"The secret room is completely devoid of light," Butler Wang clenched his hands tightly. "I've been inside before, and it's suffocating. I couldn't last even an hour."
"To be honest, Miss could have vented her frustrations on the staff, but she didn’t want to hurt us, so she locked herself in there instead."
Lin Xuan asked in a low voice, "Butler Wang, when did this start?" Butler Wang's words pierced his heart like needles, and the pain in his chest was unbearable.
What had Su Hua been through?
"Ever since Miss returned to the Su Family, I’ve been by her side, serving her. From that time on, she’s been like this—aloof, unwilling to get close to anyone. To me, she seemed like an emotionless shell," Butler Wang's eyes gradually grew moist.
"Master Lin, it was only after you appeared that I realized Miss could cry, laugh, and get angry. All her emotions were tied to you. You could say that you are her everything, Master Lin. Even if you see her darker side, I beg you to be understanding."
This was a precautionary warning for Lin Xuan.
To prevent him from being frightened or repulsed if he saw her violent, murderous side.
Lin Xuan clenched his fists. "Butler Wang, I need to go in and be with her." He couldn’t let her stay in there alone.
Butler Wang shook his head. "Master Lin, Miss doesn’t recognize anyone right now. If you go in, she might hurt you. Miss has ordered us to protect you."
If Master Lin were injured, Miss would be filled with guilt and pain once she regained her senses.
"Butler, can you really bear to let her stay in that room, harming herself?" Lin Xuan said gravely.
Butler Wang fell silent. Jiang Qing’s words came to mind—perhaps Master Lin could try to untangle the knots in Miss’s heart.
"Master Lin, I’ll let you in, but on one condition: the bodyguards must ensure your safety."
Butler Wang made a call, and soon over a dozen burly bodyguards dressed in black arrived.
They were all towering figures, former mercenaries with formidable skills.
Not only that, Butler Wang also called for a doctor, who brought sedatives, just in case.
Butler Wang knew that Master Lin absolutely could not be harmed—otherwise, Miss wouldn’t survive either.
At that moment, Su Hua stood in the center of the secret room.
Her eyes were blood-red, and her vision was filled with a haze of crimson. Her mind was consumed by a single thought—kill, kill everyone...
"Click." The door lock turned.
Su Hua’s blood-red eyes shifted toward the entrance, her gaze filled with a rolling wave of murderous intent.
Lin Xuan froze when he saw Su Hua in the room.
The woman before him was still stunningly beautiful, but her eyes had turned blood-red. Her hands hung limply at her sides, blood dripping from her knuckles, and the walls were covered in countless bloody smears.
An aura of gloom and terror emanated from her.
"Master Lin, you should leave," Butler Wang urged anxiously. The state Miss was in now was dangerous.
"There’s nothing to be afraid of," Lin Xuan smiled.
He had seen firsthand how she had tortured Qin Ruoyao and Lin Li to death. Her current state didn’t frighten him.
Besides, he had already died once. To him, death wasn’t something to fear.
Lin Xuan stepped forward, and all the bodyguards remained on high alert, ready to act at any moment.
"Su Hua, it’s me, your Ah Xuan. Do you recognize me?"
"Su Hua, don’t be afraid."
"We’re all on your side. No one will hurt you."
Lin Xuan took step after step toward Su Hua.
Su Hua was completely lost in her own world. To her, he was just another target to kill.
She stared at the man before her, her eyes locking onto him like a predator on its prey.
"No," Butler Wang shook his head. "You can’t go any further."
"Master Lin, come back!" Butler Wang shouted in desperation.
Lin Xuan seemed not to hear Butler Wang’s words and continued to move forward without hesitation.
Su Hua licked her lips.
He’s here.
How fearless.
She took a light step forward, and the bodyguards’ hearts leapt into their throats. Master Lin must not be harmed!
In a flash, the bodyguards positioned themselves in front of Su Hua, shielding Lin Xuan behind them.
Seeing this, Su Hua’s excitement only grew.
More and more people were coming.
Her gaze, previously casual, now turned sharp and menacing.
"Bang—"
"Bang bang—"
"Bang bang bang—"
Some of the bodyguards were slammed into the wall, the sound of ribs cracking echoing through the room.
In less than ten minutes, they were all knocked down.
These former mercenaries were no match for Su Hua. They were utterly defenseless against her.
The bloodlust in Su Hua’s eyes hadn’t faded in the slightest—it had only intensified.
"This is bad. Miss has completely lost control!" Butler Wang said nervously. No matter how many bodyguards they brought now, it would be useless.
In her current state, no one could stand against her.
In the blink of an eye, Su Hua appeared in front of Lin Xuan, leaving no one any time to react.
"How handsome," Su Hua’s fingertip traced Lin Xuan’s face. "But no matter how good-looking you are, you still have to die."
Su Hua’s hand closed around Lin Xuan’s throat.
She licked her lips. "You’d make a perfect specimen. Or maybe I’ll put you in a glass coffin, like a display piece."
Lin Xuan: "..." Did Su Hua have some obsession with specimens? Even in her deranged state, she was still thinking about this.
This scene made Butler Wang break out in a cold sweat.
"Doctor!"
"Bodyguards!"
Butler Wang shouted.
The bodyguards, hearing his command, prepared to swarm in, giving the doctor a chance to administer the sedative!
"Stand down!" Lin Xuan barked.
Butler Wang frowned.
Lin Xuan looked at the woman before him, her entire being radiating killing intent. "I believe she won’t really hurt me."
Butler Wang gritted his teeth and could only signal for everyone to stop.
"You all deserve to die," Su Hua’s eyes were filled with bloodlust, and her grip tightened with every passing second.
Lin Xuan’s breath was being squeezed out of him inch by inch.
"Su Hua..." Lin Xuan struggled to speak. "You must take care of yourself after this."
A tear slipped from the corner of his eye and landed on Su Hua’s hand. She frowned. Why did seeing him cry make her heart ache so much? He was her target, someone who deserved to die.
