Fa Bojin came out of the house with the police officers. The relatives were shocked to see him and the handcuffs around his wrists.

"Bojin, my son!" Xue Lin's second aunt ran forward and hugged Fa Bojin. "My son, why did they handcuff you?"

Fa Bojin is her one and only son. To a mother and a family, a son's existence is like a sun.

All the relatives were quiet and waiting for Fa Bojin to speak up. They also couldn't understand what was happening.

Fa Bojin didn't reply to his mother's question. He silently glared at Xue Lin.

The second aunt turned to look at Xue Lin. "Xue Lin," she asked, "Why did you come out from my son's house? Why is he handcuffed? What did you do to my son?"

Xue Lin replied, "I didn't do anything. It's him who did everything."

"What do you mean by that, Xue Lin?" her first uncle came forward and questioned.

Fa Bojin's father was still in the hospital after losing two sons-in-law. Only the eldest uncle had authority over the whole family.

Xue Lin asked him back, "Why are you all asking me? Ask the man in question."

Inspector Han announced loudly for everyone to hear, "Fa Bojin, you are under arrest for illegal drug business and murdering Yu Banshan and Guan Ming."

"What!"

"No way!"

"Bojin is the killer!"

"I don't believe it!"

"How did this happen?"

Fa Bojin glared at Xue Lin. "You promised that you wouldn't tell anyone."

Xue Lin frowned. She put her arms on the waist and said, "Are you crazy? Why would I want to save someone who tried to kill me? If you killed me, I would have haunted your whole family till you died."

Second aunt listened to their conversation and wailed, "Xue Lin! It's you who ruined my family. Why did you tell the police who is the culprit? You are a monster! A monster! I should have never let you leave. I'll kill you for taking everything from me." She shrieked and ran toward Xue Lin.

Ge Chen blocked Xue Lin from her view by putting her behind him. His eyes turned excessively cold. It made second aunt halt on her steps.

Xue Lin frowned.

Why would she let go of a criminal who tried to kill her?

However, she didn't speak. There was no point in talking anyway. She could already feel everyone's gaze toward her. Some were looking at her with hatred, some were looking at her as if she wasn't any part of their families.

She didn't want to care about them. She didn't wish to bother with them. However, it still hurt. It hurt because she thought of them as her family. They were illiterate and jealous of her all the time. But, the time she spent with them wasn't fake. She cared for them. Her feelings for them were real.

'Forget it, Xue Lin. It's not worth it,' she told herself. 'You are alone. You will always be alone. Try not to be upset when you see no one around you. You have fought alone for a long time. Why are you sad now? You are on the right path. You chose justice. Keep your help high.'

Xue Lin took a deep breath and kept herself calm. She put on a poker face so that no one could understand what she was feeling inside.

Inspector Han said, "Xue Lin, come with us to the police station. We need your corporation."

Xue Lin agreed. She knew that she had to go and she was prepared for it. "Okay, your men need to take the drugs-"

Boom!

She wasn't able to finish her words before a loud sound and a strong wave swept everything.

Xue Lin was thrown away on the ground. Ge Chen strongly held her hand and covered her body with his. He shielded her from the fireballs.

For quite some time, Xue Lin couldn't understand anything. She was able to hear anything. Everything was dark. Her head felt dizzy. She sensed the ground was shaking. She opened her eyes and something went inside her eyes. She squeezed her eyes.

Her hand felt hot. Something warm fell on the back of her hand. She jerked her hand and opened her eyes again. Her eyes felt hot seeing the heavy smoke. She couldn't see anything else. She looked around close to her and saw a burning stone beside her hand. It looked like a small fireball.

She realized that it was that hot thing that fell on her hand. However, she couldn't understand why there was a fireball.

Soon, she got all her senses back and felt strong arms hugging her body and there was someone above her body. Her whole body froze on the spot. She was unable to move.

When everything was over, Ge Chen moved away from Xue Lin and turned her over. Seeing her pale face smudged with dust, he wiped them off. He was relieved that she wasn't injured.

Xue Lin trembled and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing her husband, she relaxed her body.

"Lin, we need to get out of here. Do you understand?" Ge Chen spoke. He carefully looked around.

Xue Lin blinked. She couldn't hear what he was saying. Her ears were still dull. She noted that he was being vigilant but not sure why. She could read his lips and realized what he meant. She slightly nodded.

"Good." Ge Chen helped her to get up.

Her legs were trembling and she forced herself to stand up. She rubbed her eyes and adjusted her eyes in the smoke.

She could see fire and smoke everywhere. Few people around her began to stand up as well.

'Why is everything like that?' she thought and her heart shook seeing blood on some familiar people's faces. She stepped toward them but was held by her husband.

When she looked at him, he shook his head. He took her to a safe spot and let her sit down.

"Lin, can you hear me?" Ge Chen asked worriedly as he checked her top to bottom if she was injured.
