School Beauty Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 327 - Burglar

Lin Yi took the baseball cap off the man's head and stuffed his body under a car in the corner. It'd probably take a while before people would notice him, most likely due to the smell his rotting corpse would soon provide.

Naturally, Lin Yi didn't take his words for granted- who knew what sort of trick he had in mind when he gave him the information? He wasn't so careless as to get caught in a trap like that.




He circled the building the man pointed him to before squatting at the entrance like he was a regular Bluewater member.

One member came walking out after a bit- Lin Yi followed him and put his blade against his neck when they were some distance away.

But the member spoke before Lin Yi even opened his mouth. "Bro, don't, don't kill me, I mixed myself in here to see if there was anything good for me, I didn't know this was where they kept the hostages! I didn't do anything or take anything, really! Search me, I'm clean, please… I didn't touch anything……"

Lin Yi paused, speechless. So this guy was the same as him, a fake? A burglar, too.

"Where'd you get your hat?" Lin Yi was a little amused.

"I stole it……" The burglar said candidly. "I saw it sitting in someone's car with the window open, so I just s.n.a.t.c.hed it… I heard this was the place they used to make profits so I thought I might be able to steal something good… Honest, bro, it's my first time here……"

"Oh? What did you see when you went in there?" Lin Yi asked.

"I… I didn't see anything… Trust me, I won't say anything……" The burglar was on the verge of tears.

"Tell me the truth! What did you see?" Lin Yi barked helplessly- the burglar was clearly misunderstanding his intentions here, thinking that he was supposed to keep the secret.

"Bro, you understand it too, right? That's where you keep your hostages- I may have seen that but there's no way I'd spill it! Really, trust me! I'll take it to my grave!" The burglar said honestly. "I'm not even a proper person or anything, I'm a criminal myself! There's no way I could report you guys!"

Lin Yi didn't bother explaining the misunderstanding. He now knew where the hostages were.

"Did anyone see you? Is there no one posted in there?" Lin Yi asked.

"No… There's n.o.body in there… There's just hostages locked up behind bars…" The burglar a.s.sumed that Lin Yi was interrogating him- Lin Yi's motive for asking these questions were the least of his concerns right now.

"Letting you go… It'll be a risk to me when my superiors ask about this!" Lin Yi didn't want to kill this burglar- taking care of the corpse was too much trouble, might as well let the man run away.

Yet letting him go too easily would arouse his suspicion- he had to put on some airs.

"Bro…" The burglar took out a stack of money from his pocket. "This is my earnings from today… here, some cigarette money for you……"

"Hmm. Not bad- alright, scram." Lin Yi put the knife away after pocketing the money, satisfied.

The burglar ran away without turning his head after expressing his grat.i.tude. As far as Lin Yi could see, the guy wanted to be out of this place as soon as possible.

The building didn't have any Bluewater posted in there, so Lin Yi decided that he'd just stroll in openly.

It was a big, empty hall inside- the second floor had been sealed off. It was evidently a storage area.

Lin Yi walked down the bas.e.m.e.nt and saw rows of iron bars forming prison cells. Some of them had people sitting in there alone, and some were empty- almost everyone kept their heads sulkily lowered even when Lin Yi walked by.

They were probably captives pulled here with a variety of reasons, just waiting for their family and friends to bail them out.

Although, it was quite an arrogant move on the Bluewater's part- just how bad was the public order here for them to just blatantly kidnap people like this?

"Xie Jinbiao?" Lin Yi didn't feel like looking through these captives one by one.

"Here, here!!" A man stood up inside his cell and walked to the edge, waving at Lin Yi excitedly.

Lin Yi nodded and walked over quickly. The other prisoners seemed to have gotten used to this kind of thing- none of them even raised their heads.

The people who'd been paid the bail for would have their name called out and released- they wouldn't be able to persuade the Bluewater operative to get them out anyway, so why bother?

"You're Xie Jinbiao?" Lin Yi looked at Jinbiao, finding him very different from the picture Guangbo had given him. He looked healthy and strong in that picture, but was the very image of sickness as he stood in front of Lin Yi. He was so skinny Lin Yi had mild trouble telling him apart from a monkey.

"Yes, I'm Xie Jinbiao! Did my dad pay the money?" Jinbiao looked pretty excited- he thought he was as good as dead!

He had a good idea of the condition his family was in, and wasn't expecting his father to be able to prepare an amount that high… As rich as they were, even his father would have a really hard time borrowing money to cover the sum. He'd pretty much given up hope.

Lin Yi used a metal wire to pick the lock. He opened the door and let Jinbiao out. "Follow me."

Jinbiao walked behind Lin Yi carefully and excitedly- he was so excited he didn't even catch the lockpicking Lin Yi just did.

He walked out the building with Lin Yi, who wasn't saying anything. "Where's my dad? Can I leave now?"

"Put this on and stop talking- just follow me!" Lin Yi put the the dead man's baseball cap on Jinbiao's head. "Stop asking questions if you wanna live."

