, he found the idea of killing Gao Guoxiong rather distasteful.


    Christine, with a yful smile, looked at Lin Ruoxi and the others. "This must be the guy who hired these mercenaries. Do you think he should be killed?"


    Rose, Guo Xuehua, Yuan Hewei, and the others were still in a daze, unable to process the sudden drastic change in the situation. It was Lin Ruoxi, always calm andposed, who first gathered her thoughts and responded to Christine. "Hand him over to the police. There''s no point in killing him."


    Christine''s beautiful sapphire blue eyes showed a hint of amusement and admiration. As she waved her hand to Maureen, she asked with a mixture of curiosity and certainty, "Are you Yang Chen''s wife?"


    While Christine was studying her, Lin Ruoxi was naturally observing Christine as well. She roughly understood why Christine was here. After all, the Jade Starpetition was about to begin, and as the ultimate judge and main highlight, Christine would indeed be in Yanxia soon. However, she had not expected the superstar to appear in such a dramatic way.


    As a world-renowned superstar, Christine''s beauty was even more striking in person than on screen. Although Lin Ruoxi didn''t care much about appearances, she had never thought any woman could rival her in looks. Yet now, she realized that Christine, despite the difference in Eastern and Western beauty standards, was indeed perfect.


    "My name is Lin Ruoxi. It''s quite an unexpected first meeting, Miss Christine," Lin Ruoxi said, stepping forward and extending her delicate hand, her expression still as cold and aloof as ever.


    Christine smiled sweetly and shook Lin Ruoxi''s hand. "Why don''t you smile? It''s such a lovely afternoon, and you and your family have safely survived this crisis."


    "There''s nothing to smile about," Lin Ruoxi replied, ncing at Rose, who was still catching her breath, clearly exhausted from the brief skirmish.


    Christine seemed to think of something else and giggled. "Miss Lin, do you think I''m one of your husband''s lovers? Don''t wrong me. I''m not that rude guy''s woman. Although he has many women, I''m not one of them. So, if your displeasure towards me is based on that assumption, you can rest assured."


    "Outspoken" was definitely a surprising habit for this diva, and Christine, proud of her statement, only then noticed the awkward expressions on everyone''s faces.


    Especially Rose, who had just calmed down a bit, now blushing like a ripe apple. Guo Xuehua smiled somewhat embarrassedly at Yuan Hewei and Yang Jieyu, feeling uneasy that even an international superstar knew about her son''s romantic escapades. As for Aunt Wang and Zhenxiu, still in shock, they barely reacted.


    "I... I''ll leave now," Rose said, feeling her legs go weak if she stayed any longer. She rushed outside, gave her subordinates a signal to clean up the mess, and quickly headed home.


    Guo Xuehua and Lin Ruoxi both looked puzzled. They hadn''t expected that the people who had suddenly rushed in to save them were Rose''s subordinates. Remembering how Yang Jieyu had addressed Rose as "President Situ," they both decided to find out more about Rose''s identity.


    Gao Guoxiong was soon taken away by the Red Thorn Society members, and the bodies in the courtyard were dragged away, with someone beginning to clean up the signs of the fight.


    After a short while, a white BMW screeched to a halt at the gate in a cloud of dust. Yang Chen got out of the car and walked into the chaotic courtyard. Seeing Lin Ruoxi and the others safe despite the copsed wall, he sighed in relief. However, spotting Christine winking at him, he immediately showed a hint of a headache on his face, walking over with a wry smile.


    "Why did you suddenlye without any prior notice?" he asked.


    "If I hadn''te early, your beautiful wife might have been in trouble," Christine said, her boot yfully tapping on De Lun''s corpse.


    Seeing Yang Chen''s confusion, Guo Xuehua stepped forward and recounted what had just happened.


    After listening, Yang Chen''s expression darkened. ncing at the corpses in the courtyard, he roughly estimated what had happened and felt a pang of fear. He hadn''t expected Gao Guoxiong to hire such a group, and Rose indeed couldn''t have handled them alone.


    He had been too careless. The time spent talking with Cai Ning at the vi had almost led to an irreparable tragedy. Not only would his family have been harmed, but even Rose could have perished.


    Fortunately, heaven had still favored him, sparing him a lifetime of regret. But this incident served as a lesson.


    Looking at Christine, Yang Chen felt a bit grateful.


    "No need to thank me, or I''ll get conceited," Christine said seriously.


    Yang Chen shook his head, helpless against this woman''s yful nature that always seemed at odds with her appearance. He then turned to Guo Xuehua and asked, "Where''s Rose? Is she okay?"


    "She just ran back. I don''t know if anything''s wrong. Maybe you should go check on her?" Guo Xuehua said with concern, ignoring Rose''s sensitive status.


    Yang Chen hesitated, then nced at Lin Ruoxi.


    Lin Ruoxi avoided Yang Chen''s gaze and coolly said to Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, I have work to handle at thepany this afternoon. Please call someone to clean and fix the house. Don''t wait for me for dinner; I''ll be home veryte."


    After saying this, Lin Ruoxi bid farewell to Guo Xuehua and left directly.


    Everyone present was clearly aware that Lin Ruoxi was avoiding something. Guo Xuehua sighed with some difficulty; she had initially been fully supportive of Lin Ruoxi, believing that harmony at home was paramount. However, after witnessing the recent incident, she found herself caught in a dilemma.


    "So that woman is Yang Chen''s lover? Wow, was the lover trying to protect his wife just now? How touching," Christine immediately understood the situation. Her eyes were full of gossip as she eximed in delight.


    "Can''t you say less?" Yang Chen was evidently familiar with this woman''s unrestrained speech. Christine, feigning innocence, walked out of the room, tossing the heavy machine gun she was holding aside. "Alright, alright, as you people in Yanxia say, ''every family has its difficulties.'' I just didn''t expect that the man who never treated women as women would one day have a headache over women. I found it quite amusing."


    "I told you to say less," Yang Chen''s tone became much harsher, almost as if he wanted to rush over and start a fight with this woman.


    Christineughed mischievously and said to Mo Lin and Fanny, who were looking quite exasperated, "See, your idol can''t do anything about me."


    After speaking, Christine disappeared like the wind. Besides Yang Chen, no one knew how she had left.
