Chapter 39 Sea? ocean?
With trembling hands, Chi Xiao lifted the charred blanket and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was inside.
Before he could catch his breath, he suddenly felt another urge to breathe, and he and Lin Jiang stared at each other wide-eyed.
Both of them cursed inwardly at the same time, "Damn it!"
Lin Jiang, who had a fiery temper, shouted angrily, "Where is he?! Where the hell is he?!"
Chi Xiao frowned and said in an unfriendly tone, "Go find him quickly. If we cause any trouble at this critical moment, we'll both be in trouble in the end. I don't know if he'll be punished, but we won't be able to escape."
Chi Xiao knew Ruan Qian'an's temper; don't try to reason with her, because her reasoning was completely unreasonable. Chi Xiao was in tears.
Lin Jiang was also getting anxious. If he couldn't protect him, his plan to see Ruan Qingyu would be ruined. His resentment towards Huo Jingmo intensified, and he pounded on the wall, yelling, "You troublemaker who only knows how to cause trouble!"
The two of them, ignoring the fact that they were soaked from the fire extinguisher spray, rushed out to look for someone.
Ruan Qian'an coldly observed these people: "Just these people? This old man Li really underestimates me."
Ruan Qian'an was completely overthinking it. These people were the elite of the elite trained by Dr. Li, and each of them was capable of taking on ten people at once.
These people carried various weapons, but most of them were not guns, because Dr. Li had ordered them to be captured alive.
They swarmed forward, their eyes filled with disdain for Ruan Qian'an, and their hearts filled with resentment. So many people were arresting a weak woman; they would be laughed at if word got out.
But the next second, they were kicked far away by this frail woman, spitting out a mouthful of blood and passing out instantly.
For a moment, no one went past Ruan Qian'an within five meters.
Ruan Qian'an completely disregarded them and leisurely contacted Lin Jiang via communicator: "How is it? Have they arrived yet?"
All that could be heard from the other end was panting, and Chi Xiao replied, "Something's happened, boss. Huo Jingmo has disappeared somewhere."
Ruan Qian'an paused briefly, caught off guard and successfully pinned to the ground, his communication equipment also knocked to the ground.
Chi Xiao heard a noisy sound coming from the earphone on the other end.
He called out anxiously, "Boss? Boss?!"
Chi Xiao anxiously said to Lin Jiang, "Something's wrong, we need to go to the boss first."
Lin Jiang nodded, and the two of them, fully armed, rushed towards Ruan Qian'an's location at top speed.
When the two arrived, they saw Ruan Qian'an standing at the highest point, holding a slender and ordinary knife in both hands, her white dress fluttering and her hair dancing, as if she were composing the most elegant melody.
If you ignore the blood on her hands and the people she trampled under her feet.
The terrifying reaper.
Lin Jiang stood there stunned, while Chi Xiao, who was used to this kind of scene, quickly joined the battle to help Ruan Qian'an.
Lin Jiang then reacted and went to help, and the last person fell to the ground.
Ruan Qian'an stood on a high place, staring coldly at a road intersection, when suddenly she fell from the height like a kite with a broken string.
Chi Xiao caught Ruan Qian'an with quick reflexes. Ruan Qian'an, lying in Chi Xiao's arms, blinked at him and then pretended to faint.
Chi Xiao held Ruan Qian'an in his arms, but he staggered far away, as if his boss were a virus and he dared not get close.
He was still wondering what kind of trouble his boss was up to when he saw two people slowly walking in from the intersection.
Dr. Li pushed Huo Jingmo in, and the moment Huo Jingmo entered, he saw Ruan Qian'an lying in Chi Xiao's arms.
He wished he could stand up right now, and he fiercely questioned Chi Xiao: "What did you do to her? Let her go!"
Dr. Li's chilling voice rang out: "Sea, stop pretending."
Unfortunately, no one answered him; Ruan Qian remained silent until the very end.
Dr. Li's aged hand stroked Huo Jingmo's cheek and neck from behind.
Huo Jingmo was restrained by Dr. Li's withered hand, and he also lay down close to Huo Jingmo.
Dr. Li whispered in Huo Jingmo's ear, in a volume that Ruan Qian'an could hear clearly, "Wouldn't it be a pity to break it?"