"Ah? You… You are..?" Jinbiao realized that something was wrong when Lin Yi gave him the hat.






Chapter 328 - Her Again?


"I'm here to bring you back to China!" This kid probably wouldn't follow him quietly without a proper explanation. "Your old man doesn't have that much money, so shut up with the questions if you wanna get out alive!"

"Ah! You work for my dad?" Jinbiao paused, pleasantly surprised. "When did my dad get an underling this good? d.a.m.n!"

Lin Yi couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes. What was up with these Xies? Did he look like an underling that much? "I wouldn't even want your dad as my underling, alright?"

"Ah……" Jinbiao understood the situation- this man was no underling, but a master his father paid for to have him saved! He started respecting Lin Yi. "I'll follow you, bro!"

Lin Yi was amused- this kid sure was a cla.s.sical rich kid, jumping about when he thought he was an underling and flattering when he realized he wasn't.

Lin Yi decided to leave him be. All he had to do now was get him back to China and it'd be a happy ending for both parties.

It was a mission with no challenge whatsoever- Lin Yi shook his head as he walked out the factory. 

A large commotion could be heard when they were a couple steps away.

"Get him! Don't let him get away!! Kill him, kill him!!!"

The shouting was followed by gunfire and the wails of a man and woman- both sides must've taken damage.

Lin Yi frowned at what was happening- had someone else infiltrated the place besides him? The burglar should've left the area long ago, so these people weren't dealing with him. The burglar couldn't have had a gun, either.

What a night- three infiltrating forces were a bit much in a small factory like this.

"Ah! Bro, what do we do? They've spotted us, haven't they! What do we do, they have guns……" Jinbiao almost tripped himself as his legs wobbled.

"Shut up! They've spotted someone else, not us." Lin Yi glared at the idiot angrily. "Just follow me without talking, and don't look around, either!"

"Oh, oh! Okay, I got it!" Jinbiao nodded quickly. "Bro, you'll protect me, right?"

"I'll run away myself if you expose us with that nagging!" Lin Yi hmphed and continued walking.

Jinbiao kept his next words in his mouth- Lin Yi's cold imagery was quite frightening.

The stronger the current chaos, the better it was for Lin Yi- no one would bother two obvious Bluewater members when they were being infiltrated.

Lin Yi walked on openly and calmly because of that- no one tried to stop them, as expected.

Jinbiao, on the other hand, was panicking inside, nowhere near as calm as Lin Yi as sweat dripped down his skin- these were all murderers!!

Lin Yi frowned all of a sudden- the commotion was nearing them, meaning that the infiltrator was running in the direction they were headed in. Lin Yi was a little speechless as he quicked his steps. "They're coming our way- hurry up!"

"Oh… Oh!!" Jinbiao nodded, following suit.

Gunshots were followed by another wail- it was a female voice.

"Brothers, stop that girl!"

Lin Yi had to stop in his tracks for that gruffy voice- they'd probably be under fire as well if they kept on walking with no response.

He'd be able to completely avoid all bullets and slip out, but there was a burden he was carrying. Abandoning Jinbiao here was never an option, even if Lin Yi did threaten him with that- throwing Jinbiao away here meant throwing Guangbo's shares away.

"Be quiet and follow my lead." Lin Yi instructed to Jinbiao before turning to see a figure in black falling in front of him not too far away- the infiltrator, most likely. Lin Yi wasn't expecting her to be female.

He looked as if he were apprehending the infiltrator as he approached her…

"Yo, bro- how's that girl look?" A leader-looking Bluewater pervert called out as he licked his lips.

Lin Yi squatted down, a curse almost exiting his lips- it was the cool girl he'd met earlier!!!

"........." He was quite speechless at the situation. This girl sure liked causing him trouble every time he saved her.

Lin Yi honestly wanted to leave her here to die, but she was still an Asian in a faraway foreign country… It was a rarity for them to have chanced upon each other twice like this.

Lin Yi wasn't one who liked to b.u.t.t into other people's business- not at all! 

But this girl counted as someone he knew… While he didn't b.u.t.t into a stranger's business he did occasionally involve himself with the troubles of his a.s.sociates. He was even from the same sect as this girl! 

This girl didn't have a very happy ending waiting for her if Lin Yi just left her, especially not when there were a bunch of dudes licking their lips at her.

"I regret ever meeting you…" Lin Yi sighed as he pulled the gun away from the girl, swinging it up and firing a bullet at the leader of the pursuers.

The clean headshot fell the man instantly.

He held the girl under his arm with one hand and grabbed Jinbiao's collar with the other before darting out the factory door.

It was a simple tactic- Lin Yi merely used the time frame from the sudden confusion to make a retreat.

Acting as if he were stopping the girl as an official Bluewater member established a clear connection with the pursuers- it labelled him as their ally. With the girl caught, they were no longer alert and pumped with adrenaline…

It was only natural that they have had their guns lowered by the time Lin Yi crouched down- a subconscious gesture.

It never crossed anyone's mind that Lin Yi would turn on them for no reason at all so abruptly.
