Villain Is Bodyguard of Heroine’s Poisonous Stepmother

Chapter 160: Suspicion of Chen Luo

Chen Luo asked Lin Xiaoya to leave first because he had something to discuss with Gu Wanyu, and it wasn’t suitable for her to hear.

“Why did you let her go? You’re not planning to develop feelings for her, are you?” Gu Wanyu asked, somewhat jealously.

If he was really planning to cultivate a relationship, wouldn’t that mean Chen Luo had fallen for Lin Xiaoya? She had intended to give Lin Xiaoya to Chen Luo as a gift, but did she want her gift to be liked by Chen Luo?

“The meat at hand can always be eaten anytime, there’s no rush. I’m not that desperate yet,” Chen Luo said as he pulled Gu Wanyu into his arms.

“I wanted to talk to you about Su Han,” he said.

“Su Han? That guy in rags who can fight a bit? Is he so important to you? Is it because he has a marriage arrangement with Lin Xiaoya that you’re paying attention to him?”

“No, it’s not that. You were planning to deal with him today, right?” Chen Luo asked Gu Wanyu.

Gu Wanrou nodded. “When I saw him, I felt a disgust, and since he had hit the Li family’s bodyguards, I really wanted to take action against him.”

“Don’t try to deal with him in the future. You’re not his match,” Chen Luo said.

He had come out precisely because he saw Gu Wanyu was thinking about taking action against Su Han. If she really did, she would definitely be at a disadvantage. Her current strength was at most at the peak of Ming Jin, which was far inferior to Su Han’s strength.

“Is he that powerful?” Gu Wanyu was surprised.

She was well aware of her own strength, and she thought she was beyond human capabilities. Yet, Su Han was even more powerful than her.

“Exactly, so don’t confront him directly. Also, be cautious of his tricks. Besides his strength, he has exceptional medical skills that can save or kill people subtly.”

Don’t assume the protagonist is righteous and won’t play dirty. They aren’t necessarily the good guys.

“Also, put as much pressure on Su Han as possible. He’s likely to be acquitted for the murder, but let’s not make it too easy for him.”

Chen Luo didn’t believe that framing Su Han for murder would keep him down for good, especially since Su Han’s master had extensive connections. He wasn’t sure how formidable those connections were, but he knew it wouldn’t be hard to get Su Han out.

“I’ll do my best to keep him locked up. Murder isn’t a trivial matter,” Gu Wanyu said with a cold laugh.

“Then do your best. If you actually manage to get him sentenced to ten or eight years, I’ll give you a substantial reward.”

Though he said this, Chen Luo didn’t really believe Gu Wanyu could accomplish it. However, if she did, he wouldn’t be stingy, he’d fulfill any wish she had.

“You are the greatest reward I could ask for. Stay with me tonight, don’t leave.”

Gu Wanyu reached out to embrace Chen Luo.

“By the way, I have something to tell you about Li Qiwen. He’s not content being under my control anymore and wants to break free,” she said.

“He can’t get rid of the gu in his body, so he has to stay obedient for life.”

Chen Luo wasn’t worried about Li Qiwen. The man was too scared to die and posed no threat to him.

“Alright, keep a closer watch on him.”

Although Chen Luo looked down on Li Qiwen, necessary precautions were still essential.

“I’ve been having him watched all along. Once I completely take over everything from the Li family, there will be no need to keep him around.”

If he was willing to quietly remain a puppet, Chen Luo wouldn’t mind letting him live, but he wasn’t complying.

“In the future, you can use Lin Xiaoya to do some work for you, and gradually change her,” Chen Luo suggested to Gu Wanyu.

“I understand, I’ll give her some special training.”

After staying a night at the Li family’s, Chen Luo left. His departure also allowed Lin Xiaoya to breathe a sigh of relief. At least she was safe for now.

Elsewhere, in prison.

“I said I didn’t kill anyone, the force I used couldn’t have killed him.”

“Save it, no one’s going to listen to you. Keep it up and see if I don’t get rough.”

In the same prison cell, a burly man with a broad face impatiently said to Su Han.

“With your scrawny look, a killer? You’re probably just a petty thief,” another man, with his legs propped up and bald-headed, looked disdainfully at Su Han.

“This kid’s a bit shabby, but he sure has soft, tender skin.”

Including Su Han, there were four people in the room, all difficult to deal with, especially the last one who spoke. He was a tattooed man whose leering gaze made Su Han very uncomfortable.

“Kid, come here. These two are not easy to mess with. If you make me comfortable, I’ll keep them off your back, how about that?” the tattooed man called out to Su Han. He liked this kind of delicate and pretty young man, especially seeing them in pain.

“Don’t cause trouble for yourself,” Su Han coldly glanced at the tattooed man.

“Oh wow, quite the temper, I like it. Come here,” the tattooed man walked over quickly, only to be kicked back just as fast.

A chill flashed in Su Han’s eyes. When he had struck earlier, he had already sent a surge of energy into the tattooed man’s body. This energy wouldn’t kill him, but it would cause him pain for a lifetime.

The bald man and the other muscular man were startled. This skinny kid seemed weak but was incredibly tough in action. They felt relieved and lucky at the same time, grateful they hadn’t troubled him, or else they would be the ones wailing on the ground now.

Walking to the bed, Su Han sat down, his expression grim.

He had always suspected something was off about the death of that bodyguard. If he could examine the body, perhaps he could find the cause of death.

The Lin family hadn’t helped Su Han. Although Su Han had cured Lin Chengwang’s illness, Lin Chengwang still needed to recuperate, and Lin Yue and the others wouldn’t risk offending the Li family to save Su Han.

Moreover, the Lin family lacked the means. In terms of connections, the Li family was far stronger than them. So now, the only one who could save Su Han was his master.

“Dr. Su, this is the body of that bodyguard.”

Utilizing his connections, Su Tianche gained access to the bodyguard’s body.

“There are no signs of illness. He didn’t die from disease or from An Jin energy. Could it really be that Han accidentally killed him?”

After his examination, Su Tianche’s brow furrowed deeply. No, the injuries he examined were not fatal, indicating that Su Han had held back.

“Someone is deliberately targeting Su Han.”

Su Tianche’s expression darkened. He was very protective of his own, and even if Su Han had accidentally killed someone, Su Tianche would find a way to save him, especially now that it seemed someone was framing Su Han deliberately.

“Could it be that young man?”

At the time, he wasn’t at the scene, but he had observed some things from the shadows.

That young man who had called the police afterward gave him a strange feeling. It was a special feeling, instinctively telling him that there was something unusual about that young man.

Right now, Chen Luo was unaware that Su Tianche was beginning to suspect him. But even if he were suspected, it wouldn’t matter. They had no evidence, and this blame would fall on Su Han regardless.

“It’s pointless to speculate now. The priority is to get Su Han out.”

After inspecting the body, Su Tianche left but not before intentionally leaving a trace of energy in the body, aimed at helping his disciple escape the blame.

After leaving, Su Tianche immediately contacted a significant figure to call upon past favors.
