Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.

Chu Yinmei stumbled and crawled to Madam Chu's side.

"Mother, save me! He said he's going to kill us!"

Madam Chu was also terrified out of her wits.

This wasn't the first time either she or Chu Yinmei had witnessed Jin Wuchen kill someone.

That time was even more terrifying than this time.

Madam Chu placed her hopes on Chu Songyuan.

As she watched the number of people standing in the courtyard dwindle, she grew increasingly panicked.

"Master, he's your son-in-law! Please plead with him to spare Mei'er."

This was the first time Chu Songyuan had ever seen such a scene. If he hadn't been holding onto the door frame, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

The black-clad commander saw Jin Wuchen's actions and killed them one by one, but it was merely an expression of his displeasure and anger.

He's already decided to kill me; nothing I say will make a difference.

In this person's hands, he couldn't even see his moves clearly.

He didn't expect to survive, but he had to get the message out.

Soon, out of the hundreds of people, only a few remained standing.

"Young Master Jin, aren't you curious why we're making such a big fuss to find her?"

The leader in black spoke again.

Jin Wuchen stopped what he was doing, knowing that he was deliberately stalling for time, but still gestured for him to continue.

He could tell that Jin Wuchen was determined to protect this person.

Therefore, he will definitely be interested in what he has to say.

"I heard it's because there's a lock that requires a highly skilled pipa player to open."

Jin Wuchen asked, "Where is the lock?"

The black-clad commander shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Chu Luo couldn't help but ask, "What are those bells you're holding for?"

Jin Wuchen looked at the bronze bell on the ground.

"If you are the person we are looking for, the bells on the pipa will ring."

Chu Luo felt something was wrong; when she played the first piece, these people didn't take out bells to check.

He was deliberately giving me the runaround.

"So they all have to be arrested. Besides us, there are others coming later. Whatever the Regent wants to do will succeed."

Jin Wuchen dealt with him quickly.

As the black-clad leader lay dying, Jin Wuchen whispered in his ear, "You've stalled for time; all the messages that have been sent out have been intercepted by me."

The black-clad commander died with his eyes wide open in disbelief upon hearing the news.

Jin Wuchen instructed, "Seventeen, clean it up."

He washed his hands before walking to Chu Luo's side.

"Alright, open your eyes."

Chu Luo looked at the courtyard in front of her. Apart from some traces of blood, the nearly one hundred corpses were gone.

It was as if Jin Wuchen hadn't killed anyone just now.

Jin Wuchen raised his hand, intending to wipe the blood from her face.

Seeing Chu Luo instinctively and very slightly dodge backward, he withdrew his raised hand.

Chu Luo didn't do it on purpose; it's just that he had killed many people using this method.

Even though I know it's to protect her, but...

Chu Luo looked at Jin Wuchen with some guilt, "I..."

Jin Wuchen smiled and shook his head. "No need to say anything, I understand."

He wouldn't let her see it because he was afraid of this.

But it was a little too late to say it.

Chu Luo woke up her mother, who had been drugged by her.

When Jin Wuchen first came to kill, he was terrified when he saw Lu Yifu, who was committing murder, for the first time.

Chu Luo was afraid that her mother would be frightened, and also afraid that she would be afraid of Jin Wuchen in the future.

So they used a calming drug to make her mother fall into a deep sleep.

When Lu Yifu woke up, she saw her handsome, gentle, and well-mannered son-in-law.

"Greetings, Mother. I am Chu Luo's husband, Jin Wuchen."

Jin Wuchen bowed respectfully to her.

"Get up quickly!" Lu Yifu looked at Jin Wuchen, her delight growing with each glance.

She was very satisfied with Jin Wuchen, her son-in-law.

Jin Wuchen had someone bring a bronze mirror and held it up for Chu Luo.

Let Chu Luo treat the injuries on her face herself.

Chu Luo told him that he had already taken medicine to stop the bleeding and relieve the pain from his injuries, and that they did not need to be treated for the time being.

The way he held up the mirror was extremely natural, as if he had done it hundreds or thousands of times.

Their actions easily conjure up images of Jin Wuchen accompanying Chu Luo as she applies makeup and puts on cosmetics in front of a mirror.

