Chapter 1166: Caught

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Stone secretly leaned against the door and took a look. Then, he saw that the people outside were holding guns.

He hurriedly ran back to shake Lin Yi awake and pointed outside the door in a panic.

Lin Yi carefully walked past and took a look, her expression solemn.

Now that Xia Yu was injured and she and Stone did not have the slightest ability to fight, it would be over if they were caught.

She wanted to slip out the back door with Stone, but from the crack of the back door, she saw a large group of people with guns walking over.

Oh no. Lin Yi’s heart sank. She stuffed the stone into the abandoned water tank beside her. “Remember, no matter what happens later, don’t make a sound, understand?”

Stone nodded.

Lin Yi dragged Xia Yu up from the ground and stuffed him into the vat.

Due to the intense friction, Xia Yu could not help but groan. Lin Yi hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

Now, she did not care if she would hurt Xia Yu. She stuffed Xia Yu into the tank and covered him and Stone with a pile of weeds.

Due to the intense pain, Xia Yu opened his eyes in a daze. Through the weeds, he could only see Lin Yi’s extremely bright eyes.

The footsteps outside the door were getting closer. Lin Yi cleaned the blood on the ground, then took out the medical box and sorted out the medicine inside.

The door was slammed open and a group of armed Continent F people walked in.

Seeing that it was a woman, their eyes lit up. They stepped forward excitedly, wanting to pull Lin Yi away.

Lin Yi took out a scalpel and used a defensive posture. “Don’t come over.”

The soldiers were not afraid of the knife in Lin Yi’s hand at all. They had been in the desert all year round and had never seen such a delicate woman. Now that they saw Lin Yi, they were like wolves seeing meat. Nothing could stop them.

“What are you doing?” At this moment, a tall black man walked in. He looked like the leader of this group.

The soldiers chatted excitedly with him and looked at Lin Yi as if they wanted to eat him alive.

The leader glanced at Lin Yi, his attention attracted by the scalpel in her hand. He said in English, “You’re a doctor?”

Lin Yi gripped the knife in her hand tightly and nodded. “Mm.”

“Take her away.” The leader gestured for his subordinates to take her away.

As the soldiers walked towards her, they smiled maliciously. Some of them even touched Lin Yi’s waist.

Lin Yi pressed the scalpel to her throat. “Guard your people well. If they dare to mess around, I’ll die here immediately.”

Lin Yi was confident in her words. Continent F was filled with war all year round, and doctors and medicine were the rarest things in every faction.

Here, a doctor was more valuable than gold of the same size.

The rarer it was, the more expensive it was. Only powerful places could have their own medical staff.

For example, this group of people did not dare to fall sick. If they fell sick, no one would treat them. A small cold might kill them.

As expected, after Lin Yi finished speaking, the leader berated his subordinate and made an inviting gesture to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi walked forward with the knife.

Behind her, the leader searched the surroundings, his gaze landing on the water vat with many weeds around.

He said something to his subordinate, who took his gun and prepared to search.

From the corner of her eye, Lin Yi saw the actions of this group of people. She made up her mind and took advantage of the negligence of the soldiers beside her to run out.

At this moment, who could care less about searching the house? Everyone ran out to capture Lin Yi.

The most valuable person in the team was this doctor.

Lin Yi tried her best to run away from the house and desert, but in the end, she could not escape the capture of the strong soldiers.

After running for nearly a few hundred meters, Lin Yi was caught.

They were already a distance away from the simple house and closer to the team’s helicopter and SUV.

The leader could not be bothered to do anything else. Anyway, he had already earned enough by catching a doctor.

He immediately left this place with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi’s hands were tied as she boarded the plane. Through the window, Lin Yi looked at the house from afar and sighed in her heart.

She even said that she wanted to return to China to eat the three fresh rice noodles at her doorstep. Now, she was afraid that she would never be able to go back.

In the water tank, Stone hid inside and did not even dare to breathe loudly. After some time, the sky gradually darkened. Under the moonlight, Stone climbed out of the water tank.

