121: Chapter 121 Danger Approaches

Having received Lin Chuge's reply, Feng Rui left happily.

The living room of the Lin household fell into silence once more.

Lin Baixuan and Lin Wanwan, who had just returned, had also learned about Feng Rui from their parents.

The group looked at each other, countless words on the tips of their tongues.

But because Lin Xiao was present, they couldn't speak plainly, so they could only exchange glances, as if communicating via telepathy.

Finally, Lin Qingshan couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up, "For the weekend, your mother and I will go along too. It just so happens we haven't been to a concert in a long time, right? Heh, hehe."

Hearing such a clumsy excuse, Su Xiumei rolled her eyes at Lin Qingshan, but could only go along with it, saying, "Yes, it has been a long time."

"I, I'll go too!" Lin Ran raised her hand immediately.

"Then I'll go too." Lin Baixuan was worried that if Feng Rui intentionally targeted Lin Chuge in order to gain the "favor of saving a life," she, as a doctor, would be able to help if she were on the scene.

Finally, Lin Wanwan also responded weakly, "I, I want to go too..."

Lin Chuge looked at this family of hers, feeling both touched and angry.

She intended to go so that Feng Rui would completely give up those malicious intentions; otherwise, if it failed this time, there would be another attempt.

But her family, knowing full well they might encounter danger, why were they joining in the fun?

If she went alone, she would be the only target, and she would be able to react in time regardless of what happened.

If the whole family went, heaven knows who Feng Rui might target?

Lin Chuge was silent for a moment, a flash of coldness in her eyes, "Dad, I remember you have an important meeting this weekend that you must attend."

Lin Qingshan was stunned and said sheepishly, "But, it can be postponed..."

But before he could finish, Lin Chuge glared at him.

Fine, the weekend meeting was indeed very important to him. Changing the time rashly would have a huge impact on the company.

"And Mom, I remember you've already made plans to play cards with several aunts."

Lin Chuge's tone toward her mother was slightly softer, but it still brooked no argument.

Su Xiumei pursed her lips and didn't say a word for a long time.

"And the second eldest, I remember you have a shift at the Hospital this weekend."

"Number Five, please, you're a celebrity. If you get spotted, it'll be nothing but trouble!"

"Number Six, you just signed up for piano lessons last month."

"..." In short, no one was allowed to go!

Lin Chuge's authority in this house was almost the same as that of The Lin Couple. Sometimes, even The Lin Couple had to listen to their eldest daughter.

They actually all knew that not going and causing trouble was the greatest help they could provide their daughter. But as family, they still couldn't help but worry.

"Ahem, well, Sis, since you didn't mention me, then I can go, right..." In the silence, Lin Xiao slowly poked his head out.

Lin Chuge intended to refuse, but Lin Xiao was usually quite idle at home, so there really wasn't a good excuse.

At this moment, Lin Xiao's inner voice sounded once again. It was just a short sentence. [Hey! Finally, it's my turn to shine! Everyone else is busy and can't go, so let me be the one to save my poor eldest sister!]

Everyone was speechless once again. The initially heavy atmosphere was broken by these confident words. Could it be that things weren't as dangerous as they had imagined?

...

On the weekend, Lin Chuge brought Lin Xiao and arrived at the Concert Hall as promised.

This performance was not large in scale, accommodating only a few hundred people; it was a charity performance.

Feng Rui had never been interested in such events, but since she wanted to build a reputation in the country and establish a kind and beautiful image, she had to participate in more charity events.

Moreover, Feng Rui's violin skills were truly mediocre. If it weren't for the Lin family's intentional or unintentional help over the years, based on her own talent and effort, she probably wouldn't even be able to afford a decent violin, let alone study abroad or join various internationally renowned orchestras.

Even with such investment and packaging, her professional ability was still lacking, and she was criticized by many in the domestic circle. It was precisely because of this that Feng Rui gradually realized that she probably wouldn't be able to stay on this path for much longer.

Even if she hadn't been diagnosed with a heart condition, she would still need to find a way out for herself before she completely failed. And the Lin family was the retreat she had carefully selected.

Lin Chuge and Lin Xiao's seats were very close to the front, and they could clearly see every move Feng Rui made during the performance. Lin Chuge's attention remained highly focused. Although she knew Lin Xiao was prepared, she was still a bit nervous.

Lin Xiao was different; he was just slouching in his chair. Perhaps because Feng Rui's playing was just too boring, he even took a short nap in the middle.

It wasn't until the second half that he slowly sat up straight and took out his phone to send a few messages.

At this moment, the audience's attention was on the stage, and no one noticed the rustling, dragging sounds coming from both sides of the Concert Hall.

Just as the second half was halfway through, the accident finally happened. At the lighting fixtures on both sides of the stage, electric sparks suddenly flashed. The sparks fell onto the carpet and spread instantly!

"Ah! There's a fire!" "Run!" "..." Exclamations erupted from the audience seating area.

In the panic, people were pushing and shoving; it was impossible to get out for a while. And the flames, as if guided, spread rapidly toward the center. The place where Lin Chuge and Lin Xiao were sitting was the first to bear the brunt!

Logically speaking, this type of Concert Hall used fireproof carpets, so it shouldn't have burned so quickly. It was clearly done on purpose by someone!
