Chapter 349: Chapter 356: Lin Qiong Meets the Mysterious Person Again

Lin Qiong had to work overtime until past eight o’clock tonight, and only then did she drive her weary body back to the residential complex where she lived.

Yet, at this moment, she was extremely vigilant; Qian Wanjun’s escape posed a great threat, and she believed that Qian Wanjun would certainly not let her off the hook.

Even though she had reached inside the complex, she did not relax at all. It wasn’t until she opened her front door and entered her home that she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to turn on the light, a sense of crisis suddenly surged up, and she saw a dark figure lunging at her.

Even though Lin Qiong was greatly startled, she didn’t panic. She ducked her body to one side and delivered a kick to the assailant’s abdomen.

Lin Qiong had been training very hard recently and had made significant progress in her martial arts. The kick she launched was not only powerful but also very fast—she fully believed that there wouldn’t be many in the entire Public Security System of Mile City who could dodge her kick under these circumstances.

But the assailant proved to be incredibly skilled, simply tilting their body to avoid her kick and, without slowing down, delivered a palm strike toward her neck.

Lin Qiong was terrified, rolled on the spot away from the person, and barely avoided the incoming palm strike.

But even having avoided the strike, Lin Qiong was sweating—after just two exchanges, she knew that the other person was far too strong for her to handle. After rolling away, she quickly stood up, assuming a defensive stance, while thinking about how to escape.

The other person, however, did not continue to attack. As the light in the room suddenly turned on with a click, Lin Qiong was taken aback.

"Ah! It’s you!" Lin Qiong squinted, adjusting to the light in the room, and then saw who it was, immediately crying out in surprise and joy.

The person who had arrived was the mysterious savior who had saved Lin Qiong twice before—it was Li Yifei. Li Yifei had decided to use this disguise to improve Lin Qiong’s abilities, as his real identity would have been somewhat inconvenient to reveal.

"Not bad, you’ve made a lot of progress," Li Yifei said with an expressionless face, but he still nodded in approval.

"Thank you! I’ve been practicing diligently with the moves you taught me last time." Lin Qiong was indescribably happy to see this mysterious person. Especially with the worry she had today, she now completely cast it aside. With the mysterious person present, she believed that he could handle any number of men brought by Qian Wanjun’s brother.

Li Yifei nodded again and said, "Hmm, I can see that. You’ve taken it seriously, which makes teaching you worthwhile."

Lin Qiong took two excited steps forward and said, "This... you have helped me so much, but I still don’t know how to address you."

"A name is but a code; anything will do."

"But you must have a name. Can’t you tell me?"

"Heh, then you can call me Hawk."

"Hawk..." Lin Qiong raised her eyebrows but understood that the other party did not wish to reveal his true identity. She figured it would be futile to press for it, "Then can you tell me why you are helping me?"

"At first, it was merely a chance encounter. Afterward, I felt you were a decent police officer, so I decided to help you out."

"Thank you for the compliment, but I’ve just run into a troubling matter..."

"You mean that Qian Wanjun issue... For such a small matter, it’s better for you to handle it yourself."

"But the other side is very powerful, and it’s very likely they will try something like assassination. I really don’t have much confidence in myself."

"Confidence is built through experience. If you don’t go through some things, you’ll never have confidence. I will now teach you some things, and once you’ve learned them, you should have no problem dealing with them."

"Can you teach me in time?" Lin Qiong said in surprise.

"That depends on your comprehension. I don’t have much time, so it’s best not to waste these moments on other issues."

"Alright!" Lin Qiong tensed up, not asking any more questions immediately, as this was a rare opportunity for her. She did not want to waste a single moment on other issues. Though she was curious about the mysterious person’s identity, there would always be a chance to find out later.

Both seated in the living room, Li Yifei started explaining some knowledge about assassination to Lin Qiong—information she could not have learned at the police academy.

Lin Qiong listened intently, occasionally taking notes. Li Yifei was quite thorough in his explanations. Knowing the methods of assassination made it easier to guard against them. There are many ways to assassinate, but Li Yifei could now only teach Lin Qiong some methods that the Yamaguchi Group commonly used.

Every organization in the world has its strengths, and Li Yifei had studied these in detail. Knowing the strengths of the opponents allowed him to prepare in advance, which was one of the reasons for his success over the years.

Being strong alone doesn’t guarantee dominion over the world, Li Yifei’s capabilities were certainly strong, but he was well aware that even the strongest could be killed by someone much weaker if they didn’t handle their opponent properly.

