The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!-Chapter 218: Became a Little Brother for Real

No one likes being secretly stalked by someone intent on attacking them.

Lin Fu wasn’t foolish and immediately understood why Fu Yang had shown up in time.

This guy must have been tracking her the moment she left Star Port, only to be preempted by another group that moved faster.

After realizing this, Lin Fu unapologetically slapped Fu Yang’s handsome cheek with the palm of her hand and said arrogantly, "Thinking of ambushing me, just you? Go home and practice some more. I won’t show any mercy just because you’re the cousin of Fu Xing. If you’re seeking death, I’ll grant it without hesitation."

"Hisss!"

Fu Yang sharply inhaled a breath of cool air, not feeling embarrassed or trivializing the matter. He sensed that Lin Fu was truly angry and not just threatening him.

The murderous aura coming from this woman and the temperament she displayed in the restaurant were starkly different.

"No, that’s not it."

Fu Yang immediately explained, "I indeed followed you and indeed intended to do something, but absolutely not to ambush you. Even if you gave me ten thousand guts, I wouldn’t dare try."

"Really?"

Lin Fu looked him up and down skeptically, "Well then! Considering you helped me out at a critical moment just now, I’ll choose to believe you for now."

She then let go and returned to sit cross-legged next to Celia, placing her combat knife across her knees, while continuing to watch Fu Yang.

Fu Yang stood up to stretch his sore joints and shook his head with a wry smile.

He had embarrassed himself quite spectacularly this time.

If word got out, he would lose face completely.

Why was the combat capability and the ferocity of his cousin so overwhelming? Her performance earlier was composed, shrewd like a veteran hunter who’s licked blood off the knife, nothing like a Military Academy freshman.

She was nothing like the person described in the files.

Could it be that just three months of solitary training could really make such a big difference?

"Out with it! Don’t beat around the bush," Lin Fu commanded, with the domineering presence of the sister-in-law of a gang leader or a big brother.

Fu Yang let out a wry laugh, knowing that he was completely at a disadvantage after the recent ordeal. If he couldn’t fairly defeat Lin Fu just once in the future, he’d always be inferior to her.

Really reduced to a little brother.

Sigh! What was he really after?

"I had to be sure whether it was you who killed Ding Xuan. She was my father’s adopted daughter, and we can’t just let her death go unaccounted for," Fu Yang stated bluntly without hesitation.

"What did Fu Xing tell you?" Lin Fu asked coolly.

"The murderer was hired and has since been silenced. Following the trail behind the scenes, it led to Zone 23," Fu Yang pointed down, "right here. I’ve been here to investigate many times before. Initially, I suspected you were behind it, and I wasn’t going to rest until I found out personally."

"Have you found any leads now?"

"Not yet, but after tonight’s events, I’ve temporarily suspended my suspicions of you."

"Why?"

"Because you don’t seem like the type to do sneaky, backstabbing attacks. You... although rather ruthless, wouldn’t stoop to dishonorable assassinations." As he said this, Fu Yang showed a hint of admiration.

"You and your cousin are alike; you’re cut from the same cloth. Maybe you’ll do bad things, maybe you’ll kill people, but you won’t do it in secrecy without owning up to it."

Fu Yang stood up, his back to Lin Fu as he looked down at the city’s night lights.

"My cousin told our father before that if it was really you who killed Ding Xuan, so be it, there’s no need to hide it. I didn’t believe it before—I thought that was just my cousin making excuses for you. He’s always been too protective of his own, possessing an overwhelming dominance no one else could match, let alone you."