Jin Wuchen actually wanted to draw Chu Luo's eyebrows, but he never had the chance.

If this scene happened to any man, Chu Yinmei would be driven mad with jealousy.

But when the person was Jin Wuchen, she couldn't care less about jealousy and only felt terrified.

"Good son-in-law, come in and rest," Chu Songyuan called to Jin Wuchen with a fawning expression.

He was going to say, "You must be tired. Come in and rest."

But the thought that he had just killed someone made him immediately forget that sentence.

He had assumed that Jin Wuchen was so polite and courteous to Lu Yifu, his concubine.

He should show even more respect to his father-in-law.

This son-in-law is a bit ruthless, but as long as he's not ruthless towards me, it's not a bad thing.

Anyone who offends him can have Jin Wuchen help him deal with it.

He called out, but Jin Wuchen did not respond.

He thought Jin Wuchen hadn't heard him, so he took a few more steps forward and called out again.

Jin Wuchen heard this but did not respond.

He looked at Chu Luo and his mother-in-law, pondering whether he should let the two of them take a nap first.

He'll wake them up after he's dealt with the rest of the Chu family.

Chu Luo met his thoughtful gaze and sensed something was wrong.

Ask, "What are you thinking about?"

Jin Wuchen smiled and said, "I was thinking, should I let you and your mother-in-law rest for a bit? I want to deal with a few troublesome things."

Now, only members of the Chu family remain in the courtyard.

These are the things he needs to deal with.

Chu Luo shook her head. "No need to rest. Let's take this opportunity to settle some things today."

"Okay," Jin Wuchen agreed to her request.

Chu Luo helped Lu Yifu walk over.

"Luo'er, quickly invite Wuchen inside to sit down."

Chu Songyuan acted as if nothing had happened, like a loving father calling out to his beloved daughter.

Chu Luo paused in her steps.

"What's wrong?"

Jin Wuchen asked softly, thinking that she had aggravated her wound while walking.

Chu Luo looked at Chu Songyuan and said, "Hearing him talk like that makes me feel a little disgusted."

The sound, neither too loud nor too soft, reached Chu Songyuan's ears.

"Then I'll have someone pull out his tongue?" Jin Wuchen asked calmly.

Chu Luo watched, and he stopped doing it himself.

"Son-in-law, no, no, Chu Luo is just joking."

Seeing that he was speaking normally again, Chu Luo said, "Wait a moment."

Chu Songyuan was taken aback; Chu Luo actually said to wait a moment…

Chu Luo demanded, "Who trapped my mother in the yard with a swarm of snakes?"

Chu Songyuan knew that his first wife had been bullying Chu Luo, and that Chu Luo wouldn't believe anything he said.

So he said, "It was those men in black who did it."

By attributing the matter to a dead person, there's no way to verify it.

"My mother was your wife or concubine. As a man, you just let others persecute her?"

Chu Luo continued asking questions as he spoke.

"They kill without blinking an eye; even with a knife to their throat, there's nothing I can do."

Chu Songyuan continued to argue, saying that he had to thank Jin Wuchen for killing everyone.

"Who inflicted the injuries on my mother?"

“This…” Chu Songyuan looked at his wife and Chu Yinmei, pondering how to answer.

Chu Luo naturally understood.

"There were some misunderstandings before, but this time they were really forced to do it by those people."

Chu Songyuan thought for a long time before coming up with this reason.

"Really?" Chu Luo asked, glancing at her mother's expression.

"Yes, last time, I took your mother out for a trip."

"After you got Boss Wang Youshi and the others to give us some pointers, we didn't dare do anything that could be misunderstood."

Chu Songyuan knew from the last incident that Chu Luo was hard-hearted and would never let the matter rest.

Therefore, he wanted to create a rift between Jin Wuchen and Chu Luo.

This is the only way to protect Madam Chu and Chu Yinmei.

He wanted Jin Wuchen to know that Chu Luo was still relying on Wang Youshi and his group, and that she had an unusual relationship with his enemies.

She disregarded the bond between father and daughter, so he would disregard it too.
