The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!-Chapter 171 Why Are You Looking at Me Like That

"David?" Fu Xing thought for a moment before he said, "The student who tried to assassinate you? While Theresa’s Chief Lady deserved to die, David deserved the same fate. In the end, it was his own inability to resist temptation that led him astray, so he should have been prepared to be used as a pawn."

"I know."

Lin Fu’s spirits were low, "That’s why I’ve never felt guilty for his death. But what I can’t stand is the person who really orchestrated all this feeling smug. Why should anyone else be pawns, be ants that they can use and trample on at will?"

"Sigh..." Fu Xing let out a slight sigh, "How could you think in such a way?"

"Ah?" Lin Fu didn’t understand, looking at him with confusion, "Is my thinking so strange? Shouldn’t normal people think like this?"

"Of course not."

Fu Xing sat up, still unaccustomed to discussing serious matters while lying in bed. His long legs stretched out elegantly, his arms draped casually over them, his deep eyes gazing at Lin Fu for a long time.

Lin Fu felt unsettled by his stare.

"I’m really curious about the environment you grew up in. How can planet NGC4479 be so backward to have fostered such naïve and immature thoughts in you?"

"Hey! You can say what you want, but why insult my hometown along with it? That’s not fair."

Though NGC4479 wasn’t her true hometown, it was the first place she had come to after her transmigration. Since it was the original host’s hometown and she could no longer return to her true home, it had become her second home.

And she was fiercely protective of her own.

"Alright! My mistake, I used the wrong words," Fu Xing apologized good-naturedly.

He suddenly realized what made Lin Fu different from everyone else.

Equality!

In her heart, everyone was equal, which was why she felt injustice over David’s death.

Lin Fu eyed him suspiciously, wondering to herself how his temper had become so mild.

"Normal people wouldn’t be as angry as you are, and they might even hate David. After all, he first slandered you and, failing that, even attempted to kill you. Your survival wasn’t due to his kindness but because you were more skilled. So, the one who died was him, and he deserved it."

Lin Fu regarded Fu Xing with a puzzled look.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Fu Xing, has anyone ever told you that you’re quite protective?" Lin Fu suddenly smiled genuinely, her expression clean and pure, "I killed Lady Nora, and you said she deserved to die. I killed David and you say he deserved it too. This isn’t good; you should at least criticize me a little."

Fu Xing’s expression darkened, "They deserved to die."

After saying that, he lay down again, closed his eyes, and said no more.

"..."

Was he angry?

That didn’t make sense!

How could he just stop talking mid-conversation when she had so much she wanted to say? Wasn’t he just teasing her?

Also, did he even know that Lina had been secretly helping her gather and investigate information?

Lady Nora was the one manipulating David and Jason from behind the scenes, and it was she who had directed David’s later attempt on her life.

Lina was just starting out, with no useful network of resources, but she had spent a considerable amount of time locating David’s brother.

David’s brother was being hunted down, in a predicament similar to Lina’s own situation.

The tactics hadn’t changed; it was still murder to silence.

Had it not been for Lina arriving in time, David’s brother would certainly not have survived.
