379 You’re Not Allowed to Die! (1/2)

When Soujin returned back to the residence, he could painfully see the mess on the residence. The awful condition of the house made him remembered the time when his father was taken away. He forcefully pushed his feeling down as he moved to search for his wife and along the way, he finished the cleaning up for the assassins.

”Hua'er,” he called out in panic. Where did she go? His feet brought him to the garden where there were a lot of servants busy cleaning up the things there with a woman stood in the middle of the garden.

Jun Hua noticed Soujin's call. She turned her head and looked towards the man behind her with a pained smile, ”Soujin, you have returned.”

”What happened?” Soujin asked carefully.

The girl's eyes shifted downwards as she pointed towards one of the men on the side, ”They suddenly come to assassinate me. You can interrogate them using whatever means you have.”

Soujin stilled for a moment at the cold tone from the girl's voice. Jun Hua was not a cold-blooded person who will kill people without much thought. She might be a general, but she always hated the thought of torturing the prisoners, which was the reason she rarely did that. This was the first time he saw Jun Hua looked like she was ready to go on a killing spree.

He looked around, and his eyes stopped at a certain man on the side. He understood. She was angry because they wounded someone she cared so much right in front of her. Not only angry, it was pure rage. When she nearly lost him and he nearly lost her, he had experienced the same feeling.

”I will do that later. First thing first, let's go inside,” Soujin took Jun Hua's hand slowly. He peered towards her eyes before taking her into his embrace.

The feeling of being in someone's arm made Jun Hua felt comfort. All along, she was wielding the heavy feeling by herself, but now she felt that her weight had lightened. He will protect her and he won't let her experience the bad thing by herself. With that thought, Jun Hua buried her head into Soujin's embrace deeper as if she was determined to take his entire being for herself.

On the side, Lou moved his feet and helped with the cleaning process. During the time Soujin sprinted to the residence, he had done his best to keep up with the other party. He knew that Soujin was desperate, which made him feel that he was rather useless to help him.

”Xia, are there many damages?” He stopped the scurried girl and asked.

Xia shook her head, ”Most of the servants managed to escape on time and the guards protected them. But…”

Lou knew where Xia glanced at. The shameless old man who had given them countless trouble in the past was now riddled in wounds. Even if they felt that the old man was terribly annoying, none of them hoped for the other party death. They genuinely wished for the old man to stay strong during the treatment.

He sighed and helped Xia as his mind wondered about his Master and Mistress. He hoped that they would be able to keep their feeling up and didn't let this incident affected Jun Hua's condition too badly.

Soujin finally took Jun Hua out from his embrace and carried the girl to their residence. He heard a commotion from the front gate and increased his vigilance. It was unneeded, though, because the one who came was his mother.

Qin Shie looked at the two young people in front of her and the mess around them. It was terribly similar to what she had experienced years ago and based on Jun Hua's expression, she knew that the things that happened was not that simple.

”Hua'er, let's have some rest,” Qin Shie beckoned her to come closer.

Jun Hua nodded her head. Soujin put her down carefully and let her followed after Qin Shie. They reached Jun Hua's room, and she lay down on her bed. If she let her emotion get her too badly, she knew that her child will be affected, so she tried to calm herself down.

Qin Shie caressed the girl's hair in silent and hugged the young girl close to her. During these kinds of times, the most important thing was for her to keep the other party company because she knew that no word can help her. Inside her room, Jun Hua finally calmed herself down and instructed her servants' things they had to do to clean up the mess.

Soujin interrogated the man while the servants clean up the courtyard. He glanced to Lou who splashed water to wake up the unconscious assassin. The assassin opened his eyes and looked towards the general in front of him with wide eyes.

”General Soujin,” he hissed.

”You better answer the reason why you attack this residence,” Soujin said bluntly. He wanted the answer as fast as possible.

”Did you really think that I would tell you?” the assassin sneered. He knew that he would have to face the brutal way of Soujin's torture, but he was not afraid. As a trained assassin, he knew very well the way of torturing people that was hurt and long.