She leaned towards the door and looked. There was nothing but endless yellow sand outside.

He returned to check Xia Yu’s breathing. It was still calm, and Stone did not dare to move Xia Yu. He could only guard outside the water tank and wait for Xia Yu to wake up.

When the sun rose the next day, there was finally some movement in the water tank. “Water…”

Stone suddenly woke up and hurriedly poured some water for Xia Yu to drink.

As the cool dew entered his mouth, Xia Yu’s thoughts seemed to clear up. He looked at the stone. “Is Lin Yi not back yet?”

At the mention of Lin Yi, Stone’s tears flowed. “Brother Xia Yu, Sister Lin Yi has been captured!”

“Don’t cry.” Xia Yu moved slightly and felt a pain in his back. “Speak slowly.”

Stone told Xia Yu everything that had happened yesterday word by word. The more Xia Yu listened, the more serious his expression became.

Continent F was so chaotic. Even if Lin Yi, a girl, knew medicine and could receive preferential treatment, how long could this preferential treatment last?

Help me up.” Xia Yu handed his hand to Stone. Stone hurriedly walked over and helped Xia Yu up.

Xia Yu slowly walked out of the door. He looked around and suddenly pointed at a black thing not far away. “Stone, pick that up and let me take a look.”

Stone ran over and picked up a badge. Xia Yu took a look and knew that this was a special symbol of the team. Every team had their own unique symbol.

With this, they would know who had captured Lin Yi.

Xia Yu walked around and felt a pain in his shoulder and back. He slowed down and waved at Stone. “Come here. Let’s rest here for a few days. When my injuries recover, we’ll save your Sister Lin.”

Lin Yi had medical skills. According to the scarcity of doctors here, she should not be in danger for the time being.

“Okay.” Stone walked over and helped Xia Yu into the house.

Those people ran away in a hurry and did not care about the water and medicine on the ground. There was still compressed food that Lin Yi had carried back from outside in her backpack.

Xia Yu flipped through it and ate carefully. These things were enough for him and Stone to eat for a week.

——

In China, Chu Yi sat on the sofa and yawned lazily. After taking off his glasses, he lost his elegance and had an extremely invasive aura.

“You haven’t found it yet?” Chu Yi picked up a cigarette and his assistant lit it for him.

Chu Yi took a puff and blew out the smoke ring. “Trash.”

The assistant looked at Chu Yi carefully. “Young Master, K’s people seem to be looking for him too, but they can’t find him.”

“Oh?” Chu Yi frowned slightly. “Is K short of money?”

The assistant’s lips twitched. “Of course not.”

Their mining business was already very profitable. The things K did were all shady, but a business with tens of millions of benefits was lacking money? Impossible. 

Chu Yi naturally knew that K did not lack money, but he was also paying attention to this person.

This made Chu Yi a little curious.

He sat up. “Interesting. K’s hand has probably reached China long ago.”

The assistant cowered at the side and did not dare to speak.

At that moment, Chu Yi’s phone suddenly rang. Chu Yi glanced at it, stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, and then pressed the answer button. His voice was extremely elegant. “Hello.”

Feng Wuyou sounded very happy. “Where are you? I want to go out for a meal. Are you coming with me?”

Chu Yi smiled gently. “Okay, then come and pick me up.”

“Mm, wait for me obediently.” Feng Wuyou had the style of a rich sugar mommy.

After hanging up, Chu Yi put on his glasses again and took the mouthwash beside him to rinse his mouth. “Bring me a shirt that doesn’t smell of smoke.”

“Yes.” The assistant retreated respectfully and went to prepare what Chu Yi needed.

When Chu Yi arrived at the school gate, he received a call from Feng Wuyou. She had forgotten to refuel the car and was about to go to the bus station to refuel when she asked Chu Yi to wait for her at the door.

Chu Yi walked towards the path by the roadside. There were few people here, so he wanted to wait for Feng Wuyou here.

Unexpectedly, after standing for less than a minute, he looked up and saw Xia Wanyuan walking over.

