Lin Ruyan naturally understood this; even with Xiao Chen’s exceptional abilities, such a feat could never have been accomplished so easily. Moreover, seeing the General’s state at the time—as if he were on the brink of death at any second—it was already a remarkable achievement for Xiao Chen to have brought him back from the edge.
In truth, when Lin Ruyan had accompanied Xiao Chen to the General’s Estate and witnessed that scene, she had feared all was truly lost.
"To be honest, when I went with you to the General’s Estate and saw the General lying on the bed, hovering between life and death, I thought he was as good as gone. I didn't think even you could save him. You have no idea how worried I was; I was terrified that the General's Wife might blame us for the outcome."
