CHAPTER 747
At this point, Bolin did not know whom to believe among the three.
Just now everyone had thought things were going smoothly and awaiting their order when Dijun attacked them, pulling out a knife and lounging for him.
Thankfully, his partner was attentive and immediately pulled out his gun while they fought.
This singular action had caused Dijun’s focus to break and Bolin took hold of the opportunity to tackle him to the ground.
Now that they felt one situation has been solved after knocking out Dijun and binding him up, they heard a gunshot, speaking otherwise.
.....
“Seriously.” Sojin gritted his teeth, shaking his head a bit but kept his gaze locked on the guys before him.
“Why not remove that tape from her mouth and ask her the bloody question except for some reason, I should be led to believe, you are working with them, Yu.”
“How dare you insinuate such nonsense? I am loyal to my employer,” the fifth guy, Yu, hollered in rage.
“Then shut up and let me do my damn job in protecting her!” He took a step closer to the men, his eyes burning in fury at the turn of events.
“Do you think they would save you if they hear your lies? Fine then, I would end this and make things easier for us.”
“Wait. Wait. Wait! Do not shoot okay,” the third guy yelled out seeing the deadly look in Sojin’s eyes.
“Fine. Speak.”
“Okay, but tell me, what did you do to Dijun?”
“Tied him up when he attacked Yu and then we heard the gunshot. We...” Bolin stopped speaking when he saw the smirk form on the third guy’s face and shuddered. “You.”
“That’s all I needed to hear. Wolf, now.”
To their surprise, the first guy launched for Sojin, snaking an arm around his waist and pushing him into the wall.
While the other two got confused for a minute, the third guy immediately stood up and dashed for Li Jing.
Everything had happened so fast and the first two began to brawl, pushing and hitting, causing the gun to fall to the ground when Bolin dived down, picked it up and immediately, pointed the gun at the third guy.
“Now everyone stop, I have got her.”
BANG!
BANG!
At the same time the gunshot was released, Li Jingheard a sharp cry as the third guy holding onto her, let her go and fell on his keens in pain.
She took hold of the opportunity and scrambled far from them all while watching the other two brawl it out with the first guy.
Everything had happened so fast that when they instantly became oblivious to the second gunshot that resounded after the first.
The sound resonated in the building again and this time everyone stopped briefly but not before Sojin landed both elbows on the spin of the first guy, sending him straight to the ground.
“We’ve been found, Bolin stated, looking at his comrades.”
“Shit. I hope it’s not the cops but we need to run,” Sojin suggested hastily.
“What about her?”
“We can’t take her with us, we must leave now,” Bolin swiftly.
As much as he wished Li Jing Would not be in any danger, they could not risk being caught.
Just having this whole operation messed up was a shame to him but being caught would mean them being tortured and interrogated and having to spill who sent them.
They couldn’t accept that.
“Hurry, let’s go.”
“Damn it! Do not leave me here,” the third guy cried out, but his knee had been shot, making it hard to walk.
Li Jing watched in sheer horror the disaster that had occurred in such a short time but when she heard the thundering footsteps along the hallway, making their way towards the room she was locked in, her heart thudded wildly in her chest, reminding her of the possibility that more trouble could be coming for her instead of help.
She struggled against the ropes used to tie her but nothing she did, worked. Even getting up on her feet, her legs felt weak and wobbly.
Her brain buzzed at the thought of all the gunshots she had to face during this period.
It was a nightmare and more than anything, she wished she had listened to Ye Cheng and not left the house or gone without protection.
Suddenly she felt hurried footsteps rush into her room as her eyes began to close slowly. Her brain was a mess and she felt her consciousness begin to slowly drift away when she heard someone call her name, bringing her back.
“Li Jing!”
“Li Jing!”
Her eyes fluttered open gradually but she did not move until the familiar voice knelt down before her, bringing his face into her view and shaking her body.
“My love. Speak to me, please,” Ye Cheng called out in fright.
His gaze swept through the surroundings as Ren, Fong Wei Ling and two of the men with him rushed for the guys on the ground, rounding them up.
“Li Jing.” Noticing her eyes finally opened properly, he inhaled deeply, calming himself not to give her a fright more than she had already gotten for the night.
“My love, this would hurt but, bear with it, please.” He wasted no time and peeled a part of the tape on her lips slowly before tugging at it at once, freeing her lips from the hold.
She exhaled sharply, letting her body fall forward on his chest, being able to breathe and speak once more.
“Ye Cheng.”
“It’s okay now. I am here. You are safe. You are safe.”
A few minutes passed and she did not move, all she did was sob on his chest, thinking of how much she got scared thinking she might die if things go wrong and he would be left to bear the guilt all his life.
Just recalling how hurt and seeing how frantic he was seeing her in such a state, scarred the life out of her and all she could do in the atonement was weep.
“I’m sorry,” she let out seconds later, pulling back to look into his eyes.
“No, love. I am sorry for not protecting you properly. Forgive me.”
Sliding his hand up her arm, he reached for her face and pressed his lips gently on hers, ignoring the feel of the gum on her lips as he kissed her.
“Forgive me,” he apologized again as he pulled her head to his shoulder.
She rested there, oblivious to what he was doing until she heard the rope being tugged on and cut, setting her limbs free, one by one.
Once he freed her, he held her shoulders and pulled her body from his, staring deeply into her eyes.
She could feel the deadly aura emit from him. He was mad and his eyes were filled with rage.
“Did they hurt you?” Ye Cheng inquired and the second those words left his mouth, his eyes landed on the bruise on her face.
“Those bastards,” he scowled out. “How dare they!”
Both Fong Wei Ling and Ren snapped their head in his direction to get a glimpse of what was going on when they saw Li Jing shake her head, hoping to make him snap out of it.
“I would make them pay.”
“No. They didn’t hurt me. Only that guy hit me. Calm down, please. Ye Cheng.”
Li Jing gulped when her eyes caught sight of him clenching hard on the knife in his right hand.
“Ye Cheng. Please, come back to me. Please.”
