Beauty and the Bodyguard

After creating more distance, Lin Yi settled on a towering tree that had a lot of forestry growth! Lin Yi knew that the armed forces might be able to track his blood, so he had to get that wound on his leg treated!

This level of gun wound injury wasn’t a problem for Lin Yi, but the bullet was still inside. After jumping around for a long time, the wound was more severe than it was initially.

Lin Yi set the young girl on the side of the tree trunk. The trunk was very solid and there was enough space on the tree to make it safe. Even if the young girl didn’t know martial arts, she wouldn’t easily fall off.

The young girl didn’t say anything, she didn’t think that Lin Yi would really help her escape from danger. She was deeply grateful to Lin Yi in her heart, it seemed like he was really different from her followers. The young girl previously thought that if she stayed behind, she could negotiate with the armed forces for a way to live, but if they kept running then they would definitely be killed!

But from the looks of it, her fears didn’t happen. She was able to sigh out in relief. She sincerely said, “Thank you!”

Lin Yi was nonchalant about the young girl’s gratitude. The young girl was pretty, but in his eyes, she was the employer. No matter how attractive the employer, it was meaningless. Lin Yi wouldn’t develop any feelings for her nor will she change his values!

Lin Yi stood up and started taking off his pants…

The young girl was very grateful towards Lin Yi, but when she saw him take off his pants it freaked her out, “You! What are you doing?”

The young girl didn’t think that she had escaped danger only to get into more danger!

Could it be that he thought that since he had saved her, then he could bring himself onto her? The young girl’s face looked pale. She thought that he was a good person, but it didn’t seem true…

Lin Yi continued to take off his pants and disregard the girl.

“You… Don’t be like that. If you continue, I will jump off from the tree!” The young girl felt a sense of urgency. She was able to escape from the mouths of wolves, only to fall into the lion’s mouth. What shitty luck!

“My leg is injured, can’t you see? I need to treat it!” Lin Yi pointed out to his injury. He was annoyed at being questioned all the time.

“Oh?” The young girl didn’t know how to react to Lin Yi’s words. She looked at the area where he pointed at. That was where she noticed Lin Yi’s injury on his pants, which was soaked in blood! The girl started panicking, “You were hit? How severe is it?”

“If you didn’t move, then how else would I have gotten shot?” Lin Yi’s eyes rolled. In a rude tone, he commanded, “Don’t bother me, I need to extract the bullet!”

“Oh…” The young girl felt regret. It was all because of her that Lin Yi to get shot! Now that she realized it, she felt apologetic, “Sorry, do you want me to help you?”

“No need,” Lin Yi replied plainly. From the side of his boots, he pulled out a small knife. He dug into his injury to pull out the bullet. Then he poured a small bottle of powder on the injury.

The young girl was watching the whole time, she wanted to say something but she heard the sound of engine motor.

“Don’t speak!” Lin Yi waved his hands, “They caught up to us.”

The young girl nodded. She instantly focused to eliminate the sound of her breath.

The car just casually patrolled around, then it drove off in a different direction. They didn’t notice anything peculiar, so they didn’t get close to their tree!

“They left…” the young girl carefully spoke up.

“Yes,” Lin Yi responded, as he pulled up his pants.

“Then, should we go back?” the young girl asked.

“Back where? From what I can guess, all your followers have been arrested. It is without a doubt that they will use those followers as hostage to negotiate with the local government. They will request a large sum as a reward too,” Lin Yi replied, “If you go back now, you will just be locked up.”

“Then… We will just remain here, in the tree?” the young girl had a strange expression.

“We can’t go back temporarily,” Lin Yi shook her head.

“Can’t go back? Didn’t they just leave?” the young girl hesitated.

“They will come back,” Lin Yi replied.

When the young girl heard Lin Yi’s warning, it didn’t seem possible. However, she still nodded, because it seemed like Lin Yi wouldn’t hurt her.

As expected, after ten minutes, a jeep returned. After patrolling around for awhile, it parked by a nearby tree.

The young girl widen her eyes. Lin Yi’s prediction was spot on, these people were back to kill her. If she was by herself, she would’ve jumped off from the safety of the tree and walked around. Then, she would’ve been discovered immediately!

“Escaped to where? Could they have jumped off the cliff?”A voice rang out from the jeep, seems like it was sent from the armed forces. He didn’t have a good expression as he continued to survey the area, “Keep searching! See if you find the pretty girl!”

“Leader, I suspect that they jumped off the cliff. There are no footprints anywhere!” The submachine gunner carefully spoke.

“I ordered you to search, so you continue searching!” The armed forces leader wasn’t willing to accept that, “If they are dead, then I want to see the corpse! Bring that girl back to me. When I’m done messing with her, you can have her!”

“Yes!” The submachine gunner suddenly got excited by the incentive, “I will look at the bottom of the cliff!”

The young girl’s face paled. She was embarrassed. She didn’t think that these people would be so vulgar. If it weren’t for Lin Yi by her side, her innocence would’ve been ruined.

Lin Yi wasn’t wrong. Trying to negotiate with armored terrorists wasn’t possible. In their eyes, there was no room for negotiations!

The young girl was able to take a deep breath. Her followers that she thought were loyal to her, were all just ass-kissers. At the most critical moment, they abandoned her.

“We can go now,” Lin Yi watched the jeep drive away. The warning from his jade pendant disappeared. This would mean that they had a brief window of opportunity to leave the area.

“Okay…” The young girl obediently obeyed.

Lin Yi didn’t get off from the tree, instead they continued to jump from tree to tree. This area was still being patrolled by the armed forces, so it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn’t come back for a closer inspection. To avoid anymore trouble, Lin Yi had to make his move fast.

The injury on his leg was starting to heal while he was jumping between tree branches. Since he was an early phase Golden Class master, it wasn’t a hard task.

Lin Yi went to pick up the young girl, “Sorry about this, I need to carry you again,”