After talking for over an hour, Li Yifei finally stopped, and Lin Qiong listened as if in a trance. Only now did she realize how superficial the knowledge she had learned at the police academy was, and that there was so much she, as a police officer, had never touched upon.

"Ask more questions if you have any," Li Yifei said without immediately leaving, sitting there quietly watching Lin Qiong.

After pondering for a while, Lin Qiong immediately started asking questions with a booklet in hand, and Li Yifei provided her with detailed explanations.

Another hour passed before Li Yifei stood up, and Lin Qiong also rose, knowing Li Yifei was leaving. She truly didn’t want to part, bit her lip, and said, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure!"

"By helping me like this... do you want something from me? I know you’re very powerful, and I’m nothing in your eyes, but if you have any demands of me, just say it."

At that moment, a strange thought suddenly popped into Li Yifei’s mind, and he looked at Lin Qiong slowly and said, "I want you to be my woman."

Lin Qiong’s body stiffened instantly, her face becoming visibly uncomfortable. Biting her lip, she said, "If it was a month ago, I would have agreed to your demand, but I already have a man now."

"Is it that Li Yifei? A very pathetic guy. You won’t agree to me because of him?"

Lin Qiong was startled, not expecting this mysterious person to even know about Li Yifei. She was truly afraid that the mysterious person, in a fit of anger, might just kill Li Yifei, and hurriedly said, "He has no interest in me, and I have no feelings for him. Our being together was an accident."

Li Yifei said indifferently, "Well then, since that’s the case, I don’t care whether you’re a virgin or not. What other concerns do you have?"

"This..." Lin Qiong’s face went through several changes, finally shaking her head and saying, "I’m sorry, I really can’t agree to this. You have been kind to me, and I, Lin Qiong, should repay you, but I can’t use my body as payment. If you ask me to do anything else that doesn’t breach the law, I’ll agree."

Li Yifei hadn’t anticipated such an answer from Lin Qiong. He stared at her for a while before saying, "Won’t you regret it?"

"I won’t regret it!" Lin Qiong bit her lip, struggling to utter these four words. She knew by saying them, the mysterious person might never help her again. Yet if she agreed, then this powerful person might always be there to help her. Not only would she likely never face danger again, but with his assistance, she could indeed make great achievements in the police force.

But she just couldn’t agree. She couldn’t explain why; she used to have immense admiration for this mysterious person—sleeping with him or doing anything else was no issue. But after having been with Li Yifei, she couldn’t agree to those terms anymore.

The gaze of the mysterious person made Lin Qiong very nervous. She even began to avoid eye contact with him. Nevertheless, she bit her teeth, forcing herself to maintain her gaze, not to retract or flee.

Just when Lin Qiong thought she couldn’t withstand the mysterious person’s gaze any longer, Li Yifei nodded and said, "Good, you really haven’t disappointed me."

Lin Qiong let out an "Ah" of surprise and said, "Were you testing me?"

"Not exactly a test. If you had agreed, of course, that would have been best. If not, whether I help you will be up to fate," he said.

The surprise on Lin Qiong’s face disappeared instantly. Without the mysterious person, she would lose significant support. Her lips moved, but she didn’t say the words to agree.

Watching the mysterious person now at the door, Lin Qiong suddenly called out, "Wait."

Li Yifei turned around and asked, "What’s up? Have you thought it through?"

Lin Qiong’s lips were white from biting, then looking into Li Yifei’s eyes, she said, "I agree to your request, not for you to help me, but to protect someone else, is that possible?"

Li Yifei was deeply moved and said slowly, "You’re agreeing to me, not for yourself, but for someone else?"

"Exactly!" Lin Qiong took a deep breath and said, "I want you to protect Li Yifei. If you can protect him, then I’ll agree to your demand."

Li Yifei’s mouth twitched slightly. Although he had sensed that Lin Qiong was talking about him, hearing it from her directly shook him deeply. He had not expected Lin Qiong to make such a great sacrifice for him.

"Is it worth it for you to do this for a man, especially one who doesn’t like you?" Li Yifei asked with a hoarse voice.

"I don’t expect him to like me. This guy, despite being whimsical and fickle, has shared life and death with me, and stood by my side during my toughest times. Moreover, the danger this time arose because he helped me. I can’t let him be in danger. I know I can’t be with him for life; he has his own woman, so I’ll trade my body for his lifelong safety," Lin Qiong recounted Li Yifei’s faults fluently, but her gaze softened as she spoke, her words taking on a dreamy quality.

Watching Lin Qiong like this, Li Yifei was truly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He had only wanted to tease her, but unexpectedly discovered the depth of Lin Qiong’s feelings for him.
