Chapter 407 The gap will determine your life
What she was most worried about happened. The people from the Xuanyuan family finally found this place.
Xuanyuan Ge's face was terribly gloomy. He turned to Shen Hanxing and said, "Take them through the secret passage. I'll hold them back."
"So what are you going to do?"
Chen Hanxing was anxious, "Xuanyuan Qing brought a lot of people with him, they might have weapons in their hands."
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Xuanyuan Ge's gaze fell on Han Lingcui with unquestionable determination.
"Lingcui, believe me this time, I won't let anything happen to you."
Han Lingcui watched his back as he turned and walked towards the door, his heart in a mess.
This man had been her faith throughout her youth, and he was also the one who hurt her the most.
But his back standing in front of her at this moment reminded her of that rainy night many years ago, when he stood in front of her like this and protected her from the family's troubles.
"Auntie, what's going on? Is uncle in danger?"
Xunxun's voice was tearful, and her little hands grasped Han Lingcui's fingers.
Han Lingcui's heart felt like it was pricked by a needle, and tears blurred his vision.
She watched Xuanyuan Pavilion open the door and walk into the rain, his back straight and resolute. Suddenly, she shouted, "Xuanyuan Pavilion! Be careful!"
Xuanyuan Ge paused, without looking back, but just raised his hand and waved, as if to say "don't worry".
Outside the door, Xuanyuan Qing surrounded them with a dozen bodyguards, each holding a stick and looking aggressive.
"Xuanyuan Ge, you are here after all!" He felt even more proud when he saw Xuanyuan Ge was alone.
"Where are Han Lingcui and the child? Hand them over to me, and I can put in a good word for you in front of the old man."
Xuanyuan Ge moved his wrist, raindrops dripped down his hair, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
"Xuanyuan Qing, just try and touch them."
"Just try it!" Xuanyuan Qing waved his hand, "Go ahead! Catch him!"
The bodyguards rushed forward.
Xuanyuan Ge practiced fighting in his early years, and his skills are far superior to these bodyguards.
He dodged the first man's fist by leaning sideways, and hit the man's ribs with his elbow. Then he grabbed the second man's wrist and twisted it with his backhand. With a "click", the man fell to the ground with a scream of pain.
The rain was getting heavier and the muddy ground made the fight more difficult.
Xuanyuan Ge fought one against ten and quickly gained the upper hand, but the other side was outnumbered and his arm was still cut. Blood mixed with rain water flowed down and dyed his white shirt red.
"Xuanyuan Pavilion, you won't be able to hold on for much longer!"
Xuanyuan Qing stood aside and sneered, "Hand over the child if you know what's good for you, or I'll let you walk out today!"
Xuanyuan Ge wiped the rain off his face, his eyes sharp as a knife: "As long as I'm here, don't even think about touching a hair on their head."
Just then, a sirens sounded from far away.
Xuanyuan Qing's expression changed: "Why are there police?"
Shen Hanxing's voice came from inside the house: "I called the police and reported that someone broke in illegally and injured someone with a weapon."
Xuanyuan Qing was shocked and angry. Looking at the police car getting closer and closer, he knew that it would be too late if he didn't leave.
He glared at Xuanyuan Ge fiercely: "You are so cruel! Let's go!"
The bodyguards helped their injured companions into the car in a panic and soon disappeared in the rain.
The sirens stopped in front of the wooden house, and the police got out of the car to inquire about the situation. Xuanyuan Ge briefly explained that it was a family dispute that had been resolved.
After the police left, the rain gradually subsided.
Xuanyuan Ge dragged his injured arm back to the wooden house. As soon as he entered, he saw Han Lingcui standing at the door with a medicine box and red eyes.
"Sit down." Her voice was still stiff, but she took the initiative to pull his arm over and gently wiped the wound with a cotton swab dipped in iodine.
When the iodine touched the wound, Xuanyuan Ge frowned in pain but didn't say a word.
He looked at Han Lingcui's drooping eyebrows and tears hanging on her long eyelashes, and his heart felt warm and bitter.