Ruan Qian'an stretched out her arm, yawned, and jumped out of Chi Xiao's arms, asking in a daze, "What happened?"
Huo Jingmo looked at Ruan Qian'an, who had just woken up, and waved to her: "Come here quickly."
Huo Jingmo looked at Dr. Li with pleading eyes and said, "Doctor, please save Qian'an quickly."
Completely unaware that Ruan Qian'an was staring at Dr. Li's hand with a dark look in her eyes.
At this moment, Huo Jingmo was restrained by Dr. Li's withered hand, while the other man was still oblivious, tilting his head back and exposing his fragile neck, pleading for help from the person who wanted to kill him.
This angered Ruan Qian'an, and even caused things around her to move on their own without any wind.
Lin Jiang angrily said to Huo Jingmo, "Huo Jingmo, why do you keep doing stupid things..."
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Jingmo, growing anxious, interrupted him sharply: "Shut up! Do you even have the right to speak here?"
All he wants right now is for Ruan Qian'an to be closer to him!
Ruan Qian'an looked at Huo Jingmo, who was still completely unaware of being held hostage, and sighed slightly.
Walking gracefully towards that direction, Huo Jingmo's eyes shone brightly. He was happy that Ruan Qian'an had finally chosen him, and he felt that he had not been rejected.
Just as he was feeling pleased, Dr. Li took a step back with his wheelchair, a sly smile on his face, and said, "I didn't say you were coming over."
Ruan Qian'an stopped and did not take another step forward.
Huo Jingmo narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
He already knew that Dr. Li was lying to Ruan Qian'an when he threatened her, but he just wanted Ruan Qian'an to be closer to him. What did this person mean by pulling him back?
Dr. Li tightened his grip on Huo Jingmo and said to Ruan Qian'an, "Hand over the things."
Huo Jingmo and Ruan Qian'an stared directly into each other's eyes.
A butterfly knife slid out of Huo Jingmo's sleeve. He flung it aside and quickly plunged it into Dr. Li's thigh, releasing his hands as Dr. Li was in pain.
He grabbed Dr. Li's body and pinned him to his shoulder, then bent over and threw him over his shoulder in front of him.
Sitting in his wheelchair, Huo Jingmo looked at Dr. Li, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and sneered, "So what if I let you, an old man, have your legs?"
At this moment, Chi Xiao and Lin Jiang also came over. Huo Jingmo cautiously approached Ruan Qian'an and shielded her behind him, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
He glared at Chi Xiao and Lin Jiang, then said to Ruan Qian'an, "You go first, I'll hold them off."
Ruan Qian'an chuckled and said, "Mr. Huo, who do you think you can hold back with your current appearance?"
Huo Jingmo: "Hmm?"
look down on him?
Ruan Qian'an walked back to him and said, "These two are my people."
He then kicked Dr. Li, saying, "At your age, what are you doing, playing hostage games?"
He said to Lin Jiang, "Tie him up."
Lin Jiang did as instructed.
Ruan Qian'an said to Huo Jingmo, "How did you get out? And you were even held hostage by Dr. Li."
Huo Jingmo sighed and said, "I didn't know this person wanted to kidnap me. He told me you were in danger, so I came with him to rescue you. I thought he was one of your people, since you two seemed to be on good terms before."
Ruan Qian'an poked his forehead: "Are you stupid?"
Huo Jingmo glanced at the two men and said, "Tell me, when did they become yours?"
Ruan Qian'an quickly changed her tune with a grin: "She's not one of mine."
She pointed to Lin Jiang: "This is General Lin's only son. He happens to be here on a mission. We'll each get what we want. I'll help him collect evidence against Dr. Li, and he'll help us escape."
Huo Jingmo pointed at Chi Xiao and asked, "What about him?"
Ruan Qian'an scratched his head, unable to come up with a reasonable explanation for the time being.
Chi Xiao answered first: "Oh, I surrendered because I saw that Dr. Li's power was waning."
He smiled sincerely, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Huo Jingmo.
Huo Jingmo: "Oh."
Huo Jingmo's thin lips curved slightly as he called out to Ruan Qian'an, "Sea?"
Ruan Qian'an's smile froze on her face.