A dark glint flashed across Chu Yi’s eyes. He walked forward and greeted Xia Wanyuan. “Mrs. Jun, what a coincidence to meet you here.”

Xia Wanyuan looked up at Chu Yi.

This glance shocked Chu Yi. He sighed. No wonder the outside world said that Jun Shiling had accumulated merit by marrying such a woman.

From the looks of it, Xia Wanyuan was indeed someone who was worthy of such praise. 

“And you are?”

“I’m Chu Yi.” Chu Yi smiled. “I’m Feng Wuyou’s boyfriend.”

Hearing this surname Chu, Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of the Chu family that dominated Continent F, but she did not ask further and walked straight forward. “I still have classes, so I won’t accompany you.”

“Okay.” Chu Yi nodded, then gentlemanly made way for Xia Wanyuan.

Before Xia Wanyuan left, she glanced at him.

The feeling this Chu Yi gave her did not seem right.

Not long after Xia Wanyuan left, Feng Wuyou arrived. Chu Yi welcomed her as usual and left chatting and laughing with Feng Wuyou.

On campus, the more Xia Wanyuan thought about it, the more she felt that Chu Yi had an inexplicable superior aura. He did not look like an ordinary student. She called Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling was not surprised at all. “I did receive news that the young master of the Chu family, Chu Yi, has arrived in China. He is engaged to Feng Wuyou of the Feng family.”

“Alright.” Xia Wanyuan roughly understood the information.

“Are you going to class soon?”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan walked in with her bag. Along the way, many people greeted her.

“I’ll pick you up after class.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan stepped into the classroom and began the day’s lecture.

——

Linxi City, the Wei family’s old residence.

It was spring and the flowers were blooming. The Suhang District in the south was naturally filled with beauties.

“Wretched girl, get out quickly. Young Master Lin has been waiting for you for a long time.” After Wei Zhong apologized to Lin Qingyuan outside, he came in to urge Wei Jin.

Ding Hui walked over reluctantly. “Stop rushing her. She’s a girl. It takes time to dress up.”

Wei Zhong glared at Ding Hui. “Shut up, useless thing.”

Ding Hui cowered and finally shut her mouth in silence.

She hated Wei Zhong to death in her heart, just as she hated her group of vampires who clung to her family.

However, she had to admit that she could not leave Wei Zhong or her vampire family.

She needed Wei Zhong to provide her with the identity of the mistress of the Wei family. She needed to seek recognition in front of that group of family members.

She always lived under Wei Zhong’s belittlement, so she needed to rely on that group of vampire families to show her value.

Wei Jin finally walked out. She was wearing a light green cheongsam. Her hair was tied up and gently fixed with a jade hairpin. Her carefully applied makeup made her face look even more beautiful.

Wei Zhong nodded in satisfaction.

Although Ding Hui was short and ugly, he had to admit that he was very satisfied with the daughter she had given him.

“Alright, go out quickly. Don’t make Young Master Lin wait too long,” Wei Zhong said and got someone to bring Wei Jin out.

Outside the door, Lin Qingyuan leaned against the car. When he saw Wei Jin come out, his eyes lit up. “Miss Wei, you’re so beautiful today.”

Wei Jin replied calmly, “Mr. Lin, you’re too kind.”

“You’re the one who’s being polite to me.” Lin Qingyuan helped Wei Jin open the car door. “We’re getting married soon, but you’re still treating me like an outsider. Just call me Qingyuan.”

Wei Jin got into the car. “No need. I’ll call you Mr. Lin.”

Lin Qingyuan did not continue to say anything. He helped Wei Jin buckle her seatbelt. “Let’s go to a restaurant in the west of the city today. The seafood there was flown over from the sea.”

“Anything.” Wei Jin was expressionless, as if what she ate had nothing to do with her.

Lin Qingyuan was not in a hurry to start the car. Instead, he turned around and looked at Wei Jin’s side profile seriously. “Wei Jin, how can you believe that I really want to marry you?”

