Chapter 1581: Chapter 1596: Cold Rainy Night

"Go!" The fake doctor supported the old woman, and the two of them swiftly disappeared onto the rooftop.

At this moment, although Lin Mu grasped Lei Xiaojiao’s wrist at a critical moment, most of his body had already slipped past the edge of the rooftop, and he continued to slide down. The situation was not promising. Before the fight, Lin Mu seemed brave, but in reality, he was at his wit’s end. If the old woman could hold on a bit longer, if the fake doctor had not gone to seize Lei Xiaojiao but instead joined the fight, the outcome might have been different.

After all, Lin Mu had suffered too much these days. His Inner Breath was disturbed and hadn’t been adjusted; he had been treating Liu Genyou with acupuncture, and his shoulder wound constantly limited his performance. In such a state, he could face ordinary experts, but when confronted with Dark Force masters, he undoubtedly showed disadvantages.

Drip drop! A drop of warm blood splashed onto his cheek.

Lei Xiaojiao finally snapped out of her fear and despair. She lifted her head and stared blankly at the "bad guy" in front of her.

His face was covered in sweat, his brows knitted into the shape of a river, and his shoulder was stained with fresh blood. Every time he tried to exert force to pull himself up, a small gush of blood would flow from the torn wound, then along their tightly clasped fingertips, onto her hand. It hurt, clearly it would hurt, but this man did not give up. His eyes were extremely resolute, his pale lips tightly pressed together, giving a sense of toughness, integrity, warmth...

How could such a person be a ruthless killer?

Lei Xiaojiao’s feelings were very complex, so complex that she couldn’t say how she felt. Although she couldn’t see the ’criminal’s’ face, those familiar eyes and the gun wound on the right shoulder made Lei Xiaojiao know clearly that this was the mysterious figure who appeared in the reed field that night and stole the drugs and drug money.

Logically, she should hate him. Because it was this guy who got her, once a promising officer, transferred to the traffic police to watch the road. It was this guy who stole the drugs and drug money, loosened her clothes lasciviously in the reed field, and even ridiculed her in front of colleagues... But why doesn’t she hate him at all now, instead feeling distressed and wanting to cry?

The policewoman’s thoughts twisted and turned, causing her emotional vulnerability amidst the events, while Lin Mu above was trembling and couldn’t help but curse inwardly. What’s the time now, and she’s still dazed? Brother is bleeding nonstop, alright? Damn, if she doesn’t hold on tighter, brother will fall down and break into pieces!

At such a juncture, he couldn’t care if opening his mouth would expose his identity. Lin Mu coughed and lowered his voice, hoarse, saying, "Hey, beauty, brother can’t hold on much longer. If you have any strength left, climb up yourself!"

"Oh!" Lei Xiaojiao’s face flushed as she snapped out of her daze and quickly reached for the edge. Unfortunately, this building was quite peculiar, and after a long search, she couldn’t find a spot to leverage herself, instead swinging twice in the air, causing a sudden force that tore Lin Mu’s shoulder wound further, blood gushing forth. Lin Mu couldn’t help but groan, his face turning as white as paper. Damn, he immediately regretted; he should have let this little woman go down alone. Must brother also turn into a Meat Pie?

"I’m sorry, are you okay?" Lei Xiaojiao asked frantically.

"If you dawdle a bit longer, I’m afraid there’ll be trouble!" Lin Mu gritted his teeth, holding back the urge to curse.

Do women’s chest sizes really inversely correlate with intelligence? This little woman, how did she manage to get into the criminal police? Her existence, besides having a pleasing face, is simply dragging down the overall quality and level of the public security system!

Thankfully, although Lei Xiaojiao’s response was somewhat lacking, her skills weren’t bad. After some effort, with Lin Mu’s cooperation, she finally safely returned to the rooftop. "Whew," both sighed with relief, powerless and collapsed onto the ground.

"Why did you save me?"

The night breeze stirred, teasing the hair that framed Lei Xiaojiao’s face as she broke the silence with complex eyes.

"Does saving someone require a reason?"

"Doesn’t it?"

Lei Xiaojiao’s earnest demeanor astonished Lin Mu, who was treating his wound, causing him to roll his eyes: Sis, if you want to be Fairy Zixia, brother has no interest in being Zizunbao, alright? Without thinking, he casually retorted, "I love you, that’s the reason, isn’t it?"

"What, what did you say?" Lei Xiaojiao’s body trembled, and even her speech stuttered.

"I said, I like you! From the moment we met in the reed field, I fell helplessly for you..."

"Oh my God! What a dignified and vivid language..." The policewoman was bewildered.

Lin Mu extended a finger, gently pressing on the shoulder acupoint to staunch the bleeding, while fabricating eloquent nonsense, "Whether you believe it or not, since that day, the beauty’s sound and laughter have been deeply etched in my mind. Whenever I close my eyes, I can see your beautiful figure, remember your every smile... If a drop of water falls from the sky, that is the tear I shed thinking of you; if two drops fall, it is my intoxication for loving you..."

"Stop it, please don’t say anymore..." Lei Xiaojiao anxiously turned her head away, her long eyelashes gently quivering in the night, appearing so pitifully charming.

"Uh, this reaction seems somewhat off." Lin Mu scratched his chin.

Boom, a thunderclap sounded, raindrops descended from the sky, splattering with earthy scent. The piercing sirens echoed from below, and unbeknownst to them, the hospital was surrounded by a large number of police.

"Stop!" Lei Xiaojiao trembled as she raised her gun, her slender fingers pale from exertion.

"Are you going to arrest me?" Lin Mu wiped the rain from his face.

Lei Xiaojiao wanted to say, "I’m sorry, I’m police," but the words transformed into, "You’re surrounded, you can’t escape."

Evidently, her stance had unwittingly shifted.

"If I want to leave, no one can stop me." Lin Mu spoke arrogantly, but suddenly remembered his current state, possibly no longer able to dodge bullets. If Lei Xiaojiao fired, he’d truly be finished. With that in mind, Lin Mu could not help but sheepishly add, "Of course, except you."

Women are emotional. This errant comment from Lin Mu instantly shattered Lei Xiaojiao’s inner defenses. She lowered her hand in pale distress, "Why? I’m a soldier, you’re a thief, why does it have to be like this..."

Lei Xiaojiao’s subsequent words were lost to Lin Mu, as he leapt away, soon vanishing into the vast rain curtain.