Han Lingcui's tone was filled with anger, "Xuanyuan Qing is a lunatic. If you confront him head-on, what if something goes wrong?"
"I can't let him hurt you and Xunxun."
Xuanyuan Ge looked at her and said seriously, "Lingcui, I was wrong five years ago. I shouldn't have let you go alone. I shouldn't have let you..."
"Don't mention five years ago!"
Han Lingcui's hand trembled and the cotton swab fell to the ground.
She stood up, her back facing him, her voice choked with sobs, "There's no relationship between you and me anymore. What happened five years ago is in the past. I won't pursue it, and I hope you won't be stuck in the past!"
Xuanyuan Ge's heart felt like it was being crushed.
He walked forward and gently hugged her from behind: "I'm sorry, Lingcui, I'm sorry... I know it's too late to say anything now, but I promise that I will never let you suffer injustice again."
Han Lingcui's body froze, and she couldn't help but let her tears fall, hitting the back of his hand, burning hot.
Xunxun poked her head out of the bedroom and saw the two hugging each other, blinking curiously.
Han Lingcui hurriedly wiped away her tears, turned around, and smiled at Xunxun with forced composure: "Xunxun, go to sleep quickly. The rain will stop at dawn."
Xuanyuan Ge watched Xunxun walk back to the bedroom and said softly, "Lingcui, come back to the old house with me. I'm here and no one will dare to bully you."
Han Lingcui immediately shook his head: "I won't go! The Xuanyuan family is a cage, I will never set foot in it again in my life!"
"But Xuanyuan Qing won't let it go."
Chen Hanxing walked over and said, "Since he didn't get any evidence today, he will definitely think of other ways. His purpose in doing this is probably to expose you and Xunxun to the Xuanyuan family's sight. By then, the Xuanyuan family will not allow you to exist."
Han Lingcui still believed this.
After all, five years ago, she was so unlucky and even nearly died because of the huge gap between her and the Xuanyuan family!
Xuanyuan Ge nodded.
"I have a villa on the outskirts of the city with excellent security. Let's stay there for a few days. Once I've finished dealing with my family affairs, we'll..."
"us?"
Han Lingcui interrupted him with a complicated look in his eyes, "Xuanyuange, don't forget, we broke up a long time ago. Xunxun is my son and has nothing to do with you."
"How can it be okay?"
Xuanyuan Ge looked at her, his eyes full of pain, "He is my son, the eldest grandson of the Xuanyuan family! I must be responsible for him!"
"Responsible?" Han Lingcui laughed self-deprecatingly. "You're talking about responsibility now? Where were you five years ago? Where were you when I needed you? Xuanyuan Pavilion, your responsibility is too cheap. I don't need it!"
The two were in a stalemate when Xuanyuan Ge's phone suddenly rang. It was his assistant calling.
He picked up the phone, listened to a few words, and his expression instantly became solemn: "I understand, I'll go back right away."
"What's wrong?" Han Lingcui asked.
"The old man knows about it and asked me to return to the old house immediately."
Xuanyuan Ge held the phone tightly, his brows furrowed, "It must be Xuanyuan Qing who filed the complaint."
Chen Hanxing frowned: "If you go back now, won't you be walking into a trap? The old man is furious right now, and if Xuanyuan Qing adds fuel to the fire, you will suffer."
"I have to go back."
Xuanyuan Ge looked at Han Lingcui and said, "If I don't go back, they will point the finger at you. Lingcui, trust me, wait for me to come back."
He walked to the bedroom door, gently opened it a crack, and looked at Xunxun's sleeping little face with gentle eyes.
Then he turned, picked up his umbrella, and walked quickly into the rain. Han Lingcui chased him to the door and watched his car disappear into the night, feeling empty inside.
"Will he be all right?" she murmured.
Chen Hanxing patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Xuanyuan Pavilion won't be defeated so easily. As for us, we need to pack up and move quickly. Xuanyuan Qing might send someone over."