“Is this the reason you snatched a married woman?” Wei Jin turned to look at Lin Qingyuan. “You clearly know that I’ve already married before.”

Lin Qingyuan pursed his lips. “So what? Nothing happened between you and him. Besides, even if something happened, I don’t mind.”

Wei Jin turned around. “As the future head of the Lin family, what can’t you get? Why do you keep pestering me?”

“Because I only want you by my side.” Lin Qingyuan looked at Wei Jin’s side profile with a hint of love in his eyes.

Wei Jin turned around and wanted to say something to Lin Qingyuan, but she was caught off guard by the emotions in his eyes. “I don’t think I’m so charming that Young Master Lin is deeply in love with me.”

Lin Qingyuan smiled and took out a small bracelet from his pocket. Seeing the bracelet, Wei Jin frowned slightly. “You…”

“Do you remember this?” Lin Qingyuan smiled. “Twenty years ago, you dropped the bracelet when you saved me.”

No one in the world would have thought that he could become the next head of the Lin family.

Because he was someone who had been exiled from the Lin family.

Twenty years ago, when his mother had just passed away, the other families of the Lin family could not wait to chase Lin Qingyuan out of the Lin family.

It was the New Year’s Eve of a snowy month.

While the others were happily eating New Year’s Eve dinner, Lin Qingyuan was walking barefooted in a tattered shirt.

At that time, it did not matter if he was cold or not. Anyway, his feet were already swollen and filled with blood.

Lin Qingyuan was hungry and cold as he fell by the roadside.

He clearly remembered that just as he was about to freeze to death, a girl who was as exquisite as a doll walked over. Not only did she get the servant to buy him new clothes, but she also gave him all her pocket money.

After warming up, he wanted to thank the girl. At that moment, the girl’s parents had already walked out of the mall. They waved at the little girl. “Wei Jin, what are you doing? Come over.”

“Hey! I’m here!” The little girl agreed crisply and ran towards her parents.

She ran so quickly that the bracelet fell to the ground. Lin Qingyuan picked it up and treasured it.

This treasure lasted for twenty years.

In the beginning, this bracelet was only a memento. It constantly reminded Lin Qingyuan of his humiliation back then and the only warmth on that snowy night.

Later on, Lin Qingyuan returned to the country. He, who had no intention of marriage, flipped through the information Wei Jin had sent over.

Looking at the smiling Wei Jin in the photo, Lin Qingyuan felt that she overlapped with the little girl in his memory.

Only then did Lin Qingyuan make up his mind to marry Wei Jin.

Looking at the bracelet in Lin Qingyuan’s hand, Wei Jin had some impression of what had happened back then. “Since you feel that I saved you and you want to repay my kindness, you should let me go back.”

“No.” Lin Qingyuan put away the bracelet and put it back. He looked at Wei Jin with a deep gaze. “Originally, I just wanted to repay your kindness, but the moment I saw you, I changed my mind.”

Back then, he wanted to repay her because the baby in his memory gave him endless courage and warmth.

However, the moment he saw Wei Jin, Lin Qingyuan changed his mind.

Wei Jin had already grown into the person in his dream. He must marry Wei Jin.

Wei Jin ignored Lin Qingyuan’s gaze and leaned her head to the side, looking unwilling to talk to Lin Qingyuan anymore.

Lin Qingyuan did not say anything else. He started the car and drove towards the restaurant.

——

In Beijing, after Xia Wanyuan’s class, Jun Shiling was already waiting at the classroom door.

Xia Wanyuan walked over. “Why are you so free to pick me up today?”

Jun Shiling smiled and took the bag from Xia Wanyuan. “I’m not very busy today.”

Not only was Jun Shiling not busy today, but Xia Wanyuan also ended class early. The two of them went to the kindergarten to pick Xiao Bao up.

Xiao Bao had been placed at Old Master’s house these few days.

He had thought that the chauffeur had come to pick him up, but he did not expect to see Xia Wanyuan the moment he got into the car. Xiao Bao’s eyes lit up in excitement.

However, when he saw Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao snorted and ignored him angrily.
