Chapter 228 Injuries and Departures
```
Su Chen made a phone call to Shadow Guard Number 4, and immediately took out his cell phone and dialed another number.
"Nether King, I didn't expect you to still be alive?!"
A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone, but the person on the line was clearly very surprised by the call, although the laughter masked a lot.
"How could I possibly die if you, Sea King, are still breathing?"
Su Chen replied unreservedly:
"Cut the crap, I need your help with something right now."
"I'm all ears for help, but the price?"
"Leave the money matters to God of Wealth, I need you to arrange a boat to pick me up near the South Seas, I'll probably arrive tomorrow."
"Alright, no problem!"
"Remember, all electronic systems on the boat must be completely removed."
"Nether King, seems like you're in quite a bit of trouble!"
Sea King teased with a chuckling tone, removal of electronic systems is naturally for the fear of being tracked.
"That's none of your business!"
Having said that, Su Chen hung up the call.
He wasn't the slightest bit worried about Sea King trying any tricks, unless Sea King himself had a death wish.
After finishing the call, Su Chen took a deep breath for a full minute, calming his emotions completely before driving back to the villa.
As he pushed the door open, an icy voice came out.
"Where have you been all day?"
Lin Ruoxue gave him a sidelong glance, her beautiful eyes brimming with a hint of anger.
This jerk, on his first day at the PR department, disappeared for most of it. Has he no sense of decorum?
"Oh, that, I went with a friend to the police station today."
"The police station? What did you go there for?"
Ordinary people tend to get nervous upon hearing about the police station, including Lin Ruoxue, of course.
Once she heard Su Chen visited the police station, she immediately forgot her anger and asked hastily.
"My friend's father's corpse was found in the river, so the police station notified her to come down. She was a bit scared to go alone, so she asked me to accompany her."
Su Chen was telling the truth, and seeing Lin Ruoxue's expression soften slightly, he continued:
Lin Ruoxue asked, looking at Su Chen with suspicion.
"Yeah, I need to go out for a while."
Su Chen felt that he was increasingly reluctant to leave this home. In the past, if he were alone, he would have just walked out without so many second thoughts.
"Well, go then. Remember to come back early."
Lin Ruoxue thought it was something significant, but when she heard that Su Chen was just stepping out for a while, she was considerably relieved.
"Don't go flirting around. Be honest."
Listening to Lin Ruoxue's instructions, Su Chen found it a bit amusing, yet felt a different kind of warmth.
"I'm going to Africa."
Su Chen said, somewhat hesitant to look at Lin Ruoxue's face, not knowing why. Maybe he feared seeing her look worried.
"What?!"
Lin Ruoxue suddenly stood up from the sofa, not even putting on her slippers.
Her beautiful eyes stared at Su Chen, and her heart was in turmoil.
"Africa?"
Her cherry lips muttered in disbelief.

"Yes."
Su Chen looked at Lin Ruoxue with difficulty and nodded.
"Why?"
Lin Ruoxue couldn't understand why he suddenly needed to go to Africa in the middle of the night.
"Something came up over there that I have to attend to. It was a last-minute decision."
"Is it absolutely necessary for you to go?"
In Lin Ruoxue's mind, the mention of Africa brought thoughts of disease, plagues, poverty, backwardness, savagery, wars, and other words related to danger.
"Absolutely necessary!"
Although it broke his heart, Su Chen still firmly nodded.
"How long will you be gone?"
Lin Ruoxue's voice trembled as she asked, knowing that she couldn't stop him. Tears began to well up in her beautiful eyes.
Yet she tried hard to keep them from falling...
